1 Battery problem of the 2003 Cadillac Escalade

Failure Date: 12/15/2010

The battery in my Escalade had been dying on me for a while. One day, my gauges all stayed stuck as if I was driving on the freeway. I drove it for a while until I was tired of jump-starting it almost everyday and I finally replaced the battery. The gauges all stayed the same. A few days went by and the battery started to die again. I realized that this was more than just a battery problem. I drove it 5 miles away from my place on the freeway and as I was coming back home it started to decelerate all on it's own. It marked "system stability disabled" and would not let me go over 25 mph. I have not driven it since November and would like to know what is going on with this. I read about a recall but this problem was supposed to be fixed since 2002 when the recall notice was sent out. As I have read the descriptions on what people's problems with this same type of vehicle was, I notice that it is exactly what is going on with my vehicle. (bcm recall 2002 #02066) .

2 Battery problem of the 2007 Cadillac Escalade

Failure Date: 07/04/2009

To whom it may concern: we will never own another gmac Cadillac (company name: mcginnis) vehicle. We leased this vehicle in March, 2009 and we have been having problems since we owned this vehicle. I fear for my life and my familys lives riding in this 2007 Cadillac Escalade SUV. Gmac and mcginnis have created an undue hardship and fear for my familys lives. Yes, we fear for our lives as a family when we are in this vehicle; it is not certain if we will make it back home. Gmac and mcginnis Cadillac dealership knew that this vehicle had electrical problems from the outset but didn't notify us of these problems until September of 2008 putting me and my family lives in further danger as well as to my house if this car would catch a fire; this 2007 Cadillac Escalade SUV was housed every night in my enclosed garage. As stated from their safety recall memo dated September, 2008. "a short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer heater may overheat the control circuit ground wire. This may cause other electrical features to malfunction, create an odor, or cause smoke. In rare cases, it may cause a fire. " it is clearly stated in their recall memo that this vehicle "may cause a fire". Gmac and mcginnis Cadillac dealership knew that this vehicle was unsafe to drive and everyone in my family fear for their lives when they are in this vehicle. As can be seen from my attached documents including the transaction history for this vehicle, we have been experiencing electrical problems since we owned this vehicle and neither mcginnis Cadillac dealership nor levi Cadillac dealerships have been able to resolve these problems. Gmac was correct in stating that the electrical problem will cause other "electrical features to fail" as can be shown from their transaction history and my summary of their transaction history including my invoices of repairs: 1. Battery was replaced six times 2. Air conditioning hvac control module was replaced 3. All ciga.
