The steering was very hard to turn.then the power steering fluid was leaking. brakes are locking up. but right before all that happened the airbag light went off. its never been hit or hit anything. the truck was purchased in nov.2012. we got a carfax with the vehicle, it was clean, i looked for recalls and 4 appeared, i also called cadillac, spoke to a dealer and the woman said my vin number has never been recalled, i stated it was in 2004 it was recalled and all the things it was recalled for was what was happening now..at times it was making a noise shifting from park to drive. *tr
On july 16th, 2005; i was involved in a life changing, single vehicle auto accident. i struck a hill with the front right side of the vehicle with enough excessive force to flip this cadillac escalade head first. the escalade flipped twice, impacting the front of the vehicle and landing up side down. astonishingly, out of the four air bags in this vehicle, not one of them deployed. i purchased this 2004 escalade brand new and at the time of the accident it only had 15,000 miles. the vehicle is a total loss and it is utterly unbelievable that the air bags did not deploy. i was so impressed with the raved reviews, consumer reports including safety features, and stylish body that this cadillac escalade became the vehicle of my dreams. needless to say, i am very disappointed with my cadillac experience. i do not trust this vehicle enough to get into another one. i know that i am only here because god decided the spare my life. as a direct result of this accident i frequently suffer severe migraines, dizzy spells, blurred vision, memory loss, and anxiety/panic attacks all which keep me from sleeping. it is extremely difficult to commute from doctors appointments and work for fear of another accident. the next week i had severe chest, shoulder and lower back pains; all of which i am being treated for on a regular basis. i also seek treatment from a neurologist for the head injury. i believe that this vehicle has a serious problem with the air bags and gm should strongly consider investigating this matter. *nm
