I WENT TO REPLACE /REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A 5 MONTH BACK ORDER FOR A HYBRID BATTERY FROM CHINA. IF I HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG FOR GM TO PRODUCE PARTS THEY SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO USE AN AFTERMARKET PROGRAM AND I'M STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK. HYBRID IS IMPORTANT FOR THE CAR AS THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WITH LIMITED POWER OR NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AT ALL.

INITIALLY MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I ASSUMED IT FAILED AND WAS GOING TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THE FOLLOWING DAY WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE. I WAS ON MY WAY TO DROP THE CAR OFF AT THE DEALER THE SAME DAY AND WHILE DRIVING A WARNING MESSAGE STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS INOPERABLE, IT THEN WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I BARELY MADE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I PULLED INTO A SAFE LOCATION I HEARD A POP UNDER THE CAR AND EVERYTHING STARTED SHUTTING DOWN. THE ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING, EVENTUALLY QUITTING. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND AFTER CRAWLING AROUND I NOTICED THE WIRING CLIPS HOLDING THE WIRE LOOM ABOVE THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT HAD FAILED. THE WIRING LOOM HAS ENOUGH SLACK IN IT TO THEN WRAP ITSELF AROUND THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT, FINALLY SNAPPING THE WIRES. A TOTAL OF 9 WIRES SNAPPED. THIS IS MOST LIKELY ONLY AN ISSUE FOR THOSE WITH AWD AS IT WAS THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT THAT THE WIRES FINALLY WRAPPED AROUND AND CAUSED MULTIPLE SYSTEMS TO FAIL IMMEDIATELY. LUCKILY IT WAS DURING THE DAY IN AN AREA I WAS FAMILIAR WITH. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT OR ON A TRIP, THIS COULD HAVE TURNED INTO AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ISSUE. A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS ONE.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAY ON AND IT WILL NOT GO AWAY. I AM UNABLE TO PASS SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THAT. 07/06/2016 MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL ISSUED NHTSA #16V381 RECALL #2049151 PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS STATUS: REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE

I HAVE THREE SEPARATE SITUATIONS WITH MY 2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE PLATINUM. THE UPPER DASH CLOSER TO THE WINDOW IS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO THE CADILLAC ESCALADE WOODGRAIN SIGN LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AS WELL. IS THIS A DEFECT? MY VEHICLE IS TYPICALLY STORED IN THE GARAGE BUT YET AND STILL MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED. LASTLY, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CADILLAC REGARDING THE RECALL/REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS BACK IN 2015. I CALLED LINDSAY CADILLAC OF ALEXANDRIA TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT; HOWEVER, THEIR RESPONSE IS THERE NO AIRBAGS AVAILABLE. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND OIL AND POWER STERING FLUIDS WAS ON MY CARPORT. I HAVE CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET AND MORE THAN A FEW IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME SUV.

THE TOP CLEAR COAT OF THE PAINT IN THE MIDDLE COLUMNS, BETWEEN THE DOORS, BOTH SIDES, IS PEELING OR GOING OUT. THE CADILLAC DEALER (BROGAN CADILLAC) IN TOTOWA, NJ TOLD ME THAT IS NORMAL, I AM THINKING THEY ARE WRONG, BUT MAYBE I'M WRONG.

IN MY CADY ESCALADE THE TOP COVER OF THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING AND CUT PHYSICALLY THE DASHBOARD AND POPPING UP.

MY HYBRID ESCALADE HAS NO EXTRA POWER IN REQUESTING THAT AFTER PRESS DOWN THE GAS PEDAL TO GET MORE NECESSARY POWER TO ENTRY IN HIGHWAY THE CAR SHOWS SOMETHING IS HOLDING THE CAR. I DO NOT IF NORMAL OR NOT. THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
