Transmission problem and condenser hard to get

I had a problem with my condenser in the beginning of the summer twice and dealers told me it?s back order for 3 months I?m gonna have to stock up this winter for next summer. I had to pay $1000 after market to keep going for the summer. Transmission is kicking when changing gear at 10 miles dealer can?t figure out what?s wrong can?t fix it.

Fabulous SUV

Over the top good car and it has a full sized spare tire! That may be the most important thing. I hate run flat tires and donuts.

Good vehicle

Some high-end features (like intellibeam and lane departure warning) are not working already. The car only has 12k miles on it. Overall it's a nice ride. I enjoy driving it.

Our 3rd Escalade; by FAR the best

We had a 2006, 2010, and now a 2016 Escalade. We have really liked all of the Escalades we've had, but this is by far the best of the three. Older escalades were just nice Yukons, but this model takes the interior and exterior to a new level of quality. It works perfectly for hauling our large family to all the sports and activities, great for nights out with friends and family, and also exceptionally comfortable for long drives from Dallas to Colorado mountains. I couldn't really make a big case to take an Escalade over the Yukon Denali in the past, but this one is a no brainer... the level of quality in fit and finish is much improved over the Denali and for only a modest price increase... honestly, if you are looking at a $80,000 Denali sticker tag, it isn't a stretch for you to get into a $90,000 Escalade. And - seriously - no one pays sticker on any of these cars; we got ours for >20% off sticker. In all, super happy with the purchase and continued performance of the car.
