Jefferson v. General Motors, LLC
GMC Acadia Lawsuit
Case No. 2:20-cv-02576

Welcome to the GMC Acadia Lawsuit Website

IF YOU PURCHASED OR LEASED A MODEL YEAR 2017-2018 GMC ACADIA VEHICLE IN TENNESSEE, A CLASS ACTION MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS

What is this lawsuit about?

The Court certified a class action lawsuit and your rights may be affected. The lawsuit alleges a defect in 2017-2018 GMC Acadia vehicles’ shifter that causes the vehicles to not recognize when they are placed in park, display a “Shift to Park” message when owners attempt to turn off the ignition, and prevents the vehicles from shutting off.  The lawsuit alleges that General Motors, LLC (“GM”), failed to repair the defect and breached its warranty.  The lawsuit seeks relief for class members (defined below).  GM denies there was a defect or that it breached its warranty.

The lawsuit is pending in federal court in Memphis, Tennessee (the “Court”). The Court has not decided who is right. A trial is set to start on January 13, 2025 at 9:30 a.m.

Who is in the Class?

All persons meeting the following definition are in the Class: (1) Initial purchasers and lessees of new ‘class vehicles,’ 2017-18 GMC Acadias, who purchased or leased their vehicles in Tennessee; and who (2) sought a repair from a GM dealer regarding the STP Issue during the warranty period; and who (3) were not provided with either a silicon-free replacement shifter assembly or silicon-free shifter control wire harness at no charge.  Therefore, you are a member of the class if you purchased a new 2017-2018 GMC Acadia in Tennessee; sought a repair from a GM dealer regarding the STP Issue during the warranty period; and in response you either received no repair attempts at all, or you received repair attempt(s) that were not a silicon-free replacement shifter assembly or silicon-free shifter control wire harness at no charge.
