ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CLARIFY RECALL AT DEALERSHIP WITH NO CONCLUSION. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO RECALL AND REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT THE VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA DEFECT. 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.
