ATTENTION:
OWNERS OF CHRYSLER & G.M. PRODUCTS
Chrysler and GM Bankruptcies - Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 1, 2009. It now appears to have completed the process and is set to emerge from bankruptcy as a smaller, economically stronger company, manufacturing smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles.
The most recent announcement however as of June 9, 2009, is that a three Indiana funds for teachers and police officers have filed an appeal to the U.S. Supreme to delay the sale of a major portion of Chrysler to Fiat. It is not yet known whether this appeal will be heard by the Supreme Court, or whether it will have any effect on Chrysler's emergence from Ch. 11 tentatively scheduled to occur within the next weeks.
Chrysler has, however, again started to process lemon law claims, although with a reduced staff and with a backlog of cases.
GM filed for bankruptcy protection on June 3, 2009 and though many steps were taken by the government to smooth the way through the court so that it may emerge as a new corporation as early as late July, or sometime in August, GM is a much larger global corporation with many more creditors and contractual arrangements. Therefore, it is hard to foresee all the legal hurdles that may yet arise. Once again, however, through our personal contacts with the GM legal group, we are advised that it will accept and process lemon law claims, but that these will not be settled until allowed by the court or after the bankruptcy process is completed.
Therefore, if you believe you own a Chrysler or GM product which is a lemon you should contact our offices to determine whether a valid lemon law claim exists, and if so, have us file a claim with Chrysler under the California statutes. For both Chrysler and GM, the earlier a lemon law case gets filed the early it will be resolved on a first come - first served basis.
