My engine has low oil pressure which causes it to stop running.

-Traction Control/Stabilitrak light comes on and the major thing is the Camshaft and bearings that cause the LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF ENGINE WARNING LIGHT.. - When Low oil pressure shuts off the engine light comes on it will cause your vehicle to stall and shut off wherever you at.. -Independent service center - No just the independent service center worker - Yes! Start out with the Traction Control/Stabilitrak light and then the Low OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF ENGINE WARNING LIGHT..January of 2022.

https://www.cadillacforums.com/threads/2007-escalade-stalling-when-rolling-to-a-stop.278037/ It is a well known issue (for those that pull trailers) that 2007-2008 Escalades will stall when slowing down on the highway if the vehicle is pulling a trailer. Everytime I drive on the highway and come to a roll the engine stalls. I have been stuck on the middle lane of the highway, in the middle of intersections, and many other places that are less than ideal. It is a crankshaft position sensor from what I can tell. When the car is under a load, the sensor is positioned at an extreme angle and when the rpms get low the rpms fluctuates and it stalls. The extreme angle is an optimization that cadillac made in an effort to get better fuel economy. It appears that the only way to fix the issue is to get a tune that prevents the sensor from reaching that extreme angle. The dealer pretends to know nothing, yet I find many other people who experience the issue so it would be in their database as a known issue. There are no warnings lights that comes on. The car will just shut down. The only way to prevent the car stalling is to drop to neutral and rev the engine while coming to a stop. Keep reving and when the light goes green drop it to Drive. Its unacceptable and a risk not only to myself but others on the road. I will file a defect petition with a lawyer so this is paid attention to . Please help.

My family and I were leaving home to on vacation last year, when the vehicle suddenly cut off in traffic and refused to start. After getting the vehicle to my home which was 50 miles away. I just told the driver to park it on the street until I got back home, which was seven days later. After arriving back home, vehicle was towed to shop, at which time, NO One could find anything wrong with my 2007 Escalade. So, after driving it for several minutes, the vehicle cut-off again and would not start, soc I phoned my wife, who came with my Expediton and towed me home. After several attempts to start the vehicle, I was informed by a passersby that he had the same problem, that his fuel pump had went out. Well, guess what, it was the fuel pump. So, why is it that certified mechanics at a Cadillac Dearlership couldn't diagnose this problem. It's unfuckinbeliveable that any Dearlership, Pepboys or any other Auto Repair Shop wouldn't explore all options before saying " We can't find nothing wrong" totally inexcusable..

Camshaft and bearings break affects oil pressure with no indication until it is to late and you have to replace the motor

First it started out with the Low Oil Pressure stop engine light had it check out by an independent service center. I was told what the problem maybe, purchase several parts for the SUV but that didn't solve the problem within 72hrs the low oil pressure light stop engine was back on and then this vehicle started cutting off and don't want to crank back again until several hours later. Had a second opinion from a different service center but that didn't work continue to do the same. - By this SUV cutting off in traffic and not cranking back -Was told my mechanic from a service center that it could be the lifter in side the engine. -No -Low oil pressure stop engine warning messages, Check engine light.

The airbag system failed and was reported the first time in 2020 and it was available for inspection upon request by owner but Cadillac said it wasn't a recall and refused to comply. My safety and the other passenger was put at risk because Cadillac didn't inspect the the fail system upon the owner's upon the owner's first request that caused serious injuries and the vehicle has been in another incident. The airbag system has not been fixed, body, and light damages to be reproducted or confirmes by a dealer or independent service center for my case 9-7027849113.

2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE APPARENTLY WAS BUILT WITH SEVERE CAMSHAFT AND BEARING ISSUE. 1ST. STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND WARNING. STRAIGHT AND LEVEL DRIVING ON CLEAR DRY DAY. THIS IS WHEN ENGINE WAS RUNNING ON HIGHWAY AND ENGINE FULLY AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THIS FORCED TRANSMISSION/ENGINE INTO LIMP MODE. MCCADDON DEALERSHIP INSTALLED COMPLETE TRANSMISSION COST OVER $8,000---- ISSUE CAME BACK. THEN THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP. THEN THEY REPLACED OIL PUMP WHICH SEEMED TO FIX ISSUE, COST $2084.04. NOW AT 225,000 MILES OIL PRESSURE LOW, STOP ENGINE LIGHT, AND WARNING GONG. NO OIL LEAKS, OIL LEVELS ALWAYS WATCHED AND MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR CHANGES. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP THINKING THEY WOULD REPLACE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. INSTEAD THEY CHARGED 130.00 TO DIAGNOSE THAT ENGINE WAS LOSING PRESSURE. THEIR SOLUTION, REPLACE ENGINE AT COST OF $10,000. NOW ONLINE SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY CAUSED BY BAD CAMSHAFTS AND BEARINGS. NOT SURE WHAT I WILL DO, BUT DOUBT I WILL PAY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE ENGINE AT COST OF $10,K. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO DEFECTIVE PART AND RECALL. SOME WOULD SAY WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM CAR WITH OVER 200K MILES? I EXPECT IT TO BE DIAGNOSED CORRECTLY, ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED AND FIXED FIRST TIME. OR AT LEAST 2ND TIME, OR 3RD TIME. OTHER BILLS ON THIS CAR FOR VARIOUS THINGS FROM MANIFOLD BOLTS $1220 WHICH INCLUDED A POWER STEERING HOSE, AXLE WHEEL BEARING $704, BALL JOINTS, $2015,ENGINE SEALS$831.77.

