If your Cadillac Escalade has recurring problems that won’t go away, it may be considered a lemon.
Under the California Lemon Law, a lemon is a vehicle with recurring problems that will not go away, despite a reasonable number of repair attempts by authorized repair facilities. These problems must negatively impact the use, safety or value of your vehicle.
Many owners and lessees of Cadillac Escalade vehicles report problems that do just that. Learn more about common problems that 2013–Present Cadillac Escalade, owners and lessees report in their vehicles. If one of these problems repeatedly appear in your Cadillac Escalade, you may need to talk to a lemon law attorney about your case.
Brake Problems
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received multiple complaints from Cadillac Escalade owners and lessees for recurring brake problems that could compromise their safety.
Some Cadillac Escalade drivers report that the braking distance has gotten longer in their vehicles. Other reported problems include hard braking, issues with brake master cylinders, brake fluid leaks and nonfunctional emergency brakes.
If your Cadillac Escalade has brake problems, take it to your local dealership or authorized repair facility to have the problem addressed.
Engine Problems
If your Check Engine Light illuminates on your dashboard, it may be time to investigate your vehicle for engine problems.
Cadillac Escalade owners and lessees have reported engine problems such as hard shifting, jerking, shaking and shuddering, and hesitation while driving – all of which can be signs of a lemon. Reduced engine power can also be a common sign of an engine problem. These vehicles’ engines can also have cooling problems, which increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
Transmission Problems
Lemon law cases often involve vehicles with recurring transmission problems, and defective Cadillac Escalade vehicles are no exception.
Common complaints regarding the Cadillac Escalade’s transmission include reports of jerking, bumps and shakes, hard shifting, shuddering, jerking, hesitation and transmission failure. If these transmission problems in your Cadillac Escalade do not get resolved within a reasonable number of repair attempts, your vehicle may be considered defective under the California Lemon Law.
Electrical Problems
When electrical systems malfunction in your Cadillac Escalade, resulting problems may be unpredictable for drivers and passengers alike.
According to complaints submitted to NHTSA, parking sensors may randomly go off, drivers could experience problems with adaptive cruise control, and Cadillac Escalade vehicles may fail to start. Electrical defects could diminish your Cadillac Escalade vehicle’s use, safety or value. If you suspect your vehicle has electrical defects, you may want to consult a lemon law attorney about your situation.
Steering Problems
Any steering problem can make your vehicle difficult to control and unsafe to drive.
Your steering wheel can become difficult to operate if the wheel seizes, the vehicle loses power steering, if the steering column is faulty, or if your vehicle experiences other driving problems. If you have brought your Cadillac Escalade to your local dealership or authorized repair facility for repairs, and your vehicle’s problems were not resolved within a reasonable number of attempts, contact a lemon law attorney to discuss your legal options.
