GM Slapped With A $102.6 Million Verdict In California Over Engine Defect Leading To Excessive Oil Consumption | Carscoops carscoops
“We are pleased that the jury understood the issue in detail and rendered a verdict in favor of the class members, who need relief for this defective engine,” Atlanta plaintiffs lawyer Clay Barnett III said in a statement. “The evidence was clear
engineers knew about this defect in this model engine as far back as 2009, but remained silent about the defect because of the cost associated with curing the problem.”GM claimed, in its trial brief, that less than three percent of the vehicles in question needed repairs for oil consumption and alleged that there was no piston ring defect common among class members., but were told to use less effective repairs to fix the problem in order to help the company save money.
Unfortunately for GM, there may be more to come, as reports suggest that there are more classes of consumers preparing for future trials related to the same defect.
