My airbag light came on while driving and has remained on. It is on while idling and driving. It never goes off. There was no collision or anything to cause it to come on. I fear there might be something faulty happen while I drive. Also I've been having issues fueling my 2005 Escalade. It will only let me put in $1 maybe $1.50 at a time and the pump will kick off. I've even had gas spill out while this is occurring. The gas spill has happened twice and the fuel tank was almost empty. So it wasn't overfill. Also, my air conditioner, at times will just get hot while driving. If I stop and turn off the vehicle and turn it back on, the air will return to cold. And it smells like burning wires. I have been routinely looking to see if there is a recall on this vehicle through this website.

Escalade

  • 53,000 miles
The contact owns a 2005 Cadillac Escalade. When the contact attempted to add fuel to the fuel tank, the valve became stuck and prevented the fuel from entering. As a result, fuel spilled out. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank and the valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was 53,000.

Escalade

I purchased my car used from a dealership in 2009 and I now have the following problems with it. A check engine light that will not go out, the error states the fuel cap is not tight and no matter how much I tightened it never goes away. When fueling the car fuel will overflow if not paying attention. Also the the shift lever position is no longer illuminated so I am not sure which position the car is in most of the time I have to listen and gauge it before trying to put it in gear. I never received an communications that the car was under recall but from what I am seeing from the NHTSA website these are the problems that I am now having.
