“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH OVER A PATCH OF ICE, THE CONTACT LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT THEN CALLED TWO OTHER GMC DEALERS HE FOUND ONLINE(DEALER UNKNOWN) WHO ALSO GAVE HIM THE SAME INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED THROUGH THE DEALER(MCCURLEY INTEGRITY CHEVROLET CADILLAC) WHO INITIALLY GAVE HIM THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE DEALER. THEY SUGGESTED THAT ANOTHER PART COULD BE USED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT REMEDY WOULD WORK AS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *LN*JB”

“ENGINE HAS ROD KNOCK LIKE NOISE AND GM SAYS ITS CARBON BUILD UP ON THE PISTONS HAVE HEARD THIS NOISE ON SEVERAL CADILLAC ESCALADES WITH THE 6.2LITER ENGINE FROM 2007 -2014 MINE FAISLED AS A RESULT OF THIS NOISE AND AND WAS IGNORED BY GM CORPORATION I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHER WITH THIS SAME CONDITION. THIS NOISE HAPPENED IN THE MORNING EVEN AFTER WARM UP ON NOT AFTER CAR HAS ALREADY REACHED ITS OPERATION OIL PRESSURE. AND WOULD LAST FOR UP TO 5 MINUTES EVERY TIME I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS MORE NOTICEABLE ON COLD MORNINGS THIS WAS A MOTOR WITH 70K MILES ON LT AND WAS A 3 YEAR , 100, 000 MILE WARRANTY MOTOR”

“I WAS DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF 75MPH, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS REDUCED TO 30MPH. MY DISPLAY INFORMATION READ STABILITRAK SERVICE, REDUCED SPEED. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. SOMEBODY OUT ON THE HIGHWAYS WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE.”

“2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE APPARENTLY WAS BUILT WITH SEVERE CAMSHAFT AND BEARING ISSUE. 1ST. STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND WARNING. STRAIGHT AND LEVEL DRIVING ON CLEAR DRY DAY. THIS IS WHEN ENGINE WAS RUNNING ON HIGHWAY AND ENGINE FULLY AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THIS FORCED TRANSMISSION/ENGINE INTO LIMP MODE. MCCADDON DEALERSHIP INSTALLED COMPLETE TRANSMISSION COST OVER $8,000---- ISSUE CAME BACK. THEN THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP. THEN THEY REPLACED OIL PUMP WHICH SEEMED TO FIX ISSUE, COST $2084.04. NOW AT 225,000 MILES OIL PRESSURE LOW, STOP ENGINE LIGHT, AND WARNING GONG. NO OIL LEAKS, OIL LEVELS ALWAYS WATCHED AND MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR CHANGES. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP THINKING THEY WOULD REPLACE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. INSTEAD THEY CHARGED 130.00 TO DIAGNOSE THAT ENGINE WAS LOSING PRESSURE. THEIR SOLUTION, REPLACE ENGINE AT COST OF $10,000. NOW ONLINE SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY CAUSED BY BAD CAMSHAFTS AND BEARINGS. NOT SURE WHAT I WILL DO, BUT DOUBT I WILL PAY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE ENGINE AT COST OF $10,K. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO DEFECTIVE PART AND RECALL. SOME WOULD SAY WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM CAR WITH OVER 200K MILES? I EXPECT IT TO BE DIAGNOSED…”

“FAULTY BEARINGS ON CAMSHAFT FAILING CAUSING INADEQUATE OIL PRESSURE RESULTING IN "LIMP MODE", SUBSEQUENTLY LEADING TO ENGINE FAILURE AND ILLUMINATION OF STABILITRAK, ABS AND PARKING ASSIST ICONS. "LIMP MODE" CUTS ENGINE OFF AND DRIVER LOSES ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, 1 FATALITY AND 3 INJURIES HAVE RESULTED BECAUSE OF THIS.”

“TAKATA RECALL---2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE, STABILITY LIGHT CONTROL COMES ON AND OFF. ALSO TRIGGERS MY ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON AS WELL. I HAVE REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN, CAM SHAFT, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, NEW SHOCKS, NEW COMPRESSOR, AND I KEEP THE OIL CHANGED. EVEN THE CADILLAC DEALER HAS WENT THRU AND THRU THIS VEHICLE REPLACING ALL THIS STUFF AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER, TO STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND THEY EVEN SAID THEY HAVE NO CLUE OF WHY IT KEEPS DOING THIS. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CADILLAC AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THESE ISSUES NOT ON THE OWNERS POCKET. ON GM'S POCKET. THIS VEHICLE IS ENOUGH ALONE WITHOUT HAVING TO CONTINUE SINKING MONEY AFTER MONEY IT IS TO JUST TRY AND FIX THIS ISSUE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN CADILLAC'S AND THIS IS MY 2 ONE, BUT PROBABLY MY LAST ONE BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO FORK OUT 80,000 FOR A NEW ONE, TO CONTINUE FORKING OUT WITH ISSUES. THESE ISSUES SEVERELY NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE IT TAKES PEOPLES LIVES. SOON AS THESE LIGHTS COME ON, AND YOU GIVE IT GAS, IF FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT IN THE ROAD. JERKS YOU EVERYWHERE. THIS IS A DAILY PROBLEM,…”
