Question: 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV

Help, my car is possessed!

Loaded the family in the car this morning to head to church, started the vehicle and the door locks went crazy... repeatedly locking and unlocking. The passenger window went down on its own, I couldnt return it up to the closed position from the drivers side control, however I was able to close it using the passenger side control. The drivers side window then went down on it's own. I had to shut the engine off and restart to get that window back up.

The driver information systems and all instrument gauges flat-lined, and failed to register anything. When the driver information system came back up, it seemed to reset itself, chiming approximately ever 15 - 20 seconds, stating the Drivers Door was adjar.

Driver's seat heater came on, could not turn off.

A/C blew cool then hot.

I dont have a clue as to what is the cause, but need this daily driver fixed and am hoping it's not a monumental task or financial burden.

Suggestions?

Car Brakes: How Do You Know When to Change Them?

By Zach Bowman For those who suffer a daily commute through heavy traffic, your vehicle's braking system can bring thousands of pounds of metal, plastic and empty Starbucks cups to a stop hundreds of times before you get to work. It goes without saying that these pieces wear out, but they do so slowly, meaning you may not notice they need attention until ...
