Cadillac Escalade ESV ignition failure with steering wheel lock due to anti-theft feature activation on Cadillac Escalade ESV

Some Cadillac Escalade ESV owners report experiencing ignition failure due to the activation of the anti-theft feature, which can result in a no-start condition and an illuminated security light. These issues may stem from a malfunctioning anti-theft system or a need to replace the ignition switch. Additionally, owners have noted problems such as a locked steering wheel, worn-out keys, malfunctioning release buttons, faulty ignition locks, or low battery issues that can complicate key-related operations. In instances where the steering wheel is locked and unresponsive, it may be caused by a stuck key, improper gear selection, or a worn key. While getting a new key cut can often resolve wear-related issues, a faulty ignition switch may necessitate more extensive repairs and additional costs.
