r/cadillacescalade

I drive a ton, 50K miles in 18 months on this Escalade. It's a great car and I'll miss the hands free driving, but has anyone made this jump and been happy with their Raptor R?

I started testing my escalade today for the parasitic draw that killed the battery. Battery Voltage is fine, 12.2v resting and 14.7v with alternator on. I did the entire test on the main under hood fuse box. My multimeter reading was 0.071A (indicating a slight draw). Pulled all the fuses, nothing changed it (radio made it drop to 0.068 amps).

Now for the next fuse location inside the car, i latched the door with a screwdriver but dome light stayed on. I turned the dome light off with the button and now ampage reads 0.037A with the door open (dome light off) and hood open.

Starting to get confused because obviously 0.037 is the perfect range we want to be in, indicating no draw.

Please all help is appreciated!

I bought a brand new 2026 Escalade Sport about 3 weeks ago. Ever since, it's been a complete headache. The rear and front bumper both became misaligned within the first week of driving, which I was told "is very common" and is under warranty. I scheduled an appointment at my local Cadillac dealer (not the same dealer I bought the vehicle from), but then the engine problem began. I remote started the car from inside my house, walked outside and heard the engine making a very light knocking/ticking sort of sound. After a few seconds it seems to have subsided, and I started driving. Not less than 30 seconds later the engine light began flashing and more knocking sounds from the engine. I immediately drove it to the dealer. This was 5 days ago. Since then, they discovered it was "missing on bank 4 and that a lifter might not be holding pressure". Then a second update, "replacing 8 lifters, gaskets, bolts, guides, etc". I am already super upset not having my vehicle, and I am worried I will have issues in the future. I asked the GM (who has refused to speak to me on the phone) if they can give me a replacement or significant compensation. This obviously affects the value of the car and I am nervous about driving it past the warranty date now. Does anyone have any recommendations here? I live in Florida, the lemon law is 30 days in the shop in 24 months or 3 attempts at fixing the same issue. I have the option to take them to arbitration if they won't make some sort of offer.

Greetings everyone. I'm actually writing this post in regards to my father's 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT. To try to make a long story short the headlights on it are terrible. My car recently broke down and my father loaned it to me to get to and from work for a few days. I work the night shift and I noticed they were very badly positioned. He has high quality bulbs in it but the position of the headlights basically points them straight at the ground, there's maybe 15 feet of light in front of the vehicle. The high beams point about where you would expect the regular beams to go. My father's pushing 70 and he and my mother formerly lived in the city which didn't seem to be a problem but now they live out in the deep country and at night it is scary to drive with very limited visibility. I'm concerned for his safety when driving this at night. My father is a retired mechanic and I'm not an idiot when it comes to working on vehicles but we cannot for the life of us figure out how to adjust these headlights? We can't find an adjustment screw or anything suggesting a way to move them up and down. They seem to be affixed to the grill which itself has shims to position correctly. We tried removing some of the shims to tilt the grill slightly back thus raising the headlights but when we did that the grill can't be mounted properly and the hood will not shut properly. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. My dad loves this truck, and I would like to make sure he can continue enjoying it whenever he wants. Thank you in advance everyone.
