It cut off in the middle of traffic every time I drive it . The. Stability engine power reduced comes on. I have small kids in the car it becomes a issue because we almost got hit
Picture is not of my truck...I have and Ext. truck.........Low oil pressure light keeps coming on saying stop engine...just had oil change to and traction control...stabilitrak...tire monitor all on Is there a recall on this the beeping noise drives me crazy .. oil light starts when driving
I HAVE A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE AND ON THE DASH IT WILL READ OIL PRESSURE LOW STOP ENGINE AND THE OIL LIGHT WILL COME ON THEN BACK OFF. UPON RESEARCH FROM A SHOP MECHANIC HE SAID THAT IT WAS COMMON FOR THOSE 6.2 MOTORS FOR THE CAM BEARINGS TO GO BAD CAUSING NO OIL TO REACH THE TOP OF THE MOTOR AND COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND MOTOR TO COME APART AND KILL SOMEONE
II PURCHASE THE TRUCK WITH THE UNDERSTANDING IT HAD ONLY 124,946 MILES.TWO LATER I FOUND THRU CAR FOX THAT THE MILES HAD ROLL BACK. IN 2018 THE MILES 195000 THEN IN 2019 175000 AND 2020 NO MILES AT ALL. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASE CHECK ENG LITE AND OTHER LITES CAME ON.
SUSPENSION AND ANTI LOCK BRAKES THE PROBLEM START IN 2012 AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT FOR OVER 4 YEARS, I TRIED TWO CADILLAC DEALER AND THE LAST DEALER CONTACT THE ENGINEERING , AFTER ALL GM ENGINEERING TOLD ME IT UNFIXABLE.
STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH BACK DOOR LOCKS AND AUTOMATIC LIFT GATE SUSPENSION SYSTEM MESSAGE IS ON. *TR
THE ENGINE MOUNT HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND KEEPS BRAKING, I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING TO REPLACE IT EVERY SIX MONTHS, MY MECHANIC SAYS ITS BEEN MISDESIGNED, BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS TOO STRONG, HE ALSO SAID THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL OF THE VEHICLES WITH THAT SIZE ENGINE, MY CONCERN IS, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF I DON'T REPLACE IT ANYMORE AND IT COMPLETELY BRAKES? SHOULD THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M TRYING TO CROSS A ROAD WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC AND I NEED TO SPEED, I WILL BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND BE HIT BY ANOTHER CAR? ALSO, ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO GET DAMAGED, EVER TIME I TAKE OFF, I CAN FEEL HOW HARD IT HITS THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MOVEMENT ALLOWED BY THE BROKEN ENGINE MOUNT.

APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS (03/18/11) PRIOR TO REPAIRS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE HAD A "SHAKING NOISE" THE SLOWER YOU DROVE THE MORE NOISE IT MADE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO QUOTED $1,000 FOR REPAIRS. AT THE TIME WE DROPPED IT OFF THE SERVICE MANAGER MADE US AWARE THAT THERE WAS A "BULLETIN FROM GENERAL MOTORS " ABOUT THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND THEY WOULD NOT ISSUE A RECALL." IT WAS FOUND BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE FRONT JOUNCE BUMPERS AND FRONT STRUTS AND MOUNTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED GM SERVICE LINE WHILE IT WAS STILL IN THE SHOP AND HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS IN ORDER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I HAD NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TO GM AND THEY STATED "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" AND YOUR 50,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER IT SINCE IT HAD 62,926 MILES ON IT. I REQUESTED A DISTRICT SUPERVISOR REVIEW AND THE OUTCOME WAS THE SAME. WE HAVE HAD CADILLACS FOR 25+ YEARS AND SOME WITH 200,000+ MILES ON THEM AND NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND TREATMENT FROM ANYONE. WE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION OR CONSIDERATION ABOUT OUR PROBLEM FROM GM EXCEPT FOR THEM TO REPEATEDLY STATE "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR."
