#932 of 994 Escalade Engineering Stupidity by gumps Jan 08, 2007 (4:32 pm)
I just purchased an 07 Escalade. BLACK(important here). Only after purchasing it did I discover that the air conditioning vents do not point above neutral. They only point neutral to down. The Escalade is cavernous inside and heat rises to the top. When you drive the car and it's 100 outside everything above your neck up will be swelltering.   How dumb were the engineers on this one! They probably never drove the car in the middle of summer. And, yes in the southwest it gets to 100 quite frequently especially in the desert.

Replying to: tidester (Jan 08, 2007 8:38 pm) Nope. Been to the dealer. Even the dealer owner commented about it. The air vent in every other car I have owned has deflection up and down. This one only goes neutral to down:( I hope GM sees this and comes out with a retro fit to resolve this. It's going to get really hot with a Black car in the summer!

#936 of 994 Don't Sweat it by gap2006 Jan 09, 2007 (6:07 am)
Hello, Congrats on the new Escalade. Just wanted to say I think you made the right choice color wise. I have the same exact one purchased in March 06 when first released and have about 10000 miles on it. It's been flawless in every way and all the tech gadgets work the way they are supposed to. As far as climate control, I already suffered through a long heat wave with temps above 100 and the AC performed flawlessly. You can start the car remotely and by the time you get in it it will have already cooled down considerably. Once you get in and blast the AC and ventilated seats you will be pretty cold. I never even noticed to AC vents although I know what you mean. Anyway, I look forward to your feedback as to how it actually performs in your area. Good luck.

Replying to: awf_axis (Jun 13, 2006 9:04 pm) No Hybrid Hummer, but GM President said in the next few years, the hummer brand will be on Biodiesel engines.   that means all of the hummer's.

#940 of 994 And none of those by paisan Jan 17, 2007 (2:06 pm)
Are "Real" hummers, just face-lifted versions of the Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe, Colorado, or the mini-van based Equinox. Pretty sad that "Hummer" is going to base a truck off a mini-van chassis.   When I think Hummer, I'm thinking rough, tough, go-anywhere, unfortunately it's more associated with Rodeo Drive than real offroading these days.   -mike
#941 of 994 2007 ESV w/Navigation - CD problems by erniec1 Jan 18, 2007 (1:58 pm)
Hello all! I am the proud owner of a 2007 Escalade ESV w/navigation. When using the CD and moving between tracks, the CD player cuts off about the first second of the song..pretty minor. Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue. Thanks! Replies to this message: lykourinou (Dec 24, 2007 2:54 pm)
