While driving i leaned back on the seat and the lower left front of seat pulled up abruptly, it caused me to almost have an accident. When i checked out what had happened , the seat track that attaches the bottom of the seat to the glide rails pulled through the bolt and snapped off. I have contacted gm about replacement , they said they will get back to me . The part needs to be replaced with a new one.
While driving my cadillac escalade (yr. 2000) to a business meeting the heated driver seat was on and burned through the leather and burned me as well.i had to do an emergency pull off on the shoulder of the road in order to avoid getting burned severely.i almost wrecked my vehicle into oncoming traffic because the heat was so intense that i had to lift by bottom off the seat while driving approximately 35-45 miles per hour.i took my vehicle directly to the dealership to have it looked at and they stated that they have never seen a heated seat get that hot before on any vehicle type.the service department explained that the cause was a short in the heater but a short is supposed to automatically turn of the heater.they estimated the heater got up to 140-150 degrees in order for it to burn the leather seat.i contacted cadillac to see if there was a recall on the seat and they stated they had no recalls on 2000 cadillac escalades for the heated seats.i simply requested for them to cover the cost of replacing the seat but they stated that my warranty and contract did not cover that type of malfunction.now i am afraid for any of all the other heated seats (passenger and back seats) to be turned on.

Occasionally when applying the brakes, the brakes lock up and the car begins to slide.this started a few months after buying the car -- it was returned to the dealer -- this has happened over and over again-- examples:braking suddenly on rough road ("the washboard effect"), braking on wet pavement while driving slowly through a mall parking lot - braking after leaving a car wash -- braking at a stop sign, braking suddenly anytime -- naturally this is very scary -- i do not want anyone (husband, children) to drive the car except myself as i have become attuned to the problem and am constantly aware that it might happen -- i have repeatedly taken the car to the dealer (i have the forms) my husband also had a meeting with the owner, john skinner -- they adjust the brakes and then tell me that i will just have to live with the problem - -i am aware of others who have had this same problem -- i was wondering if a recall might be a possiblity -- we have kept all the records where we have taken the car back repeatedly with this same problem-- the last time i went, they actually charged me to adjust the brakes (although this really doesn't help -- within a few days it had happened again) --i was told that cadillac was aware of this problem and it had been fixed on the newer models of escalades- now my original dealer has sold the cadillac part of his dealership and i am going to have to deal with a new owner -- i would appreciate any help or feedback you could give me on this matter.i live out on a lake and have to drive my child into school and activities several times a day and purchased the car to be a safe mode of transportation for us.thank you.
