GM Transmission Problems
General Motors equipped many of its’ models (see below) with 8-speed and ten-speed transmissions. Owners of these vehicles have experienced transmission problems such as hard shifting, shuddering, hesitation, gear shifting problems, leaks and loss of power. Through the years, GM has issued 13 versions of technical service bulletins related to the shifting alone. There are reports that GM has known about the defect for years and that internal company documents indicate that GM acknowledges that the defective transmissions present a safety defect. Further, GM directed their dealers to tell their customers that harsh shifts were “normal” or “characteristic”. Reports indicate that this defect cannot be repaired, and that GM hopes to cure the transmission defects with a redesign in 2023.

Under state and federal warranty laws, a consumer has a right to be compensated for a vehicle that possesses manufacturing defects that render the vehicle useless or so inconvenient, a reasonable person would not have purchased the vehicle had they known of the defect at the time of sale.
Implied Warranty Of Merchantability
Implied warranties are unspoken, unwritten promises, created by state law, that go from the manufacturer to their customers. In common law states, implied warranties are based upon the common law principle of “fair value for money spent.”
The implied warranty of merchantability is a manufacturer’s basic promise that the goods sold will do what they are supposed to do and that there is nothing significantly wrong with them. In other words, it is an implied promise that the goods are fit to be sold. The law says that manufacturers make this promise automatically every time they sell a product they are in business to sell. For example, when you purchase a brand new vehicle, the manufacturer is promising that it does not have defects and operates on the road as expected and intended. If the vehicle jerks and, shudders, stalls or in any manner renders it unsafe or unfit to drive, then the vehicle is not fit for sale as a vehicle, and the implied warranty of merchantability would be breached. In such a case, the law requires the manufacturer to provide a remedy, including compensation for the difference between the vehicle purchased and the vehicle’s diminished value due to the defect.

Thank you so much Kaven was one of the best help me out with the settlement
Kevin was absolutely phenomenal to work with. This was about as straightforward and easy of a process as I’ve ever experienced. I can not recommend the Lemon Lawyer enough.
I was referred by a coworker that was going through the very same experience that I was. Everything he said about the Law Firm was true down to the T. They are very thorough in their proceedings. They also provide you with enough information to make the process very seamless. I was updated and communicated with through the whole process. I have to say they fight very hard for you and on your behalf. These people really know what they’re doing.
Awesome people to work with. If I had to again I wouldn’t choose anyone else to represent me.
Mr. Duck handled my case so smoothly. I purchased a brand new Grand Wagoneer and it spent more time in the shop than I want to even think about. By time I hired Mr. Duck, the car still wasn't completely fixed but we went down this path and did settle. I wasn't comfortable settling until they agreed to complete all repairs, Mr. Duck went above and beyond going back to them to negotiate the completion of repairs on top of the settlement. It was such an easy process on my end and Mr. Duck and his associates were great to work with. Highly recommend.
Duck Law firm did an awesome job! I wish been able to get a new truck out of the deal but the extra cash helped. These trucks are not built the way use to be — so far my new 2024 hasn’t given me any issues! 2020 & 2022 both lemons
Duck Law Firm was excellent in resolving my lemon issue. They followed through with the process, and I received far more than they initially estimated I would when the case was resolved. I will recommend them to anyone who is going through an unfortunate lemon issue!
Handled our settlement with ease. We did not have to do a thing and they did all of the work. Very pleased with our transaction.
My last hope was Duck Law Firm, and they successfully resolved my case. I had lost all hope of my truck being restored to its normal condition. After months of back-and-forth interactions with the dealership, I finally contacted Mr. Duck. He thoroughly explained the process, which proved to be surprisingly straightforward. The firm required my vehicle's documents and any relevant work history. Throughout the process, I provided updates, and they kept me informed. Ultimately, I received a substantial settlement that compensated for the months of distress I endured. I advise against allowing any dealership to take advantage of you. If you encounter any questionable issues, I recommend reaching out to Duck Law
Mr. Duck is one of the top attorneys you will ever meet. I, personally, have been represented by his firm and I could not have asked for better representation. He is the ultimate professional that takes a personal approach for all his clients. Highly recommend Mr. Duck.
