One problem related to navigational (global positioning system) gps has been reported for the 2017 Cadillac Escalade. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2017 Cadillac Escalade based on all problems reported for the 2017 Escalade.
The vehicle has experienced premature factory paint and clear coat delamination across the main roof panel structure. This is not cosmetic weathering; it is a latent factory application defect where the clear coat chemically failed to bond to the substrate. The resulting delamination has left raw structural metal exposed, leading to rapid substrate oxidation and structural degradation of the roof panel sheet metal. The advanced delamination and corrosion have directly compromised the sealing integrity of the roof-mounted gps/emergency communication antenna and the structural integrity of the roof rack mounting tracks. Water intrusion through the compromised factory finish risks shorting out emergency telematics, causing electrical fires in the headliner, or causing a structural failure of aftermarket cargo crossbars at highway speeds, creating a severe road hazard for vehicles traveling behind me. This is a known, widespread manufacturing flaw originating from the arlington assembly plant affecting 2015-2020 gm full-sized platforms, requiring a total structural strip and repaint to resolve. General motors has issued no recall or remedy for this latent safety and structural defect.
