2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE Recalls, Complaints & Safety

Truck goes into limp mode, reduced power, stuck in second gear, stabilitrak and engine lights. Took it to the Cadillac dealership and after 3100 dollars in repairs the truck is still doing it. If the high level techs can’t figure it out after 2000 in labor it’s should be a recall item.

Oil pump car shuts off while idling

Tire size 285/45r22 got into freeway this morning and the outer sidewall just separated on the lr tire no warning, tires looked good 7/32 tread left even wear and tire pressure was correct. The other tires look good on the outside but so did the one that came apart the car has tpms and the tires were never run low or had any repairs. The outside tread block at the sidewall peeled off the tire

Well driving, fuel indications went out and car started to do rough idling with poorer fuel economy. Upon inspection, wiring harness by driveshaft on the driver side got caught in the driveshaft and destroyed wiring.

Side Impact air bags did not deployed on side impact. Available for inspection. Got hit from the side and air bags did not deployed. Driver did not received protection from the crash. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Vehicle was seen by the police at the crash site. The component has not been inspected. There were no warning signs or messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. Became aware of the air bag deployment failure after the side impact crash.

Crash

The contact owns a 2008 Cadillac Escalade. The contact stated that since purchasing the vehicle, the "Service Traction Control" and "Service Stabili-trak" message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact was informed by the auction that the failure was due to the low air pressure on the driver’s side rear tire. The contact stated while exiting a parking lot, the steering wheel locked-up. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and stated that no issues were found. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated once. The vehicle was taken to another mechanic who diagnosed that the oil sensor and oil pressure switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 165,286.

I STARTED MY VEHICLE ONE AFTERNOON TO A TAPPING SOUND DINING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CHECKED MY OIL, WHICH WAS GOOD THEN SCHEDULE TO HAVE MY TRUCK LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC. HE STARTED THAT THE LIFTERS AND BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE OIL AND OTHER FLUIDS CHANGED REGULARLY SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THE MECHANIC RECOMMEND A TREATMENT THAT WOULD GIVE ME TIME TO SAVE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE REPLACEMENT OF MY ENGINE. I NOW HEAR THAT ENGINE FAILURE IS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THESE MASSIVE BILL OF A PART THAT WAS PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF. MY VEHICLE IS STILL TAPPING AND IS NOW STARTING A SLIGHT JERK WHILE DRIVING AND A DELAY WHEN STARTING UP.

REMEDY FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS TAKEN WAY TOO LONG BECAUSE OF GM FIGHTING IT. IT IS VERY UNSETTLING AND UNSAFE FEELING EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY AFFECTED VEHICLE. PLEASE REMEDY SOON!

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT WAS TREMBLING FOR A MONTH PRIOR TO THE LIGHT. THEN PEPBOYS COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. RESET ELECTRICAL PANEL. A WEEK LATER BRAKE STABILIZER LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO OCEAN CADILLAC IN MIAMI. THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING, KNOCKING AND ABOUT TO GO ON FIRE. IT LOST PRESSURE AND I CALLED INSURANCE FLATBED.. AFTER FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND $1200 LATER..

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS THE ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK AND ACCELERATED. ONLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE GRADUALLY BROUGHT VEHICLE TO A STOP WITH ENGINE STILL REVVING. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT STOPPED AND DROVE NORMAL. AFTER PARKING AND STARTING UP THE ENGINE AGAIN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AGAIN FOR A PERIOD OF 30 MINUTES. AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT FOR 2 DAYS IT RAN FINE TOT HE MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I DRIVE ON MOUNTAIN TRAILS AND ROADS WITH STEEP CLIFFS SO NO FUN FIGHTING THIS BIG TRUCK UP AND DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, NOT TO MENTION MY BRAKES WERE BURNING UP

I HAVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT GM SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM! I'VE WRITTEN TO GM AND RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE FROM "CUSTOMER SERVICE" WHO TOLD ME THAT CADILLAC SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY AIR BAGS. IN THE MEANTIME MY CAR HAS A RECALL WHICH HAS REFLECTED IN SUCH A LOW TRADE IN VALUE THAT I CAN'T EVEN SELL MY CAR. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON THAT SAYS TO "SERVICE AIR BAGS" AND CADILLAC WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $1300 TO "SERVICE" THE AIR BAGS THEY WON'T REPLACE. SINCE WE LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHERE IT'S HOT AND HUMID, THE CONDITIONS MAKE IT EVEN MORE LIKELY THAT THE PROPELLANT CAN DEGRADE AND IF DEPLOYED CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. AND SINCE BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE ELDERLY AND DISABLED, THIS CAUSES EVEN MORE CONCERNS.

WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST 5=6 YEARS THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE DEFECTIVE. AFTER MANY CALLS WITH THE SAME ANSWER WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE ARE TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT NO REMEDY. WE RECENTLY TRIED TO SELL THE CAR BUT SINCE IT HAD THE AIR BAG PROBLEM, THE VALUE WAS GREATLY IMPACTED. IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB AND NO ONE AT CADILLAC OR GMC CARES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

BEEN TOLD FOR 5 YEARS THEY CAN NOT FIX THE FAULTY AIRBAGS.

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)

THE AIR BAG IS FAULTY, HENCE AIR BAG LIGHT
