Late in my life September 2025 I was so happy to become a first time Cadillac owner by purchasing a 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Sports 2. But as of January 2026, we are regretting in a big way ever purchasing a Cadillac.We got a “High Voltage Battery Service” notification, both on the vehicle dashboard and within the Cadillac mobile application requiring service. Upon contacting our nearest Cadillac dealership, “Crestview Cadillac of West Covina,” we were informed that they were 11–18 weeks behind on EV service repairs and advised us to seek service elsewhere. Being redirected in this manner for a new, premium vehicle reflects poorly on GM/Cadillac’s service readiness and customer support infrastructure.We then contacted the next nearest Cadillac dealership “Cadillac of Pasadena,” who advised they had only one EV-certified technician, but nonetheless accepted the vehicle for service. The vehicle was dropped off on January 14, 2026. As of this posting January 28, 2026, we remain without our vehicle and have been informed that repairs may take several additional weeks due to ongoing coordination between the dealership and GM on the repairs needed. We have become aware the Escalade IQ high-voltage battery issue is widely known, and that GM/Cadillac has been aware of this condition for some time but have been providing slow, inconsistent service and a lack of timely resolution. This is concerning for a flagship vehicle marketed at a premium price point. At this point looks like it will be well over 30 days to get our vehicle service creating a significant financial and practical burden on our family. Basically, Cadillac’s EV service capability does not currently align with the expectations of a luxury brand. As first-time Cadillac owners, this experience reflects a level of quality, service preparedness, and post-sale support that falls well below reasonable expectations and has caused us to seriously regret our purchase
