A luxury division of General Motors, Cadillac boasts a major worldwide network with markets in over 35 countries. Named after Antoine de le Mothe Cadillac, the founder of Detroit, Cadillac is one of the oldest brands around the world. The company’s slogan, “The Standard of the World,” refers to its precise engineering. Precision being a landmark of the brand, Cadillac’s founder, Henry Leland, imported tools from France to ensure quality. As an example of this quality, his engineers took apart a car, shuffled the parts, then reassembled the cars before they were sent on a road trip. This helped the brand to win the Dewar Trophy for quality.
Even with this hallmark standard, Cadillac vehicles still experience problems. If your vehicle has undergone multiple efforts for repair without a reasonable solution in sight, the owner may receive support for this lemon vehicle. Federal and California laws may provide compensation, either in cash or replacement options. Kaufman & Kavicky, LLP, based in the Oakland Alameda County section of California, is available for your assistance in this matter.
