Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Nature Of Operations and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation General Motors Company is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” the “Company,” “General Motors,” or “GM.” We design, build and sell cars, trucks and automobile parts worldwide. We also provide automotive financing services through General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial). We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and GM Financial. Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses. As discussed in Notes 8 and 10 we announced recalls of approximately 7 million vehicles and recorded recall-related charges of approximately $1.3 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (2013 Form 10-K) as filed with the SEC. Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to our current year presentation. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we changed our managerial and financial reporting structure to reclassify the results of our Russian subsidiaries previously reported in our GMIO segment to our GME segment. We have retrospectively revised the segment presentation for all periods presented. Recently Adopted Accounting Principles On January 1, 2014 we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” to eliminate diversity in practice. This ASU requires that companies net their unrecognized tax benefits against all same-jurisdiction net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards that would be used to settle the position with a tax authority. The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We are required to post cash and marketable securities as collateral for certain agreements that we enter into as part of our operations. Cash and marketable securities subject to contractual restrictions and not readily available are classified as Restricted cash and marketable securities. Restricted cash and marketable securities are invested in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements and include amounts related to securitizations, escrows and other cash collateral requirements.

Sales proceeds from investments classified as available-for-sale and sold prior to maturity were $736 million and $386 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Cumulative unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities were insignificant at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and net unrealized gains and losses on trading securities were insignificant in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

As a result of our October 2010 acquisition of GM Financial and GM Financial's acquisition of certain of the Ally Financial Inc. (Ally Financial) international operations in the year ended December 31, 2013, finance receivables are reported in two portfolios: pre-acquisition and post-acquisition portfolios. The pre-acquisition finance receivables portfolio consists of finance receivables that were considered to have had deterioration in credit quality at the time they were acquired with the acquisitions of GM Financial and the Ally Financial international operations. The pre-acquisition portfolio will decrease over time with the amortization of the acquired receivables. The post-acquisition finance receivables portfolio consists of finance receivables that were considered to have had no deterioration in credit quality at the time they were acquired with the acquisition of the Ally Financial international operations and finance receivables originated since the acquisitions of GM Financial and the Ally Financial international operations. The post-acquisition portfolio is expected to grow over time as GM Financial originates new receivables.

The following table summarizes the components of consumer and commercial finance receivables, net (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2014									December 31, 2013

Fair value of GM Financial receivables, net							$	30,397								$	28,668

Of the total allowance for loan losses in the above table, $466 million and $427 million were current at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

GM Financial determined the fair value of consumer finance receivables using observable and unobservable inputs within a cash flow model. The inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair value of the portfolio. The series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity profile as the portfolio. Macroeconomic factors could negatively affect the credit performance of the portfolio and therefore could potentially affect the assumptions used in GM Financial's cash flow model. A substantial majority of commercial finance receivables have variable interest rates and maturities of one year or less. Therefore, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The following table summarizes activity for the allowance for loan losses on consumer and commercial finance receivables (dollars in millions):



	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2014			March 31, 2013

Provision for loan losses	135			94
Charge-offs	(224		)	(132		)
Recoveries	127			80
Balance at end of period	$	586		$	393

The balances and activity of the allowance for commercial loan losses included in the above table at and in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were insignificant.

Credit Quality

Consumer Finance Receivables

GM Financial uses proprietary scoring systems that measure the credit quality of the receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g. FICO score) and contract characteristics. In addition to GM Financial's proprietary scoring systems GM Financial considers other individual consumer factors such as employment history, financial stability and capacity to pay. Subsequent to origination GM Financial reviews the credit quality of retail receivables based on customer payment activity. At the time of loan origination substantially all of GM Financial's international consumers have prime credit scores. In North America sub-prime is typically defined as a loan with a borrower that has a FICO score of less than 620. At March 31, 2014 89% of the consumer finance receivables in North America were from consumers with FICO scores less than 620.

An account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on delinquent consumer finance receivables with contractual amounts due of $545 million and $642 million.

