I’m extremely disappointed with how this dealership
handled the sale of my new Cadillac Vistiq and, specifically, the third-row seat recall.
At the time I purchased the vehicle, the power third-row
handled the sale of my new Cadillac Vistiq and, specifically, the third-row seat recall.
At the time I purchased the vehicle, the power third-row seats were already disabled because of the recall. I specifically asked about this before buying the car. I was told that the fix would likely take about a month and was also told that the dealership had already fixed some customers’ seats.
Based on that information, I accepted the temporary inconvenience and purchased the vehicle.
I have now spoken directly with Cadillac EV Customer Assistance and learned that there is currently NO permanent remedy available for this recall. Cadillac explained that the existing recall action was simply to disable the seats, and owners will be notified if and when a permanent remedy is released.
I then called the dealership’s service department. Initially I was given another vague explanation, but after I questioned it and the service advisor actually reviewed the recall information, he confirmed that there is no fix available.
So my issue is not simply that the vehicle has a recall. Recalls happen. My issue is that I purchased this vehicle after being given very specific information about the recall status that does not appear to have been accurate. I was told a fix was expected in approximately a month and that other customers had already had their seats repaired, when Cadillac corporate is now telling me that no permanent repair has been released at all.
I have left messages for both my salesperson and the sales manager and am waiting for an explanation.
For a luxury vehicle purchase, I expected much better transparency and communication. I should not have had to call Cadillac corporate myself and challenge the dealership’s explanations just to get a straightforward answer about a known issue that existed before I bought the vehicle.

We completely understand why you’re upset, and we share that frustration with you.
We do want to clarify one important point. There was never any intention to mislead you about the third row recall. Before answering your question, your salesperson actually checked with someone in our service department and was given information that turned out to be incorrect. Unfortunately, that led to you being given an expectation about a repair that Cadillac has not yet made available.
We understand that doesn’t change your experience, and we take responsibility for the fact that you were given inaccurate information. We would never intentionally misrepresent a recall or the status of a vehicle just to make a sale.
We’re disappointed that we didn’t give you the clear and accurate answer you deserved from the beginning. We’re also taking your feedback seriously and making sure our team is aligned on the latest recall information so this doesn’t happen again. We hope we can earn back your confidence and show you that this was not representative of how we want our customers to be treated.

I appreciate the acknowledgment that I was given inaccurate information and that the dealership is taking responsibility for it.
I do want to respond to the clarification, though, because from a customer’s perspective, the distinction between the salesperson and the service department does not change the issue. Both represent Cadillac of Norwood.
I appreciate that there may not have been an intention to mislead me, but my concern has never really been about proving someone’s intent. My concern is that inaccurate information originating within the dealership was presented to me as fact during a significant purchase, and then continued after the sale.
I also find it disappointing that, despite this public response, no one from Cadillac of Norwood has actually returned my phone calls or responded to my emails directly. If the dealership truly wants to take responsibility and earn back my confidence, I would expect someone in management to contact me rather than only responding publicly to a review.
I had a great experience with all the the workers or team
members. I met at the cadillac car dealership. they helped me and were very professional.
