Consumer Description

LOWER ENGINE OIL LEAK. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM DATING BACK A NUMBER OF YEARS AND CADILLAC HAS NOT RECTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I AM FORCED TO INSTALL A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS SO COSTLY TO RESOLVE. APPROXIMATELY $4,500. IS THERE ANY CLASS ACTION AGAINST CADILLAC OR IS THERE ANY RELIEF AVAILABLE.
