On May 16, 2014, GM/GMC announced that increased electrical resistance can develop in the body control module connection system which may cause the brake lamps to illuminate without the brake pedal being depressed, or not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. This could also interfere with cruise control, ABS and/or vehicle stability control function. Failure of the brake lights to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or erratic brake lamp function could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.
The plaintiffs allege that GM and GMC were negligent in the design, manufacture and installation of the body control module in the Vehicles which was a dangerous defect.
The statement of claim was issued June 2, 2014
