Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In all videos I checked for issues with the heated and cooled seats I saw that one of the connectors to the circuit board we're starting to melt the connector. Upon removing mine, the same issue is shown and could potentially be fatal if it continues to melt and catch fire.”
NHTSA complaint #11208916, filed 2019-05, 131,000 miles“Heated seats not working. After doing some research online I found out that Escalade's are prone to melted wire connections on the ccsm under the passenger seat. Mine has the exact same problem as described by many other Escalade owner's. Why has this not been recalled? This could pose a very serious interior fire risk.”
NHTSA complaint #10683373, filed 2015-02, 134,000 miles“Heated steering wheel burned a whole through leather and caused a burn on my finger. Steering wheel heater no longer works since incident. Heated driver seat no longer works after smelling burning in car. Found melted/burned connector under passenger side seat where the heated seat module is located.”
NHTSA complaint #10668413, filed 2014-12, 130,000 miles“Heated front seats not working. The problem with this, is that the connector that attaches to the climate control seat module (ccsm) (which is located under the front passenger seat), overheats to the point that the connector has melted. I believe that this is a fire hazard and Cadillac should look into fixing it. From all the posts on this subject in the Cadillac owner's forums there are alot of owners having the same problem and concerns.”
NHTSA complaint #10560880, filed 2014-01, 69,980 miles“Takata recall---2007 Cadillac Escalade, stability light control comes on and off. Also triggers my engine light to stay on. Traction control light stays on as well. I have replace the timing chain, cam shaft, oil pressure sensor, new shocks, new compressor, and I keep the oil changed. Even the Cadillac dealer has went thru and thru this vehicle replacing all this stuff and thousands of dollars later, to still doing the same thing and they even said they have no clue of why it keeps doing this. …”
