#11 of 223 2002 front suspension noise by pescado2 Jan 14, 2003 (2:15 pm)
I have an early 2002 Escalade 2wd with a noisy front end. Purchased new in August 2001, my vehicle is used as my wifes station wagon. It has never seen hard or off-road use, yet I get a clunk from the front end at low speed maneuvering. I have taken it to the dealership three times for this. Sounds like its in the left front suspension. Column has been tightened, suspension has been lubed and retorqued, steering column support e7638 has also been replaced...any one else with this problem?

#12 of 223 My 2003 Escalade caught on FIRE, on the inside!! by rozupchurch Apr 17, 2003 (11:16 am)
Please, if anyone has had or heard of this problem contact me immediately, RozUpchurchaol.com   The heated seat inside my BRAND NEW 2003 Escalade caught on fire as I was driving. The fire department said that it had to have been smoldering for many days! I also noticed that the drivers heated seat is unusually hot. I am afraid to put my toddlers back in the car, repaired or not.
#13 of 223 PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM by espinoza30 May 03, 2003 (7:39 am)
Hello, I have a 2002 escalade with about 16000, and the parking brake is out. I was told it needed rear shoes. I am a master technician with infiniti, have been a technician for 14 years. I had never heard of a parking brake go out so soon,(unless it was left on while driving). I declined to have the work done and I am seeing if anyone has had the same problem. I would like to see if there is a problem with these shoes, and fight warranty.

Reply to message #5: Mine does the same and Cadillac admits to the problem but states that there is no fix at this time. I am presently persuing the state lemon law.
#15 of 223 Steering noises by briles Jul 10, 2003 (10:14 am)
I have a 2003 Escalade. Been in shop 3 times for noises underneath during turning. Now makes noise inside at steering column. Dealer said some models were not lubed properly. They re-did and it helped for a week, makes noise again. also, steering wheel does not rotate back after a turn, it stays. Dealer said they all do that and nothing they can do. Very dangerous when making steering maneuvers. We are reviewing lemon law.
#16 of 223 DVD Navigation clock missing by erosenbrg Jul 11, 2003 (2:41 pm)
When my wife and I test drove the 2003 Cadillac Escalade, the DVD Navigation System had a clock in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Yet once we took delivery, the clock had disappeared! Despite reading and re-reading the manual, calling the dealer, and trying to find online tech support, we have not been able to restore this clock! Since the Bulgari clock absolutely sucks, we really would like this clock to show up again! Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?? THANKS FOR ANY HELP! Send any advice to ERosenb510aol.com

#18 of 223 Trans clunk..... by marxauto Sep 17, 2003 (12:28 pm)
I just purchased a 2003 EXT. It also clunks just before stopping. Did it from 1st day I received. Had only 12 miles on it. Tokk to dealer & demanded a different vehicle. They have run thru thier arbitration system. Service manager (very nice) checked out with tran. tech. He agreed with me that it is not what you would expect to get in a 50,000 dollar + vehicle. They have a service bulletin covering this issue. Bottom line says this is a normal condition & no repair is required. Am supposed to hear Friday the verdict, repair, replace or do nothing...better be replace. Am seriously considering getting my attorney involved. Vehicle has done this with only 12 miles on & its getting louder as time goes on, have 600 miles on it now. Anyone else having a problem with an positive resolution? My email address is: marxautoaol.com. Thanks Steve
#19 of 223 Transmission Clunk by tgrimaldi Sep 21, 2003 (5:53 am)
Slowing down at 15 mph hear two clunks. Like many of you Caddy says it's normal. My attorney says I'd lose using the lemon law but might win using the Caddy name against them. After all, It's a Caddy, It's 50,000+ and you don't expect to have that kind of problem for the money or the name.
#20 of 223 Goodbye Escalade by briles Oct 28, 2003 (2:16 pm)
I have a 2003 Escalade that I have had suspension problems, steering wheel noises and the steering wheel won't rotate back after making a turn. Been in the shop 7 times, I called Cadillac Corporation and they called me today to say the steering wheel problem is the way it is designed, no fix for problem. Because the noises don't occur every time I drive it, they can't fix. So!! I am trading the thing in this week! I hated it!
