The gears shift abruptly. When taking off the gears will shift hard that it feels as if something heavy is dropping in the engine. Took vehicle to dealership three times with same problem. Tomorrow will be fourth time with same abrupt shifting problem for a total of 4 times. After dealership tries to fix it it operates well for about two to three months and then the problem starts again. Also, the vehicle has lost all power twice now, battery dead, dead, dead. When attempting toturn on the lights blink quickly, multiple times but it does not have enough power to turn on. This escalade was 94,000 total and it is not a quality vehicle! rough ride with transmission kicking in so rough!!!

Transmission started slipping at 50k miles.since i am in the transportation service industry, i know many people that have transmission issues on escalades.

The transmission has multiple malfunctions.delayed shifts, hard shifts both when shifting up or down, very large clunk or hard shift when going from 2nd to first.very unpleasant transmission and multiple ways.dealer keeps telling me that the transmission is adaptive to the driver and it needs to learn habits.i have had the vehicle for over a year.sounds like a cop out to me.not very happy with gm!

Shudder / vibration between 45 - 65 mph. Cause was torque converter. 85 - 90% of vibration was mitigated. Continue to have steady vibrations 65 -70mph and above. Dealer also installed new tires / wheels and i have had a road force balance.

From a cold start, when taking vehicle out of park and into reverse, the vehicle will surge or buck prior to applying the accelerator. This happens about 1/4 of the drive time. When accelerating and then coming to a coast and back to accelerating, the car will buck.this happens about 1/2 of the drive time. From a cold start, reverse, drive, accelerate to 1mph while making a slight right turn out of my driveway, the vehicle bucks.this happens about 3/4 of the drive time.

Vacuum pump deterioration or failure caused reduced stopping of vehicle. Backed up vehicle in driveway and could not stop until i pumped brake petal several times. And finally stopped. Placed vehicle in neutral and set hand brake. I checked accelerator and stop petals for obstruction and found none. Placed vehicle in drive and slowly moved forward. Applied brakes about ten foot from wall and vehiclestruct brick wall between garages. Could not stop vehicle with the brakeapplied. Damage to garage $14,940 and vehicle $4,984.

06/14/2019 i was driving my cadillac to escalate esv traveling from baltimore to washington dc 95 south band.12:04 pm my vehicle flip over. I almost lost my life.after the accident, i inspected the vehicle. I found that left the rear wheel of the car; come out of the vehicle. Wheel locks and axle bar of the tire cut off and broken. This caused flipping of the vehicle.

Front right and left upper control arms are bad and eating my tires from inside. I went to get my alignment done but my mechanic told me the front right and left upper control arms are bad and he can not do the alignment and then i went to the cadillac dealershipbut they said everything is goodbecause on that time i already had 49,540 miles on the vehicle and they are waiting forthe50000 miles so they can tell me you are out of warranty and you have to pay for that.

Almost every vehicle that has a key fob will shift into park and shutoff the engine if you are stopped and press the engine stop button.my car does not and i have exited my car on 3 occasions thinking it was shut off (engine is too quiet) and my car started driving away with no one at the wheel.the worst time is when i pulled over to help a stranded motorist and my car took off across a busy intersection - luckily another motorist got out of their car and stopped my car - averting a massive accident.this is a death machine waiting for a victim.gm please correct this.
