Unfortunately I've read alot about alot of owners having issues across all 3 of the full size platforms. I'd say it's more common. As to the OP's comment on the yukon denali being the same as the escalade that isn't quite true. They share the same engine and transmission platform and many of the same optioned features but alot is different in many areas. Under the hood and body, engine specifics. Anyways there are eskys out there that don't have any issues. My best friend's parents have a 2015 esv with a little over 15k on it now. I spend alot of time detailing it quite often for them, and have gone on many trips in it with them. Theirs doesn't have any of the gnarly issues I've read about. No buffeting or vibrating any speeds. Theirs doesn't have the V4 mode so no issues there. No 4WD issues and it rides very well, like a caddy, like it should. In fact the first time it's getting work done on it aside from standard maintenance, is its getting a new front bumper. She got ran into in a snowstorm on Christmas eve day when someone lost control, spun around and hit her front bumper and took some paint off and broke the fog light housing mount. So it's getting a bumper and fog light replaced. Nothing major. So there are the rides out there with no problems. You just have to know how to create circumstances where the issues would present themselves on a test drive and find the rig that doesn't present the issues.