GM Financial purchases consumer finance contracts from automobile dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to GM Financial if the consumer defaults on the contract. Finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and GM Financial has the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract. The following table summarizes the contractual amount of delinquent contracts, which is not significantly different than the recorded investment of the consumer finance receivables (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2014				March 31, 2013
	Amount		Percent of Contractual Amount Due		Amount		Percent of Contractual Amount Due
Delinquent contracts
31-to-60 days	$	717	3.1	%	$	477	4.3	%
Greater-than-60 days	336		1.4	%	169		1.5	%
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent	1,053		4.5	%	646		5.8	%
In repossession	38		0.1	%	32		0.3	%
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent or in repossession	$	1,091	4.6	%	$	678	6.1	%

Impaired Finance Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings

Consumer finance receivables in the post-acquisition portfolio that become classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) because of payment deferral or other reasons are separately assessed for impairment. A specific allowance is estimated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. The following table summarizes the outstanding recorded investment for consumer finance receivables that are considered to be TDRs and the related allowance (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Outstanding recorded investment	$	864		$	767
Less: allowance for loan losses	(104		)	(103		)
Outstanding recorded investment, net of allowance	$	760		$	664

Unpaid principal balance	$	880		$	779

Commercial Finance Receivables

GM Financial's commercial finance receivables consist of dealer financings, primarily for inventory purchases. A proprietary model is used to assign a risk rating to each dealer. A credit review of each dealer is performed at least annually, and if necessary, the dealer's risk rating is adjusted on the basis of the review. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the commercial finance receivables on non-accrual status were insignificant. The following table summarizes the credit risk profile by dealer grouping of the commercial finance receivables (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Group I - Dealers with strong to superior financial metrics	$	570	$	549

Equity In Net Assets Of Nonconsolidated Affiliates [Text Block]

Equity in Net Assets of Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Nonconsolidated affiliates are entities in which an equity ownership interest is maintained and for which the equity method of accounting is used, due to the ability to exert significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs.

Sales and income of our China joint ventures (China JVs) are not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings of each joint venture is reflected as Equity income. There have been no significant ownership changes in our China JVs since December 31, 2013. The following table summarizes information regarding Equity income (dollars in millions):

Total equity income	$	605	$	555

We received no dividends from nonconsolidated affiliates in the three months ended March 31, 2014. We received dividends from nonconsolidated affiliates of $68 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 we had undistributed earnings including dividends declared but not received of $2.4 billion and $1.8 billion related to our nonconsolidated affiliates.

Nonconsolidated affiliates are involved in various aspects of the development, production and marketing of cars, trucks and automobile parts. We purchase component parts and vehicles from certain nonconsolidated affiliates for resale to dealers. We also sell component parts and vehicles to certain nonconsolidated affiliates.

Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

Automotive

Variable interest entities (VIEs) that we do not control through a majority voting interest that are consolidated because we are the primary beneficiary include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements, the most significant of which is GM Egypt. Certain voting and other rights permit us to direct those activities of GM Egypt that most significantly affect its economic performance. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of the VIEs' operations and cannot be used to satisfy our obligations. The following tables summarize the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and amounts recorded in earnings related to these VIEs stated prior to intercompany eliminations (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Total assets(a)	$	567	$	564
Total liabilities(b)	$	392	$	395

GM Korea Company (GM Korea) and General Motors India Private Limited and Chevrolet Sales India Private Limited (collectively GM India) are non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries that we control through a majority voting interest. They are also VIEs because in the future they may require additional subordinated financial support. Combined creditors of GM Korea's and GM India's liabilities, which were composed of short-term and long-term debt, of $217 million and $242 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, do not have recourse to our general credit.

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

GM Financial uses special purpose entities (SPEs) that are considered VIEs to issue variable funding notes to third party bank-sponsored warehouse facilities or asset-backed securities to investors in securitization transactions. The debt issued by these VIEs is backed by the cash flows related to finance receivables and leasing related assets transferred by GM Financial to the VIEs (Securitized Assets). GM Financial holds variable interests in the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. GM Financial determined that they are the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because: (1) the servicing responsibilities for the Securitized Assets give GM Financial the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs; and (2) the variable interests in the VIEs give GM Financial the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant. The assets and liabilities of the VIEs are included in GM Financial's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities related to GM Financial's consolidated VIEs prior to intercompany eliminations (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Restricted cash	$	1,676	$	1,523
Securitized Assets	$	24,651	$	23,584
Securitization notes payable and other credit facilities	$	20,445	$	19,448

