2002 Cadillac Escalade Problems

The contact owns a 2002 Cadillac Escalade. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of fuel. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the contact was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. In addition, the contact stated that there was an abnormal scraping sound coming from the front wheel hubs on the driver’s and passenger’s side wheels. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, there was brake fluid leaking from the brake lines, causing the braking distance to be extended. The contact was provided with an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not yet repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Purchased this vehicle from a friend who was inherited from his father’s estate. He hadn’t driven the vehicle for sometime. When meeting up at the DMV to transfer ownership he noticed that the brakes were spongy. And purchased some brake fluid in case the fluid was low. Neither my friend or myself are mechanically impaired so We made the exchange of ownership and went on our way home. When we arrived my step father felt the need to investigate the issue. He discovered that every brake line under the drivers seat back approximately 24” were so rusted and soaked with brake fluid that fluid was dripping and making a puddle and was unable to pinpoint where the hole was at that time. We decided that the vehicle was too dangerous to drive, and returned to [XXX] to retrieve his trailer to bring the Escalade to his shop for safety reasons. We tried researching and did find where GM’s SUV’s did have a recall on this matter. The Cadillac is in excellent condition inside and out. The leather seats other than the drivers show no wear at all. Carpets show no wear. The exterior is in excellent shape without chips or dings. Basically a like new with 104,000. Miles which is considered low miles for its age. For our assessment of this issue that no matter the age of the vehicle, the Manufacturer should in fact take responsibility, and there for replace the brake lines, and the necessary bleeding of the system. In a timely manner as so I am able to drive it in a safe condition. Thank you Sincerely [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DURING A U-TURN, ON A 4-LANE STREET THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. I WASN'T ABLE TO STEER OR STOP. THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD AS WELL AS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CADILLAC DEALER SUGGESTED IT WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND CHANGED IT UNDER MY WARRANTY. I PICKED THE CAR UP 1 WEEK LATER AFTER BEING TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS FIXED. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND MY BREAK PEDAL BEGAN VIBRATING AND AGAIN I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND ALLOWED HIM TO TALK ME INTO KEEPING THE CAR FOR THE WEEKEND (IT WAS A FRIDAY AND NO MECHANICS WORKED THE WEEKEND). AGAIN I LEFT THE DEALER AND CAREFULLY ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. I WAS STOPPED BEHIND A CAR MAKING A LEFT TURN AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE MYSELF FROM BEHIND THE CAR BY CHANGING LANES, I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN UNLESS MOVING. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND DEMANDED THAT THEY KEEP THE CAR UNTIL FIXED. ONE WEEK LATER (THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY) I WAS CALLED TO PICK UP MY CAR AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW POWER STEERING PUMP WAS BAD AND THEY HAD REPLACED IT WITH ANOTHER NEW ONE. THIS TIME THE STEERING WHEEL WAS JERKY, AND THE BRAKES VIBRATED A LITTLE LESS THAN BEFORE. IN ADDITION, THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON AND OFF AND THE CHARGE WAS AT APPX. 9 VOLTS. I LEFT THE CAR AGAIN. THE NEXT FRIDAY I PICKED UP MY CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF ALL THE WHILE KNOWING THAT IT STILL WASN'T RIGHT. THIS TIME THE STEERING WAS LESS JERKY (BUT JERKY NEVERTHELESS) WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE FRONT END WAS CLUMPING WHEN I WENT OVER BUMPS, THERE WAS WAY TOO MUCH PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND THE CAR IS WHISTLING WHILE DRIVING AND IDLING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK ON THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2006, THE SERVICE WRITER DROVE IT AND INSTRUCTED ME TO BRING IT BACK ON MONDAY. AT THIS TIME, MY CAR IS NOT FIXED. THE CONDITION OF MY CAR HAS BECOME SUBSTANTIALLY WORSE EACH TIME I PICKED UP THE CAR. *NM

HEADLIGHTS ON SUVS ARE TOO HIGH AND LOW BEAMS ARE EFFECTIVELY HIGH BEAMS FOR DRIVERS OF REGULAR CARS. THIS MEANS THAT AT NIGHT, THE SUV LIGHTS SHINE DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES OF DRIVERS IN FRONT VIA THE REAR VIEW AND SIDE MIRRORS.
