Acceleration for no reason. I was backing out of a parking spot and I put the car in reverse. I was nearing the edge of the curb on my right front wheel so I stepped on the brake, stopped the car, and shifted into drive so I could move the vehicle forward to avoid hitting the curb while backing out . Once I shifted into drive, the car went to full acceleration for no reason and hit a pole at full acceleration approximately 5 feet away.

Vehicle is no longer providing speed readout while vehicle is in motion or gauge is inoperative at random. My vehicle is 11 years old but has less than 20,000 original miles (most are highway). 19,800 to be exact. Dealer indicates gm will not authorize a fix at no cost under their special coverage adjustment #07187c. This vehicle has been well maintained and I fail to see how having simple time passage on a low mileage vehicle is cause for not backing the product. Looks like they know they have a problem and just don't want to pay to resolve the issue. They are using time passage as a way to side step correcting the issue on a part that they know to be defective. A part they know fails. A part that provides the operator with feedback so safe operation and control of the vehicle can be maintained. I do not know the speed of the vehicle when I first noticed the issue, however I was on a highway in snowy conditions. . .

I will be driving and lose all power! it does it at different speeds. Its like someone turns the car off and back on. The weird thing is it will do it alot one day and then it doesnt do it for a couple of days. It always comes back on but in traffic it could be very dangerous. I have had it put on computers and it never has showed anything. And I was reading on recalls on the ignitions and thought it could be a part oif the recall.

The contact owns a 2012 Cadillac Escalade. The contact stated that while driving in inclement weather at an unknown speed, the brakes were applied but the vehicle accelerated instead. The contact was unable to stop the vehicle and crashed into a tree. The contact did not sustain any injuries. The police were not contacted. The vehicle was later towed to a dealer where the brake sensors were replaced and the central computer was recalibrated. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure and current mileages were approximately 9,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The first two occasions of speed control failure occurred today. While traveling with the speed control set to about 65mph, the control failed to disengage when the brake was applied the first time. Upon braking a second time, it did disengage. Shortly afterwards, the control was set to about 55mph and would not disengage after repeated braking efforts. It was disengaged manually and not used since.

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) .

Driving on the i10, semis all around, driving about 65 mph. My daughter and her friend in the vehicle. All of the sudden it felt like I hit a wall. All power went out, lost all speed, when the power flickered back on, lights only no speed, all the dashboard was lite up, everything was making a sound, the vehicle kept going from d -drive to p-park, the rpm were maxed- yet no speed. At 51k I noticed the vehicle shifting hard and took it in to a Cadillac dealership, thousands of dollars later, it has continued to do the same thing, just two days ago 2-7-15, it is still doing the same thing. Many times I have been in danger of loosing my life, am not exaggerating. My vehicle has only been touched by the dealership for all of its services and repair. This vehicle is extremely unsafe for driving. I have a book of all my service record documenting the same issue over, and over. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Again. According to my research there are thousands of people experiencing the same problem, and Cadillac just sits back, probably waiting for loss of lives.

The consumer was in a parking lot driving 10 mph, when all of a sudden the car accelerated. The consumer hit a concrete slab and ripped it out of asphalt, and was up on top of it. The concrete slab was 21/2 x4 feet; the car was still accelerating very loudly. She pulled her foot away and looked and there was nothing touching the gas pedal. She put the vehicle in park and it was still accelerating; pulled the keys out and it turned off. Cadillac found carbon in the throttle body. There was no police report, because the incident happened on private property.