Restricted cash represents collections from the underlying Securitized Assets and certain reserve accounts held as credit enhancement for securitizations held by GM Financial for the benefit of the noteholders. Except for acquisition accounting adjustments, which are not recorded in SPE trusts, GM Financial recognizes finance charge income, leased vehicle income and other income on the Securitized Assets and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the SPEs. GM Financial also maintains an allowance for estimated probable credit losses on securitized receivables. Cash pledged to support the secured borrowings is deposited to a restricted cash account and recorded as restricted cash, which is invested in highly liquid securities with original maturities of 90 days or less.

The assets of the VIEs and the restricted cash held by GM Financial serve as the sole source of repayment for the asset-backed securities issued by these entities. Investors in the notes issued by the VIEs do not have recourse to GM Financial or its other assets, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and indemnities that GM Financial provides as the servicer. GM Financial is not required and does not currently intend to provide additional financial support to these SPEs. While these subsidiaries are included in GM Financial's condensed consolidated financial statements, these subsidiaries are separate legal entities and their assets are legally owned by them and are not available to GM Financial's creditors.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

Automotive

VIEs that are not consolidated include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements and other automotive related entities to which we provided financial support including Ally Financial. We concluded these entities are VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk or may require additional subordinated financial support. We currently lack the power or authority through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Our variable interests in these nonconsolidated VIEs include accounts and notes receivable, equity in net assets, guarantees and financial support, some of which were provided to certain current or previously divested suppliers in order to ensure that supply needs for production were not disrupted due to a supplier's liquidity concerns or possible shutdowns. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and total off-balance sheet arrangements related to these VIEs (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Total assets(a)	$	188	$	169
Total liabilities(b)	$	971	$	838
Off-balance sheet arrangements(c)	$	90	$	115

________


(a)	Composed primarily of Equity in net assets of nonconsolidated affiliates.


(b)	Composed primarily of Accrued liabilities.


(c)	Composed of commitments and other liquidity arrangements.

The maximum exposure to loss for total assets approximated the carrying amount at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Refer to Note 10 for additional information on our maximum exposure to loss under agreements with Ally Financial.

- Definition

Disclosure of the significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether a variable interest (as defined) held by the entity requires the variable interest entity (VIE) (as defined) to be consolidated and (or) disclose information about its involvement with the VIE, individually or in aggregate (as applicable); the nature of restrictions, if any, on the consolidated VIE's assets and on the settlement of its liabilities reported by an entity in its statement of financial position, including the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities; the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with involvement in the VIE; how involvement with the VIE affects the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; the lack of recourse if creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary (if applicable); the terms of arrangements, giving consideration to both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests, if any, that could require the entity to provide financial support to the VIE, including events or circumstances that could expose the entity to a loss; the methodology used by the entity for determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity; the significant factors considered and judgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are shared (as defined); the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities of the VIE included in the statement of financial position; the entity's maximum exposure to loss, if any, as a result of its involvement with the VIE, including how the maximum exposure is determined and significant sources of the entity's exposure to the VIE; a comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities and the entity's maximum exposure to loss; information about any liquidity arrangements, guarantees, and (or) other commitments by third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of the entity's variable interest in the VIE; whether or not the entity has provided financial support or other support (explicitly or implicitly) to the VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide or whether the entity intends to provide that support, including the type and amount of the support and the primary reasons for providing the support; and supplemental information the entity determines necessary to provide.

Debt [Text Block]

Short-Term and Long-Term Debt

Automotive

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and fair value of debt (dollars in millions):



	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Carrying amount	$	7,209	$	7,137
Fair value	$	7,001	$	6,837

The fair value of debt was measured utilizing Level 2 inputs at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisting of quoted market prices and if unavailable, a discounted cash flow model. This model utilizes observable inputs such as contractual repayment terms and benchmark yield curves, plus a spread based on our senior unsecured notes that is intended to represent our nonperformance risk. We acquire the benchmark yield curves and yields on unsecured notes from independent sources that are widely used in the financial industry.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In September 2013 we issued $4.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. These notes contain terms and covenants customary of these types of securities including limitations on the amount of certain secured debt we may issue. In connection with the issuance of these notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement that requires us to file a registration statement with the SEC for an exchange offer with respect to the senior notes. If the registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC within 365 days after the closing date of the debt issuance, if we fail to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days after such target effective date or if the registration statement ceases to remain effective, we will be required to pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 day period following such event and an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90 day period prior to the consummation of the exchange offer up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.5% per annum.

