The following news release was issued today by the Toronto law office of Sack Goldblatt Mitchell:

********************* Class action launched over faulty GM engines TORONTO, April 25 - A class action lawsuit has been filed in the Ontario Superior Court against General Motors Canada Ltd..

The lawsuit alleges that that between 1995 and 2003, GM sold approximately one million vehicles in Canada with faulty intake manifold gaskets.

The engine parts have failed prematurely in tens of thousands of vehicles, causing engine damage. "Despite knowing that the engines were defective, GM took no steps to notify owners and recall the vehicles," said Louis Sokolov, the lead lawyer acting for the plaintiff class. "By failing to recall the faulty part, tens of thousands of GM customers have suffered expensive repairs to their vehicles, for which GM now refuses to take responsibility. The owners of these vehicles unfortunately have no recourse but to seek compensation in the courts". A detailed statement of claim will be filed within the next 30 days. The action will proceed in the Superior Court of Justice of the Province of Ontario.
