2015 CADILLAC ESCALADE Complaints

I PURCHASED A 2015 CADILLAC ESCALADE ON 9/6/2019 FROM MCGOVERN HYUNDAI IN BROCKTON, MASSACHUSETTS. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SOLD AND ON DISPLAY AND WAS TRANSPORTED FROM THE MCGOVERN BUICK GMC DEALERSHIP IN MANSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OR VIN NUMBER IS [XXX]. SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES WITHIN 7 DAYS, 8 TIMES WITHIN 30 DAYS AND 10 TIMES WITHIN 45 DAYS. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 11/4/2019 OF WHICH THE DEALERSHIP IGNORED MY CONTINUOUS APPEALS TO FIX THE ENGINE NOISE(S) AND ASKED THAT I CONTACT MASTRIA IN RAYNHAM MASSACHUSETTS AND DEAL WITH THEM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS THERE FOR REPAIR AND HAVE THEM DEAL WITH MY CONCERNS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR REPAIRS FOR A TOTAL OF 14 DAYS. INITIALLY, WHEN I REQUESTED MC GOVERN HYUNDAI THAT IT BE REPAIRED, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE PART AND/OR PARTS WERE IN BACK ORDER AND THAT THE UAW WAS ON STRIKE. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE FROM FALL RIVER TO BROCKTON FOR ALL OF THESE ISSUES. KEEPING IN MIND THAT MCGOVERN DEALERSHIP IN MANSFIELD IS A BUICK GMC DEALER, I HAD INITIALLY BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE SALESPERSON, TOM, AND ON 9/10/2019, 9/11/2019 AND 9/12/2019, I DROVE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AFTER WORK FOR HIM TO WITNESS THE ISSUES INCLUDING THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.I NOTIFIED THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT I WAS HAVING AND THAT THE APPLIQUE ON THE DRIVER?S PASSENGER SIDE WAS LOOSE OR BROKEN. SHE STATED THAT THE UAW WAS ON STRIKE AND THAT SHE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. TO DATE APPLIQUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY TELL ME TO CONTACT MASTRIA GMC IN RAYNHAM MA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION/ DRIVE TRAIN HAS DISTINCT CLUNKING NOISE WHEN EITHER ACCELERATING AND OR DECELERATING. THERE IS A DISTINCT DELAY SURGE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP AND OR SLOWING DOWN AT SLOW SPEEDS AND OR FROM SLOPED STREETS. THE CLUNKING AND JERKING IS NOT SAFE AND CONDUCIVE TO NORMAL DRIVING AND OPERATING.PARAMETERS. THE DELAYED SURGING AND JERKING CREATES AN ABNORMAL ACCELERATION BOTH IN THE VEHICLE AND FOR SURROUNDING TRAFFIC WHEN STARTING FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. GM DEALERS/ REPAIR FACILITY TECHS ARE AWARE OF THIS SAFTETY/DESIGN DEFECT YET GM HAS YET TO ADMIT/ AND OR ACKNOWLEDGE AND OR PROVIDE A FIX FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM MANY NUMEROUS TIMES BUT GM DOES NOT OR WILL NOT FIX THIS SAFETY DEFECT WITHOUT FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING THIS. PROBLEM! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEAR BRAND NEW. ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR THIS PROBLEM STILL, AND TO THIS CURRENT MILEAGE, OVER 65.000 MILES THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS WORSENING!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC ESCALADE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, THE BACK UP CAMERA WENT BLANK AND FAILED TO DISPLAY AN OBJECT. THE FAILURE OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAULKNER CADILLAC (6726 CARLISLE PIKE, MECHANICSBURG, PA 17050, (717) 691-2000) FOUR TIMES WHERE THE CAMERA AND NEW WIRES WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR A MONTH AGO AND ALREADY BEGAN WITH PROBLEMS. IT HAS 50K MILES. THERE IS A STRANGE CLUCK COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION ARE WHILE DRIVING AND GETS WORSE WHEN GEARS DOWN. ALSO THE RECYCLE AIR SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. BAD SMELLS COME FROM THE OUTSIDE.

2015 KIND OF LIKE ASKING LATE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SHUDDERING SHAKING NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 12 TIMES THEY DID SEVERAL TRANSMISSION FLUSHES DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM

AFTER A COMPLETE STOP I TURNED LEFT INTO A STORE PARKING LOT. DRIVING FOWARD TO FIND A PARKING SPOT AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND ROLLED TO A STOP NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE PUSH START LIGHT WAS STILL LIT UP GREEN I PUT IT INTO PARK AND PUSHED THE START ENGINE BUTTON AND IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY .

CAR, AT TIMES, FAILS TO ENGAGE INTO DRIVE, WHEN AT A STOP. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, CAR, AT TIMES, WILL NOT ADVANCE TO THE NEXT GEAR UPON ACCELERATION. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AT CONSTANT SPEED, CAR SHUDDERS AND CANNOT MAINTAIN THE PROPER GEAR.

THIS VEHICLE EQUIPPED A FRONT CAMERA (23171580) TO PROVIDE LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, COLLISION WARNING, AUTO BRAKE FUNCTION, BUT AFTER A FRONT WINDOW GLASS CHANGE, ALL THESE FUNCTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, AND AFTER RESEARCH, WE FOUND GM REQUIRE A 30 MINUTES RE-CALIBRATE WINDOW, AFTER THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE A NEW CAMERA. IN GM SERVICE INSTRUCTION DOCUMENT SB-10057012-2409.PDF, IT SAID: IF AFTER 30 MINUTES THE ORIGINAL CAMERA WILL NOT CALIBRATE, REPLACE THE FRONT VIEW CAMERA. GM PROVIDE A FREE REPLACEMENT TO VEHICLES UNDER THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER COVERAGE, THEY KNEW THIS PROBLEM CLEARLY. THESE FUNCTIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE, AND NOW IT'S A THREATEN FOR SOME FUNCTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I WANT GM RECALL THESE CAMERAS OF REPLACE IT FOR FREE TO CUSTOMER NEEDED.

CAR AT 56000 MILES WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. REASON WAS THE CHASSIS CONTROL,MODULE WAS IMPROPERLY DESIGNED AND WAS LEFT EXPOSED ALLOWING SNOW TO CORRODE THE MODULE. CADILLAC REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR THAT INCLUDED $650 IN DIAGNOSTIC TIME

WHILE TURNING INTO OUR STREET THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. IT RESTARTED BUT STILL CONCERNED.
