The big winner will be the Lawyers, owners will get maybe $500.
THe real winners are the future buyers. Without the cost factor of class actions the manufacturers would never clean up their act.
Yes the lawyers get the majority of the $$$ but GM will hopefully think twice before putting out a questionable design in the future.
The class action system is not perfect, but it keeps the big coprations accountable for poor designs.
There is some sort of fraud involved when you $60K truck requires a $12K repair because the warranty is expired or been denied... Especially when you find out many other consumers are stuck with the same problem.
If you ever get caught on the other end of that $12K bill you will want someone to be held accountable.
