2016 CADILLAC ESCALADE Complaints

MY VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT AGGRESSIVELY NONE STOP AND ITS BAD ENOUGH TO WERE YOU TAKE YOUR EYES FOR A SECOND TO LOOK AT THE FUEL GAUGE AND YOU ARE ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OTHER LANE. THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED WORK ON IT AND REPLACED PARTS,IN A FEW WORDS THEY TOLD ME..WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST. AS OF TODAY 5/29/2017 I AM STILL FIGHTING WITH MY STEERING TO KEEP MY VEHICLE IN LANE. THANKS FOR LOOKING INTO THIS.

AFTER COMING TO A STOP, CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF. NO WARNING OR FAILURE LIGHTS CAME ON. PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED. DASH LOOKED TOTALLY NORMAL BUT NO RPM'S. CANNOT SAY WHETHER CAR ENGINE STOPPED BEFORE CAR CAME TO A STOP BUT SOMETIME BETWEEN SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN TO WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT STOP SIGN.

67 DAYS & 1230 MILES AFTER PURCHASING, JUST AFTER STARTING AND MERGING INTO HEAVY, FAST MOVING CITY TRAFFIC, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & SEVERAL OTHERS COME ON. THEN ON STAR TEXT AND EMAIL DIAGNOSTIC ALERT RECEIVED: "SERVICE THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION IN YOUR VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY". THE ENGINE WAS ACTING SLUGGISH, ROUGH, JOLTING, NO ACCELERATION, MAX SPEED BARELY 30PMH, A/C STOPS WORKING. ON STAR DIAGNOSTIC REPORT (MONTHLY EMAIL REPORT) AT 1200 MILES WAS PERFECT, 40 MINUTES PRIOR. DEALER SERVICE DIAGNOSED CYLINDER #2 MISFIRES, COMPONENT TESTING ON THE THRESHOLD OF BEING SHORTED. REPLACED #2 FUEL INJECTOR. DIAGNOSTIC CODES AVAIL. IF NEEDED. VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW! CONCERNED ABOUT SERIOUS FUTURE ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH NO WARNING AND/OR POSSIBILITY VEHICLE IS A LEMON.

THE GEARS SHIFT ABRUPTLY. WHEN TAKING OFF THE GEARS WILL SHIFT HARD THAT IT FEELS AS IF SOMETHING HEAVY IS DROPPING IN THE ENGINE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES WITH SAME PROBLEM. TOMORROW WILL BE FOURTH TIME WITH SAME ABRUPT SHIFTING PROBLEM FOR A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. AFTER DEALERSHIP TRIES TO FIX IT IT OPERATES WELL FOR ABOUT TWO TO THREE MONTHS AND THEN THE PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HAS LOST ALL POWER TWICE NOW, BATTERY DEAD, DEAD, DEAD. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS BLINK QUICKLY, MULTIPLE TIMES BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO TURN ON. THIS ESCALADE WAS 94,000 TOTAL AND IT IS NOT A QUALITY VEHICLE! ROUGH RIDE WITH TRANSMISSION KICKING IN SO ROUGH!!!

IN THE EARLY HOURS OF AUGUST 15TH 2016 MY CADILLAC ESCALADE 2016, VIN [XXX], CAUGHT FIRE WHILE STAYING PARKED (STATIONARY) ALL NIGHT. AS PER THE PICTURES TAKEN BY THE NEIGHBORS, THE ESCALADE TUNED INTO A HUGE FIRE BALL AND BURNED THE TRUCK DOWN TO ASHES. IT ALSO BURNED DOWN TWO OTHER CARS PARKED BEHIND IT AND THE ADJACENT HOUSE ON FIRE. AS PER THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY (MARYLAND) FIRE DEPARTMENT, ARSON WAS RULED OUT AND MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY INTERNAL MECHANICAL ISSUES. (FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT NUMBER [XXX]). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE LIGHT ON THE DASH TELL ME THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT WORKING TO PROTECT THE PASSENGER SHOULD THERE,BE A HEAD ON COLLISION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CADILLAC ESCALADE. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE FAILED, WHICH WOULD PREVENT THE AIR BAGS FROM DEPLOYING IN THE INVENT OF A CRASH. THE AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,700.

VEHICLE EXHIBITS A CONSTANT VIBRATION AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 MPH AND 75 MPH. VIBRATION IS NOT ROAD RELATED, IT IS A CONSTANT, STEADY VIBRATION REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS, BEST DESCRIBED AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING OVER CORDUROY. THERE IS ALSO A STEADY "BUFFETING" NOISE COMING FROM THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 MPH AND 70MPH. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO INDEPENDENT TIRE SHOP (BY ME) TO HAVE WHEELS AND TIRES ROAD FORCE BALANCED. REPORT WAS PROVIDED, ALL IN SPEC AND VIBRATION IS STILL PRESENT. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A "OPEN TICKET" ON THE VEHICLE AT THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AWAITING A "GM ENGINEER" TO VERIFY THE VIBRATION. AS A RESULT, I DO NOT HAVE A COPY OF THE LATEST INVOICE VERIFYING THE SERVICE VISIT. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 2000 MILES ON IT, THE VIBRATIONS WERE PRESENT SINE NEW AND SEEM TO BE GETTING WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AS THE SPEED INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. UPDATED 05/11/16*LJ *JS

CAR VIBRATES FROM 35MPH UP TO 80 PLUS. HAD IT TO DEALER 5 TIMES AND THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A VIBRATION. THEY SAID GM SAID THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS OUT OF BALANCE AND GM WAS DESIGNING A FIX . ABOUT 5 CALLS AND THREE WEEK LATER THEY RECEIVED A NEW SPECIAL TORQUE CONVERTER AND AFTER IT WAS INSTALLED THE VIBRATION WAS STILL THERE. YOU CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL, THROTTLE, CENTER CONSOLE, FLOOR, AND THE SEAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS BEEN VERY POLITE AND HAS GONE OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP. A GM FIELD SERVICE REP HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID IT IS WITHIN GM SPEC,S. I AM READING ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM HAS REPLACED DRIVELINES, WHEELS, TIRES, TORQUE CONVERTERS, SHOCKS, REAR AXLES, ENGINE MOUNTS, ETC. AND STILL HAVE A VIBRATION PROBLEM. THEY HAVE EVEN BOUGHT SOME OF THE 2015 AND 2016 BACK. THIS IS HAPPENING ON ALL GM FULL SIZE SUV'S. CHEVROLET, GMC, AND CADILLAC.
