2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV Complaints

AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS THEY CONTINUE TO TELL US THAT THERE IS NO FIX. WE CAN NOT SELL THE VEHICLE AS THEIR IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON IT CURRENTLY AND WE CAN NOT DRIVE IT AS IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE.

THE DEALER STATES THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION OR PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. EARNHARDT CADILLAC, 7901 E FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BLVD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85260. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE CHAPTER 11 CASE NO. 17-11375 FOR TK HOLDINGS INC. ON THIS NOTICE, IT ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU IF THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE.

ABNORMALLY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION: EVEN AFTER COMPLETING THE VALVE COVER REPLACEMENT AS RECOMMENDED IN THE GM TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-06-01-008M, THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION CONTINUES TO OCCUR. FROM FULL OIL LEVEL COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHJP SERVICE CENTER TO THE POINT THAT THE COMPUTER SCREEN INDICATES "LOW OIL LEVEL", THE CAR HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 1,000 MILES (VERIFIED BY GM SERVICE CENTER). AS AN SIDE, THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ABOUT 5,000 MILES PER YEAR AND IS SERVICED AND CARED FOR RELIGIOUSLY. THIS ISSUE WAS INITIALLY NOTICED IN 2012 AS WAS THOUGHT TO BE A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE MAKE/MODEL. ONLY AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH INTO SIMILAR INSTANCES WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AS REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS, DID THIS BECOME A LARGER ISSUE. IT WAS THEN REPORTED TO GM RESULTING IN A CASE NUMBER BEING CREATED. THE NEXT MAINTENANCE STEP AS RECOMMENDED BY GM SERVICE CENTER IS TO REPLACE PISTONS AND RINGS.

TAKATA RECALL - GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE IN MAY, 2016 AND TO THIS DATE, DEALERS ARE STILL REPORTING NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. WE CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS AND WE'RE TOLD IT MAY BE SEVERAL MORE MONTHS BEFORE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE OR NHTSA CLOSES THE RECALL WITHOUT REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM IS WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRADE THE CAR IN ON A NEW VEHICLE, HOWEVER NO DEALERS WANT THE VEHICLE AS THEY CANNOT RESELL THEM WITH A PENDING RECALL AND NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. WHAT IS OUR RECOURSE IN MAKING A CLAIM WITH GM AGAINST THE AMOUNT THEY HAVE DEVALUED OUR VEHICLE?

P0011 ENGINE CODE ONCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE TRUCK RIDES HORRIBLE. GM HAS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS A DESIGN FLAW LUBRICATING THE CAM SHAFT. I CHANGE THE OIL ONCE A MONTH. ITS NOT ENOUGH.. GM KNOWS THIS PROBLEM EXIST AND COVERS IT UP.. I HOPE MORE ESCALADE OWNERS COME FORWARD AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. FORCING OWNERS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CLEAR THE CODE ISN'T FAIR.....

CHECK ENGINE , SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, STABLILINK AND LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON. DEALER HAS HAD THE TRUCK TRYING TO CORRECT (OR CHASE)THE PROBLEM. THEY STILL ARE COMING ON. DEALER SAYS IT MAYBE THE MOTOR

AT CRUISING SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL DISPLAY SERVICE STABILITRACK,TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL, AND REDUCING ENGINE POWER. NOT ALLOWING YOU TO GO FASTER THE 15 MPH. THIS HAPPENS ON ANY ROAD WAY.
