A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED IN 2008 TO ADD A FUSE TO THE CONTROL CIRCUIT HARNESS TO ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) ELECTRICAL SHORT. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN NEW REPORTS OF THERMAL INCIDENTS ON HWFS MODULES AFTER THIS IMPROVEMENT WAS INSTALLED. THESE INCIDENTS RESULTED FROM A NEW FAILURE MODE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEVICE'S THERMAL PROTECTION FEATURE. THE SIGNIFICANCE VARIES FROM MINOR DISTORTION TO CONSIDERABLE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HWFS FLUID CHAMBER.

Risk. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE HEATED WASHER MODULE TO IGNITE AND A FIRE MAY OCCUR.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY DISABLE AND REMOVE THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE TOOK A TRIP TO BIG BEAR WITH FRIENDS, TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THE CONNECTORS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WERE MELTED, GOT THE CONNECTORS CHANGED, AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED, AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. 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.

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.

WAITING TO GET AIRBAGS TO GET PART TO FIX SINCE 2007 AND NO HELP TO SOLVE ISSUE SINCE MAY 2016, WHEN IT WAS RECALLED AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A DISCOUNT TO GET A DIFFERENT SUV OR FIX THE AIR BAG.

TAKATA AIRBAGS, WAITING FOR YEARS NOW TO GET REPLACE. WILL NOT HELP ME SOLVE THIS ISSUE. CALLED 4 TIMES ABOUT REPLACEMENT PARTS AND TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND "SERVICE AIR BAG" WAS DISPLAYED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (CREST CADILLAC, 12800 WEST CAPITAL DR, BROOKSVILLE, WI) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) IN JUNE OF 2016. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE FAILURE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE THE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" , "STABILITRAK", "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON AND ENGINE IS CONSUMING QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND IS NOW KNOCKING. AFTER ELIMINATING OTHER AREAS, THE MECHANIC HAS CAME TO A CONCLUSION THAT THE KNOCKING IS FROM THE RESULT OF A FAULTY PUSH ROD. I BELIEVE THAT I AM THE 3RD OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 160,000+ MILES. 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. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *AN

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. **TR THE ORIGINAL GM-CADILLAC NOTICE WE RECEIVED IF DATED JULY 2016. RECALL #49151. IF THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGER, I WOULD HAVE HOPED THE PROBLEM WOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY NOW. THIS IS 2 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS LATER. WE DO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND WOULD PREFER NOT TO BE INCLUDED IN A CRASH!! UPDATED 10/29/18*JB

TAKARA RECALL: IN 2015 MY CADILLAC ESCALADE WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND EXPLODED WITH A BUNCH OF SMOKE AND AWFUL SMELL IN THE AIR AND SOME DEBRIS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN HIT A MIDSIZE HONDA ACCORD HEAD ON. I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET. I WAS FAULTED SINCE I WAS REACHING FOR MY GPS NAVIGATION DEVICE THAT HAD FALLEN ON THE FLOOR. THE CAUSE FOR THE MALFUNCTION TO ME IS UNKNOWN. I WAS DEFINITELY INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT BUT I ONLY HAD LIABILITY INSURANCE AT THE TIME AND IT ONLY COVERED THE OTHER PARTY SINCE I WAS FAULTED. RECALL DATE:MAY 27, 2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER:2049151

TAKATA RECALL. SERVICE STABILATRAK CHECK ENGINE CODE P011 HAD EVERYTHING DONE AND NOW DEALER SAYS MUST REPLACE ENGINE. I HAVE REPLACED CAMSHAFT CRANKSHAFT AND ALSO THE S NOSES. STILL P011 CODE!!THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR OIL PRESSES ISSUES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE!!I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIR BAG IN SEPTEMBER 2016 I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEALER AND HAVE NO PARTS TO THE RECALL YET ALMOST 2 YEARS

TAKATA RECALL. IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL NOTIFICATION AND NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN OBTAINED. I'VE EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS TO RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS RECALL. IN 2016 & 2017 I ATTEMPTED TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE AT THE CADILLAC DEALERS. ACCORDING TO THE CADILLAC SALES PERSON, THEY ARE NOT TAKING ANY TRADE IN WITH THAT RECALL AND IF THEY DID IT WOULD BE AT A CONSIDERABLE VALUE REDUCTION. BASICALLY GIVING THE VEHICLE AWAY. I'M FORCED TO KEEP THIS DANGEROUS CAR AND IT'S BAD WORKMANSHIP.

AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY CONTINUE TO TELL US THAT THERE IS NO FIX. WE CAN NOT SELL THE VEHICLE AS THEIR IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON IT CURRENTLY AND WE CAN NOT DRIVE IT AS IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE.

THE DEALER STATES THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION OR PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. EARNHARDT CADILLAC, 7901 E FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BLVD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85260. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE CHAPTER 11 CASE NO. 17-11375 FOR TK HOLDINGS INC. ON THIS NOTICE, IT ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU IF THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE.

