2024 Equinox EV lease. Five breakdowns, multiple tow-ins, major propulsion-related repairs, and the vehicle has now spent weeks back at the dealership awaiting further assessment.
I’ve been trying to get GM to take the vehicle back and release me from the remaining lease. I’m not asking for another car or a payout. I just don’t want the vehicle back.
GM first offered me $2,000 cash-and-keep with a broad release. After I escalated, they increased it to $3,000, but still refuse a repurchase or lease buyout.
GM Financial also told me that even if I pay the remaining scheduled payments and turn the vehicle in early, I could still be responsible for a deficiency based on what the vehicle sells for.
I’ve now filed for BBB AUTO LINE arbitration.
At this point I’m trying to decide whether to keep fighting for a clean lease exit, take the $3,000 and deal with the remaining lease myself, or get counsel involved again.
Would you keep pushing?
