2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE Complaints

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS HARD AT ABOUT 20MPH, GOING FROM SECOND TO FIRST. INITIALLY ONLY OCCURRED AT THIS SCENARIO HOWEVER IT IS OCCURRING AT NORMAL SHIFTING UP AND DOWN. HAD A 2008 THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 165K MILES AND HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR HAULING.

TAKATA RECALL. MYSELF, MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND ASSOCIATES HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE TAKATA INFLATOR WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND GM WILL NOT REPLACE IT.

TAKATA RECALL CAR WAS RECALLED IN MAY 2016. REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE.THIS IS AZ WHICH IS ZONE B OF THE RECALL DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES

THERE WAS A SYMBOL SHOWING ON THE DASHBOARD ABOUT THE AIRBAG. ALSO A SYMBOL TO CHECK THE SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE AND THE STEPS WONT COME OUT NO MORE OF THE DOORS

TAKATA RECALL: THE RECALL WAS INITIATED MAY 2016, IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2017. THE RECALL STILL READS AS "NO REMEDY." I HAVE BEEN TOLD I AM UNABLE TO SELL MY CAR WITH AN OPEN RECALL. I HAVE BEEN WAITING MORE THAN A YEAR TO SELL MY CAR, AND IT CONTINUES TO DEPRECIATE, WHICH IS CREATING A LOSS FOR ME. ADDITIONALLY, I AM UNABLE TO CHOOSE TO DRIVE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE.

TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS RECALL WERE RECEIVED BY ME SINCE MAY 2016. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN AND AM TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS OR ARE UNAWARE OF WHAT TO FIX AS NOTHING IS ON THEIR BULLETIN ADVISING THEM WHAT TO DO. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE RECALL SCHEDULED DUE TO THIS, AND AM CONCERNED THAT BY BEING UNABLE TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF, PRESENTS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND DAILY DANGER TO ME WITH DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

MY VEHICLE STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING. I HAD MY WIFE AND 3. KIDS IN THE CAR. I DRIFTED THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK WHILE MOVING AND RESTARTED IT. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT STAY ON THEY WIPE ONCE THEN SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE RPMS ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTO ZONE WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM AND BATTERY CAUSED THE FAILURE. FURTHERMORE, FAMILY TRUCKS AND VANS OF DENVER COLORADO WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND FURTHER DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND BRAKE PEDAL WERE FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,389.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE AND THE STEERING RACK & PINION (PART NUMBER 20870559). LESS THAN ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I WAS TURNING LEFT TO MANEUVER OUT OF A TIGHT SPOT AND THE VEHICLE CHIMED, GAVE AN ALERT, AND MY STEERING BECAME MANUAL. IT SPENT SEVERAL WEEKS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE LOCALLY AND HAD TO BE SHIPPED IN FROM CANADA. REPAIRED AND HAD LESS THAN A WEEK AND LOST CONTROL AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNING TO LEAVE - SAME PROCESS. WHAT IF I WAS TURNING ON A CURVE GOING 70? WHAT IF I WAS USING CRUISE? WHAT IS I HAD A SHARP CURVE THAT POPPED UP AND I LOST CONTROL? READING SIMILAR RECALLS FROM 2004 AND 2014 OF STEERING ISSUES. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE WAS OVERLOOKED IN THE RECALL AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES IF NOT DISCOVERED. HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR A MONTH. TOO MANY SIMILARITIES TO THE PREVIOUS RECALLL NOT TO BE INCLUDED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V154000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.
