Front shocks had to be replaced on our Cadillac 2015 Escalade. Right Front shock was leaking oil at 81K miles, repair 26 March, Red Noland Cadillac, CO. Informed service associate at the time, and then worked with the Service Manager after that. The Service Manager informed me of the GM service number I could call 1-800-333-4233 for customer service/good will request. At that number, Julia with GM stated the call needed to be done PRIOR to the repair, supervisor assist was requested but not made available. I've owned several GM products, and appreciated the quality and responsiveness to service issues. I hope GM can do better, and restore my faith in GM quality. During BBB process, GM avoided the issue(s) of their maintenance process and the shock absorber being outside of normal failure rates. Shocks failing/leaking oil at this age are well outside 'normal' expectations and points to a recall issue.

I had my 2015 Escalade esv in the shop for a software upgrade and was informed that both my radiator and front struts were leaking. My truck has 40,677 miles on it. The dealer quoted me 1,532 for the radiator and 1,822 for the front struts.

My front struts froze up when they did it pulled to the left on to oncoming traffic, my wife was driving. My vehicle has 57100 miles on it and when looking into the problem I found I'm not the only one. GM knows there is a problem with the suspension and is doing nothing to correct the problem. I am very disappointed in the really expensive vehicle. Can you please look into it thanks

I bought this vehicle in 2017. Around late October 2018, at about 60,000 miles I noticed the ride became very bouncy. I am being told by the dealership that 3 shocks and struts are bad and have to be replaced on a vehicle that is 3 years old. I could maybe understand if 1 was bad, but 3 going bad this quickly does not add up. I've never heard of a vehicle have 3 bad shocks and struts this quickly and can only surmise there is a defect with the product.

My 2015 Cadillac Escalade has been in the shop for 130+ days in the first calendar year for defective brakes, transmission, suspension, electrical, and HVAC. I have contacted GM and they don't want to repurchase the vehicle. The vehicle is constantly in the shop for problems and it is not a vehicle that should be operated on public roadways. The transmission has been replaced once before due to defects in design and build quality. The transmission how causes the car to take off in 4th gear rather than in 1st gear which means the car feels as if there is no power to propel the vehicle. The transmission slips and feels as if it is broken. I have taken it to the dealer at least 5 times and GM now does not want to replace the transmission even though the dealer has verified the concern and documented it. I feel that GM is not doing enough to ensure safe vehicles are on the road. This transmission issue is going to cause an accident one day. I have already put GM on notice all the way up to the executive level and they don't want to do anything about it. I feel that NHTSA should investigate the issues that plague 2015 full size GM SUV owners. There are a lot of us out there according to my research.
