Are You Looking for a Cadillac Lemon Law Attorney?
Cadillac has long been synonymous with luxury and prestige in the automotive industry. Known for their sleek designs, powerful engines, and premium features, Cadillac vehicles are often the epitome of style and status. However, even with their reputation for quality, Cadillac automobiles are not immune to manufacturing defects. When a newly purchased or leased Cadillac vehicle exhibits persistent issues that impact its safety, value, or usability, it may be classified as a “lemon” under California’s Lemon Law. In such cases, seeking the assistance of an experienced Cadillac lemon law lawyer in California can be crucial in protecting your rights as a consumer.

Overview of the Lemon Law Process
California’s Lemon Law provides protection for consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles that turn out to be defective. If your Cadillac experiences a substantial defect covered by the manufacturer’s warranty that cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a refund, replacement vehicle, or other compensation.
The legal process involved in pursuing a lemon law claim typically begins with notifying the manufacturer of the issue and allowing them an opportunity to repair the vehicle. It is important to keep detailed records of all repair attempts, including dates, mileage, and descriptions of the problems. If the manufacturer fails to resolve the issue after multiple repair attempts, you can file a lemon law claim with the assistance of a qualified attorney.

Recent Cadillac Recalls
In addition to individual lemon law cases, Cadillac has also been subject to several high-profile recalls in recent years. Recalls are issued when a manufacturer identifies a widespread safety issue that affects multiple vehicles. Some notable Cadillac recalls include:
- In 2021, Cadillac recalled certain 2020-2021 CT4, CT5, XT4, XT5, XT6, and Escalade vehicles due to a defect in the fuel pump that could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. This recall affected nearly 30,000 vehicles across the United States.
- In 2020, Cadillac issued a recall for select 2019-2020 CT6 sedans due to a software issue that could disable the vehicle’s airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners in the event of a crash. This recall impacted just over 3,000 vehicles.
- Another recall in 2020 affected certain 2014-2015 CTS and ELR models and 2014 SRX vehicles due to a potential fault in the electronic parking brake that could cause it to fail to engage or disengage properly. This recall involved under 5,000 vehicles.
- In 2019, Cadillac recalled select 2017-2019 XT5 and 2017-2018 GMC Acadia vehicles due to a problem with the driveshaft that could cause it to separate while driving, leading to a loss of power and increased crash risk. This recall affected approximately tens of thousands of vehicles.
When a recall is issued, the manufacturer is required to notify affected owners and provide repairs or replacements free of charge. However, if your vehicle experiences issues related to a recall that the manufacturer fails to address satisfactorily, you may still have grounds for a lemon law claim.
