Ohio lemon law only applies for the first 12 months. This one is outside that. I suspect that will be the key part of whatever argument Cadillac makes (which doesn't have a whole lot else to it near as I can tell).
BTW - @jmonroe - I wish I could say I made up the "Right to Cure" phrase, but it is actually written into the statute. Someone had a sense of humor when they wrote it.

Wow! And here I thought California's 18 months lemon law was too short. 12 months is ridiculously short. Some cars don't become a lemon until after a couple years, but I guess the lemon law only applies as defined by that particular State's Lemon Law.

Boys, keep a good thought for me today - it's colonoscopy prep day. Only allowable intake is stuff like broth, Gatorade, Popsicles, Jello, and water. Adding to the fun are numerous doses of laxative. To keep this on topic, you can be sure I will not be venturing out in my Accord any at all today.

Please, don't think for a second, that I was insinuating that you "made up" those phrases. Only some state/township type of lawyers could do something like that. And, I doubt that they had a "sense of humor". More than likely they just didn't want to use the word "DELAY".

@thebean - I know all about obstinate doctors. The one who did my heart surgery still wires the sternum back together. Other doctors use some kind of hi-tech adhesive. In my case the wires broke leading to them stabbing me internally (what fun) as well as the sternum not knitting back together. The only option was another surgery and by the time they got around to deciding that, it had healed enough that I decided to pass on it. Years earlier I had an endocrinologist who was using me as a guinea pig in some sort of clinical trial about cholesterol levels. He prescribed me some sort of stuff that came in little pouches that I had to mix with orange juice and drink twice a day. It was like you mixed a tablespoon or two of beach sand into the juice, very gritty. Worse yet it seemed to have no effect on my cholesterol. But it certainly had some interesting side effects each morning!

And when people tell you that the prep is really the worst part, believe them even though you may be skeptical. I've been through two of those. The most important part is having a firm plan in place with the person driving you home on which drive thru to hit within minutes of leaving the parking lot. You are going to be starving. Trust me on that part. Good luck!

I've been through these before, so I know about the starving part. I'm pretty much there right now. @28firefighter, exactly - golytely is terrible.
Had colonoscopy in January. Drank the two gallons of stuff in two groups of doses. Over learned to eat liquid and softer diet two days in advance. Done this many times for surgeries and colonoscopies. I liked my doctor for the previous colo: he put salsa music on the cd player and said he would be dancing during the procedure.
28 - I know someone in the Seattle area that had a roof issue on a relatively new home that leaked. It turned out the builder didn't put flashing underneath it where a corner in the roof met. Hopefully they will resolve your problem. That makes a mess and can lead to mold issues, so make sure they take care of any insulation, wallboard, etc. that may have gotten wet, even in the attic or a wall.

Unfortunately, the lawyer fee (if he can even find one willing to take the case) will suck up a big chunk of any victory money. The legal system is stacked against the little guy in situations like this.

That is what I was told by my lawyer BIL when I talked to him about the refused warranty on the '05 XG 350's blown engine.
He said he could give me the name of a firm that had a good reputation with going up against car dealerships when people had good supporting documentation like he said I did. He had almost no doubt that they would take my case and win but it would cost me more than the 3 grand that I lost over selling the car "as is" compared to with a working engine. When I asked him about suing for attorney fees too, I was told that was not an almost guarantee win situation and if I wanted to go that route I better have even deeper pockets and it could take years to settle out. Again, with no assurance of winning. All the while paying for counter motions that would have to filed due to the dealers attorneys filing their motions.
In the end he discouraged me so that is when I decided to go into the "jmonroe vengeance mode".
What little I know about the car biz, I know enough that a handful of lost sales that my dealer lost, and knew he lost because of my vengeance, cost him more than 3 grand. Now, that did not put 3 grand back in my pocket but at least I got some satisfaction about it.

Well Driver, I have been trying to find an E400 sedan on the Mercedes website(USA/CA) or local dealer(USA).

The E400 only comes in the coupe and convertible. No E400 sedans are built for US. They just came out withe the E43, an AMG version in a sedan - nicely equipped - 6 cylinder twin turbo 394 hp - $81,000+ MSRP. Only a 4 cylinder in the E300 sedan.
IMHO, Mercedes made a huge mistake eliminating the 6 cylinder version of the E Class for US consumption.

