Complaint in GM FOB Lawsuit: Cho v. GM.
For anybody interested in the class action litigation relating to FOBs from GM, I pulled the original complaint filed in the USDC in California. Here it is. A little long, but an interesting read.
https://www.classaction.org/media/ch...rs-company.pdf And the Kazerouni Law Group who filed this class action is no joke, and neither is the lawsuit. Out of sheer curiosity I'm going to reach out to them when I get some time and try and talk to an attorney or paralegal on the case and see if anybody else can be added to the class outside of California. I find anything out, I'll post it back here. |

I didn't see mention of the OBD port hack which is the other way the cars are being stolen.

My car got stolen and I still had both keys. I think They did it with the obd port because they broke a window to get in the car

And if anybody does try to call, me and ls1ya ran into the same hurdle. The number the firm put on the complaint didn't work, and we had to call (949) 612-9999. But now the 800 number on the complaint is working. Maybe we called at peak times, ls1ya, and maybe their phones were overloaded with other pissed off Camaro owners. One can hope, right? But either number will work for anybody that wants to check up on this. Last edited by Texas1ss; 05-02-2024 at 09:27 PM. |

Sure thing, Ventmaster. Will do. Probably nothing will come of it, but I'm just really dang curious. But no telling. If the class could be everybody around the United States, and they can get thousands to join the class, it might get some legs. You never know.

interesting read though it seems that they are mixing up/using interchangeably a replay attack and a relay attack. The one youtube video using a flipper zero is definitely a replay attack, which for all the information I can find the 6th generation camaro is not actually susceptible to.

If you are a 6th Gen. Camaro owner, you need to do this today.
Call GM customer service and demand an security Update 1-800 222-1020. Just like JLR did for it customers for new and older vehicles. I have. If they get enough complaints that might just help us out. Even with thousands spent on security prevention we get broken windows due to this issue being know via tiktok. |

Update on this class action BS. I called the law firm today, but I couldn't talk to an attorney or paralegal about the case.
I left a detailed message, and that I was in Texas, and if the class is nationwide or just in Cali. No call back. Plus, I wanted to let them know their complaint is missing all the other huge issues we all know about and that their complaint needs to be amended to cover all the bases, and not just the FOB relay attacks. Maybe you've had better luck, ls1ya, being in LA. I might be shit out of luck in Texas. But if I hear anything I'll holler. Also called GM corporate to lodge a complaint. Probably pissing in the wind, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease. No harm in doing it. Plus, if I could join the class I could reference my complaint to GM corporate that they could put in my case file. Will be interesting to see what happens. |
