Replying to: keg97 (Feb 15, 2008 6:13 pm) As far as Nissan fixing the brake problems? They went to larger rotors, but not sure they fixed the ABS & Vehicle skid control problems. Even if they did, I would never trust my childrens life in a vehicle made by a company who brought such an unsafe vehicle to market without testing it first. Even when the dealerships all knew they had a problem, the factory acted like "what brake problem" Surely Mercedes, Toyota, even Ford would not do that. Infinity had similar brake problems on one of the sedan lines recently. I'm glad you like yours, but I would suggest checking the brakes with every oil change.

Replying to: badinfinity (Feb 15, 2008 6:45 pm) Different engines- yes Different suspension settings- I would imagine. Same basic truck- yup Sorry, but most of what you are stating as fact are merely opinions. And this is a person who looked hard at the Escalade and considered the Denali. I really wanted to like the Escalade and it does have some great qualities to it. But to say that it is not directly related to the Silverado/Tahoe/Yukon is a gross misstatement. Car and Driver's Road Test of the Escalade in May 2006: Of course, Cadillac wants us to look past any perception of pandering to the 15-minutes-of-fame folks and look at vehicle virtues. Of which there are many — for a vehicle of this type. The foundation, for example, is the new GMT900 full-size SUV and truck platform, a whole order of magnitude stiffer than its predecessor — 49 percent improved in torsional rigidity, according to Cadillac. Furthermore, Car and Driver compared several luxo SUVs in Oct 2006 and guess what. The 2006 QX beat the new 2007 Escalade. The QX was the top rated "true" SUV behind the Q7 and the GL450. That was the older QX with the crappy interior beating the brand new Escalade. Thoughts?

There are many great full size SUVs on the market. Retrospectively the QX56 and Escalade have had there share of issues. Over the next few months it will be interesting to report any issues that people are having with the QX, escalade, and even seqouia. With many changes to all these vehicles, many old problems should be resolved. By the way, I have a QX56. We traded in the older model of the sequoia. Had a tahoe prior to the sequoia.

Replying to: keg97 (Feb 16, 2008 4:01 am)  So he was duped by the Caddy salesperson ...the same way he was duped by his Infiniti dealer's service department! And to say that Nissan has a long history of problems, oh brother Everyone here is entitled to their opinion, and I respect that other people here may not agree with mine, but when I offer up something as possibly "fact", I'll always say "I think" or "I'm not sure, but". It's obvious that badinfinity's sole purpose here is to tell the world over and over about his bad experience with the QX. And when somebody here had the "audacity" to say they like their QX, he accuses them of being a Nissan employee. I, for one, am not going to let him hijack this thread, and I know many others here agree...

| Once an individual has a bad experience with a vehicle, I can understand the negative feedback. I was quite disappointed with quality issues with my tahoe including the dash melting and recurrent suspension problems. I saw the escalade at the local car show and was quite impressed when I sat in this vehicle. My problem was flashbacks to the tahoe. The new limited seqouia we test drove was also a great SUV, but concerned about a new model the first year out. When we compared adding the extras to the seqouia vs, standard features on the QX56, we chose the QX. I was concerned about prior problems with the QX, but only time will tell if all the issues are resolved. | |

Replying to: badinfinity (Feb 15, 2008 5:53 pm) I felt like I got ripped off when they offered me less than trade in on my QX, but I watched it languish on their lot and they eventually lowered the price to what they gave me for it. That made me feel better about the low trade in value - I'm sure they lost money on it.