I OWN A RENTAL COMPANY AND I'M NOT ABLE TO RENT THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL FOR THE PAST YEAR, AND GM WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE PERFORMED.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SINCE 05/27/2016 IT IS NOW 05/29/2019 AND HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED. GM NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY!

IN ALL VIDEOS I CHECKED FOR ISSUES WITH THE HEATED AND COOLED SEATS I SAW THAT ONE OF THE CONNECTORS TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD WE'RE STARTING TO MELT THE CONNECTOR. UPON REMOVING MINE, THE SAME ISSUE IS SHOWN AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL IF IT CONTINUES TO MELT AND CATCH FIRE.

FAULTY BEARINGS ON CAMSHAFT FAILING CAUSING INADEQUATE OIL PRESSURE RESULTING IN "LIMP MODE", SUBSEQUENTLY LEADING TO ENGINE FAILURE AND ILLUMINATION OF STABILITRAK, ABS AND PARKING ASSIST ICONS. "LIMP MODE" CUTS ENGINE OFF AND DRIVER LOSES ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, 1 FATALITY AND 3 INJURIES HAVE RESULTED BECAUSE OF THIS.

TAKATA RECALL SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT. I DAD CHANGED FRONT 2 SENSORS AND STILL HAS SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON.

TAKATA RECALL---2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE, STABILITY LIGHT CONTROL COMES ON AND OFF. ALSO TRIGGERS MY ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON AS WELL. I HAVE REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN, CAM SHAFT, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, NEW SHOCKS, NEW COMPRESSOR, AND I KEEP THE OIL CHANGED. EVEN THE CADILLAC DEALER HAS WENT THRU AND THRU THIS VEHICLE REPLACING ALL THIS STUFF AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER, TO STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND THEY EVEN SAID THEY HAVE NO CLUE OF WHY IT KEEPS DOING THIS. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CADILLAC AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THESE ISSUES NOT ON THE OWNERS POCKET. ON GM'S POCKET. THIS VEHICLE IS ENOUGH ALONE WITHOUT HAVING TO CONTINUE SINKING MONEY AFTER MONEY IT IS TO JUST TRY AND FIX THIS ISSUE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN CADILLAC'S AND THIS IS MY 2 ONE, BUT PROBABLY MY LAST ONE BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO FORK OUT 80,000 FOR A NEW ONE, TO CONTINUE FORKING OUT WITH ISSUES. THESE ISSUES SEVERELY NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE IT TAKES PEOPLES LIVES. SOON AS THESE LIGHTS COME ON, AND YOU GIVE IT GAS, IF FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT IN THE ROAD. JERKS YOU EVERYWHERE. THIS IS A DAILY PROBLEM, NOT JUST A ONE TIME ISSUE.

I AM A [XXX] DRIVER WITH 4 JUVENILE CHILDREN AND USE THE CADILLAC PRIMARILY FOR FAMILY TRIPS AS I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. SOME OF THE REVIEWS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ENGINE SAY THAT THE ENGINE IS DESIGNED FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY. AND EVEN THOUGH THE MILES THAT ARE CURRENTLY GETTING HIGH, I DON'T THINK THAT THIS ENGINE HAS ACHIEVED IT. THE WARNING LIGHTS THAT I HAVE LISTED HAVE ONLY CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

IN MOTION, STOPPED ,WAS ON HILL GOING UP A LANE TO HOME. CODE FOR THROTTLE POSITION CONTROL MODULE APPEARED!

VEHICLE STALLED OUT IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC IN BOTH MARYLAND, AND INDIANA WHILE I WAS ON VACATION. THIS OCCURRED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN BOTH OCCASIONS THAT WAS PACKED WITH TRAFFIC.THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN HARMFUL TO BOTH ME AND MY FAMILY. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 2 OCCASIONS ,JULY 16TH 2016 AND JULY 22ND 2016.DEALERSHIP AT FIRST COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AS WAS THE CASE WITH THE FIRST CADILLAC DEALERSHIP IN BETHESDA MARYLAND. THE 2ND DEALERSHIP TOOK A WEEK TO CREATE, IDENTIFY, AND HOPEFULLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. REPLACING FUEL PUMP ENDED UP BEING THE CALL. 1005.00 DOLLARS LATER I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS INDEED IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY WARNINGS IT JUST STALLED OUT.

