2007 Cadillac Escalade engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 40 of 40, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Very comments issue. Camshaft snaps causing lose of power in highway
What is in motion service stability track low oil pressure shut engine off
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
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 correctly, root cause identified and fixed first time. Or at least 2nd time, or 3rd time. Other bills on this car for various things from manifold bolts $1220 which included a power steering hose, axle wheel bearing $704, ball joints, $2015,engine seals$831.77.
Electrical problem
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, not just a one time issue.
2007 cadillac escalade problems first reported to cadillac at 86,453 miles. Electrical problem. Car shuts off at intersection unexpectedly, I hace to raise hood and shake battery cables to get to restart. Upon turning off car, no power to ignition, no interior lights, no power at all.

Bolts are breaking on exhaust maniford
Takata recall airbag inflators, have not yet been replaced. I received my recall notice in 2016 and have taken my vehicle to ron carter dealership in friendswood, tx where the vehicle was purchased, however, I was informed that the replacement part was not in and it will be indefinitely. The truck has a hard time accelerating when trying to keep speed or trying to go to a higher speed, also a noise is coming from the vehicle after I turn on the ignition. I was informed by ron carter cadillac that I needed to file a claim once I receive the recall notice to fie a claim on or about 10/2017. I have been trying to get my vehicle recall taken care of since 11/2017 not to long after I purchased the vehicle approximately july 2017
I been fighting this p0011 code for over a year. I've replaced the whole engine, sensors, ECM, and other things associated with this problem. This code can be anything. Doesn't make any sense for 100 things to be associated with 1 code. I've owned many vehicles and I honestly never experienced a problem like this. Costed me over 10k in diagnostics, parts, and labor. I'm not the only 1 with this problem. Very unfair. Cadillac should be responsible for this problem. This engine design has too many flaws!

Vehicle stalled out in very heavy traffic in both maryland, and indiana while I was on vacation. This occurred on a major highway in both occasions that was packed with traffic.this incident could have easily resulted in a major accident that could have been harmful to both me and my family. This incident happened on 2 occasions ,july 16th 2016 and july 22nd 2016.dealership at first could not find the problem as was the case with the first cadillac dealership in bethesda maryland. The 2nd dealership took a week to create, identify, and hopefully repair the problem. Replacing fuel pump ended up being the call. 1005.00 dollars later I certainly hope that this fixed the problem. This indeed is a huge safety concern as it does not show any warnings it just stalled out.
Escalade having same issues as everyone else. Oil pressure due to poor build and cut backs on general motors behalf. A unit with a price up words of $70-$80k should not have the issues. We as the customers and the victims should not pay the price and our own lives (families lives) for a companies selfishness. Passenger seat control module burnt due to yet another faulty gm product. They seam to not care and want to fix the issues that can again lead to harm to anyone in and around the vehicle. I still own this vehicle but it has been a utter disgrace of what kind of products we have been sold. To this day would like to know why the company recalls parts that would cost them nickels and dimes and not the major items that can lead to disasters like death. For crying out loud they replaced my de others dash...(dash). So replace a plastic dash that has no harm what so ever and oh don't mined if you truck catches on fire do to faulty modules. Shame how gm has let a company like toyota who actually listens to the costumes seem like a more patriotic company and keeps their customers safe on the roads. Thank you for your time, now it's time for action. I still drive the truck everyday and pray I don't die every time .
Vehicle continue to receive "low oil pressure, turn off engine warning". In addition to "service stabilink seystem". No one can tell me the cause. This occurs while driving on highways and street. 2007 cadillac
After driving the car on highway with no issues car will stall out approaching lights,stop signs or slowing down or letting off gas pedal.has happened 8-9 times in last week. No warning lights or idling issues that would warn us of the issue. Changed battery,crankshaft sensor ,cleaned throttle body, fuel filter ,and changed oil. No codes show up on mechanics diagnostic meter.I have taken to online cadillac forums and learned this is not an uncommon problem.very unsettling with wife and 4 children in vehicle.

My vehicle engine light comes on and the gas needle bounces back and forth. When the needle bounces back and forth from full to empty the engine light in the dash will come on and may stay on for awhile but will then go off. When I put fuel in the tank the light will go off but once I start driving again it comes back on and the needle bounces back and forth. Not sure where the problem is but I know my brother is having the same problem with his silverado. Please let me know what I need to do. Thanks for your time.
I purchased a 2007 escalade and have had it for just about 1 year. So far I have had to replace a defective windshield, hubs, evap sensor, purge valve, fuel level sensor, transmission, defective rims, plus the normal wear and tear items....brakes, rotors, battery. All of which happened to go right around 90,000 to 100,000 miles. I contacted cadillac to address the issues and compensate some costs as this SUV has always been regularly maintained with the best products available including synthetic oils. They refused to work with me.... Well today the icing on the cake. My grandfather passed away this week, while moving his personal belongings and having a full truck load of them the truck caught on fire. Smoke began to pour in from the dash by the windshield the under the dash. I opened the hood and flames shot out burning my hand. The police & fd came. Thank god for the family in the home near by who ran out with a fire extinguisher. I had to pay for a tow from maine to nh. I was out of state, the dealer is closed until monday. Find a vehicle to use to go to ny where the funeral service are being held. This vehicle is undependable, unreliable, junk that is unsafe. Not only is it because this one is a lemon but because they do not back the product. Gm does not care about the publics safety. They don't care if folks get injured or killed. Many of the issues I have had are safety issues but gm dose not find them to be. If a transmission locks up when you are doing 65 on a highway and drops to 20 I think that's a safety issue. At least that is what I have been told by multiple mechanics. If your windshield is defective due to the plastic and glass separating and you can't see to drive, that too is a safety issue. If your hubs go bad your wheel can come off at any speed...another issue. And if you are trapped in a burning car. I would also say that may be an issue too.
Noticed excessive exhaust fumes inside the car while at idle during stops. All windows up during winter season driving. Inspected exhaust system for leaks. Noticed exhaust manifold bolts on both sides of engine missing and subsequent leaks at each exhaust port with missing bolts. Noticed excessive rusting and corrosion of exhaust manifold and bolts. This seems to be caused by a metal defect creating premature corrosion of exhaust manifolds and bolts. Intern, causing exhaust leaks and excessive amounts of exhaust gases under hood an in the cabin. This is a major safety concern to me and my family. Please investigate.
Heard from dealer my manifold bolt is broken... Said $500-600 to fix.
2007 escalade ext ,34k miles. Heat shield on exh manifold rusted thru mounts , fell into steering column. Steering locked in a rt hand turn, went loc, very hard jerk on steering wheel broke it free. Checked passenger side, it had also fallen off but didn't cause any problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 cadillac escalade. While driving approximately 55 MPH on normal road conditions, the vehicle came to a stop and the gear shifter was placed into reverse. The reverse mode, tilt down exterior mirrors failed to operate. In addition, the vehicle failed to respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle lurched forward unexpectedly.
