Your Cadillac may qualify as a lemon if: 1) The defect is substantial and affects safety, value, or use, 2) The Cadillac dealership has had a reasonable number of repair attempts, 3) The issue is covered under the original Cadillac warranty
California law does not specify an exact number, but generally: At least two repairs for serious safety defects (like brake or airbag failures), Four or more repair attempts for the same issue, or if the Cadillac has been in the shop for 30+ days (cumulative).
Yes, as long as the car was sold or leased with a Cadillac warranty and meets California's Lemon Law requirements.
Most cases settle within a few months, but timelines vary based on the manufacturer’s response and whether litigation is necessary.
Some modifications (e.g., custom wheels, tint, or stereo) do not void Lemon Law coverage. However, performance modifications (like engine tuning) may impact eligibility.
