Chevrolet Cruze
February 2017: A federal judge dismissed the breach of contract claims without prejudice. False advertising claims will move forward.
July 2016: A class-action lawsuit was filed against General Motors for allegedly deceptively marketing the Chevrolet Cruze as a “Clean Diesel” vehicle that meets regulatory standards and is environmentally friendly and fuel efficient when, according to plaintiffs, the company has programmed the emission system to reduce effectiveness or turn off during normal driving conditions and the Cruze emits more pollutants than federal and state laws allow. (Counts et al v. General Motors LLC, Case No. 16-cv-12541, E. D. MI.)