We have what is called a cold roof - it is completely flat over the entire house, has no attic and has no vents. Luckily for us the leak is relatively contained, for now.
Our roofs are flat, torch-down roofs. After an inspection it was revealed that: (1) We have no cant stripping at all (2) None of the metal seams are sealed in the roof caps (3) The torch-down is installed at a 90 degree angle (instead of a 2-45 degree angle) because there was no cant stripping (4) There was no vapor barrier or membrane installed on top of or underneath the plywood, but rather the torch-down was torched straight to the plywood (5) The torch-down material is actually cracking because it was over-torched. (6) Roofing material has almost completely worn away at the scuppers because of the 90 degree angle - this was the source of our leak.
Basically, its a miracle we have only had one small leak in 3 years.

Explorer, we've been away all day with friends...went to Myakka Park to see the alligators...saw hundreds.
The 6 cylinder E400 with 329 ho is only offered in Canada this year. It will look like an E300 with the 4 cylinder engine. My guess is they couldn't make enough E400s this year to fill the demand in the US, so it will probably be offered in 2018....and will probably be the exact same car. You can see it if you use the Canadian MB site

Mike, like I said to explorer, they had trouble making enough of these for the Canadian market which is about 10% of the US market. I think they will start making them now, and they will be available in the US for 2018.
I appreciate most everyone's support in this frustrating Caddy situation. I'm going to take a breather from here for a bit. I do enjoy talking cars, deals, house shopping, TSA, even appliances. But, sometimes it just gets too "snarky"!

Try not to get upset at responses. Sometimes written posts that seem snarky are just clumsy attempts to be clever or funny. (Lord don't I know) we're all pulling for you here. I hope you know that.
That is a good explanation of why I didn't see any snarkism in the post/s that irritated @graphicguy.

I believe IIRC, GG may have reported a related problem in the first year. I think a major fault should have a 3 year time limit for reporting......or at least it should be the same as the warranty period. It is ridiculous to put a one year limit for a major fault to appear....a lot of cars can last for 1 year 12k miles and then big problems develop shortly after that. This can be a $30, $40, $50k or more item, it should last with no real problems for 5 or 6 years minimum.
Another thing is the dealer will patch up the problem and the car will run OK for 1 year....then no one cares or will do anything.
OK help me understand this. I'm hearing radio ads promoting a company called GetAround which is a peer to peer ride share company.
"GetAround is an online car sharing or peer-to-peer carsharing service that allows drivers to rent cars from private car owners, and owners to rent out their cars for payment.[1] Owners set their rental prices and earn a 60% commission from their rental revenue.[2]"
So some stranger gets to beat on your car like a rental while you're at work? Why would anyone want to do that?
I get Uber, it's like a taxi but this ride share service sounds like lending your car to your no good BIL to abuse.

I know we are in the throes of roofing and Cadillacs, but I have a furniture related question and can't think of a better place to ask.
We had La-Z-Boy sofas in our family room that lasted quite a while. The one I usually sit on and nap on (and occasionally sleep on all night) wore quite a bit after, maybe, 5 or 6 years. I really don't remember how long we had them. The other one was still in pretty good shape.
We replaced them 3 weeks ago with La-Z-Boy again since we liked the style and the previous ones lasted fairly well. We also had to wait about 2 months to get them because we wanted a tough fabric that would wear so they had to be specially made. We told the sales guy that they would be in our family room and what kind of use they would get.
The fabric on one of them has started to become "fuzzy" for lack of better words. I asked at the store where we bought them and they said it is normal and to use a sweater shaver to remove what they referred to as "pilling". My wife shaved them today and it helped, but did not cure the problem.
Anyone else have similar problems or words of wisdom? My wife is fit to be tied and wants to return them. I can't imagine either the store or La-Z-Boy agreeing to that.
I guess, in essence, this is a potential buy back, but I suspect a car buyer has more rights.
you can return to lazy boy. I did not long ago. we got a couch and 2 chairs. Couch and 1 chair are micro leather (micro suede? something that really holds up, and softer than leather). For some reason, I picked out a red fabric to get a different style recliner. Got it into the house, and it looked terrible. So, went in, picked out a matching micro fabric one for me, and they took back the red one. For a modest fee of course (I forget how much. maybe $0 or $100).
In your case, I would argue that it was defective material and they should replace it. But good luck with that.

I had an upper endoscopy (via the mouth) yesterday which is a walk in the park compared with a colonoscopy (which is not via the mouth). Take heart though, after the prep, the rest is easy. Good news, no ulcer.

