2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV Problems & Complaints

Tubo problema en k a lus derecha delantera l

My son was driving home from work down Highway 288 in Houston and the car just died and did not start. The door locks were going up and down like it was trying to reset and lock the car. I had it fixed and they said it was the fuel pump was out. We had the fuel pump fixed and a new battery put in. Would this cause it to loose power immediately and the door locks to go crazy?

IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR HAS COME ON. I OWN TWO CADILLAC VEHICLES AND COINCIDENTALLY THEY HAVE THE SAME RECALL AND, THE SAME INDICATOR LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED ON BOTH VEHICLES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS RECALL IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE IT'S HOT, SO WE CONSTANTLY DRIVE IN THE SUN. FOR BOTH VEHICLES TO HAVE A RECALL AND NOW BOTH INDICATORS FOR AIRBAGS ARE ILLUMINATED I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE APART OF THIS TAKATA ISSUE.

AT A STOPLIGHT ON AN OVERPASS THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WOULDN'T RESTART FOR 10 MINUTES. AFTER IT RESTARTED AND WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND GET ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR SHUTOFF WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY LOST. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER 5 MINUTES OR SO CAR RESTARTED. THERE WAS A CADILLAC DEALER WITHIN 10 MILES SO WE CONTINUED ON TO TRY AND GET THERE. THE CAR SHUTOFF AGAIN GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY ON THE EXIT RAMP AND AGAIN LOST POWER STEERING. AGAIN WAITED FOR 5 MINUTES THE CAR RESTARTED. SAME THING HAPPENED PULLING INTO THE DEALER PARKING LOT. WE WERE LUCKY THERE WASN'T MUCH TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY OR I WOULD IMAGINE WE COULD HAVE VERY LIKELY CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF AT 60 MPH WITH NO STEERING. WE WERE IN A RURAL AREA WHERE THE HIGHWAY DEATH TOLL IS HIGH. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS CASES OF OTHER ESCALADE OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM.

IN A LETTER RE: TK HOLDINGS INC IT SPECIFICALLY READS IN BOLD SCRIPT, "IF YOUR VEHICLE CONTAINS A DEFECTIVE OR POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR AND IS UNDER RECALL, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO SCHEDULE A FREE REPAIR." DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I READ THAT GM HAD UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO REMEDY SITUATION BUT HAVE NOT HEARD RESULTS.

SECOND LEMON FROM THE TEXAS PLANT. FIRST WAS 07 GMC YUKON WITH MASSIVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THIS NEW CADILLAC, ALSO MADE IN ARLINGTON, HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE SAME REAR PASS DOOR, DOOR LATCH, WINDOW SEALS AND WARPED DOOR FRAME. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. BOTH AUTO RUNNING BOARD MOTORS HAVE NEEDED REPLACING AND PARTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED OUT SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER A FEW THOUSAND MILES ALL 8 LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACING AND NOW THE TRUCK IS SLUGGISH AND "OUT OF SYNC". THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT AFTER A FEW HUNDRED MILES AND REQUIRED AN ENTIRE NEW HVAC SYSTEM, NEW HOSES, MOUNTS, VENTS ETC. THE FRONT PASS LEATHER SEAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF POOR QUALITY. THE PAINT IN SEVERAL AREAS HAS FLAKED AND HAS BEEN TO THE BODY SHOP THREE X'S FOR PAINT REPAIR. GM HAS BEEN FORCED TO TAKE IT BACK UNDER THE LEMON LAW IN CALIF. BACK TO BACK PROBLEMS FROM THE TEXAS PLANT ON SEPARATE GM PRODUCTS, BOTH BRAND NEW AND DRIVEN LESS THAN 10,000 MILES PER YEAR. NEVER BUY ANYTHING BUILT IN THE TEXAS PLANT, THERE SEEMS TO BE BIG ISSUES THERE. *TR

2010 CADILLAC ESCALADE WAS DELIVERED TO THE FIRST RETAIL CUSTOMER BY A FRANCHISED GENERAL MOTORS DEALER WITH OUT THE OWNER MANUAL AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SAFETY AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON JANUARY 21, 2011. TO DATE GM HAS FAILED TO SUPPLY THE REQUESTED OWNERS MANUAL. *TR

I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THESE "BLUE" LIGHTS MANY TIMES WHILE TRAVELING. THEY ARE VERY VERY HARD TO SEE INTO FROM THE ONCOMING VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND A WHILE AND AM SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT BEEN DISCONTINUES. I KEEP THINKING TO MY SELF, "WHAT IF ALL VEHICLES HAD THESE?" WE WOULD HAVE A LOT MORE CRASHES. I THINK YOU SHOULD CONSIDER TAKING THEM OFF THE AUTO COMPANIES THAT ARE SELLING THEM. IT'S GOOD FOR THE DRIVER BUT BAD FOR THE ON COMING VEHICLES. PLEASE CONSIDER RESENDING THESE BLUE LIGHTS ON CARS AND TRUCKS. *TR
