Love my Cadillac escalade, but it happens to be a nuisance every time it sits for more than 2 to 3 days I have to get a jump. I've replaced several batteries, now my CD players don't work, my clock keeps displaying 12:00 an my windows are going haywire.Really looking to up grade but scared to take a chance with another escalade.