Send it back! Should not pill - something is definitely wrong with the fabric.
In my world it's called "value engineering." The original concept was that putting "features" into a product that the customer doesn't care about is wasted money, and no one will notice if they're removed. The reality is that most customers won't notice, but some will.
Anyway, in the high-dollar aerospace situation, engineers often spend a fortune making everything "perfect" when almost no one notices and the spec didn't require it in the first place.

He had almost no doubt that they would take my case and win but it would cost me more than the 3 grand that I lost over selling the car "as is" compared to with a working engine. When I asked him about suing for attorney fees too, I was told that was not an almost guarantee win situation and if I wanted to go that route I better have even deeper pockets and it could take years to settle out. Again, with no assurance of winning. All the while paying for counter motions that would have to filed due to the dealers attorneys filing their motions.
In the end he discouraged me so that is when I decided to go into the "jmonroe vengeance mode".
What little I know about the car biz, I know enough that a handful of lost sales that my dealer lost, and knew he lost because of my vengeance, cost him more than 3 grand. Now, that did not put 3 grand back in my pocket but at least I got some satisfaction about it.

Couldn't find anything, but did a search inventory with a postal code and a whole bunch showed up.
I guess you are good to go with delivery. Maybe you can take a picture and post it. Just don't wear that jailbird shirt.
IMHO, Mercedes made a huge mistake eliminating the 6 cylinder version of the E Class for US consumption.

Our roofs are flat, torch-down roofs. After an inspection it was revealed that:
(1) We have no cant stripping at all
(2) None of the metal seams are sealed in the roof caps
(3) The torch-down is installed at a 90 degree angle (instead of a 2-45 degree angle) because there was no cant stripping
(4) There was no vapor barrier or membrane installed on top of or underneath the plywood, but rather the torch-down was torched straight to the plywood
(5) The torch-down material is actually cracking because it was over-torched.
(6) Roofing material has almost completely worn away at the scuppers because of the 90 degree angle - this was the source of our leak.
Basically, its a miracle we have only had one small leak in 3 years.

Not always. That is another type of suit.

Dollars and sense?
I'd pay a lawyer the price of a traffic citation if they'd guarantee the racketeers would get nothing.
The 6 cylinder E400 with 329 ho is only offered in Canada this year. It will look like an E300 with the 4 cylinder engine. My guess is they couldn't make enough E400s this year to fill the demand in the US, so it will probably be offered in 2018....and will probably be the exact same car. You can see it if you use the Canadian MB site

Mike, like I said to explorer, they had trouble making enough of these for the Canadian market which is about 10% of the US market. I think they will start making them now, and they will be available in the US for 2018.

You know, that's an interesting point. Is a defect that doesn't manifest itself on a timely basis considered a defect.

Another thing is the dealer will patch up the problem and the car will run OK for 1 year....then no one cares or will do anything.

"GetAround is an online car sharing or peer-to-peer carsharing service that allows drivers to rent cars from private car owners, and owners to rent out their cars for payment.[1] Owners set their rental prices and earn a 60% commission from their rental revenue.[2]"
So some stranger gets to beat on your car like a rental while you're at work? Why would anyone want to do that?
I get Uber, it's like a taxi but this ride share service sounds like lending your car to your no good BIL to abuse.

We had La-Z-Boy sofas in our family room that lasted quite a while. The one I usually sit on and nap on (and occasionally sleep on all night) wore quite a bit after, maybe, 5 or 6 years. I really don't remember how long we had them. The other one was still in pretty good shape.
We replaced them 3 weeks ago with La-Z-Boy again since we liked the style and the previous ones lasted fairly well. We also had to wait about 2 months to get them because we wanted a tough fabric that would wear so they had to be specially made. We told the sales guy that they would be in our family room and what kind of use they would get.
The fabric on one of them has started to become "fuzzy" for lack of better words. I asked at the store where we bought them and they said it is normal and to use a sweater shaver to remove what they referred to as "pilling". My wife shaved them today and it helped, but did not cure the problem.
Anyone else have similar problems or words of wisdom? My wife is fit to be tied and wants to return them. I can't imagine either the store or La-Z-Boy agreeing to that.
I guess, in essence, this is a potential buy back, but I suspect a car buyer has more rights.

In your case, I would argue that it was defective material and they should replace it. But good luck with that.

Anyway, in the high-dollar aerospace situation, engineers often spend a fortune making everything "perfect" when almost no one notices and the spec didn't require it in the first place.
