General Motors faces a class-action lawsuit regarding the 1.2-liter turbo engine in the Chevrolet Trax. Plaintiffs filed the suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
The filing alleges these engines suffer from internal failures. The suit claims GM knew of defects through dealership reports and technical bulletins. Plaintiffs identify unusual knocking noises as precursors to stalling and engine damage.
Owners initiated legal action following vehicle stalls. A GM service bulletin reportedly characterized these engine sounds as normal. The lawsuit seeks class-action status for owners covered by GM’s standard powertrain warranty.
