Had my Escalade esv in several times for service on the transmission, at 122,000 my 3rd and overdrive band broke leaving me stranding in gilroy California, not a bad place really nice people. Wrote a letter to the chairman of gm, received a phone call from someone named amy, and here is the dialogue: I am sorry this happen we can't do anything, no wonder gm is losing market share.

I stopped at the post office with my 14 year old daughter. I put the Escalade in park with the emergency brake on in a parking lot. The vehicle was running with my daughter in it. A lady next to my car said she heard the vehicle make a noise and popped out of park and into reverse. The Escalade was making grinding noise from the emergency brake as it was backing up. The vehicle backed into a parked car.

My 2002 cadilliac Escalade has had a serious problem with the throttle body and power train for two years I have been taking it to the dealer and they have been negligent in informing me of this recall and I have asked them about this problem on several occasions what can I do about this.

Problem was noticed in 5/05 when key was turned on, no light came on regarding the stability control function. Was put on diagnostics, but no error code showed. Owner manual stated the light will come on briefly when starting the vehicle, then disappear. If the light does not go on, then stability control function may need service. The entire electric system failed in April, when radio, and other electric functions failed. Also, the low psi light did not illuminate when the tire went flat. This happened after the repair of electric system. Transmission failed, and had to be replaced. There was several bulletins regarding the stability control and electric systems, but dealer denied any problem with the stability control.

1st incident 1) I was going to park in a spot between two building, only large enough for one vehicle. I came down the road, which has a decline to it, and turned right, into the parking spot. Due to the road being 1 way, and the parking spot being tight, it is impossible to turn the vehicle directly into the parking spot. I turned the vehicle and had to back up to go straight into the parking spot. I pressed the brake, shifted into reverse, and pressed the gas pedal. Meanwhile, a lady walked in front of my vehicle on the sidewalk. 2) the vehicle rolled forward, even though the rpms were at approximately 2200 rpms and the vehicle was in reverse. I hit the brake, but the vehicle had already hit the lady. She was fortunately fine, and continued on her way. 3) I took the vehicle to the dealership, where they told me it was working within in design parameters. They said there was nothing more that could be done. I called Cadillac customer care, and informed them of the problem. They also said at the time there was nothing they could do, and chalked it up to a fluke. 2nd incident 1) I parked in a parking lot again with a decline. About 2 feet in front of the vehicle was a cement post. I came out, started the truck, pressed the brake, and shifted into reverse. 2). I pressed the gas, the rpms were over 2000 rpms, and the vehicle once again did not reverse but rather rolled forward into the cement post, cracking my front bumper. After that, the reverse engaged and the truck started reversing. 3). The dealership currently has the vehicle, and is telling me to come pick it up, even though they have done nothing to fix this problem. I asked what it was going to take before they did something, and they said there is nothing they can do. I have called Cadillac customer care again, left 3 messages, and still ahve not heard back. I am concerned about the liability of driving this vehicle at this point.

While driving at 65 mph, smoke started to come out from the back and side of the vehicle. The consumer noticed oil splattered all over the trunk and the road when they pulled over. The vehicle was towed to a dealership, and indicated that the servo wasn't installed properly at the factory, which resulted in transmission to leak oil.

The consumer stated the vehicle could be placed in gear without the brake being applied.

The vehicle hesitates and then clunks into gear when accelerating from a full stop. I brought the vehicle to the dealership for repair but they were unable to fix the problem. They informed me that Cadillac was aware of this problem as it seems to be inherent, but as of yet they do not have a solution and I should call them back in about one month for a progress update. I hope this is true.