P0011 ENGINE CODE ONCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE TRUCK RIDES HORRIBLE. GM HAS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS A DESIGN FLAW LUBRICATING THE CAM SHAFT. I CHANGE THE OIL ONCE A MONTH. ITS NOT ENOUGH.. GM KNOWS THIS PROBLEM EXIST AND COVERS IT UP.. I HOPE MORE ESCALADE OWNERS COME FORWARD AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. FORCING OWNERS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CLEAR THE CODE ISN'T FAIR.....

I HAVE CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING MY STEERING WHEEL SMOKING AND BURNING A HOLE IN THE LEATHER WHEN I USE THE HEATED STEERING WHEEL FEATURE. THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT IT IS THE RESULT OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR WHICH I FIND ABSURD. THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE STATED TO ME THAT IN THE 10 YEARS HE'S BEEN WORKING ON GM CARS, HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN. ALSO, THE DEALER CHARGED ME TO REPLACE ALL FOUR INTERNAL DOOR HANDLES AFTER THE METAL DEGRADED AND STARTED CUTTING OUR HANDS. APPARENTLY, OTHER ESCALADES WERE COVERED UNDER A RECALL BUT NOT MY VIN. I THINK BOTH SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM GIVEN THE SERIOUS NATURE OF BOTH DEFECTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WOULD BE COMPLETELY DRAINED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS COMPLETELY MELTED, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. AS A RESULT, THE BATTERY, CIRCUIT BREAKER, AND WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

CHECK ENGINE , SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, STABLILINK AND LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. DEALER HAS HAD THE TRUCK TRYING TO CORRECT (OR CHASE)THE PROBLEM. THEY STILL ARE COMING ON. DEALER SAYS IT MAYBE THE MOTOR

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON BOTH ENDS AND THE STABILITY CONTROL HAS GONE OUT TWICE.

ESCALADE HAVING SAME ISSUES AS EVERYONE ELSE. OIL PRESSURE DUE TO POOR BUILD AND CUT BACKS ON GENERAL MOTORS BEHALF. A UNIT WITH A PRICE UP WORDS OF $70-$80K SHOULD NOT HAVE THE ISSUES. WE AS THE CUSTOMERS AND THE VICTIMS SHOULD NOT PAY THE PRICE AND OUR OWN LIVES (FAMILIES LIVES) FOR A COMPANIES SELFISHNESS. PASSENGER SEAT CONTROL MODULE BURNT DUE TO YET ANOTHER FAULTY GM PRODUCT. THEY SEAM TO NOT CARE AND WANT TO FIX THE ISSUES THAT CAN AGAIN LEAD TO HARM TO ANYONE IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE BUT IT HAS BEEN A UTTER DISGRACE OF WHAT KIND OF PRODUCTS WE HAVE BEEN SOLD. TO THIS DAY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE COMPANY RECALLS PARTS THAT WOULD COST THEM NICKELS AND DIMES AND NOT THE MAJOR ITEMS THAT CAN LEAD TO DISASTERS LIKE DEATH. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD THEY REPLACED MY DE OTHERS DASH...(DASH). SO REPLACE A PLASTIC DASH THAT HAS NO HARM WHAT SO EVER AND OH DON'T MINED IF YOU TRUCK CATCHES ON FIRE DO TO FAULTY MODULES. SHAME HOW GM HAS LET A COMPANY LIKE TOYOTA WHO ACTUALLY LISTENS TO THE COSTUMES SEEM LIKE A MORE PATRIOTIC COMPANY AND KEEPS THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE ON THE ROADS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, NOW IT'S TIME FOR ACTION. I STILL DRIVE THE TRUCK EVERYDAY AND PRAY I DON'T DIE EVERY TIME . *TR

CRACK ON FRONT DASH APPEARED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL. TODAY I NOW HAVE THREE CRACKS AND AN ESTIMATE OF ALMOST $400 TO REPLACE THE PART. IN A QUICK LOOK ONLINE THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON. I KNOW THERE IS A PUSH TO HAVE GM REPLACE THIS PART AT THEIR EXPENSE AS IT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE. SOMETHING I AGREE WITH AND AM IN FAVOR OF. *TR

DRIVER STOPPED VEHICLE PREPARING TO PARK, PLACED IT IN "PARK" AND PROCEEDED TO TURN IGNITION INTO "OFF" POSITION. THE KEY WAS FIRMLY LOCKED IN THE "RUN" POSITION AND WOULD NOT TURN TO "OFF" OR ANY OTHER POSITION. AFTER TRYING TO TURN KEY FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, DRIVER CALLED GM/SEWELL - CADILLAC SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR INSTRUCTION TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY SOLUTIONS THAT WORKED OVER THE PHONE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHUT OFF AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AFTER THE INITIAL INCIDENT THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER INCIDENTS INCLUDING KEY HARD TO TURN IN IGNITION, NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF POWER LOSS THROUGHOUT SYSTEMS IN VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN THE SEWELL CADILLAC MANY TIMES FOR THESE SAFETY ISSUES. A NUMBER OF CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO GM ALSO ABOUT THE VEHICLE AND ITS DEFECTIVE NATURE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE IGNITION RECALLED VEHICLES.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ON HIGHWAY WITH NO ISSUES CAR WILL STALL OUT APPROACHING LIGHTS,STOP SIGNS OR SLOWING DOWN OR LETTING OFF GAS PEDAL.HAS HAPPENED 8-9 TIMES IN LAST WEEK. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR IDLING ISSUES THAT WOULD WARN US OF THE ISSUE. CHANGED BATTERY,CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ,CLEANED THROTTLE BODY, FUEL FILTER ,AND CHANGED OIL. NO CODES SHOW UP ON MECHANICS DIAGNOSTIC METER.I HAVE TAKEN TO ONLINE CADILLAC FORUMS AND LEARNED THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM.VERY UNSETTLING WITH WIFE AND 4 CHILDREN IN VEHICLE. *TR

