Escalade

  • 194,500 miles
Vehicle stalled out in very heavy traffic in both Maryland, and Indiana while I was on vacation. This occurred on a major highway in both occasions that was packed with traffic.this incident could have easily resulted in a major accident that could have been harmful to both me and my family. This incident happened on 2 occasions, July 16th 2016 and July 22nd 2016.dealership at first could not find the problem as was the case with the first Cadillac dealership in bethesda Maryland. The 2nd dealership took a week to create, identify, and hopefully repair the problem. Replacing fuel pump ended up being the call. $1005 dollars later I certainly hope that this fixed the problem. This indeed is a huge safety concern as it does not show any warnings it just stalled out.

Escalade having same issues as everyone else. Oil pressure due to poor build and cut backs on General Motors behalf. A unit with a price up words of $70-$80K should not have the issues. We as the customers and the victims should not pay the price and our own lives (families lives) for a companies selfishness. Passenger seat control module burnt due to yet another faulty GM product. They seam to not care and want to fix the issues that can again lead to harm to anyone in and around the vehicle. I still own this vehicle but it has been a utter disgrace of what kind of products we have been sold. To this day would like to know why the company recalls parts that would cost them nickels and dimes and not the major items that can lead to disasters like death. For crying out loud they replaced my de others dash...(dash). So replace a plastic dash that has no harm what so ever and oh don't mined if you truck catches on fire do to faulty modules. Shame how GM has let a company like Toyota who actually listens to the costumes seem like a more patriotic company and keeps their customers safe on the roads. Thank you for your time, now it's time for action. I still drive the truck everyday and pray I don't die every time.

After driving the car on highway with no issues car will stall out approaching lights, stop signs or slowing down or letting off gas pedal.has happened 8-9 times in last week. No warning lights or idling issues that would warn us of the issue. Changed battery, crankshaft sensor, cleaned throttle body, fuel filter, and changed oil.

Escalade 8-cyl

  • 42,000 miles
Noticed excessive exhaust fumes inside the car while at idle during stops. All windows up during winter season driving. Inspected exhaust system for leaks. Noticed exhaust manifold bolts on both sides of engine missing and subsequent leaks at each exhaust port with missing bolts. Noticed excessive rusting and corrosion of exhaust manifold and bolts. This seems to be caused by a metal defect creating premature corrosion of exhaust manifolds and bolts. Intern, causing exhaust leaks and excessive amounts of exhaust gases under hood an in the cabin. This is a major safety concern to me and my family. Please investigate.
