Common issues

Cadillac Escalade

The 2021-2024 Escalade, especially 6.2L V8 versions, can experience engine failure or sudden loss of power while driving, causing stalling, inability to accelerate, and possible loss of vehicle control. Complaint counts were 22 in 2021, 61 in 2022, 83 in 2023, and 28 in 2024, with some flagged as crash- or fire-related. No specific repair cost is provided.

Electrical system malfunctions affect the 2021-2024 Escalade, including infotainment/Horizon display failures, erroneous warning lights, sensor failures, and potential battery drain. These can cause driver distraction and may interfere with safety systems, though the primary consequence is operational annoyance and intermittent resets. No specific repair cost is provided.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan

A documented recall, NHTSA 26V143000, affects 2020-2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan models including Series II variants, because the rear seat belt fixing bolts may not have been properly torqued at the factory. Over time these bolts can loosen, which may damage the left or right rear seat belt webbing or allow the rear backrest to move forward under luggage-compartment pressure. A damaged belt or unsecured seat back can fail to restrain occupants properly, increasing injury risk in a crash. This is a recall remedy, so inspection, belt re-torquing, and any needed replacement are typically performed free of charge by an authorized dealer.
