The Alabama brake defect lawyers of Cory Watson Attorneys recently filed a complaint against General Motors (GM) on behalf of our clients, California residents Scott and Samantha Peckerar.
The couple, owners of a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban, claim the company knowingly installed defective braking systems in thousands of Chevy and GMC pickup trucks and SUVs, and the Cadillac Escalade – all GM vehicles.

General Motors Brake Failure in Alabama
Having your brakes fail while driving can be a terrifying experience, especially on busy Alabama highways such as 280, I-65 or I-59, or local roads such as Mobile, Alabama’s congested Airport Boulevard.
In a truck or SUV with faulty brakes, the family trip to Gulf Shores, Mt. Cheaha, Talladega, an Alabama Crimson Tide or Auburn Tigers game could quickly turn deadly for the passengers or pedestrians.
Car accidents caused by bad brakes result in serious, life-threatening injuries for everyone involved, and manufacturers often blame the driver instead of their faulty brakes. Unfortunately, thousands of these defective brake systems have been installed in General Motors vehicles across Alabama.
Don’t wait until it happens to you!
