The most likely cause was a malfunction of the cruise control. I had this to happen to me on a Mercury station wagon several years ago and the mechanic I took it to would not believe it happened to me until he had it happened to him days later. I also witnessed an elderly lady having the same...

How Does A 2008 Cadillac Escalade Drive?

Why should I also consider these? X

The Lincoln Navigator remains the Escalade's main competitor, but the Navigator has a stodgier look and feel; it forgoes a flashy appearance for more conservative details, but it rivals the Escalade in features.

In performance, the Navigator comes up short; its less powerful V-8 provides just adequate performance.

The Aspen offers a wide range of luxury features, but it's a half-size smaller than the Escalade yet isn't any less cumbersome to drive--or any more fuel-efficient.

The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is a little more manageable, but it's not quite as roomy inside either.

Both the QX56 and the LX 570 have some measure of off-road ability and their on-road handling suffers.

None of these vehicles arguably has the reputation and recognition that the Escalade enjoys in some circles.