Technical Defaults and Covenant Violations

Several of our loan facilities require compliance with certain financial and operational covenants as well as regular reporting to lenders, including providing certain subsidiary financial statements. Failure to meet certain of these requirements may result in a covenant violation or an event of default depending on the terms of the agreement. An event of default may allow lenders to declare amounts outstanding under these agreements immediately due and payable, to enforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements or restrict our ability to obtain additional borrowings. A foreign subsidiary was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its $75 million term loan facility. We are evaluating alternatives to cure this financial covenant issue and included this liability in Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

________

(a)

The fair value of debt included $25.2 billion and $23.0 billion measured utilizing Level 2 inputs and $5.6 billion and $6.2 billion measured utilizing Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. For revolving credit facilities with variable interest rates and maturities of one year or less, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of other secured debt and the unsecured debt is based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the market value is estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be paid using current risk-adjusted rates.

(b)

Includes private securitizations that GM Financial used observable and unobservable inputs to estimate fair value. Unobservable inputs are related to the structuring of the debt into various classes, which is based on public securitizations issued during the same time frame. Observable inputs are used by obtaining active prices based on the securitization debt issued during the same time frame. These observable inputs are then used to create expected market prices (unobservable inputs), which are then applied to the debt classes in order to estimate fair value which would approximate market value.

Secured Debt

The revolving credit facilities have revolving periods ranging from one to two years. At the end of the revolving period, if the facilities are not renewed, the debt will amortize over periods ranging up to seven years. Most of the secured debt was issued by VIEs and it is repayable only from proceeds related to the underlying pledged finance receivables and leases. Refer to Note 6 for additional information relating to GM Financial's involvement with VIEs. Weighted-average interest rates are both fixed and variable, ranging from 0.7% to 12.6% at March 31, 2014.

Securitization notes payable represents debt issued by GM Financial through securitization transactions. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 GM Financial issued securitization notes payable of $2.8 billion with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.3% maturing on various dates through 2022.

Unsecured Debt

Senior notes outstanding at March 31, 2014 are due beginning in 2016 through 2023 and have interest rates that range from 2.75% to 6.75%.

The maturity dates of bank lines range up to four years. If not renewed, any balance outstanding under these bank lines is either immediately due in full or else will amortize over a defined period. Interest rates on unsecured bank lines ranged from 1.0% to 13.9% at March 31, 2014.

Guarantees

We provide payment guarantees on commercial loans outstanding with third parties such as dealers or rental car companies. We determined the fair value ascribed to the guarantees at inception and subsequent to inception to be insignificant based on the credit worthiness of the third parties. In March 2014 a new agreement was signed with Ally that removed the repurchase obligation for vehicles invoiced after December 31, 2013. The existing repurchase obligation for vehicles invoiced prior to December 31, 2013 is maintained until December 31, 2014 at which time repurchase obligations will expire for all vehicles.

We have agreements with third parties that guarantee the fulfillment of certain suppliers' commitments and other obligations. These guarantees expire in 2014 through 2016 or are ongoing, or upon the occurrence of specific events.

In some instances certain assets of the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may offset, to some degree, the cost of the guarantee. The offset of certain of our payables to guaranteed parties may also offset certain guarantees, if triggered. If vehicles are required to be repurchased under vehicle repurchase obligations, the total exposure would be reduced to the extent vehicles are able to be resold to another dealer.

In connection with certain divestitures of assets or operating businesses, we have entered into agreements indemnifying certain buyers and other parties with respect to environmental conditions and other closure costs pertaining to real property we owned. We periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions in the normal course of business. It is not possible to estimate our maximum exposure under these indemnifications or guarantees due to the conditional nature of these obligations. Insignificant amounts have been recorded for such obligations as the majority of them are not probable or estimable at this time and the fair value of the guarantees at issuance was insignificant.

