ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD 2000 YEAR MODEL ESCALADE SUV. FIVE YEARS AGO IT PRESENTED THE PROBLEM OF REAR COMPARTMENT AIR BLOWER NOT STOPPING ON TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. BATTERY WAS GETTING DRAINED. NO HELP FROM GM. I TOOK THE FUSE OFF FOR THE AIR BLOWER TO STOP BATTERY DRAIN. TWO YEARS LATER I PUT THE FUSE BACK TO CHECK IT . IT FUNCTIONED OK. IS IT ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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

SUSPENSION, PARKING BRAKE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL:AUTOMATIC (ASC)
I OWNED 2002 CADILLAC ESCALADE, I BOUGHT BRAND NEW, WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES WE SENT THIS CAR BACK TO DEALER TO FIX SOMETHING, I CHANGE TIRES EVERY ONE & HALF YEAR, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE BIG PROBLEM, WHEN I DRIVE ON FREEWAY ENTRANCE WITH TURNS, THE STABILITY LIGHT COMES ON, MEANING TIME THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN, LOOKS LIKE YOU STEP ON BRAKE. I BROUGHT TO DEALER TO CHECK IT, THEY STILL HAVE THE CAR, CAN NOT FIND WHAT COULD CAUSE THAT. THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, THEY KNOW THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD. *JB

BACK OVER PREVENTION:WARNINGS:EXTERNAL/PEDESTRIAN ALERT, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON GENERAL MOTORS CARS THAT LIGHT THE BACKUP LIGHTS WHILE PARKED AND REMOTE LOCK AND UNLOCK ARE ACTIVATED. PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS STOP AS IF THE VEHICLE MAY BACK UP WHICH SHOULD BE A PROPER REACTION. I HAVE EVEN TAUGHT MY CHILDREN THIS, PEOPLE NOW HAVE A TENDENCY TO IGNORE THE BACKUP LAMPS ON VEHICLES IN PARKING LOTS AS WELL AS CREATING INCONVENIENT SITUATIONS AS CARS AND PEDESTRIANS STOP FOR UNOCCUPIED VEHICLES. I HAVE FOUND MYSELF DRIVING PAST THESE VEHICLES WHEN THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO BACKUP CREATING A CLOSE CALL. I KNOW THIS SEEMS TRIVIAL BUT I SEE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS TO ME A SIMPLE COMPUTER REFLASH COULD SOLVE THIS DISTURBING TREND. IN THE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION I CHOSE CADILLAC ESCALADE THOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE MOST GM PRODUCTS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
WHILE DRIVING MY CADILLAC ESCALADE WITH MY FAMILY AND BRAKING AT A LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 15 MPH) THE ABS SYSTEM SEEMED TO HAVE GONE OFF WITHOUT THE ABS LIGHT GOING ON AND SUBSEQUENTLY THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME HAD I NOT PULLED TOWARD THE CURB. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS QUITE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AS MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED IT. SUBSEQUENTLY THEREAFTER THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RE-OCCURRING AND I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER. I TOLD THE SERVICE CENTER WHAT MY RESEARCH FOUND AND BECAUSE A COMPUTER SCAN DID NOT EVEN PICK UP THE ISSUE THEY DECIDED T IT MIGHT BE DUE TO THE ABS SENSORS BEING DIRTY ALSO THE SERVICE CENTER REPRESENTATIVE AND MECHANIC BOTH SAID TO ME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE A NUMBER OF TIMES. THEY CLEANED OFF THIS ABS SENSOR AT WHICH TIME A TEST REVEALED THAT ONE OF THE SENSORS WAS READING IMPROPERLY. SO THEY SAID TO REPAIR IT I NEED TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY ON THAT SIDE. AFTER THEY CHANGED THAT SIDE AND AFTER ANOTHER TEST DRIVE THE ISSUE STILL RECURRED. THIS TIME THEY SAID MAYBE WE NEED TO CHANGE THE OTHER SIDE AS WELL. NOW THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING THE OTHER WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY TO SEE IF THE ISSUE IS CORRECTED. THE COST FOR REPAIRS IS WELL OVER $1200. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT AND DRIVES UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. I TRIED TO CONTACT GM'S CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO ARE OF NO HELP AND ALSO ASKED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPORTED FOR SOME TYPE OF REVIEW OR POTENTIAL RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN AS IT AFFECTS THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF THEIR VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT SEEM DUE TO WEAR OR TEAR BUT AN ISSUE WITH MANUFACTURING. THE SENSOR ITSELF CANNOT EVEN BE SWAPPED OUT, ONLY THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. THIS IS QUITE SCARY THAT AT ANY TIME DURING THE ENTIRE PROCESS MY ABS LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF AND IT DID NOT SEEM THAT THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIPS OWN COMPUTERS COULD NOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
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. GMAC WAS CORRECT IN STATING THAT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WILL CAUSE OTHER "ELECTRICAL FEATURES TO FAIL" AS CAN BE SHOWN FROM THEIR TRANSACTION HISTORY AND MY SUMMARY OF THEIR TRANSACTION HISTORY INCLUDING MY INVOICES OF REPAIRS: 1.BATTERY WAS REPLACED SIX TIMES 2.AIR CONDITIONING HVAC CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED 3.ALL CIGA. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; THERE WAS AN UNINTENDED FORCEFUL ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE DRIVER MANUALLY SHIFTED GEARS INTO THE "NEUTRAL" POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL; SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THERE WERE THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THAT THE IDENTICAL FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE VEHICLE IS NOT BEING DRIVEN AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SERVICE ENGINE TROUBLE CODE CAUSES ENGINE POWER REDUCED TO 10%. WHEN THE GM COMPUTER GETS A C1214 TROUBLE CODE, THE FACTORY PROGRAM REDUCES ENGINE POWER TO 10%. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LET YOU GO MORE THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY DEFECT, WHO CARES IF THE STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL IS INOPERATIVE, THERE IS NO REASON TO IMPERIL THE OCCUPANTS WITH A VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT GET OUT OF ITS OWN WAY. I OWN AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES WITHOUT STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL AND AFTER 1,000,000 MILES I HAVE YET TO END UP SIDE DOWN! YOU NEED FORCE GM TO CORRECT THIS LINE OF COMPUTER CODE TO ALLOW REASONABLE PERFORMANCE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
HEADLIGHT INSTALLED HEIGHT ON TALLER VEHICLES SUCH AS CATEGORY 1 AND 2 TRUCKS (COMMONLY CALLED SUV, CROSSOVER, VAN, PICKUP TRUCK, ETC.) IS OF SUCH A DESIGN THAT IT COMMONLY (PERHAPS UNAVOIDABLY) ENDS UP BLINDING DRIVERS IN PASSENGER CARS AT LOWER HEIGHTS BY DIRECTING THE 'HOT SPOT' OF HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES OF PASSENGER CAR DRIVERS. IN ADDITION, BUMPER HEIGHT ON THESE SAME VEHICLES IS NOT DESIGNED TO MEET BUMPERS ON OTHER VEHICLES, RESULTING IN HIGHER THAN NECESSARY INJURY AND FATALITY RATES. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS WAYS TO DEVELOP SAFER VEHICLE DESIGNS AND REGULATIONS. *TR
