Just bought 05 ext which has about 1000k left on original gm warranty. Has anyone had problems that are common on any 05's that I should look for. Rides real nice on michelin LX tires so far only foglamps allowing water in.

2007 EXT bed covers leak by pmccubbin

Thet forgot to tell me that the truck bed cover panels are NOT watertight. Water gets inside whenever I wash it. Cadillac says this is how it's designed and that if stuff in the truck bed gets wet, tough. Amazing. BE WARNED

flash to pass by l71934m2

I have an early 2007 escalade and had to recently get new key fobs. When they were re-programmed the flash to pass would not work during the day when the headlight switch was set to off or auto. Cadillac says that the new ones are like this and that is the way it should have been. I know of no other cars that operate like this

This was necessary because of the nature of HID headlights. Rather than use a halogen high-beam, the system retracts a shutter over the lens of the low beam pattern.
 
Since HID's take a few seconds to ignite and come to full brightness, it isn't feasible. Secondly, repeated ignition shortens the bulb's life quickly. You don't want to be changing these bulbs out much.. $$$.
 
I believe that BMW solved this problem by keeping the HID's lit all the time (angel eyes), and the flash-to-pass feature is simply the shutter opening and closing.

Thanks for your message. The flash to pass worked fine with the switch in the auto position during the day for the first year we had the vehicle. It only changed after they reprogrammed the new key fobs. It also worked properly on the 2003 and 2004 Escalade with bi xenon lights.

Hey I have a 2000 cadillac escalade and it does the same thing. Did you happen to fix yours already. I hit the gas and it doesn't move i even changed the catalytic converters thinking it was clogged. Can anyone help me?