In addition to the guarantees and indemnifying agreements previously discussed, we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims as subsequently discussed.

With respect to other product-related claims involving products manufactured by certain joint ventures, we believe that costs incurred are adequately covered by recorded accruals. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2020 to 2027.

Other Litigation-Related Liability and Tax Administrative Matters

Various legal actions, governmental investigations, claims and proceedings are pending against us including matters arising out of alleged product defects; employment-related matters; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions and fuel economy; product warranties; financial services; dealer, supplier and other contractual relationships; tax-related matters not recorded pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, "Income Taxes" (indirect tax-related matters) and environmental matters.

With regard to the litigation matters discussed in the previous paragraph, reserves have been established for matters in which we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the majority of which are associated with indirect tax-related matters as well as non-U.S. labor-related matters. Indirect tax-related matters are being litigated globally pertaining to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales, property taxes and other non-income tax related tax exposures. The various non-U.S. labor-related matters include claims from current and former employees related to alleged unpaid wage, benefit, severance and other compensation matters. Certain South American administrative proceedings are indirect tax-related and may require that we deposit funds in escrow. Escrow deposits may range from $500 million to $800 million. Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive or other treble damage claims, environmental remediation programs or sanctions that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at March 31, 2014. We believe that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. Reserves for litigation losses are recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes. Litigation is inherently unpredictable however; and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly it is possible that an adverse outcome from such proceedings could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Proceedings Related to Ignition Switch Recall

In the three months ended March 31, 2014 we announced a recall to repair ignition switches that under certain circumstances could unintentionally move from the “run” position to the “accessory” or “off” position with a corresponding loss of power, which in turn may prevent front airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. The recall includes approximately 2.6 million Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Pontiac G5, Pursuit, Solstice, and Saturn ION and Sky vehicles.

Through April 22, 2014 we are aware of 55 putative class actions have been filed against GM in various U.S. District Courts since the recall announcement alleging that consumers have been economically harmed by the recall and/or the underlying vehicle condition. In the aggregate, these cases seek recovery for compensatory damages, including for alleged diminution in value of the vehicles, punitive damages and injunctive and other relief. Additionally, through April 22, 2014, five putative class actions have been filed in various Provincial Courts in Canada seeking similar relief.

On March 21, 2014 a putative shareholder class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against GM and various current and former officers of GM (Pio v. General Motors Company et al) on behalf of purchasers of GM securities from November 17, 2010 through March 10, 2014. The complaint alleges that defendants made material misstatements and omissions relating to problems with the ignition switch in SEC filings. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs.

On March 28, 2014 a shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against certain current and former GM directors (Hockstein v. Barra et al). The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duty by GM’s directors in connection with monitoring, remediation and disclosure of the issues underlying the ignition switch recall. On April 9, 2014 a similar shareholder derivative action was filed in the Circuit Court for Wayne County Michigan against the same defendants (Bekkerman v. Barra et al). This complaint also alleges breach of fiduciary duty by GM’s directors in connection with monitoring, remediation and disclosure of the issues underlying the ignition switch recall. The plaintiffs in both these cases seek to recover on behalf of GM amounts spent by GM as a result of the defendants’ alleged failure to timely identify and correct the ignition switch defect and of the alleged failure to make accurate and timely public disclosure. On April 16, 2014 a third shareholder derivative action was filed in the Circuit Court for Wayne County Michigan against current and certain former directors (Wietschiner et al v. Barra et al) alleging breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by reason of failure to exercise oversight with respect to vehicle safety generally and in connection with the ignition switch recall specifically. Plaintiffs seek damages caused by the alleged breaches and an order compelling implementation of various policies and corporate governance practices. On April 23, 2014 a similar shareholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against certain current and former GM directors (The Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Barra et al). This complaint also alleges breach of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by reason of failure to exercise oversight with respect to vehicle safety generally and in connection with the ignition switch recall specifically. The plaintiffs in this case also seek damages caused by the alleged breaches and an order compelling implementation of various policies and corporate governance practices.

