AIR BAGS, SEATS
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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
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

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.

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.

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.

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.....