HEATED SEATS NOT WORKING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND OUT THAT ESCALADE'S ARE PRONE TO MELTED WIRE CONNECTIONS ON THE CCSM UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. MINE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED BY MANY OTHER ESCALADE OWNER'S. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? THIS COULD POSE A VERY SERIOUS INTERIOR FIRE RISK. *TR

DRIVING ON THE I10, SEMIS ALL AROUND, DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH. MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND IN THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE I HIT A WALL. ALL POWER WENT OUT, LOST ALL SPEED, WHEN THE POWER FLICKERED BACK ON, LIGHTS ONLY NO SPEED, ALL THE DASHBOARD WAS LITE UP, EVERYTHING WAS MAKING A SOUND, THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING FROM D -DRIVE TO P-PARK, THE RPM WERE MAXED- YET NO SPEED. AT 51K I NOTICED THE VEHICLE SHIFTING HARD AND TOOK IT IN TO A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER, IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING, JUST TWO DAYS AGO 2-7-15, IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN IN DANGER OF LOOSING MY LIFE, AM NOT EXAGGERATING. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN TOUCHED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL OF ITS SERVICES AND REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR DRIVING. I HAVE A BOOK OF ALL MY SERVICE RECORD DOCUMENTING THE SAME ISSUE OVER, AND OVER...........................................AGAIN. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND CADILLAC JUST SITS BACK, PROBABLY WAITING FOR LOSS OF LIVES. *TR

DASH CRACK ON DRIVERSIDE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, WHEN MY DASH WARNING SIGN BEGAN TO READ "LOW OIL PRESSURE- SHUT OFF ENGINE" AND BEGAN BEEPING INCESSANTLY. AS I WAS ON A BRIDGE/EXPRESSWAY, I WAS NOT IN A POSITION WHERE I COULD SAFELY STOP THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND WAS STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN POWER. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE LOOSE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND WAS QUOTED $300+ FOR THE REPAIR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND WAS SURPRISED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR NUMEROUS OWNERS. SO I CONTACTED CADILLAC, AND WAS INITIALLY TOLD IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AT NO COST TO ME. AFTER TAKING OFF WORK, WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS NOT TRUE, WHEN ACTUALITY THE INTERIOR HANDLES ARE THE ACTUAL HANDLES UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE CHROME PEALING. AT THIS POINT THE CHROME ON THE INTERIOR HANDLES WERE NOT A CONCERN OF MINE. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH GM/CADILLAC AND MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT HANDLE AND DID THE REPAIR MYSELF. ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE SEPARATED FROM THE BODY, I CONTACT CADILLAC TO MAKE A COMPLAINT, I DO GET A CALL BACK, THE REP ASK ME WHAT DO I WANT THEM TO DO, I SAY " IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THEY KNOWING THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE THAT THEY PAY FOR THE REPAIRS", I WAS TOLD " THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND DOESN'T FIT THE CATEGORY OF HAVING A RECALL ISSUED", I STATED WELL IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, AND SOMEONE NEEDED TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE, IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? I WAS BASICALLY TOLD NO. AGAIN THEY ASK WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO? I SAID WELL, THIS IS MY SECOND HANDLE THAT HAS BROKEN, AT LEAST PAY SOME PORTION OF IT, I WAS TOLD THAT IS LEFT UP TO THE DEALER TO DECIDE. WHEN MY FIRST HANDLE BROKE, I TRIED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE DEALER TO BRING THE COST DOWN, WITH NO SUCCESS. SO I LET THE REP., KNOW JUST ANNOTATE THIS AS A COMPLAINT. I AGAIN WENT ON THE INTERNET AND PURCHASED A HANDLE AND DID THE REPAIR MYSELF. THE HANDLES CAN BE FOUND FOR LESS THAN $50 (WITH A WARRANTY) AND TAKE ABOUT 30 MIN. TO INSTALL. MY INTERIOR HANDLE WERE NEVER REPLACED, GO FIGURE, NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

HEATED STEERING WHEEL BURNED A WHOLE THROUGH LEATHER AND CAUSED A BURN ON MY FINGER.

THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE PULLED OUT FROM THE DOOR THREE TIMES. WHEN YOU GO TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE DOOR HANDLE PULLS OUT FROM THE DOOR FRAME. I JUST HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AT A COST OF $232.72. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU WERE IN A CRASH AND HAD TO HAVE SOME ONE OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE TO REMOVE YOU OR YOUR FAMILY. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

WE WERE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AFTER THE SUV WAS PARKED FOR OVER AN HOUR. WHEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. SMOKE STARTED POURING IN SIDE THE CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE FROM UNDER THE DASH BOARD. WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED 911. OPENED THE HOOD AND 3FT FLAMES SHOT OUT, THE ALARM WENT OFF AS SMOKE AND FLAMES FILLED THE AIR. A LADY IN A HOME NEARBY RAN OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO ASSIST. FIRE AND POLICE CAME, REPORT WAS FILED. MY LUNGS BURNED FOR WEEKS AFTER AND I HAD A CHRONIC COUGH. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND IT TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT BUT GM REFUSED TO WORK WITH US ON COSTS. WE HAD TO PAY FULL PRICE OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB, GM, AND MANY OTHERS BUT GOT NO ASSISTANCE. I ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THIS SUV AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 100,000 MILES WHICH THE SHOP SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL BUT FOR A TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AT THIS LOW OF MILES BUT IN THESE TRANSMISSIONS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF FAILING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN DOING 65 AND LOCKED UP. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN ISSUES WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WHICH MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALSO REPORTED, DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WHICH GM REFUSED TO REPLACE. THE FILM OVER THE WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE WHICH CAUSED BLURRY VISION IN THE DRIVERS LINE OF VIEW. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. GM HAS NOT BACKED ANY OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS SUV. IT HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS FOR REPAIRS. *TR

I PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW AND TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS. OVER THE YEARS OF OWNING THE TRUCK, ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE FALLEN OFF THE OUTSIDE. ONE FELL OFF THE INSIDE. AND ANOTHER DOOR AFTER A REPAIR WOULDN'T OPEN AT ALL. I RECENTLY HAD MY TRUCK IN DUE TO THE LAST OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKING. THE SERVICE MANAGER PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I WAS OPENING THE DOOR WRONG, AND WASN'T I EVER INSERVICED ON HOW TO OPEN A DOOR WHEN I BOUGHT IT? REALLY? I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED AN INSERVICE, AND HOW IS THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT MY FAULT? THREE OF THE 4 DOORS WERE UNDER WARRANTY. BUT AFTER READING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE FORTH DOOR. *TR

A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED CAR FROM RANCHO MOTORS VICTORVILLE, CA I HAD INCIDENTS WHERE ALL ELECTRICAL FEATURES FROM VEHICLE WOULD SHUT DOWN, I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE KEPT IT FOR A MONTH AT TIMES AND THEIR RESOLUTION IS THAT THE BATTERY HASN'T WORKED BUT IT'S BEEN 7 TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, THE WORST PART IS AT ONE POINT VEHICLE STOP WORKING IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY AND MY FAMILY AND I WERE REALLY SCARED, PROBLEM CONTINUES I'M DONE AND TIRED OF THIS. I HAD PAID ALMOST $50,000 ON UNRELIABLE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM IS BECAUSE I'M HISPANIC DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE CARE OF ME. *TR

HEATED FRONT SEATS NOT WORKING. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS, IS THAT THE CONNECTOR THAT ATTACHES TO THE CLIMATE CONTROL SEAT MODULE (CCSM) (WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT), OVERHEATS TO THE POINT THAT THE CONNECTOR HAS MELTED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND CADILLAC SHOULD LOOK INTO FIXING IT. FROM ALL THE POSTS ON THIS SUBJECT IN THE CADILLAC OWNER'S FORUMS THERE ARE ALOT OF OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CONCERNS. *TR

