Bankrupt Chevy Camaro parts supplier sues GM for $4.9m

02/18/2009, 12:25 PM

By Drew Johnson

The Chevrolet Camaro is one of a handful of new products that has the potential to create some buzz for the ailing automaker, but one GM’s Camaro supplier is turning out to be just that – a real handful. Auto supplier Candence was charged with supplying interior parts for the upcoming pony car, but was forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy last August. That quickly resulted in a lawsuit from GM, which Candence has now followed with a countersuit.

Candence’s lawsuit against GM claims the Detroit automaker owes it $4.9 million for parts, labor and equipment, according to Reuters. Troy, Michigan-based Candence – which is now in Chapter 7 liquidation – says that GM’s failure to pay could disrupt its bankruptcy process.

“GM’s breach of contract will result in substantial harm to Cadence’s bankruptcy estate, which is dependent on the funds that GM must pay to Cadence to confirm a plan in its bankruptcy case,” the parts supplier said in a statement.

Per a previous October ruling, GM is required to pay Candence on an expedited schedule for parts and services, on account of its bankruptcy filing.

I like the new Camaro, but I definitely will not consider acquiring one from the first year of production. Maybe the 4th year. It should get a refresh from then and the bugs should be worked out.

“You get your money when we have it. Why the devil do you think we got that credit and loans? Now where are those parts!?” -GM

desertdriver,

GM has it’s glitches, this won’t be one of them. If you are going to wait, wait a year not four. Otherwise, you are just contradicting yourself saying you want one but you’ll wait.

GM needs this car to “go off without a hitch” and so they are not going to pull the same crap that did in the 1980s and much of the 1990s. The Camaro is going to be a great car for early adopters.

Just be mindful of the warranty and learn to fix it yourself. I know people who do not have the slightest idea how to add water to the radiator or check their own oil. The only indestructible car is a VG car. Everything else needs repairs and services sooner or later.

Presumably the company went bankrupt because GM wouldn’t pay its tab, so for GM to sue them now is pretty ballsy.

Re; ‘idrinorbarsaku’ ……> Who screwed GM…?

Re; ‘desertdriver’ ……….> “Fourth year” (?) Are you out to lunch. You will be lucky to get delivery on the first year. No interiors as it stands now.

Re; ‘Kallen33125′ ………..> “whoa, idrinorbarsaku actually said something that makes sense and wasnt stupid for once” ……… Not a chance of that. ‘idrinorbarsaku’s’ attention span is shorter then a two year old’s, and his prejudice colors everything says. Almost used ‘Thinks!’ Whew!