On or about April 11, 2014 an action was initiated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia alleging a motor vehicle accident on July 22, 2009 involving a 2003 Saturn ION which resulted in catastrophic injuries to the driver (Alexina H. Van Pelt et al v. General Motors LLC). According to the complaint, the subject accident resulted from the failure of the vehicle’s ignition switch due to the condition which prompted the ignition switch recall. Plaintiffs further allege that GM intentionally and fraudulently concealed facts relating to the ignition switch from plaintiff, the public and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over a lengthy period. Based on these allegations, the complaint asserts causes of action based on strict products liability, negligence, breach of implied warranty, fraud and fraudulent concealment, and the Federal and Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, treble damages, punitive damages and attorney’s fees and costs.

GM intends to vigorously defend all of these cases.

We are also the subject of various inquiries, investigations, subpoenas and requests for information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, Congress, NHTSA, the SEC, and a state attorney general in connection with our recent recalls. We are investigating these matters internally and believe we are cooperating fully with all requests, notwithstanding NHTSA’s recent fines for failure to respond. Such investigations could in the future result in the imposition of damages, fines or civil and criminal penalties.

We are currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for the lawsuits and investigations because these matters involve significant uncertainties at these early stages. These uncertainties include the legal theory or the nature of the claims as well as the complexity of the facts. Although we cannot estimate a reasonable range of loss based on currently available information, the resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

GM Korea Wage Litigation

Commencing on or about September 29, 2010 current and former hourly employees of GM Korea filed eight separate group actions in the Incheon District Court in Incheon, Korea. The cases, which in aggregate involve more than 10,000 employees, allege that GM Korea failed to include bonuses and certain allowances in its calculation of Ordinary Wages due under the Presidential Decree of the Korean Labor Standards Act. At March 31, 2014 we have an accrual of 24 billion South Korean Won (equivalent to $23 million) related to these cases. We estimate our reasonably possible loss, as defined by ASC 450, “Contingencies,” in excess of amounts accrued to be 621 billion South Korean Won (equivalent to $584 million) at March 31, 2014. We are also party to litigation with current and former salaried employees over allegations relating to Ordinary Wages regulation. At March 31, 2014 we have identified a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount of our accrual of 171 billion South Korean Won (equivalent to $161 million). Both the scope of claims asserted and GM Korea's assessment of any or all of the individual claim elements may change if new information becomes available. These cases are currently pending before various district courts in Korea and the Supreme Court of the Republic of Korea.

GMCL Dealers' Claim

On February 12, 2010 a claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) on behalf of a purported class of over 200 former GMCL dealers (the Plaintiff Dealers) which had entered into wind-down agreements with GMCL. In May 2009 in the context of the global restructuring of the business and the possibility that GMCL might be required to initiate insolvency proceedings, GMCL offered the Plaintiff Dealers the wind-down agreements to assist with their exit from the GMCL dealer network and to facilitate winding down their operations in an orderly fashion by December 31, 2009 or such other date as GMCL approved but no later than on October 31, 2010. The Plaintiff Dealers allege that the Dealer Sales and Service Agreements were wrongly terminated by GMCL and that GMCL failed to comply with certain disclosure obligations, breached its statutory duty of fair dealing and unlawfully interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers' statutory right to associate in an attempt to coerce the Plaintiff Dealers into accepting the wind-down agreements. The Plaintiff Dealers seek damages and assert that the wind-down agreements are rescindable. The Plaintiff Dealers' initial pleading makes reference to a claim “not exceeding” Canadian Dollar (CAD) $750 million, without explanation of any specific measure of damages. On March 1, 2011 the court approved certification of a class for the purpose of deciding a number of specifically defined issues including: (1) whether GMCL breached its obligation of "good faith" in offering the wind-down agreements; (2) whether GMCL interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers' rights of free association; (3) whether GMCL was obligated to provide a disclosure statement and/or disclose more specific information regarding its restructuring plans in connection with proffering the wind-down agreements; and (4) assuming liability, whether the Plaintiff Dealers can recover damages in the aggregate (as opposed to proving individual damages). A number of former dealers have opted out of participation in the litigation, leaving 181 dealers in the certified class. Trial of the class issues is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2014. The current prospects for liability are uncertain, but because liability is not deemed probable we have no accrual relating to this litigation. We cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in the event of liability as the case presents a variety of different legal theories, none of which GMCL believes are valid.

