General Motors just can’t catch a break. Since the American automaker began its crusade of recalls, having recalled more than 27 million vehicles this year alone, it was only a matter of time before the lawsuits started rolling in. However, the company probably wasn’t prepared to face the $10 billion lawsuit that has been filed against, the largest that it’s ever faced.
The class-action lawsuit represents everyone who purchased or leased a recalled car from July 2009 through 2015 and is either still in possession of it, sold it after mid-February when the ignition switch recalls began, or had an accident which resulted in the vehicle being totaled after February.
“New GM repeatedly proclaimed that it was a company committed to innovation, safety, and maintaining a strong brand.
