    CT5-V 2023 CT5 Blackwing Engine Failure (Shavings)

    The lemon law is just for time. I know that’s when GM will start to expedite if my car isn’t finished. I’m not letting it sit around for 60+ days. But the new engine is not to be underestimated. Definitely a value killer for resale and a black mark even if it runs great. I don’t want my money...

    Thanks man. Dealer is great and I’m not going to give GM the chance to say no. Right now the dealer is still having the replacement authorized and trying to get a timeline for parts. I think in another week depending on what they say I’ll get a legal opinion. I don’t want to use it I just want...

    Sorry I forgot to ask you. How long was your car in the shop before you called the BBB auto line? Did you get lemoned for number of trips to the shop or consecutive # of days in the shop? Thanks brother

    Haha yea mine had 2 oil changes before 5k miles and 3 at its current mileage of 10k. Never tracked my recent MPG on the last tank was over 17 so the definition of not driven hard. To me the timely manner happens to be the exact LL time in my state, 30 days. So once it’s past that I will use that...

    Yea definitely not the Lt4s fault. Seems to be a bad batch of parts or some manufacturing error. I’ve seen the words crankshaft, blockage and metal particles on every single post. So got to be a part or assembly process for a limited time/run.

    Oh yea definitely. But what I’m referring to are people who have exclusively had their engine replaced or had a buy back. So definitely only Cadillac officially approved examples. I’ve seen posts, made a post, had people message me, reply etc What tipped me to it was the dealer I took my car to...

    I’m going to give them time. The dealer has been great and I fully understand their go between role. If they do a bang up job and get my car back to me in a certain time I absolutely dont have a leg to stand on and I can understand that. After the time however… I will be courteous. I’m just not...

    I’m not debating that it’s a very small %. But a few things on that. #1 for all the ones we see on the forums you have to assume there are many more we don’t. #2 These are just the BW forums and its motor. Other 6.2s actually have a pending class action against them with GM from a variety of...

    Over 10 just from 2024 forum postings and people reaching out. That’s in 4 days. Come to find out mine is the third at my dealer alone and they only delivered 2. Mine just ended up there for service.

    i have heard of a TON of them so far. What steps did you take to get the buy back process kicked off? Also I find it interesting they’ve had your car so long. I have heard the motors were back ordered indefinitely but also a few folks have had a quick turnaround.

    CT5-V Engine failure

    My car had crank and metal as well. Sounds like the captains and yours did too. My service rep said another customer had a blackwing at their dealership had metal in the oil flow and motor failure at 37 miles. She didn’t tell me explicitly but when they were in the early stages of diagnosing my...

    It’s definitely not a liability. Someone asked and I just stated a name that is public knowledge. But thanks

    It is my understanding that my state auto lemon laws if my car is out 30 days in a row within 18 months of new car delivery. If/when that happens I will absolutely not be accepting anything but a buyback or a new car. My issue and what I need to do is get GM to understand I don’t want it back...