UAW Claim

On April 6, 2010 the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (UAW) filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan claiming that we breached an obligation to contribute $450 million to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust. The UAW alleges that we were contractually required to make this contribution. On December 10, 2013 the court granted our motion for summary judgment and dismissed the claims asserted by the UAW, holding that the relevant agreement is unambiguous and does not require the payment sought. The UAW has appealed. At this juncture we believe the prospects for liability on the claims asserted in this matter are remote.

Product Liability

With respect to product liability claims involving our and General Motors Corporation products, we believe that any judgment against us for actual damages will be adequately covered by our recorded accruals and, where applicable, excess liability insurance coverage. Although punitive damages are claimed in some of these lawsuits and such claims are inherently unpredictable, accruals incorporate historic experience with these types of claims. In addition we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims including products sold by General Motors Corporation. We monitor actual claims experience and make periodic adjustments to our estimates. In light of recent vehicle recalls it is reasonably possible that our accruals for product liability claims may increase in future periods in material amounts, although we cannot estimate a reasonable range of incremental loss based on currently available information.

Liabilities have been recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes for the expected cost of all known product liability claims plus an estimate of the expected cost for product liability claims that have already been incurred and are expected to be filed in the future for which we are self-insured.

Environmental Liability

Automotive operations, like operations of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a wide range of environmental protection laws, including laws regulating air emissions, water discharges, waste management and environmental remediation. Liabilities have been recorded primarily in Other liabilities and deferred income taxes for the expected costs to be paid over the periods of remediation for the applicable sites, which typically range from five to 30 years.

The final outcome of environmental matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Subsequent adjustments to initial estimates are recorded as necessary based upon additional information obtained. In future periods new laws or regulations, advances in remediation technologies and additional information about the ultimate remediation methodology to be used could significantly change our estimates. It is possible that the resolution of one or more environmental matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. At March 31, 2014 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $120 million to $230 million.

Other Matters

Brazil Excise Tax Incentive

In October 2012 the Brazilian government issued a decree which increased an excise tax rate by 30 percentage points, but also provided an offsetting tax incentive that requires participating companies to meet certain criteria, such as local investment and fuel efficiency standards. Participating companies that fail to meet the required criteria are subject to clawback provisions and fines. At March 31, 2014 we believe it is reasonably assured that the program requirements will be met based on the current business model and available technologies.

GME Planned Spending Guarantee

As part of our Opel/Vauxhall restructuring plan agreed to with European labor representatives we committed to achieving specified milestones associated with planned spending from 2011 to 2014 on certain product programs. If we had failed to accomplish the requirements set out under the agreement we would have been required to pay certain amounts up to Euro 265 million for each of those years, and/or interest on those amounts, to our employees. In April 2014 we reached an agreement with the European labor representatives terminating the agreement as all milestones have been or will be met timely in 2014.

India Tavera Emissions Compliance

We determined there was an emissions compliance issue with certain Tavera models produced in India. We self-reported this issue in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to local government authorities and are continuing to cooperate. We developed a solution, and while the issue was not safety related, we voluntarily recalled the vehicles to serve our customers.

Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Mar. 31, 2014
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes [Text Block]	Income Taxes For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 income tax benefit of $224 million primarily resulted from tax benefits related to deductions taken for stock investments in non-U.S. affiliates and tax audit settlements. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 income tax expense of $409 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, partially offset by tax benefit related to the U.S. research credit legislated in the three months ended March 31, 2013. We have open tax years from 2005 to 2013 with various significant tax jurisdictions.

Restructuring and Other Initiatives

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring and Other Initiatives [Text Block]

Restructuring and Other Initiatives

We have previously executed various restructuring and other initiatives, and we plan to execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing global automotive production and to improve the utilization of remaining facilities. To the extent these programs involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are generally recorded until offers to employees are accepted. If employees are involuntarily terminated, a liability is generally recorded at the communication date. Related charges are recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Automotive selling, general and administrative expense.