MY VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE GAS NEEDLE BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH. WHEN THE NEEDLE BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH FROM FULL TO EMPTY THE ENGINE LIGHT IN THE DASH WILL COME ON AND MAY STAY ON FOR AWHILE BUT WILL THEN GO OFF. WHEN I PUT FUEL IN THE TANK THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF BUT ONCE I START DRIVING AGAIN IT COMES BACK ON AND THE NEEDLE BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH. NOT SURE WHERE THE PROBLEM IS BUT I KNOW MY BROTHER IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS SILVERADO. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVERS FRONT, REAR, AND PASSENGER REAR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED A 2007 ESCALADE AND HAVE HAD IT FOR JUST ABOUT 1 YEAR. SO FAR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD, HUBS, EVAP SENSOR, PURGE VALVE, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, TRANSMISSION, DEFECTIVE RIMS, PLUS THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEMS....BRAKES, ROTORS, BATTERY. ALL OF WHICH HAPPENED TO GO RIGHT AROUND 90,000 TO 100,000 MILES. I CONTACTED CADILLAC TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES AND COMPENSATE SOME COSTS AS THIS SUV HAS ALWAYS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED WITH THE BEST PRODUCTS AVAILABLE INCLUDING SYNTHETIC OILS. THEY REFUSED TO WORK WITH ME.... WELL TODAY THE ICING ON THE CAKE. MY GRANDFATHER PASSED AWAY THIS WEEK, WHILE MOVING HIS PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND HAVING A FULL TRUCK LOAD OF THEM THE TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE. SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR IN FROM THE DASH BY THE WINDSHIELD THE UNDER THE DASH. I OPENED THE HOOD AND FLAMES SHOT OUT BURNING MY HAND. THE POLICE & FD CAME. THANK GOD FOR THE FAMILY IN THE HOME NEAR BY WHO RAN OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. I HAD TO PAY FOR A TOW FROM MAINE TO NH. I WAS OUT OF STATE, THE DEALER IS CLOSED UNTIL MONDAY. FIND A VEHICLE TO USE TO GO TO NY WHERE THE FUNERAL SERVICE ARE BEING HELD. THIS VEHICLE IS UNDEPENDABLE, UNRELIABLE, JUNK THAT IS UNSAFE. NOT ONLY IS IT BECAUSE THIS ONE IS A LEMON BUT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BACK THE PRODUCT. GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE PUBLICS SAFETY. THEY DON'T CARE IF FOLKS GET INJURED OR KILLED. MANY OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD ARE SAFETY ISSUES BUT GM DOSE NOT FIND THEM TO BE. IF A TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP WHEN YOU ARE DOING 65 ON A HIGHWAY AND DROPS TO 20 I THINK THAT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE MECHANICS. IF YOUR WINDSHIELD IS DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE PLASTIC AND GLASS SEPARATING AND YOU CAN'T SEE TO DRIVE, THAT TOO IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOUR HUBS GO BAD YOUR WHEEL CAN COME OFF AT ANY SPEED...ANOTHER ISSUE. AND IF YOU ARE TRAPPED IN A BURNING CAR. I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT MAY BE AN ISSUE TOO. *TR

WE JUST WANTED TO ALERT YOU OF A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THAT OCCURRED WITH OUR 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV, ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 2013. I HAD JUST PICKED UP MY KIDS FROM SWIM PRACTICE AND WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE WHEELS AND HAD NO ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR... IT JUST FREELY SPUN AROUND AND AROUND. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE HITTING A TREE AND MY KIDS AND I WERE NOT INJURED, JUST VERY SHAKEN. HOWEVER, IT WAS AND STILL IS VERY PRESENT IN MY MIND WHAT THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN HAD WE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR GOING AT A FASTER SPEED. CADILLAC ROADSIDE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN GETTING THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD ALL MAINTENANCE DONE IN THE PAST. AFTER REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE REALLY NOT SURE WHAT WENT WRONG, AS THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. APPARENTLY THE WHOLE FRONT STEERING SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO COLLAPSE IN A HEAD ON COLLISION, BUT FOR SOME REASON IT COLLAPSED WITHOUT WARNING OR REASON. CONSEQUENTLY, DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL CONTINUOUSLY SPINNING, IT HAD RIPPED OUT ALL THE POWER CORDS TO THE RADIO, AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING, STABILITRAC, ETC. THE CAR WAS A DISASTER AND AT THAT POINT I HAD NO TRUST IN THE CAR TO EVER DRIVE IT AGAIN. I HAD ENJOYED MY VEHICLE UP TO THIS POINT, BUT THIS HAS MADE ME INCREDIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT PUTTING MY FAMILY IN ANOTHER CADILLAC VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER WIRE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE.

THE REAR SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS DO NOT RAISE TO THE STANDARD RECOMMENDED BY 49 CFR 571. THEY CAN BE LIFTED TO 26 INCHES, NOT 27 1/2 INCHES MIN. AS THE STANDARD RECOMMENDS WHICH RENDERS THEM NOT SAFE FOR FULL SIZE ADULTS. AS A RESULT, MANY PASSENGERS REFUSE TO SIT THERE, RENDERING MY "SUT" 5-SEATER TO BE A 2-SEATER VEHICLE. THE RESTRAINTS ARE ALSO NOT LOCKABLE. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS CONDITION FIXED. CADILLAC RECOGNIZES THAT ALL THEIR ESCALADE EXTS ARE THE SAME BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE NOT STANDARD AND NEED FIXING.

WHILE TRYING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE THE DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF IN OUR HANDS NOT ALLOWING US TO ENTER THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY STREET. I CONTACTED GM WHO HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE IT STATING THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND OWNERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS $300 REPAIR. *TR

CHROME PLATING ON INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAS PEELED RESULTING IN A RAZOR-BLADE LIKE EFFECT CAUSING INJURY TO HANDS WHEN USING DOOR HANDLES. SENIOR CITIZEN AGE 78 INJURED HAND WHILE USING DOOR. DESPITE THIS BEING A KNOWN DEFECT, GM REFUSES TO REPLACE THESE HANDLES AT THEIR COST AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THESE HANDLES WERE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF THE SAME DEFECT AND THE NEW ONES INSTALLED HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA10004, "IN JULY 2010, GM ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE POLICY (SCP 09239) ON THE BASE VEHICLES TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE TO 10 YEARS/100K MILES. RECENT DATA INDICATE THAT THE BASE POPULATION COMPLAINT AND INJURY REPORTING HAVE SUBSIDED SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCP CAMPAIGN. IN JUNE 2011, GM ADDED THE REMAINING INTERIM POPULATION (SEP-OCT 2006) TO THE SCP." CADILLAC HAS INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE, DESPITE HAVING THIS DEFECT, AND DESPITE BEING LISTED IN THE NHTSA REPORT, IS NOT A PART OF THE SCP. WHY IS THAT? *JS

WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY STEERING BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. I MANAGED TO EXIT HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. ATTEMPTED TO MAKE LEFT TURN BUT CAR CONTINUED TO GO STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. INFORMED BY DEALER THE MANIFOLD HEATSHIELD RUSTED AND FELL INTO THE STEERING MECHANISM CAUSING THE COMPLETE LACK OF STEERING CONTROL. EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSES TO COVER REPAIR. *JS

AFTER ENTERING THE ALLEY I PUSHED THE GARAGE DOOR BUTTON. AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE DRIVEWAY PAVEMENT FROM THE GRAVEL ALLEY THE TRUCK SLOWED AND BECAME HARD TO STEER (LIKE WHEN THE POWER STEERING PUMP GOES OUT). ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. WHEN I REALIZED WHAT JUST HAPPENED I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY TO OFF AND GOT OUT IN A HURRY. I THOUGHT THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE AS THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE SPUTTERED FOR QUITE AWHILE. AS YET I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS (03/18/11) PRIOR TO REPAIRS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE HAD A "SHAKING NOISE" THE SLOWER YOU DROVE THE MORE NOISE IT MADE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED $1,000 FOR REPAIRS. AT THE TIME WE DROPPED IT OFF THE SERVICE MANAGER MADE US AWARE THAT THERE WAS A "BULLETIN FROM GENERAL MOTORS " ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND THEY WOULD NOT ISSUE A RECALL." IT WAS FOUND BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE FRONT JOUNCE BUMPERS AND FRONT STRUTS AND MOUNTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED GM SERVICE LINE WHILE IT WAS STILL IN THE SHOP AND HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS IN ORDER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I HAD NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TO GM AND THEY STATED "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" AND YOUR 50,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT SINCE IT HAD 62,926 MILES ON IT. I REQUESTED A DISTRICT SUPERVISOR REVIEW AND THE OUTCOME WAS THE SAME. WE HAVE HAD CADILLACS FOR 25+ YEARS AND SOME WITH 200,000+ MILES ON THEM AND NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND TREATMENT FROM ANYONE. WE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION OR CONSIDERATION ABOUT OUR PROBLEM FROM GM EXCEPT FOR THEM TO REPEATEDLY STATE "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR."

WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO SLOW DOWN AT A RED LIGHT OR TO MAKE A TURN, THEN ACCELERATE, MY 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. ALL ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL POWER IS LOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES OVER THE LAST MONTH. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND SHE USES IT TO DROP THE KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL AND DAYCARE. SHE'S BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IN DALLAS, TX 3 TIMES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MASSEY CADILLAC IN GARLAND, TX ON 03/03/11 AND I'M WAITING FOR THEIR DIAGNOSIS. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK BRAND NEW AND HAVE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE. *TR

IN NOV. 2010 THE FRONT SEAT HEATERS FAILED IN OUR CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV. AT THAT TIME AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL WAS OBSERVED BY THE OCCUPANTS. A LATER INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE "J1" WIRING CONNECTOR, WHICH CONNECTS TO THE SEAT CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE, WHICH IS INADEQUATE FOR THE CURRENT LOAD, HAD OVERHEATED RESULTING IN THE WHITE PLASTIC CONNECTOR BECOMING BLACKENED AND BRITTLE,. THIS RESULTED IN THE A LOSS OF POWER TO THE SEAT HEATER. AS THE VEHICLE IS SOME 6 MONTHS AND SOME 10,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY, THE CADILLAC DEALER RECOMMENDED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE J1 CONNECTOR, REPAIR THE WIRING, AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SEAT CLIMATE CONTROL MODULE AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $550.00 AFTER CONTACTING CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE, A CADILLAC DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED ME AND WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED TO PERFORM THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR FOR A $200.00 DEDUCTIBLE. WHEN I ASKED THAT A LETTER STATING THE TERMS OF THEIR OFFER BE SENT TO ME, CADILLACS DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE STATED SHE CANNOT PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING. *TR

