Hi All

 

Just seen this on the news;

Thousands of Commodore, Colorado and Caprice owners could be entitled to compensation due to transmission faults. 

If you purchased one of these cars in the last 13 years you could be getting compensation - even if you no longer own it. 

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers has launched a class action against General Motors Australia and New Zealand Pty Ltd on behalf of people who purchased certain Holden Models between Jan 1, 2011 and Dec 24, 2024.

Holden Owners [Past and Present] can find out more about the class action - and register - at the Maurice Blackburn Law 

Firm's website.

Models; Colorado 7 , Colorado , Trailblazer , Commodore VE , VF ,

Berlina VE ,

Calais VE , VF , WM series II , WN

Holden ute VE , VF

 

Cheers Dan

Sounds like a lot of BS. I'm in the trade & apart from a few Colorados I've not noticed a trend.

 

I personally own a VE V6 with a 6L45 (280K on the speedo) &  VFII V8 with a 6L80 (170K) with no issues.

 

The media reports make it sound like another Powershift debacle.

You would be mad not to join if you meet the criteria. There is no downside.

 

The lawyers don't do this stuff without enough data to show a reasonable prospect of success.

 

Everyone hates lawyers until you need one!
