I purchased a new Cadillac Escalade from Chris and John - capitwo
I purchased a new Cadillac Escalade from Chris and John at Sons Cadillac. Early in the life of the car, the dreaded engine light came on, followed by a loss of power, jerking motion and then a warning that stabilitrak had shut down. The car began to fill with the acrid smell of something burning, much like burning brakes. I was hungry and went into a fast food restaurant to eat, letting the car cool down for about 30 minutes. I came back out and everything seemed to work normally, but after traveling another 5 miles, the same thing happened again. I sent a message to John. Soon after I received a call from Roger the service manager. He told me that he was sending a rollback to pick the Escalade up. I was 50 minutes away from the dealership. In approximately 90 minutes the rollback had arrived and they took the car back to the Sons Service Center. The next business day I talked with Roger and he told me, Brandon, their service specialist had isolated the problem to a faulty fuel injector coil. The coil was not igniting the fuel in that cylinder and hence the engine was sputtering and lost power. The unburnt fuel was being passed on to the catalytic converter and that caused the burning smell. Later, I also learned from the service report that the Brandon had went above and beyond the call of duty, removing the valve cover and inspecting the valve lifters for possible malfunction. Roger told me that they had driven the car around twice to make sure that the car was working properly. He then said he would deliver the car to my house (I live about 1 hour from the dealership) both giving the car a final test and saving me from traveling to the dealership. Within approximately 90 minutes, the car was delivered to my house. I highly recommend Sons Cadillac for their outstanding service after the sale. I was impressed by the level of the technical expertise in their dealership. They were able to quickly diagnose and repair a difficult, intermittently occurring failure. Thanks to all for service with a smile after the purchase. Ten thumbs up to all involved.
