2006 Cadillac Escalade problems

“ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING WHILE ON HIGHWAY. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER. THE RESULT IS #6 AND #8 ARE MISFIRING AND ALSO WERE TOLD THAT 2 MANIFOLD BOLTS ON RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE WERE BROKEN OFF IN ENGINE BODY. IF THEY CANNOT GET THE BOLTS TO BACK OFF THEY WILL HAVE TO PULL THE HEAD TO DRILL THEM OUT ON THE INSIDE.”

“THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED AND LEAKING IN AT LEAST TWO LOCATIONS. THE DEALER MASSEY CADILLAC OF SOUTH ORLANDO HAD TO REPLACE FROM THE REAR AXLE TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON INTERNATIONAL DRIVE ON OUR WAY HOME TO MC.”

“VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING. ENGINE DIES HAPPENED FOUR TIMES, THREE TIMES AT 70 TO 80 MPH ON 6 LN. FREEWAY HAVE TO TRY AND STEER AND USE BRAKES WITH NO POWER. ONCE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LET SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT STARTS UP AGAIN. HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WHEN THEY PUT ON THE COMPUTER. I FEEL THAT HIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! IT COULD GET US KILLED ALONG WITH ANY ONE ELSE CLOSE BY THAT HITS US.”

“A VEHICLE TURNED ACROSS THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. STOOD ON THE BRAKES AND FELT THE BRAKES GRAB HARD. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I COULD MISS THE TRUCK WHEN FIRST APPLIED BRAKES, THEN THEY FELT LIKE THEY RELEASED. NO PULSING LIKE YOU WOULD FEEL WHEN ANTI-LOCK HAS ENGAGED. JUST FELT LIKE THEY RELEASED. ALSO, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP NOW AND THEY TOLD ME THE AIRBAGS ARE TURNED OFF. I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW AND KNOW OF ANY REASON WHY THEY WOULD BE OFF, NOR DID I KNOW YOU COULD TURN THEM OFF. *TR”

“WHEN PASSING A VEHICLE, I PRESSED THE THROTTLE PEDAL COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. AFTER PASSING THE VEHICLE, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL REMAINED STUCK FULLY DOWN WITH THE ENGINE AT FULL THROTTLE. I KICKED AT THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND THE PEDAL POPPED UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I TRY NOW TO NOT PRESS THE PEDAL COMPLETELY DOWN, BUT I ALWAYS WONDER IF AND WHEN IT WILL STICK AGAIN.”

“I NOTICED VIBRATIONS WITH VOGUE CUSTOM BUILT TIRES WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A SEPARATED VOGUE CUSTOM BUILT TIRE ON LEFT FRONT. TIRE SIZE IS 305-40-22. THE VOGUE CUSTOM BUILT TIRE HAS BEEN DRIVEN 25,000 MILES. SEE PHOTO.”
