Understanding Your Legal Rights
The Texas lemon law grants you specific rights when your Cadillac proves to be defective. You have the right to have General Motors repair your vehicle under warranty without incurring any charges for covered repairs. If GM cannot successfully fix a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts, you have the right to choose between receiving a replacement vehicle or a repurchase of your defective Cadillac.
Replacement: General Motors provides a new, comparable Cadillac, maintaining your original financing/lease terms. This suits buyers who prefer Cadillacs but received a defective vehicle.
Repurchase: GM buys back the defective Cadillac, refunding your down payment, all payments made (principal/interest), sales tax, fees, and finance charges. GM deducts a reasonable usage offset based on mileage before reporting the defect, but you recover most of your investment.
Legal Representation: Texas lemon law requires manufacturers to pay your attorney's fees and litigation costs if you win. This fee-switching provision ensures you can afford experienced legal counsel at no personal cost.
Common Defects Across Cadillac Models
Cadillac's widespread defects often center on the CUE infotainment system, which frequently becomes unresponsive, freezes, or fails despite numerous software updates. Cadillac also suffers from significant transmission issues, particularly with 8- and 10-speed automatic transmissions, which cause rough shifting, shuddering, jerking, delayed engagement, slipping, and even complete failure, rendering the vehicles unsafe to drive.
Beyond CUE, other electrical failures include malfunctioning digital instrument clusters and problematic electronic control modules, leading to hard-to-diagnose cascading failures in the engine, transmission, climate control, and safety systems.

When you suspect your Cadillac is a lemon, begin by meticulously documenting all problems and repair attempts. Maintain detailed records of every service visit, including the date, current mileage, description of the problem, and a detailed list of the specific auto repairs performed by the dealership. Save all service invoices, repair orders, diagnostic reports, technical service bulletins, and any written or email communications with the dealership or GM customer assistance.
Important Time Restrictions
Texas lemon law requires the Cadillac's defect to be reported within the rights period, typically the first two years or 24,000 miles of ownership. Defects reported after this period may still allow for other legal options, like breach of warranty claims, but not the specific lemon law protections. It typically takes a couple of months to a year to resolve.
Don't struggle alone with a defective Cadillac luxury vehicle. You invested a substantial amount of money expecting American luxury, performance, and reliability, and you deserve a car that lives up to those expectations. The Texas lemon law provides powerful remedies to protect your consumer rights.
