general problems of the 2005 Cadillac Escalade

I was driving and the vehicle was acting like it didn't want to switches into the next gear. Transmission fluid was empty. Filled it up and the next day it still has the same issue.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Cadillac Escalade. The contact stated the instrument panel cluster on the gear shifter does not illuminate. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed her that there had been a recall placed on theses vehicle under NHTSA campaign number: 05v055000(power train). The contact spoke to Cadillac of new orleans 3100 lime st, metairie, la 70006 where she was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer was notified and referred her to NHTSA. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. Jo.

I purchased my car used from a dealership in 2009 and I now have the following problems with it. A check engine light that will not go out, the error states the fuel cap is not tight and no matter how much I tightened it never goes away. When fueling the car fuel will overflow if not paying attention. Also the the shift lever position is no longer illuminated so I am not sure which position the car is in most of the time I have to listen and gauge it before trying to put it in gear. I never received an communications that the car was under recall but from what I am seeing from the NHTSA website these are the problems that I am now having.

Transmission shift lever position indicator not illuminated. Gm recall # 05023. I called gm # 866-982-2339. They stated my vehicle not included in recall. Would like to know why and have the instrument panel cluster reprogramed at no charge to me. I can't tell what gear the vehicle is in and this is not safe.

While driving 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated and began to coast. The transmission active indicator light came on. Lost control of the vehicle.

The hid headlights have been blinking together on and off for no reason. Started, stopped, moving, sitting in the driveway after shut off waiting for delay lighting to turn off. The loss is momentary. It is more critical on unlit highways and side streets. They blink on and off together. The dealer was unable to repair in a 4 month window. On dry roads, from a stop, starting out at 5-20 mph active traction control turns on and the vehicle stalls. As most stops occur directly prior to intersection this is a very dangerous position to place the driver with a gas peddle that is basically inoperative because the car is in active traction mode and taking over the drive train. Dealer was unable to repair over a 4 month period. It might have been related to speed sensors in front wheels but they didn't want to replace them. They made me drive for 2 weeks with a code recorder in order to get them to do any service.
