🛠️ What’s the Issue?

The lawsuit alleges that several popular Chevrolet and GMC models were equipped with faulty LC9 engines that burned through oil far too quickly. Owners say this caused major mechanical problems, and that GM didn’t warn buyers or fix the issue.

Although GM denies wrongdoing, it has agreed to a settlement to resolve the claims.