"TAKATA RECALL

ABNORMALLY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION: EVEN AFTER COMPLETING THE VALVE COVER REPLACEMENT AS RECOMMENDED IN THE GM TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-06-01-008M, THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION CONTINUES TO OCCUR. FROM FULL OIL LEVEL COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHJP SERVICE CENTER TO THE POINT THAT THE COMPUTER SCREEN INDICATES "LOW OIL LEVEL", THE CAR HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 1,000 MILES (VERIFIED BY GM SERVICE CENTER). AS AN SIDE, THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ABOUT 5,000 MILES PER YEAR AND IS SERVICED AND CARED FOR RELIGIOUSLY. THIS ISSUE WAS INITIALLY NOTICED IN 2012 AS WAS THOUGHT TO BE A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE MAKE/MODEL. ONLY AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH INTO SIMILAR INSTANCES WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AS REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS, DID THIS BECOME A LARGER ISSUE. IT WAS THEN REPORTED TO GM RESULTING IN A CASE NUMBER BEING CREATED. THE NEXT MAINTENANCE STEP AS RECOMMENDED BY GM SERVICE CENTER IS TO REPLACE PISTONS AND RINGS.

STALLING SOME TIMES IN STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT NO CODES STABILYTRAK ON AND OFF

AIR BAGS RECALLED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND STILL NOT FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL - GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE IN MAY, 2016 AND TO THIS DATE, DEALERS ARE STILL REPORTING NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. WE CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS AND WE'RE TOLD IT MAY BE SEVERAL MORE MONTHS BEFORE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE OR NHTSA CLOSES THE RECALL WITHOUT REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM IS WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRADE THE CAR IN ON A NEW VEHICLE, HOWEVER NO DEALERS WANT THE VEHICLE AS THEY CANNOT RESELL THEM WITH A PENDING RECALL AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. WHAT IS OUR RECOURSE IN MAKING A CLAIM WITH GM AGAINST THE AMOUNT THEY HAVE DEVALUED OUR VEHICLE?

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.....

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

AT CRUISING SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL DISPLAY SERVICE STABILITRACK,TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL, AND REDUCING ENGINE POWER. NOT ALLOWING YOU TO GO FASTER THE 15 MPH. THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHEN CHANGING GEARS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR FRONT AND REAR LEFT SIDE DOOR HANDLES BEGAN TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN ANY OF THE DOORS, THE HANDLES BECAME SEPARATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE HANDLES WERE PLASTIC AND BECAUSE OF VARIOUS TYPES OF WEATHER THE HOLES FOR THE SCREWS HAD WIDEN CAUSING THE HANDLES TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE HANDLES WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

MULTIPLE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKEN CAUSING EXHAUST GAS LEAKS BETWEEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CYLINDER HEAD. CONDITION EXISTS ON BOTH SIDES OF ENGINE. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS AND MODULE CONNECTORS WERE MELTED AND BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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

ENGINE MOUNTS FAILED AND POTENTIAL FOR WIRING HARNESS TO BE STETCHED TO THE POINT TO CAUSE LOSS OF MANY ENGINE FUNCTIONS. ADDITIONALLY THE OIL PAN GASKET HAS ALSO FAILED.WAS INFORMED BY DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THESE ARE COMMON OCCURENCES IN THESE VEHICLES. *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

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 ESV, WHILE EASTBOUND IN THE RIGHT LANE, TOWING A TRAILER. THE HITCH PIN FELL OUT CAUSING THE TRAILER TO COME LOOSE AND STRIKE THE RIGHT BUMPER. THE TRAILER THEN TURNED ON ITS LEFT SIDE. *BF ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT, THE TRAILER WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE SUV WITH THE SAFETY CHAINS, HOWEVER THE HITCH PIN WAS MISSING AND THE TRAILER TONGUE HAD PULLED OUT. (OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT # 10-0396-90)*JB

I JUST LIKE INFORM TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I AM OWNER OF CADILAC ESCALADE ESV THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2006 , I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS WAS BY FAR MY WORST EXPERIENCE WITH ANY CAR THAT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT IN MY LIFE IN ONE YEAR TIME THE CAR SAT AT THE DEALER MORE THAN 3 MONTHS FOR MANY ISSUES AND DEFECTS AND WHEN I MEAN MANY I MEAN OVER 80 ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND MOST IMPORTANT THESE CARS HAVE MAJOR DEFECT ON THEIR BAKES I HAD ALMOST A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE TWO FRONT CALIPERS BRAKES FAILED AND THE WAS ONLY 6 MONTHS IN MY HAND SINCE THEN IT HAS HAD OTHER BRAKE FAILURES AND MANY OTHER DEFECTS INCLUDING WIRE HARNESS TO CATCH ON FIRE THIS CAR IS TICKING TIME BOMB WAITING FOR SOMETHING ELSE TO GO WRONG I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GM THE MANUFACTURER OF CADILLAC UNTIL TODAY FROM DAY ONE IT HAS HAD DEAD BATTERY IF YOU LET IT SIT FOR MORE THEN 3 DAYS FROM DAY ONE INCLUDING ENGINE LIGHT ALSO FROM DAY ONE THAT THEY NEVER WERE ABLE TO FIX I AM SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT THESE CARS OR VERY UNSAFE SO BODY SHOULD TALK TO THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THESE SERIOUS ISSUES SOME BODY CAN GET HURT FROM THESE PROBLEMS THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 26 TIMES IN 10 MONTHS FOR MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND HAS HAD NUMEROUS REPLACEMENT PARTS INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, NAVIGATION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, MOTORIZED GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL MOVEMENT WHILE DRIVING, FUEL TANK ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ALL OF WHICH HAS CREATED UNSAFE SITUATIONS FOR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS UNDEPENDABLE DUE TO NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH CADILLAC FOR A REPLACEMENT WITH NO SUCCESSES. IF WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS DIRECTED BY CADILLAC, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT FOR THE ENTIRE CADILLAC LINE AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS BRAND. *TR

EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES KEEP BREAKING PROBABLY BECAUSE THE ARE PLASTIC. *TR
