  • 1 repair attempt: documented service visits.
  • Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act: the claim also relied on federal warranty law.
💡 Zero Cost to the Client: Under Florida's Lemon Law and Magnuson-Moss, Cadillac was required to pay Easy Lemon's legal fees upon successful resolution. The client paid $0 out of pocket†.

Common Questions

2025 Cadillac Optiq Lemon Law Questions in Florida

What are known issues with the Cadillac Optiq?
The Cadillac Optiq is a recently launched electric crossover. As with many new model introductions, early production vehicles may exhibit software, electrical, or powertrain issues requiring dealer attention. A vehicle that fails to start entirely and requires an extended shop stay on a nearly new model may qualify as a lemon under applicable state law.
Does Florida lemon law cover leased vehicles?
Yes. Florida's Lemon Law applies to both purchased and leased new motor vehicles. Consumers who lease a defective new vehicle have the same right to seek a buyback or replacement as those who purchase outright.
Can I file a lemon law claim after just one repair visit?
Depending on the state, yes, especially when the vehicle has been out of service for an extended period. Florida lemon law provides protection when a vehicle is out of service for 30 or more cumulative days, even after a single repair attempt, if the defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety.
How does Easy Lemon handle Cadillac lemon law claims?
Easy Lemon has resolved numerous claims against General Motors and Cadillac. Our attorneys handle the entire process at no cost to you†. If your claim is successful, the manufacturer pays all legal fees under most state lemon law statutes, including Florida's.
Cadillac Owner?

Your Cadillac May Have a Lemon Law Claim Too

If your Cadillac keeps going back to the shop for the same problem, you may qualify under your state's lemon law, the manufacturer pays our fees, not you. We handle Cadillac cases like this one regularly.
