Agree on this, I think it's fake/AI news. Doesn't follow the normal protocols, its too vague, and too far out in the future. The only place it shows up is on the V club website.

Interesting news, this. As fast as the OEM's pivoted on EV's, there could be a similar pivot brings us back to EV's, particularly if there is a big technological electron storage breakthrough, or a political redirection that started the whole EV mandate. I would speculate that there could be a...

Normally when someone brings up the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act on a forum its because of the clause that states the dealer has to prove the non-OEM modification caused the failure. I'm dubious on that use, but at the core of the warranty act is specifically preventing dealers from having a...

Bots...why are y'all are skerd to talk to a human?

My 5 has been on a Noco maintainer using under hood terminals for 2.5 years with occasional weekend use and never have seen a battery light.

Are you sure it just wasn't traction control kicking in? It's getting cooler and the engine likes that, but the tires don't.

No, those are the isolators. Shipping blocks going between the spring coils to prevent squat. If I'm not mistaken, I think they are only on the front. Sweet drawing for your review.

Maybe try writing an email or PM'ing the Cadillac Care member that sometimes posts here. In 2025, phone calls are the least likely path to reach someone in a giant corporation that can actually help.

I would argue otherwise, the toe links are a big improvement over the al dente noodles on base models regardless of use. They are a dealer installed item that is supposed to be done at PDR and I would strongly recommend you have that done.

That’s true, but there really isn’t much beyond oil changes during the power train warranty period so keeping receipts is basic accounting. Plus dealer shenanigans/unintended damage are way more likely than an actual warranty claim that will be denied by GM solely because DIY oil changes.

^^^That is true except for warranty work.

This is such a familiar narrative around here. If you can't or wont do basic service at home, you really you need to find an independent shop that you can build a relationship with. There is absolutely zero added benefit of dealer service.

I guess with a big 'ol sedan like the this, the consumables list is expensive.

I'm new to CCB so wondering how the pad wear rate compares to traditional iron rotors and performance pads. @nordique14 are you replacing your pads and if so, what are the details (mileage, use, etc.)?

I don't know, a 25 minute production over a "stolen" BW? Feels more like a reality show for clicks to me. The curb shot on the right rear at the beginning of the security video made me flinch!
