Cadillac is one of the first luxury car brands to come into prominence in the United States, developing the first automobiles with closed cabins in 1910. They soon added the first crank-free car with electric ignition, sealing their reputation for opulence in the automotive industry. Sadly, today’s manufacturers don’t always live up to the standards this luxury division of General Motors began in its early days. Some Cadillac models roll out of the assembly line with built-in defects that keep them in the repair shop instead of on the road.
DO YOU DRIVE A 2013+ CADILLAC ATS, ESCALADE, SRX, CTS, OR XTS?
Reported Cadillac lemon law issues include: Engine, Suspension, Transmission, Steering, Electrical System, Brakes, Cooling System, and Air Bags. Consumers report multiple defects in these areas, making some Cadillacs fall under California’s lemon law and their owners entitled to a replacement or buy-back from the manufacturer.

Common Cadillac Defects Found in the Above Models
Buying a luxury vehicle like a Cadillac is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, but when your car continues to have problems that send it back to the dealer for fruitless attempts at repairs and may even compromise your safety, you deserve justice and compensation for your inconvenience, expense, and the potential hazards you may have faced while on the road. Common reported problems with the above Cadillac models include:
Engine stalling and loss of power
Unintended acceleration
Oil leaks
Loosening cross pins on the rear axle
Transmission shuddering and difficult shifting
Vibration problems
Power steering problems
Engine noise
Problems with the rear suspension
Rough idling
Steering column lock issues
Problems with the emissions system
Climate control system problems
When a luxury vehicle has one or more issues that keep in the repair shop it causes undue stress and hardship that you didn’t anticipate and don’t deserve. California’s lemon law might offer the solution.
When is a Car a Lemon Under California Law?
When a car continues to have the same repeated defects despite a reasonable number of attempts at repair, or at least two repair attempts for a defect that poses a safety risk, it’s a lemon under the criteria of California’s lemon law. When a vehicle has been in repair for 30 cumulative days during the first 18 months of ownership or during the first 18,000 miles, the manufacturer must buy it back or replace it according to the law as long as the following is true:
The vehicle is still under its original warranty
The problems aren’t due to driver error or mishandling
If the defect negatively impacts the car’s usability, reduces its value, or poses a safety hazard
If your Cadillac meets the above conditions, a California lemon law attorney can help.
