Your California Lemon Law Rights as a Cadillac Escalade Owner
California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1790–1795.8) is one of the strongest consumer protection statutes in the country. Your Cadillac Escalade may qualify if:
- The defect is covered by the manufacturer’s original warranty
- The manufacturer or its authorized dealer has made 2+ repair attempts for a safety defect, or 4+ for any other defect
- The vehicle has been out of service 30+ cumulative days for warranty repairs
- The defect substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety
Qualifying Riverside Cadillac Escalade owners may receive a full repurchase (all payments refunded), a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement. Under California law, the manufacturer must also pay your attorney’s fees — meaning no out-of-pocket cost to you.
