#Cadillac Escalade

[wheelsgoroundincircles]

Cadillac was founded in 1902 by Henry Leland, who named the company after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who happens to be the founder of Detroit. Just 6 short years later Cadillac brought the idea of interchangeable parts to the automotive industry and laid the ground work for modern mass production of automobiles. As a result, Cadillac became the first American car to win the prestigious Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club of England. After earning such high praise Cadillac adopted the slogan "Standard of the World."

In 1910, Cadillac became the first company to offer a passenger car with a fully enclosed cabin, a major change from the vehicles of the time. Two years after that, in 1912, the company released the Model Thirty, the car with no crank, which was the first production car to feature an electronic self-starter, ignition, and lighting. By dropping the crank starter, Cadillac opened the door to women drivers, and was able to bring the prestigious Dewar trophy back to Detroit, making Cadillac the only car manufacturer to claim the award twice. Nearly three years later, Cadillac brought the world the V-type, water-cooled, eight cylinder (V8) engine, which would become the signature of the Cadillac brand.

The Roaring 20's was not only a big decade for the country but was also important for Cadillac. In 1926, Cadillac branched out and offered customers more than 500 color combinations to choose from. As the famous Henry Ford saying goes, you can have any color you want, as long as it's black. Cadillac changed this mentality. That same year, the company brought in designer Harley Earl to design the 1927 LaSalle convertible coupe, which made the car the first to be designed from a designer's perspective rather than an engineering one. What Earl created was elegant, with flowing lines, chrome-plate fixtures, and an overarching design philosophy, that made the Cadillac brand known for beauty and luxury.

In the middle of the 1930's a midst The Great Depression, while most companies and families were struggling Cadillac created the first V-type 16-cylinder engine for use in a passenger car. This engine would go on to be one of the most iconic engines in Cadillac history. Shortly thereafter, Cadillac released a V12 version to give buyers something between the already popular V8 and new V16 engines.

Cadillac went quiet in the 1941's when they suspended automobile production to help produce planes for the war. After the war ended Cadillac adapted some of the aircraft technology and created the first ever tailfin on a vehicle. This feature is now found on almost every car and was one of the biggest reasons that Cadillac was given the first ever Car of the Year award in 1949.

The tailfin took off rather quickly and by the mid to late 1950's it was being featured heavily in the design of nearly every vehicle. Also in the 50's Cadillac began developing power steering, which helped the automaker take third, tenth, and eleventh places at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. After Cadillac's stunning "victories" power steering quickly became the new standard of the industry.

Small but meaningful innovations filled the 1960's for Cadillac. In 1963, the company made front seatbelts standard in their vehicles, which lead to the eventual passing of a federal law requiring front seatbelts in all vehicles just one year later. Then, in 1964, Cadillac brought to market automatically controlled headlamps and redefines luxury with Comfort Control, the industry's first thermostatically controlled heating, venting, and air-conditioning system. Over the next few years, Cadillac introduced variable-ratio power steering, electric seat warmers, and stereo radio.

While the 1960's were fairly quiet, with only some smaller, luxury items being introduced, Cadillac started out 1970 with a major bang. Cadillac opened the decade by unveiling the 400 horsepower, 8.2-liter engine Eldorado. With its completely redesigned axle this model boasted the highest torque capacity of any passenger car available at the time. Closing out the decade, Cadillac brought to market the 1978 Seville which used onboard microprocessors in its digital display. This started the era of the computerized automobile.

Throughout the 1980's Cadillac laid low, working on some new technologies that would come to market in the early parts of the 1990's. The first feature to debut was an electronic traction control system on front-wheel drive vehicles. Cadillac began offering this as a standard feature on the 1990 Cadillac Allante. This same year Cadillac would go on to win the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Two years later, in 1992, the company developed a feature that allowed the engine to run for up to 50 miles without coolant, and a unique induction system for near-perfect fuel distribution. The Seville Touring Sedan of that year would become known as the "Cadillac of the Year" thanks to features such as an all electronically controlled Powertrain, traction control, anti-lock brakes and speed-sensitive suspension. Closing out the decade, Cadillac introduced the, now iconic, Escalade SUV.

