General Motors SUV and Truck Recall
General Motors has expanded the recall of its 2011 trucks and SUVs. The issue with these vehicles is that the rear axles have been known to lock unexpectedly. The GM recall with respect to the GM SUVs and trucks dates back to December 2010. Because of the rear axle problem, GM has recalled certain 2011 trucks and SUVs because of the increased risk of a driver’s inability to control the vehicle when in motion.
In addition, new and used GMC vehicles recalled include the GMC Arcadia, GMC Canyon, GMC Envoy, GMC Savana, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Sierra 1500 Hybrid, GMC Sierra 2500 HD, GMC Sierra 3500 HD and GMC Yukon XL. The recalls which include many of these GMC trucks are related to the safety of occupants and drivers.
The recalls for the listed GMC vehicles are varied. Some deal with a transmission shift cable adjuster problem, sudden hood openings, a wiring problem with a seatbelt harness, the non-deployment of the “side impact restraints”, which includes side airbags, possible tie-rods separation and loss of steering, fire possibilities, fuel tank and fuel pump problems and the ignition issues. Some of the GMC vehicles including the GMC Savana Cargo, GMC Terrain, GMC Yukon Hybrid have no reported recalls for these vehicles.
In all, General Motors has recalled up to 55 million of its vehicles, mostly because of the defective ignition switches in many of its model vehicles.

“We were devastated when our 31 year-old son was killed by a negligent driver. Kreisman Law Offices did everything to help us through this very difficult time, including coming out to the house several times which was a comfort. My wife and I were extremely pleased with Mr. Kreisman’s compassion and care for this very tragic and troubling time.” C.B.

“Bob Kreisman did everything possible in handling the trial of this case. It was devastating that I traumatically lost my leg above the knee in this truck accident. However, it was not an easy case to win. His staff was so prepared for the trial that it was not surprising that the settlement offers continued to rise until we finally accepted the multi-million settlement while the jury was still deciding the case. My wife and I were delighted that we could secure our future with this settlement. We thank Mr. Kreisman and his incredible staff for working so hard for our benefit.” T.P.
★★★★★
“My mother died because doctors dropped the ball. I called Robert Kreisman and he immediately set up an appointment for my entire family. We met at his offices and I was very comfortable that he would do the best for my dad and my brothers. He spent hours with all of us in preparing for depositions and he hired top notch experts, all of which contributed to an incredible settlement before trial. I know that he is dedicated to his cases and particularly to the people he works for and the people who work with him. He continues to be generous in contributing annually to my mother’s memory and to make known to the public the signs and symptoms of brain tumors.” V.S.
★★★★★
“My dad was ignored and mistreated at the nursing home that we placed him in. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we made a big mistake, particularly after my dad developed these terrible bedsores. We transferred him as we were contacting Mr. Kreisman. He was referred to us by a lawyer we have known for a long time and respect his opinion. Mr. Kreisman and his staff worked tirelessly to resolve this case. We were fortunate to have his services and will recommend him to anyone.” T.J.
