2012 Cadillac Escalade owner complaints

Driving normal on a city street for about one hour without any warning the vehicle started acting strange, the doors locked and unlocked, the ac& htg came on, htg&fan for the seats came on, clock blinked, navigation screen blinked on and off, the vehicle sounded as though it would accelerate and then hesitate, it did this at least 4 times, I noticed upon braking each time after the strange occurrences the vehicle appeared to run okay, but only while breaking. After this occurred for about one mile, the strange occurrences stopped and the vehicle drove as should, or at least it seemed okay. After reading some of the blog's of other 2012 escalade owners having the same problem, gm should take notice, after all the vehicles are not cheap and gm should correct it.

Issue started by having the engine cutoff or go into low power mode. Mechanic tried fining power issues, ended up replacing PCM board. Issue remained. Then oil pressure sensor check engine light came on, had a mechanic replace the oil pressure sensor and everything worked for a little while. Next low oil pressure message came up, stating to shut off engine. After reading around, the issue seems to be that the camshaft actuator is being starved of oil due to low oil pressure, that is caused by the camshaft and bearings being bad. This faulty part causes the vehicle to turn off while running, extremely dangerous! How long until someone dies? Need gm to make this right. Vehicle is under 80k miles.

While traveling on the highway the vehicle randomly lost electrical power, lights, door locks, everything and the engine upshifted into second or third gear completely on its own, then refused to accelerate. The electrics would come back on and then go off again. The electronic went completely berserk and presented a huge safety issue for my wife, children and I.

Every so often my service air bag light will appear on the dash upon starting the vehicle. I thought it could have something to do with moving the seats back and forth and a wire issue. I received a safety recall for the passenger side frontal airbag inflator shortly after this started happening. When I called about repairing the recall they said they didn't have parts available to correct this issue. I have children that ride in the front and I'd hate for this to explode while driving down the road on them or anyone for that matter. When will there be a solution? How will we know the part is available? Please fix asap!!

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 bat

My 2012 Cadillac escalade hybrid electronic power steering has failed.while driving this vehicle. A service power steering warning light has illuminated in the dash and the vehicle almost went out of control while I was on a two lane dual highway. It appears that it is a motor that is manufactured in japan that has a weak shaft that is known to breakage. The vehicle is more than difficult to try to steer. This is a very unsafe situation and has been noted to be happening in quite a number of these limited production vehicles. *tr

We have three cracks on our dash board. The car is garage kept and has never been in an accident and the cracks keep forming. We have had the car five years and every year another crack forms.

Dash on my escalade has cracked in 3 different places and poses a hazard to occupants. Dealership says they are aware of dash cracks in that model as well as others but gm refuses to recall. This appears to be a manufacture defect in material used and should be addressed asap.

Complete brake failure (brake pedal went to the floor) when exiting the freeway. Simultaneously, the check engine list, service ABS on LED screen, and red brake light illuminated and warning chimes. No previous warning or indicator lights signaling a problem. Had serviced at dealership who indicated it was caused by failing hybrid battery. After being in for service for 52 days, I retrieved the vehicle with a new battery installed. One week later, we experienced another braking issue. This time while there was some braking ability the pedal was very stiff when pressure was applied and the brakes did not function properly (I.e. They did slow the vehicle eventually but did not stop the vehicle or slow it as it should have). Brought back in for service at a different dealer who states

I hit and totaled a black man convertible I was at fault. Please help I was texting and driving. *tr