CELEBRATING 100 YEARS AS 'THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD'

Coming up on the 100th anniversary of the Cadillac brand, the company had to do something big or the decade, and they did not disappoint. Cadillac started off the 200's by introducing the F-22 stealth aircraft inspired Cien Concept, which ended up winning a few design awards. Later in the decade, in 2008, Cadillac expanded the Escalade SUV by making it the world's first full-size luxury hybrid SUV. In the same year, the company redeveloped the CTS Sedan. This redesign has been incredibly popular and even won the coveted 2008 Car of the Year award. A short year later, the performance edition CTS-V, becomes the fasted V8 production sedan in the world, establishing a record lap time of 7:59:32 on Germany's famed Nürburgring.

Cadillac Voyage Passenger Van Concept

What if...Cadillac made a first ever passenger van? In this scenario, it would share a similar platform with the Escalade ESV and modified Chevrolet Express for the longer formats, however it would offer many interior configurations according to customer's build with room for up to 12 people. In some builds, this is definitely a luxury family hauler and can be configured to also have captain chairs for every passenger with limited number capacity. This could also be configured to having a single door that opens or both doors open with electronic sliding function with optional manual override. Sitting much lower than the Escalade, this offers a quality ride, and safety with a much lower center of gravity as well as stability features for the chassis.

Cadillac Escalade Years to Avoid

While opinions on specific model years can vary, there are some common issues reported by owners and automotive experts for certain Cadillac Escalade model years. It's important to note that these issues may not be universal, and individual experiences can vary. Additionally, manufacturers often make updates and improvements in later model years. To learn more interesting facts about the BMW 7 Series visit autonationx.com.

Here are some model years of the Cadillac Escalade that have been mentioned for potential issues:

First Generation (1999-2000): The initial model years of any vehicle may have more teething issues as manufacturers work out bugs and improve designs.

Early 2000s: Some owners of Escalades from the early 2000s reported issues with the transmission and various electrical components. It's advisable to check the maintenance history and look for any signs of these problems.

2007 and 2014 Model Years: These years saw significant updates and changes. The 2007 model introduced a more powerful engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The 2014 model brought about a complete redesign with improved interior quality and technology. However, the first year of a redesign can sometimes have unexpected issues, so some caution might be warranted.

2015-2017: Some users reported issues with the Cue infotainment system in these years. The system can be slow or unresponsive, and updates might be necessary.

2015-2018: In these model years, there were recalls related to issues with the power-adjustable pedals, seat heaters, and airbags. It's essential to check whether these recalls were addressed if you're considering a used Escalade from these years.

2018-2019: Some owners reported problems with the transmission, so it's recommended to check for any service records related to transmission issues.

However, I can provide you with some general advice on how to research and identify potential issues with specific model years.

Consumer Reports and J.D. Power: These organizations conduct reliability and customer satisfaction surveys. Checking their reports for the specific model years you're interested in can give you insights into common problems.

Online Forums: Car forums, such as those on Edmunds, Reddit, or dedicated Cadillac forums, often have discussions about common issues and owner experiences. Participating in these forums or just reading through existing threads can provide valuable information.

Recalls and Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs): Checking for recalls and TSBs related to the Cadillac Escalade can help you understand if there are any widespread issues that the manufacturer has recognized and addressed.

Test Drives and Inspections: Before purchasing a used Cadillac Escalade, it's advisable to take it for a thorough test drive and have it inspected by a qualified mechanic. This can help identify any existing or potential issues.

Model Changes: Sometimes, certain model years undergo significant changes, whether in terms of design, features, or mechanics. It's worth researching whether a particular year had a major update, as new technologies or designs may come with their own set of challenges.

It's important to note that these are general trends and not every vehicle from these years will experience these problems. Additionally, manufacturers often address issues with updated models and service bulletins, so it's wise to check if the specific vehicle you're interested in has had any recalls or if the known issues have been addressed.

Always consider having a used vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic before making a purchase. They can provide insights into the current condition of the car and alert you to any potential issues. Additionally, staying informed about recalls and technical service bulletins from the manufacturer is a good practice when researching a specific model year.
