Cadillac CT4 Lemon Law

Under the Song-Beverly Act, two unsuccessful repair attempts for a defect that could cause safety concerns, such as unexpected power loss during transmission slipping, may be sufficient to create a lemon law presumption. Even under the general standard of four repair attempts, having the clutch packs replaced twice without resolving the issue demonstrates a substantial impairment. You should consult a California lemon law attorney to evaluate the strength of your case.

Yes, a parking brake that releases unexpectedly is a clear safety defect covered by the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Safety-related defects have a lower threshold of only two repair attempts before the lemon law presumption applies. Keep detailed records of each incident including the grade of the incline and whether the vehicle rolled, as this evidence strengthens your claim significantly.

Yes, the Song-Beverly Act entitles you to a refund even if the vehicle is financed. The refund would first pay off your remaining loan balance with GM Financial, and then any excess amount would be returned to you directly. All payments you have made, including your down payment, monthly installments, taxes, and fees, are factored into the refund calculation minus a reasonable mileage offset.

An intermittent defect is still covered under the Song-Beverly Act as long as it substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety. The dealer's inability to replicate the problem does not excuse the manufacturer from its warranty obligations. You should record video evidence of the defect when it occurs and keep a written log with dates and conditions, as California courts have consistently held that intermittent defects can support a valid lemon law claim.
