2022 Cadillac Escalade Sport — dealer says they can't reproduce the problem

PistonTraveler4Community StarterApr 28, 20262022 Cadillac Escalade SportMichigan
I've brought the car in twice for an intermittent warning and both times the dealer says no fault found. I have video and timestamps. What's the best way to document this so there's a useful service history if it gets worse? I'm in Michigan. If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2022 Cadillac Escalade owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2022 Cadillac Escalade in Michigan. Any freeze-frame data saved? Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Not convinced that's the whole story. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2022 Cadillac Escalade before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2022 Cadillac Escalade in Michigan. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2022 Cadillac Escalade, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. Do that first. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2022 Cadillac Escalade in Michigan, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “dealer says they can't reproduce the problem,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2022 Cadillac Escalade before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Do that first. I'll update if anything new shows up.

On “dealer says they can't reproduce the problem,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2022 Cadillac Escalade. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
