2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE Complaints

USING REMOTE START CAUSED THE HEATED SEATS TO BURN OUT. THERE WAS AN ODOR OF ELECTRICAL BURNING. THE CONTROL MODULE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS VISIBLE SIGNS OF BURNING OR BURNT OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS IS CLEARLY A FIRE HAZARD. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND REMOTE START USED.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES MY YEAR MODEL AND AFTER. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND IS NOT EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES.

IN PREVIOUS REPAIRS, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY AND REPLACED A CABLE FOR THE SERVICE CHARGING SYSTEM DUE TO A CONSTANT LOSS OF POWER.

THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON STREET AND ON FREEWAY, THE SPEED DROPS AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO CUT OFF. THE WINDOWS WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF AND, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 SEPARATE TIMES (TWICE THIS YEAR) DIFFERENT DATES. THERE SHOULD BE 3 PICTURES SHOWN OF THAT. -LAST WEEK THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, THE BATTERY IS 1 YR. OLD- GOOD, THE RADIO WOULD NOT COME ON, INTERIOR LIGHTS ALL WORKED. TOWED TO A SHOP DIAGNOSTIC WAS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULAR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STILL WON'T GO OFF. -WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2015 THE SERVICE SUSPENSION ALERT WAS ON, THE DEALER (SUBURBAN CADILLAC IN STERLING HEIGHTS, MI) SAID "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW", THIS YEAR THERE THE TRUCK STARTED MAKING A BUZZING NOISE. EVERY MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. OF COURSE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT BEFORE IT STARTED.
