FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 26 TIMES IN 10 MONTHS FOR MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND HAS HAD NUMEROUS REPLACEMENT PARTS INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, NAVIGATION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, MOTORIZED GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL MOVEMENT WHILE DRIVING, FUEL TANK ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ALL OF WHICH HAS CREATED UNSAFE SITUATIONS FOR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS UNDEPENDABLE DUE TO NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH CADILLAC FOR A REPLACEMENT WITH NO SUCCESSES. IF WE CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS DIRECTED BY CADILLAC, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT FOR THE ENTIRE CADILLAC LINE AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS BRAND. *TR