2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE - REQUIRED 2 BRAKE JOBS UNDER 50K MILES COMPARED TO 2004 CADILLAC ESCALADE OWNED BY SAME DRIVER THAT DIDN'T NEED BRAKE WORK UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 90K MILES. DRIVER IS SAME FOR BOTH VEHICLES, DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR 2007 SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED, MILES PER CALENDAR DAY, SIGNIFICANTLY LESS. DRIVER DOES NOT TAILGATE OR, RIDE BRAKES. DEALER WHO'S COMPLETED REPAIRS HAS NO EXPLANATION EXCEPT POSSIBLY A HARD BRAKE SITUATION(S) CAUSED DAMAGE WHILE BRAKES WERE HEATED UP OR, A HARD BRAKE SITUATION(S) FOLLOWED BY THE ROTORS GETTING WET, CAUSING WARP WAS ISSUE. DEALER PUSHES CONCEPT THAT DRIVER IS ISSUE (CHANGED DRIVING HABITS - MORE AGGRESSIVE DRIVING OR, CONDITIONS) VS. PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR CAUSED BY QUALITY OF COMPONENTS. DEALER COMPARES 2007 ESCALADE BRAKE WEAR TO THAT OF A 2006 SRX DROVE BY SAME PERSON WHICH NEEDED BRAKE WORK AT 39K MILES. WHEN ASKED IF THE MASTER CYLINDER COULD BE APPLYING TOO MUCH PRESSURE TO ROTORS, DEALER SAID WE COULD SPECULATE ALL DAY BUT WAS CONFIDENT THE MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND REVERTS DISCUSSION TO DRIVER. SEEMS ODD SINCE I DRIVE FEWER MILES UNDER LESS INTENSE CONDITIONS. THE 2004 ESCALADE - WAS A FULL TIME SALES MANAGER TRAVELING ON HIGHLY POPULATED ROADWAYS - CHICAGO, CINCINNATI, INDIANAPOLIS, MINNEAPOLIS, IN 'RUSH HOUR' TRAFFIC. THE 2007 ESCALADE - RETIRED AND DRIVE MINIMALLY POPULATED FREEWAYS AND/OR MINOR ROADWAYS IN MICHIGAN. HAVE NOT CONTACTED GM BECAUSE PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS WITH GM ON OTHER MATTERS WERE MET BY REPRESENTATIVES WHO DIDN'T VIEW THEY HAD A ROLE IN CORRECTING. AN O2 SENSOR REPLACED WHEN FIRST PURCHASED WAS TOLD NOT WARRANTY ITEM AS IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP DAMAGE FROM OCCURRING TO IT. EVEN THOUGH IT'S LOCATED OUTSIDE/UNDERNEATH VEHICLE AND I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO KEEP PROTECTED OTHER THAN TO ENSURE ROUTINE SERVICE. HEARD IT WAS NO DIFFERENT THAN GM NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR A ROCK HITTING THE WINDOW AND CRACKING IT. APPRECIATE YOUR HELP! *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: WE WILL 'NEVER' OWN ANOTHER GMAC CADILLAC (COMPANY NAME: MCGINNIS) VEHICLE. WE LEASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH, 2009 AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE WE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES RIDING IN THIS 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE SUV. GMAC AND MCGINNIS HAVE CREATED AN UNDUE HARDSHIP AND FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S LIVES. YES, WE FEAR FOR OUR LIVES AS A FAMILY WHEN WE ARE IN THIS VEHICLE; IT IS NOT CERTAIN IF WE WILL MAKE IT BACK HOME. GMAC AND MCGINNIS CADILLAC DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD 'ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS' FROM THE OUTSET BUT DIDN'T NOTIFY US OF THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2008 PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY LIVES IN FURTHER DANGER AS WELL AS TO MY HOUSE IF THIS CAR WOULD 'CATCH A FIRE'; THIS 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE SUV WAS HOUSED EVERY NIGHT IN MY ENCLOSED GARAGE. AS STATED FROM THEIR SAFETY RECALL MEMO DATED SEPTEMBER, 2008. "A SHORT CIRCUIT ON THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE WASHER HEATER MAY OVERHEAT THE CONTROL CIRCUIT GROUND WIRE. THIS MAY CAUSE OTHER ELECTRICAL FEATURES TO MALFUNCTION, CREATE AN ODOR, OR CAUSE SMOKE. IN RARE CASES, IT MAY CAUSE A FIRE." IT IS CLEARLY STATED IN THEIR RECALL MEMO THAT THIS VEHICLE "MAY CAUSE A FIRE". GMAC AND MCGINNIS CADILLAC DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES WHEN THEY ARE IN THIS VEHICLE. AS CAN BE SEEN FROM MY ATTACHED DOCUMENTS INCLUDING THE TRANSACTION HISTORY FOR THIS VEHICLE, WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SINCE WE OWNED THIS VEHICLE AND NEITHER MCGINNIS CADILLAC DEALERSHIP NOR LEVI CADILLAC DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.

FLASHING OF HEADLIGHTS DURING DAYTIME HOURS DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE HEADLAMPS ARE IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE. THE AUTOMATIC MODE TURNS THE HEADLAMPS ON DURING EVENING PERIODS & OFF DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PART TIME FEATURE. IN ORDER TO USE THE "FLASH TO PASS" DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, THE HEADLAMPS MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF THE AUTOMATIC MODE. I BELIEVE THIS HINDERS THE ABILITY TO USE THE HEADLAMPS FOR A SAFETY WARNING. *TR

THIS IS A PROBLEM EVEN AT A SIGNIFICANT FOLLOWING DISTANCE, SAY 1/4 MILE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *NM
