Love my Cadillac escalade, but it happens to be a nuisance every time it sits for more than 2 to 3 days I have to get a jump. I've replaced several batteries, now my CD players don't work, my clock keeps displaying 12:00 an my windows are going haywire.Really looking to up grade but scared to take a chance with another escalade.

Do you drive a 2003 CADILLAC ESCALADE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
