Case Status
On July 20, 2022, the parties appeared before Judge Berg and argued several pending motions filed by Defendants General Motors, LLC., LG Electronics USA, Inc., and LG Energy Solutions Michigan, Inc. The oral argument, which covered motions to strike certain class allegations, motions to compel certain plaintiffs to arbitration, and motions to dismiss plaintiffs' claims, took place via Zoom videoconference over the course of approximately four hours.
“Plaintiffs were glad to have a chance to give voice to their allegations and appreciate the Court’s time and careful attention to the arguments.” Plaintiffs slides in support of their argument have been filed with the Court and can be found here.
Keller Rohrback, co-lead counsel, and the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee are confident that the litigation will continue and Defendants will be held accountable to consumers for the dangerously defective batteries Chevy Bolt vehicles.
On September 17, 2021, Keller Rohrback and co-counsel filed an Amended Consolidated Complaint on behalf of owners and lessees of 2017 – 2022 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles. The complaint alleges that General Motors and battery supplier LG Chem failed to timely disclose or adequately remedy the problems caused by dangerously defective lithium-ion batteries.
Keller Rohrback continues to monitor news reports, announcements from GM and its suppliers, and official NHTSA press releases to determine the best course of action for consumers.

Keller Rohrback is pleased to announce it has been appointed Co-Lead Counsel representing owners and lessees of certain allegedly defective 2017 – 2019 Chevy Bolt vehicles. Judge Berg’s order of June 2, 2021 also appointed The Miller Law Firm, of Detroit, Michigan, as Co-Lead Counsel, and named several other respected law firms to serve as the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee.
Keller Rohrback’s team, led by partners Gretchen Freeman Cappio and Ryan McDevitt, is looking forward to working with the entire leadership committee to ensure General Motors is held responsible for the defective and dangerous batteries in tens of thousands of Chevy Bolts.
