I can not believe all the problems I have had with my wife's cadillac escalade. First the passenger side door handle is loose, the the battery needs to be replaced every two years, the moon roof's motor is broken, and now my BCM is out. This was a 64,999 dollar vehicle. It is only 5 years old and has less than 78,000 miles. I can not believe it and will never ever buy another cadillac again.

Just bought this truck. Had issues with the tranny shifting hard from 1-2 after driving on the freeway at 65 for about 10 minutes, but turning the ignition off for about 5 seconds resets this. Other issue is that it stalls randomly, the fuel pump AND fuel filter have been replaced, STILL stalls randomly. Other than that, its a great truck.

my truck is having one problem a little skip