The following tables summarize the reserves related to restructuring and other initiatives and charges by segment, including postemployment benefit reserves and charges (dollars in millions):

(a)	The remaining cash payments related to these reserves for restructuring and other initiatives, including temporary layoff benefits of $352 million and $349 million at March 31, 2014 and 2013 for GMNA, primarily relate to postemployment benefits.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

GME recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates primarily related to our plan to terminate all vehicle and transmission production at our Bochum, Germany facility by the end of 2014. Through March 31, 2014 the active separation programs related to Germany had a total cost of $381 million. We expect to complete these programs in 2014 and incur additional charges of $485 million. In total, 3,740 employees will be affected by these programs.

GMIO recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates for separation programs in Australia, Korea and Chevrolet Europe locations. Through March 31, 2014 the separation programs related to Australia, Korea and Chevrolet Europe locations had a total cost of $363 million and had affected a total of 3,350 employees. We expect to complete these programs in 2017 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of $540 million.

GMSA recorded charges, interest accretion and other primarily for active separation programs in Brazil and Venezuela. Through March 31, 2014 the active separation programs related to Brazil and Venezuela had a total cost of $149 million.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates primarily related to cash severance incentive programs for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees.

GME recorded charges, interest accretion and other for previously announced separation and early retirement programs. Through March 31, 2013 the active separation programs related to Germany and the United Kingdom had a total cost of $82 million and had affected a total of 550 employees.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing Net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities that are outstanding.

The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except for per share amounts):

________


(a)	Includes earned but undeclared dividends of $15 million and $26 million on our Series A Preferred Stock in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and $20 million on our Series B Preferred Stock in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Our Series B Preferred Stock was a participating security that required the application of the more dilutive of the two-class or if-converted method to calculate earnings per share when the applicable market value of our common stock was below or above the range of $33.00 to $39.60 per common share. We were required to use the if-converted method to calculate earnings per share when the applicable market value of our common stock was within this range. The applicable market value of our common stock is the average closing prices over the 40 consecutive trading day period ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the reporting period end date. Under the two-class method, which we applied in the three-months ended March 31, 2013, undistributed earnings were allocated to common stock and the Series B Preferred Stock according to their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed, resulting in a lower basic and diluted earnings per share amount.

In the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 warrants to purchase 46 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting [Text Block]

Segment Reporting

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GMNA, GME, GMIO, GMSA and GM Financial. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our automotive segments through Income (loss) before interest and income taxes, as adjusted for additional amounts, which is presented net of noncontrolling interests, and evaluates GM Financial through income before income taxes, as adjusted for additional amounts. Each segment has a manager responsible for executing our strategies. Our automotive manufacturing operations are integrated within the segments, benefit from broad-based trade agreements and are subject to regulatory requirements, such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations. While not all vehicles within a segment are individually profitable on a fully allocated cost basis, those vehicles are needed in our product mix in order to attract customers to dealer showrooms and to maintain sales volumes for other, more profitable vehicles. Because of these and other factors, we do not manage our business on an individual brand or vehicle basis.

Substantially all of the cars, trucks and parts produced are marketed through retail dealers in North America, and through distributors and dealers outside of North America, the substantial majority of which are independently owned.

In addition to the products sold to dealers for consumer retail sales, cars and trucks are also sold to fleet customers, including daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Sales to fleet customers are completed through the network of dealers and in some cases sold directly to fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a wide range of aftersale vehicle services and products through the dealer network, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, vehicle accessories and extended service warranties.

GMNA primarily meets the demands of customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following four brands:



• Buick	• Cadillac	• Chevrolet	• GMC

The demands of customers outside of North America are primarily met with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following brands:



• Buick	• Chevrolet	• Holden	• Vauxhall
• Cadillac	• GMC	• Opel

At March 31, 2014 we also had equity ownership stakes directly or indirectly in entities through various regional subsidiaries, primarily in Asia. These companies design, manufacture and market vehicles under the following brands:



• Alpheon	• Buick	• Chevrolet	• Wuling
• Baojun	• Cadillac	• Jiefang

Our automotive operations' interest income and interest expense are recorded centrally in Corporate. All intersegment balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The following tables summarize key financial information by segment (dollars in millions):

	Mar. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Adopted Accounting Principles On January 1, 2014 we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” to eliminate diversity in practice. This ASU requires that companies net their unrecognized tax benefits against all same-jurisdiction net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards that would be used to settle the position with a tax authority. The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.
