Escalade

  • 105,000 miles
GM has manufactured defects/design failures into numerous parts in my 2008 Cadillac Escalade ext. The door handles all broke off apparently because they used weak plastic parts. The engine is stalling and won't start (possibly due to cam shaft sensor and deffective cam shaft or fuel control module they did a recall on and never fixed on my car)...apparently the oil sensor goes 1st and then the cam shaft and oil pressure issues come next...but this is caused by a defective cam shaft in the 1st place...very dangerous and bound to leave you stranded or cause an accident! as for steering, the power rack & pinion is designed to start leaking requiring a new $450+ part plus labor to put in as there is no way to stop the power steering leakage...finally, the head lights go out and GM could not have made it any harder to replace them nor more expensive- requiring front bumper removal and usually a result of their defective waterproofing of the light and ballast! (I put 1/19 below but these problems have developed over the last year of so right around the 100,000 mile marker)
