Steering Problems of Cadillac Escalade - part 2

On the indicated date my wife and I were driving from dallas, TX to ann arbor, mi. My wife was driving and we were on I-44 approx. 20 miles south of rolla, mo. At highway speed we experienced sudden and repeated loss of electrical power and related power systems. This was evidenced by door locks repeatedly clicking on and off, navigation system failure, air conditioning failure, stabilitrack failure and lack of power steering. My wife was able to control the vehicle and after several calls to onstar and the use of our cell phones we were able to locate a dealer in rolla. We ¿limped� into the dealer after experiencing several more adverse failure incidents. The dealer checked out the vehicle and could not identify the cause through running his diagnostics. He concluded that the battery was defective and replaced it allowing us to continue our trip. Unfortunately this exact same issue reoccurred on June 21, 2014 while driving at highway speeds in the dallas, TX area and again, twice, driving at approx. 40 mph in frisco, TX on June 23, 2014. The local dealer serviced the vehicle on those dates and replaced the negative battery cable. During the past several weeks I have had numerous conversations with gm customer care seeking assurances that this was a known problem and that the latest ¿fix� was going to permanently correct this safety and reliability problem. Unfortunately, I have not been satisfied that this problem has been permanently fixed. I am concerned that we will have a re-occurrence of this problem in the future.

We just wanted to alert you of a life threatening situation that occurred with our 2007 Cadillac Escalade esv, on Wednesday, July 17, 2013. I had just picked up my kids from swim practice and was pulling out of the parking lot when my steering wheel was completely disconnected from the wheels and had no ability to steer the car. . . It just freely spun around and around. Thankfully, I was able to stop the vehicle before hitting a tree and my kids and I were not injured, just very shaken. However, it was and still is very present in my mind what the outcome could have been had we been on the highway or going at a faster speed. Cadillac roadside was very helpful in getting the car towed to the dealership where we purchased the vehicle and have had all maintenance done in the past. After review of the vehicle I was told that they are really not sure what went wrong, as they had never seen anything like it. Apparently the whole front steering system is supposed to collapse in a head on collision, but for some reason it collapsed without warning or reason. Consequently, due to the steering wheel continuously spinning, it had ripped out all the power cords to the radio, air conditioning, power steering, stabilitrac, etc. The car was a disaster and at that point I had no trust in the car to ever drive it again. I had enjoyed my vehicle up to this point, but this has made me incredibly concerned about putting my family in another Cadillac vehicle.
