2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE Complaints

THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE PULLED OUT FROM THE DOOR THREE TIMES. WHEN YOU GO TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE DOOR HANDLE PULLS OUT FROM THE DOOR FRAME. I JUST HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AT A COST OF $232.72. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU WERE IN A CRASH AND HAD TO HAVE SOME ONE OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE TO REMOVE YOU OR YOUR FAMILY. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

WE WERE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AFTER THE SUV WAS PARKED FOR OVER AN HOUR. WHEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. SMOKE STARTED POURING IN SIDE THE CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE FROM UNDER THE DASH BOARD. WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED 911. OPENED THE HOOD AND 3FT FLAMES SHOT OUT, THE ALARM WENT OFF AS SMOKE AND FLAMES FILLED THE AIR. A LADY IN A HOME NEARBY RAN OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO ASSIST. FIRE AND POLICE CAME, REPORT WAS FILED. MY LUNGS BURNED FOR WEEKS AFTER AND I HAD A CHRONIC COUGH. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND IT TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT BUT GM REFUSED TO WORK WITH US ON COSTS. WE HAD TO PAY FULL PRICE OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB, GM, AND MANY OTHERS BUT GOT NO ASSISTANCE. I ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THIS SUV AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 100,000 MILES WHICH THE SHOP SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL BUT FOR A TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AT THIS LOW OF MILES BUT IN THESE TRANSMISSIONS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF FAILING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN DOING 65 AND LOCKED UP. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN ISSUES WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WHICH MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALSO REPORTED, DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WHICH GM REFUSED TO REPLACE. THE FILM OVER THE WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE WHICH CAUSED BLURRY VISION IN THE DRIVERS LINE OF VIEW. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. GM HAS NOT BACKED ANY OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS SUV. IT HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS FOR REPAIRS. *TR

I PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW AND TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF MY CARS. OVER THE YEARS OF OWNING THE TRUCK, ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES HAVE FALLEN OFF THE OUTSIDE. ONE FELL OFF THE INSIDE. AND ANOTHER DOOR AFTER A REPAIR WOULDN'T OPEN AT ALL. I RECENTLY HAD MY TRUCK IN DUE TO THE LAST OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKING. THE SERVICE MANAGER PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I WAS OPENING THE DOOR WRONG, AND WASN'T I EVER INSERVICED ON HOW TO OPEN A DOOR WHEN I BOUGHT IT? REALLY? I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED AN INSERVICE, AND HOW IS THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT MY FAULT? THREE OF THE 4 DOORS WERE UNDER WARRANTY. BUT AFTER READING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE FORTH DOOR. *TR

A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED CAR FROM RANCHO MOTORS VICTORVILLE, CA I HAD INCIDENTS WHERE ALL ELECTRICAL FEATURES FROM VEHICLE WOULD SHUT DOWN, I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE KEPT IT FOR A MONTH AT TIMES AND THEIR RESOLUTION IS THAT THE BATTERY HASN'T WORKED BUT IT'S BEEN 7 TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, THE WORST PART IS AT ONE POINT VEHICLE STOP WORKING IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY AND MY FAMILY AND I WERE REALLY SCARED, PROBLEM CONTINUES I'M DONE AND TIRED OF THIS. I HAD PAID ALMOST $50,000 ON UNRELIABLE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM IS BECAUSE I'M HISPANIC DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE CARE OF ME. *TR

HEATED FRONT SEATS NOT WORKING. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS, IS THAT THE CONNECTOR THAT ATTACHES TO THE CLIMATE CONTROL SEAT MODULE (CCSM) (WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT), OVERHEATS TO THE POINT THAT THE CONNECTOR HAS MELTED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND CADILLAC SHOULD LOOK INTO FIXING IT. FROM ALL THE POSTS ON THIS SUBJECT IN THE CADILLAC OWNER'S FORUMS THERE ARE ALOT OF OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND CONCERNS. *TR
