CADILLAC Complaints

LEFT BRAKE LIGHT REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES- UNDER AND AFTER WARRANTY, STILL NOT WORKING. CUE SYSTEM CRACKED POST WARRANTY NOT USABLE, NAVAGATION HAZZARD, BACKUP HAZZARD DOES NOT ALLOW FOR HANDS FREE DRIVING. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, SHOULD BE A RECALL AS REPLACEMENT IS VERY COSTLY AND THE PROBLEM REPEATS WITH THE REPLACEMENT ITEM CUE.

SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND CAR LOST ALL POWER. NO ABILITY TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS OR CALL FOR HELP OR ANYTHING. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED SINCE THERE WERE NO LIGHTS AT ALL ON THE CAR AND NO WAY TO TURN ON ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THANK GOODNESS THIS HAPPENED WHEN STOPPED AND NOT MOVING. I COULD NOT IMAGINE THE OUTCOME OF LOSING POWER AT SPEED WHEN EVERYTHING IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED.

HEADLIGHTS KEEPS BURNING OUT. REPLACED THEN 2 TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD IT. ENGINE KEEPS GOING OUT. BOUGHT THE CAR FOR $25,000. AND SPENT OVER $5000. ON THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, TWICE. REPLACED ALL CENTERBEARINGS WITHIN 1 1/2 YEAR. ENGINE LIGHT WON'T GO OFF. STILL CAN'T SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

THE REAR LIFT GATE OPENS RANDOMLY. PARKED IN THE GARAGE, IT OPENS. OUT SHOPPING PARKED IN A LOT AND RETURN TO CAR AND IT'S OPEN. PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, IT OPENS. IT HAPPENS WHENEVER AND WHEREVER. WHEN I NOTICE THE LIFT GATE HAS OPENED, I CLOSE IT AND CHECK IT 20 MINUTES LATER ONLY TO FIND IT OPEN AGAIN.

OUR 2016 ESCALADE WITH 20,000 MILES HAD THE TAIL PIPE CORRODE AND FALL OF THE VEHICLE. THE REAR BUMPER WAS SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE EXHAUST HEAT WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY MELTED THE BUMPER AND BACK-UP SENSORS. IF THE ISSUE WASN'T NOTICED, A MAJOR THERMAL EVENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND THE TRUCK COULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL LOSS. CADILLAC HAS REFUSED TO WARRANTY THIS ISSUE. WE ALSO HAVE A 2019 ESCALADE THAT IS SHOWING SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF CORROSION AT THE SAME WELD. I BELIEVE THIS IS 100% A DESIGN ISSUE. THE SERVICE DEALER, AUTONATION IN PALM BEACH, FL TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T WARRANTY BECAUSE I ASKED THEM TO INSTALL THE CADILLAC OPTIONAL UPGRADE EXHAUST, NOT WOULD THEY COVER ANY OF THE MELTED COMPONENTS DUE TO THE INFERIOR TAIL PIPE DESIGN. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE 2016 EXHAUST UPON FAILURE AND THE 2019 WITH THE START OF CORROSION THAT I CAN EMAIL DIRECTLY.
