General Motors Faces Class Action in Australia Over Holden Transmission Defects

Maurice Blackburn alleges design flaws in Holden transmissions caused widespread vehicle issues and seeks compensation for affected owners.

The class action targets GM's Australian and New Zealand units, alleging defects in Holden vehicles sold between 2011 and 2024.
Faulty transmissions, including the GM 6L45, 6L50, and 6L80 models, were found in Commodore, Colorado, and other Holden vehicles.
Owners reported issues such as transmission shudders, fluid leaks, harsh gear shifts, and accelerated component wear due to torque converter flaws.
The lawsuit claims GM violated Australian Consumer Law by failing to ensure acceptable quality and engaging in misleading conduct.
The class action seeks compensation for financial losses, with affected owners encouraged to register for updates on the case.
