While driving my 2016 Cadillac Escalade with a6.2L V8 engine on [XXX] near Bristow, Oklahoma at approximately 75 mph, the vehicle suddenly and completely lost power. Without any prior warning or unusual noises, the engine shut down, and I lost power to the dashboard and power steering. This caused the vehicle to decelerate rapidly, making it extremely difficult to control. I managed to steer the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway, narrowly avoiding a collision due to the loss of control. The vehicle could not be restarted. The affected components seem to include the engine, electrical system, and steering. These failures put my safety and the safety of others at significant risk due to the sudden and unexpected loss of vehicle control on a busy highway. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Cadillac dealership for inspection and repair. As of now, the dealership has been unable to determine the cause of the engine failure despite conducting multiple tests and inspections. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure. The dealership has confirmed the issue but has not identified the root cause. The vehicle remains at the dealership for further diagnostics and is available for inspection upon request. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am having an electrical short that is shutting down everything while I'm driving or stopped, it makes driving it Dangerous and Scary. It looks like the recall from 2014 that describes everything I'm experiencing. Recall 14515 that talks about a Chassis Control Module that controls a lot of things including the fuel pump and more electrical components to list. I have a vehicle that is Dangerous to drive, im a Disabled Veteran and am tied to a Powered Chair. I have called Cadillac and they say that my Escalade is not included and they will do nothing for me. I'm at a lose as what to do, I could just sell it to someone else and let them deal with it or get killed in it. Either way is not a good choice. Let me know what you would do if you were in my position.

Cadillac sent a notice of the recall. The authorized Chevrolet dealership repair facility and Cadillac told me that they would not accept the risk that the dashboard would not crack in installation of authorized Chevrolet dealership repair facility defective part and that 'I' would have to sign a waiver saying 'I' accept the risk that they 'could' damage my car and would be 'my' responsibility if the dash is ruined and pay for the replacement. This is not my error/defective issue, but GM's. They have already indicated that people have been injured and died from this defective part. I believe Cadillac should accept the 'potential' risk should it be damaged. I am getting no where with Cadillac and would like to have the NHTSA to weigh in on their lack of support to mitigate this error. Certainly hoping that the dash does not crack, but I don't have the funds to take on that risk and they've left me in bad situation with a KNOWN risk of defective part.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2014 CADILLAC ESCALADE IN 2014. I HAVE 61,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR IN YESTERDAY FOR A TIRE REPAIR AT WHICH TIME THE TECHNICIANS INFORMED ME THE TIRES WERE CRACKING AND THEY COULD COME APART. THE NEW VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH BRIDGESTONE 285/45 R 22 TIRES. I REPLACED THE TIRES TODAY WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRES. WHEN I WAS AT THE TIRE SHOP TODAY, THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON WITH A CADILLAC ESCALADE, SAME TIRES AS MINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT MIGHT AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRES THAT I WILL TRY AND ATTACH.
