Latches/locks/linkage Problems of Cadillac Escalade

This vehicle has a recurring locking problem that cannot be diagnosed or corrected by the dealer. The vehicle randomly locks or unlocks while either parked or moving creating a serious safety concern, particularly when the vehicle unlocks itself while moving. We have taken this vehicle to the dealer on four (4) different occasions to correct this locking defect without success. This vehicle has been at the dealership for a total of 45 days during 2012 on account of this random locking issue. The service manager at the dealership tells us that this defect is not an isolated issue with our Escalade, as others are experiencing this same unresolved problem, according to both his own experience and his conversations with the Cadillac technical support personnel. . We have contacted the Cadillac customer assistance center about this locking issue, to no avail. They simply deny the problem because it cannot be replicated at the dealership. They refuse to open their data base to us regarding this problem. Perhaps your agency has more clout in making their data base transparent with regard to this safety issue.

Second lemon from the texas plant. First was 07 GMC yukon with massive electrical problems. This new Cadillac, also made in arlington, has had several issues with the same rear pass door, door latch, window seals and warped door frame. After multiple trips to dealer the problem still exists. Both auto running board motors have needed replacing and parts have been changed out several times. After a few thousand miles all 8 lifters in the engine needed replacing and now the truck is sluggish and "out of sync". The air conditioner went out after a few hundred miles and required an entire new hvac system, new hoses, mounts, vents etc. The front pass leather seat needed replacement because of poor quality. The paint in several areas has flaked and has been to the body shop three x's for paint repair. Gm has been forced to take it back under the lemon law in calif. Back to back problems from the texas plant on separate gm products, both brand new and driven less than 10,000 miles per year. Never buy anything built in the texas plant, there seems to be big issues there.

2007 Escalade tail gate came open on its own all cargo spilled onto the street . The car was in gear moving thru an intersection. This has happened once, then I stopped driving the vehicle I contacted cad they did not seem too interested or concerned because vehicle has 60k miles and is out of warranty.

I have a Cadillac Escalade 2007 awd. It has 70,000 miles on it and the chrome plated interior door handles have peeled off exposing sharp edges. Both the passenger and the driver interior door handles have exposed sharp edges. Through normal use, the chrome has peeled. There has been no abuse to them. These sharp edges have cut my finger once and also passenger fingers on three occasions. The cut is worse than a paper cut. They average about 1. 5 inches. Nothing has been done to correct the failure as I am out of bumper to bumper warranty.
