2014 CADILLAC ESCALADE Complaints

JUST PURCHASED THIS 2014 VEHICLE FOR $32900 WITH 73345MILES AND ON THE WAY HOME NOTICED THAT THE RIDE WAS HORRIBLE. UPON CHECKING WITH MY MECHANIC THE RIDE SUSPENSION WAS AT FAULT. I AM HAVING IT REPAIRED AND WILL SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE DEALER. THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD IT FOR OVER 4 MONTHS ON THEIR LOT

CAR FRAME CRACKED, WITH NO ACCIDENT, ABOVE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. THERE IS 1/4 INCH OF COMPLETE SEPARATION. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO. CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. I DRIVE 2 HOURS A DAY, CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING USUALLY WITH MY TWO KIDS. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE A NAIL REMOVED FROM THE TIRE, AND WAS CALLED AND TOLD MY FRAME WAS CRACKED.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2014 CADILLAC ESCALADE IN 2014. I HAVE 61,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR IN YESTERDAY FOR A TIRE REPAIR AT WHICH TIME THE TECHNICIANS INFORMED ME THE TIRES WERE CRACKING AND THEY COULD COME APART. THE NEW VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH BRIDGESTONE 285/45 R 22 TIRES. I REPLACED THE TIRES TODAY WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRES. WHEN I WAS AT THE TIRE SHOP TODAY, THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON WITH A CADILLAC ESCALADE, SAME TIRES AS MINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT MIGHT AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRES THAT I WILL TRY AND ATTACH.
