Call Cadillac and tell them exactly what you wrote, about your dissatisfaction with the car and with the dealership. If they don't offer a satisfactory resolution, you can hire a lemon law lawyer. You can ask them to replace the car with a new one, buy the car back, or do a cash and keep. They'll basically offer you around $50k minus your attorney fee for the problems you've experienced. The car isn't marked as a lemon, but you can't lemon the car in the future.

Which state are you in. Check your lemon laws. In California ‘A vehicle qualifies as a presumed lemon in California if the vehicle in question spends more than 30 days out of service due to repairs, ‘

 

I wasn't looking for sympathy. Maybe I should have clarified that. I was more interested in whether or not anyone with the V has experienced something like I'm dealing with.

I'm definitely on the phone with Cadillac every day and they aren't helpful whatsoever. They push me back to the dealer.

Lemon laws here in NYS, similar to CA, 30 days out of service due to repairs as well here. I will go that route on day 30 but hoping I don't get to day 30.

My car was only in service for 2.5 weeks when Cadillac offered to buy it back or have it replaced. The primary reason I contacted Cadillac was not about the car itself being broken, dealer was replacing dash screen and then couldn't get the car to start, it was about the horrible service and total lack of communication from the dealership. I kept calling to say I wanted to file a complaint about the dealership, and out of the blue they offered to replace it or buy it back. That's when I told my lawyer about it, who lemoned my '22 S class after it spent 72 days in service during the first year of ownership, and he told me to go the "cash and keep" route since I still needed the car, and resale value was higher than the buyback since usage fee was based on + 20k miles.

 

I literally was in your shoes last year. Brand new 22 Sport Platinum. Owned it for 3 weeks, started shuddering and same codes you mentioned. They said it was an ignition coil, replaced and sent me on my way. Same issue again and they said it was the fuel injectors. They were back ordered so I had a loaner for 2 months. Final got Escalade back and the next day same issue. Back to the shop, flew in an engineer who said to replace the lifters. I’m afraid you are in for a long problem and fix.

 

Thank you for this information. Was there someone you dealt with at Cadillac? I've called the main customer support number and they've been zero help getting anything moving.

 

The Vs engine was built in Bowling Green Performance operations in this link is email option to contact them. You might try to make contact with them and might get response to your problem with the special engine operation that is assembled there.

Bowling Green Assembly Plant - Home of the Corvette

 

Thanks for this information. I've reached out to them via phone(it just rings) and via email(no response yet).

 

Heard of many with lifter problems with similar symptoms, not just the V. Parts are hard to get.
Surprised it was not diagnosed properly in the first place.

 

You would think with the lifters being so bad in the last 3 yrs gm would fix the issue but they won't. Stuck on stupid I guess

 

Well I am not a Victim of a painful V experience. Just got mine Saturday with 15 miles on it at 100 miles the front suspension gave out. Leveling system unavailable. Dealership said it has a page of codes and all loss of communication. Two days in the shop and no end in sight

 

Just found this thread doing research for the EXACT same problem to the letter. Same symptoms, same errors. Has been at the dealer for a week with absolutely no communication. Service advisor dodging me. When I did finally get a hold of her, she told me they needed to replace the turbo and rebuild part of the engine. I was floored. If she can find the turbo, I guess she can replace it. Anyway, I’m hoping to get more info Monday. OP, what was the resolution for yours??

 

Turbo, eh?

 

Got a call from the dealer today. Said “vehicle is done!” Didn’t have time to go get it today, headed there tomorrow. I don’t trust anything the service advisor says at this point, but she said they isolated it to one injector. I doubt I’ve seen the end of this based on the other comments here. Will keep you all posted. Honestly thinking about selling based on what’s going. I mean I love it, but they obviously have serious systemic design/engineering issues.

 

What did they end up finding. Mine is currently in the shop for the same thing.

 

Im 770 miles in and am having problems with the battery dying. Get all the codes as previous posts say. taking to dealer on Tuesday so wish me luck

 

I’m not sure if everyone has read their handbooks but in it there’s a website with the BBB that if to file a complaint it goes next level. If you want anything done quickly file there and the dealer will make it right a lot quicker than if you let them drive the complaint at their own speed.
