2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE Complaints

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.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SINCE 05/27/2016 IT IS NOW 05/29/2019 AND HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED. GM NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY!

IN ALL VIDEOS I CHECKED FOR ISSUES WITH THE HEATED AND COOLED SEATS I SAW THAT ONE OF THE CONNECTORS TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD WE'RE STARTING TO MELT THE CONNECTOR. UPON REMOVING MINE, THE SAME ISSUE IS SHOWN AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL IF IT CONTINUES TO MELT AND CATCH FIRE.

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.
