My car shut down completely as I was driving it home last month [XXX] the cluster panel was showing charging system failure, stabilization and traction control coming on and off when not in use, the battery I bought was purchased in 2022 was completely drained and not rechargeable and even lights were staying on inside vehicle without out the battery connected, the driver door handle fell off not broken came loose and the tires had a locked lug nuts that never came with the vehicle when i purchased it, i had to buy a $103 unlocking key to remove the tire in order to get the brakes fixed and the spare tire was rusted and there wasn't a key to release it so i had it cut off Because i was stranded on the road with no help, the shift gear came undone as i had to put a paper...

-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.

First it started out with the Low Oil Pressure stop engine light had it check out by an independent service center. I was told what the problem maybe, purchase several parts for the SUV but that didn't solve the problem within 72hrs the low oil pressure light stop engine was back on and then this vehicle started cutting off and don't want to crank back again until several hours later. Had a second opinion from a different service center but that didn't work continue to do the same. - By this SUV cutting off in traffic and not cranking back -Was told my mechanic from a service center that it could be the lifter in side the engine. -No -Low oil pressure stop engine warning messages, Check engine light.

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

#11245044 |
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...

MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND OR SENSOR THAT'S CAUSING TRUCK TO TRIP STABILITRACK
#10693816 |
DRIVER STOPPED VEHICLE PREPARING TO PARK, PLACED IT IN "PARK" AND PROCEEDED TO TURN IGNITION INTO "OFF" POSITION. THE KEY WAS FIRMLY LOCKED IN THE "RUN" POSITION AND WOULD NOT TURN TO "OFF" OR ANY OTHER POSITION. AFTER TRYING TO TURN KEY FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, DRIVER CALLED GM/SEWELL - CADILLAC SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR INSTRUCTION TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY SOLUTIONS THAT WORKED OVER THE PHONE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHUT OFF AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AFTER THE INITIAL INCIDENT THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER INCIDENTS INCLUDING KEY HARD TO TURN IN IGNITION, NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF POWER LOSS THROUGHOUT SYSTEMS IN VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN THE SEWELL CADILLAC MANY TIMES FOR THESE SAFETY ISSUES. A NUMBER OF CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO GM ALSO ABOUT THE VEHICLE AND ITS DEFECTIVE NATURE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED...

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...
