General Motors is facing a lawsuit that alleges defective key fob systems allow would-be thieves to clone a radio signal and easily steal vehicles. Stop us if this story sounds familiar. The 47-page class-action lawsuit comes from plaintiff Jeremy Burkett, a Texas resident and previous (it was stolen) owner of a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck. In November 2022, the Sierra disappeared from Burkett’s driveway with no broken glass, no car alarm, and seemingly no damage.
