-Traction Control/Stabilitrak light comes on and the major thing is the Camshaft and bearings that cause the LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF ENGINE WARNING LIGHT.. - When Low oil pressure shuts off the engine light comes on it will cause your vehicle to stall and shut off wherever you at.. -Independent service center - No just the independent service center worker - Yes! Start out with the Traction Control/Stabilitrak light and then the Low OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF ENGINE WARNING LIGHT..January of 2022.

https://www.cadillacforums.com/threads/2007-escalade-stalling-when-rolling-to-a-stop.278037/ It is a well known issue (for those that pull trailers) that 2007-2008 Escalades will stall when slowing down on the highway if the vehicle is pulling a trailer. Everytime I drive on the highway and come to a roll the engine stalls. I have been stuck on the middle lane of the highway, in the middle of intersections, and many other places that are less than ideal. It is a crankshaft position sensor from what I can tell. When the car is under a load, the sensor is positioned at an extreme angle and when the rpms get low the rpms fluctuates and it stalls. The extreme angle is an optimization that cadillac made in an effort to get better fuel economy. It appears that the only way to fix the issue is to get a tune that prevents the sensor from reaching that extreme angle. The dealer pretends to know nothing, yet I find many other people who experience the issue so it would be in their database as a known issue. There are no warnings lights that comes on. The car will just shut down. The only way to prevent the car stalling is to drop to neutral and rev the engine while coming to a stop. Keep reving and when the light goes green drop it to Drive. Its unacceptable and a risk not only to myself but others on the road. I will file a defect petition with a lawyer so this is paid attention to . Please help.

The issue is with vvt and the camshaft. Took to auto shop because my vehicle was going into limp mode. Which caused my transmission to go bad. The cam accuator and cam bearings bad.caused me to have to have transmission rebuilt.still didn't fix problem had new cam position sensor, accuator, high volume oil pump, and the mechanic saying low oil pressure due to bad camshaft and bearings. Saying I need a new engine or complete engine rebuild. When I drive the vehicle traction control light comes on and vehicle goes into limp mode and stalls when comes to stop.have to reset engine light to run again.

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.

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.
