Owned a 2005 escalade for 4 years it dropped 2

Owned a 2005 escalade for 4 years it dropped 2 transmissions during that time and air ride went out! Put conventional shocks instead of air ride and it was good, 2nd escalade is 2011 I have now and it also dropped a transmission and air ride but now I cant put conventional shocks this time around as GM made it so you need the air ride so almost 3k later for new air ride! Door's sometimes dont open from in or out of the vehicle, rims leak air like they got holes in them, I have to put air in all the tires every morning before I can to go work! The interior is cheap plastic that cracks on hot days! Arm rests in the back seats break and collapse when used so they are broken also! Horrible on gas and repair costs are way to much! To be honest most GM products I feel are made to fall apart quickly and will NEVER buy GM again!

Great car

Great car.Second owner and I’ve had for five years now I’ve had for five years now. Truck has 195,000 miles and is still running strong. Some of the sensors are acting quirky and I have to take it up to Cadillac for them to look at but otherwise the truck has been fine. Keep all the scheduled maintenance going. Transmission is shifting a little hard at times when cold. But the truck is 9 years old now. I will be purchasing another one.

Most luxurious vehicle ever

My 2011 Escalade Platinum is absolutely a dream come true. I can't express how amazing this vehicle is. The only bad thing about it is the gas mileage. Expect about 10 mpg.

We really enjoy driving this vehicle

This SUV met all our needs and is very comfortable when taking long trips. Grandchildren like that there is a DVD player for those long trips too.

Makes a statement of style, power and beauty.

Plenty of room in front 4 seats for passengers. Third row seats 3 but made for short legged people. Love the style, the comfort and tons of features. Power everything and even heated steering wheel.
