    Status:
    Answered
    I called Cadillac of South Charlotte for a code that I was getting on my Cadillac escalade . I spoke with ****** and he assured me in his own words 98% sure it is covered under your powertrain warranty. I asked him if it wasnt covered, would I be charged anything? He said I would only be charged $189 for a diagnostic. I agreed and took my truck in to them on Thursday, January 25th for a diagnostic report. ****** went out to my truck, came back in and grabbed a paper that printed and told me it was fuel intake cylinder 8 and that it was covered under my powertrain warranty. I said thank God, another mechanic wanted to charge me $4500 to fix that code. On Monday January 29th I get a text with a link to approve work. It was the cylinder that needed to be replaced , an air filter and a fuel system service. The only two items requesting approval were the air filter and the fuel system service. The cylinder replacement had been approved by them . I approved those two items for a total of $488.96 and signed. On Tuesday I get a text that my truck is ready for pickup. On Wednesday morning I get a call from ****** stating that they made a mistake and my fuel injector cylinder was not covered under warranty and I now need to pay $1520.17 and if I cannot pay that, they will remove the cylinder and put back the faulty one. After I havent had a car for going on a week. I call the manager and he says the same and in his words we cant just give you the part and labor for free. According to them it took 5.5 hrs to replace. So they would rather pay another 5.5 hours of labor to remove the part AND have an unhappy customer. ** law states they may not exceed the cost I authorized by more than 10%.

    Purchase 2023 Escalade in September. June 7th 2024 leaving the airport vehicle went into neutral @50mph. Struggled to pull to side of the road. Vehicle towed to dealership. They say engine froze and has to be replaced. A month later no eta when a engine will arrive or when I can expect repairs. I purchased vehicle for business and I'm loosing thousands by the week. The ** have never contacted me only the service manager. They have no empathy and little concern for my plight. I've learned that this is a known issue and that other owners have had the same experience. It never crossed my mind to check out reviews before purchasing an Escalade. I normally Purchase all my vehicles from ********* in Charlotte at the time they didn't have the vehicle I needed. I regret buying this at South Cadilacc. It doesn't feel like family. I know without a doubt that ******** would have given me a loaner. In addition I can't get a guarantee reimbursement. Ive spent $1500 in rentals so that I can keep some of my clients commitments. This has been the most stressful vehicle Purchase in my lifetime. Never expected such sub par service from such a prestigious brand or dealership. As I post this there's no daylight in sight. One lady went 6 months while continuing to make monthly car and Insurance payments. What a sour experience Cadilacc!!!
