    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    Just to provide an update on the original post-- my CT5VBW has now been at the dealer 65 days and they still have not received the replacement engine. Around a week ago, as I was dialing the number for a lemon law attorney, GM called and offered a trade for a new vehicle minus a devaluation for...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    I agree-- either his lawyer is not very good or there is more to the story. I have been contacting the various involved state attorney general offices this morning. I purchased the vehicle in Texas, but registered it in and live in Louisiana. The Texas AG official ask whether my issue was...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    What has kept me from hiring a lemon law attorney so far is another individual at my workplace who has not had success going that route. His Dodge truck has been at the local dealership waiting on a (backordered) transmission now for 18 months. It is under warranty and he has been making the...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    UPDATE: Tomorrow will be 50 days my CT5-V BW has been at the dealer with a failed engine. I went through the BBB lemon claim system and yesterday GM denied my request for buyback or any sort of extra compensation for diminished value. Their response is this does not qualify under the Texas...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    I do question if jurisdiction falls under Texas or Louisiana, given the car was purchased in Texas but is registered in Louisiana and is being repaired in Louisiana. I have the Louisiana statute open and there is strong language of qualification at 45 days. Texas appears to have similar...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    Continuing to blame the builder? I documented the name of the builder and no more. If I were to blame any single thing most responsible, it would be government efficiency standards which have dramatically reduced reliability across all manufacturers. No different than what similar regulations...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    I did eventually get Orr Cadillac to provide a rental, but no amount of nice logic in the world would sway them, and ended up having to get ugly with them and demand it. They are still trying to skimp and only give me $40/day for the rental when you can't rent a full size (Toyota Camry) here...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    3 week later update— it took Orr Cadillac in Shreveport 5 days to get the car in a bay and pull the oil filter and find metal particulates in it. Told me I need a new engine and the engine is on back order with no idea when one will be made available. Told me they have no loaners available and...

    2023 CT5 Blackwing engine failure

    It's early, and my car just left on the tow truck to the nearest dealer two hours away, but my 2023 CT5 BW started making ticking and clacking under the hood this morning in the school drop off line. When in drive there also was a fairly loud bearing failure type sound coming from the direction...
