Top 5 Problems: Cadillac Escalade SUV 3rd Gen 2007-14

[@gunny1391]

I've been a GM owner my entire life. The rear main, rear diff, air ride shocks, radiators, coolant quick release fittings, and oil pressure sensors are common problems also.

[@bretmelton7116]

My brothers rear diff was a major issue. Lots of leaky oil also.

[@Liceaedgar]

I bought a 2007 escalade 150k miles no problem i love it best truck ever

[@aramotselaw3794]

YES! Both passenger side door handles have come off, both front hub bearings replaced, air ride assist shocks replaced. Otherwise, I LOVE my ‘13 Platinum ESV! Thank you 🙏

[@TheJared1445]

True, just gotta keep an eye on the oil pump and bypass the Active Fuel Management, so many horror stories with it screwing up the oil flow and engine wear. My lil bros 13' Yukon Denali is getting its second engine replacement. Otherwise they're solid! I always wanted a 13-14 ESV Premium. That whole pkg is beautiful and are well within my price range.

Note to automakers. Some things don’t need to be computerized. Like the doors that control the airflow. The old levers and connected to the doors worked beautiful for decades. Just a thought.

[@chek1n]

nope, the plastic for those levers break eventually. these electronic ones are a lot less common to fail if you live in an area without a lot of rust like california.

[@TeeroyHammermill]

@@chek1n Yea the plastic will break after 25-30 years. The electronic crap fails in 12-15 years....or less.

Actually those where never levers they where controls for vacume lines which are horrible and never ever ever need to return.

Chek1n what’s cheaper and easier to change, a $1.00 piece of plastic, or a $100.00 computer chip?

Yup, the less tech there is, the less likely it is for something to break

My dad loved Cadillac’s. But the old long Batmobile looking ones. He must’ve had about 6 as o was growing up. Now I’m looking at buying one. I heard a lot of horror stories on the Northstar motor’s. I’m looking at a 07 Cadillac Escalade ESV this video really helps make my decision to buy it.

[@h20mxracer222]

I'm the 2nd owner of an 07 Escalade EXT with 157k miles. Extremely clean and immaculately maintained truck. It has a cold engine knock since the day after I bought it. Sounds like a diesel/bad rod until engine gets warm and then it goes away. No one at multiple dealerships knows exactly what it is. I've heard of many other people with same problem. Another common issue is driver's side motor mount and rust issues on bottom of door sills/rocker panels.

[@michaelgrudt2619]

Is the knock heard at idle or when driving?

[@josep7831]

My 2010 escalade esv had the same noise,took it to my mechanic and it was the knocking sensors

[@jonathanpetersheim3304]

Might be the exhaust manifold Mine made a ticking noise until the engine got warm. I replaced the exhaust manifold and that solved the problem

[@dropzonemedia7811]

You are not alone. I had my engine rebuilt at 125k miles. Still has the same knock. Same motor mount issue even after installing new mounts with the engine install. Torque converter went bad, cost me another $1000. $4,600 to rebuild the 6.2 after a spunt rod bearing. Im starting to think this truck is a money pit. Overall, i think its a horribly designed SUV, my 05 Escalade was much more reliable

[@LT1210]

If your engine has the displacement on demand/active fuel management the "knock" you are hearing is most likely a collapsed lifter. I have a Chevy Avalanche that does the same thing with 170,000 miles.

[@danielramsey1959]

My 2014 Escalade developed severe chrome corrosion on the rims, it was so bad the tires were losing air daily, and a new rim is $870, also 3 of my door handles broke but I used JB Plastic Weld to build up the nutsert area , I added a secondary battery ground cable and I change my oil before 50% service life. They say never use anything heavier than 5w 30, I add a small amount of Marvel Mystery Oil to oil and gas and always Dexos rated oil, Pennzoil Platinum is my choice.

[@michaelmomcilovich9839]

The electrical issue is common. The SUV loses power while driving or at start up. I found this to be caused by the battery cables becoming loose where the wire connects to the battery post connectors. Replace the cables.

[@ScarabChris]

Owner of a 2008 Escalade EXT here. 6.2 with all wheel drive. I have owned the truck since 2012 and it had only 30k miles when I got it. Here are what problems I have found. Currently the truck has 87k miles. 1) Bad front CV axles. I replaced these about a year ago. 2) Rear air assist shocks leak down. When I hook my trailer up I hear the pump level the truck but it slowly leaks down putting a squat in the rear of the truck. (next repair on the list) 3) I feel a clunk when it down shifts at low speeds. I believe it's the front drive shaft clunking in and out of the splines when the load is off the drive shaft. 4) Driver side engine mount. This is super common on all 2007-2014 GM trucks. This was a fairly easy fix. 5) Rear exhaust manifold bolt head broken off on the driver side. Another very common problem on these trucks. Makes a clicking sound until engine is warm. 6) Every so often the dash goes crazy and flashes every dummy light and the truck runs like shit. Won't get out of 1st gear. Usually shutting it off for 5 mins clears it. 7) Squeaky brake pedal. This is super annoying. Happens mostly on cooler days. Never had an issue with anything on the video except maybe the suspension system but I never get the service suspension light by itself. Only when the dash goes crazy as mentioned in my #6.

[@juliobello4561]

ScarabChris we have 2010 Escalade 2wd and engine mount went bad around 180k, oil pressure sensor went bad around the same milage, front suspension was bad had to be replaced and that was in 139k, air compressor went off recent just replace it with 2001-2006 compressor bolts on and cheaper, ac/heater actuator went bad just month ago replacement was cheap and easy to fix. And I have travel with this truck to Southern California many times and to Lacey Washington visit family. I also love the 6.2 on highway feels so good over the Yukon with 5.3 and no air ride I had bad experience driving my girlfriend dad truck to Los Angeles recently.

[@leebrooks7467]

ScarabChris that’s crazy hearing , I got an 08 esv awd and she just hit 150k , only issue was bushings and and oil pan mine is making 650ewhp on stock drivetrain , sounds like yours was a lemon imo but honestly best truck I’ve ever own

[@richarde5718]

Right on point with the outer door handles. I have had 2 break so far on my 07 Slade. Also 2 big cracks in dash. Rims peeling. Rusting. But I wouldnt trade it for anything. UPDATE Just traded it on a new Ram. She needed $6k in repairs. Not worth it for a 14 YO vehicle

[@1AAuto]

+Richard E Thanks for the feedback!

[@duaneafields]

WELL...were here about repairs....what were the $6000 in repairs it needed?

[@hugosalazar7617]

Mine had lifter, oil pump, and TCM issues happen all at the same time at 176 thousand. Also at around 170 my front differential mounts went bad. A big one with these is exhaust manifold bolts rusting and breaking off. The oil pressure switch is another, that’s a joy to replace. Oh yeah and the power fold motor for the side mirrors that’s a 400 dollar repair (each mirror) another issue is the heated/cooled seat module. Yeah that harness will fire (positive and negative leads) the trick to fix that is buy the Ford harness (they make a better harness) and splice the existing one into that one. Another issues these have is the steering wheel positioning sensor, the column has to be taped and removed. For this you have to buy the 15-19 Escalade sensor because they don’t make an oem one and the standard part doesn’t even work for it.

[@ericsmith9046]

It still looks new Dont want anything new, newer means more to go wrong. My old Nova's only the point ignition was troubling. My SS replaced the 350 with 400 had it turned into 406 with lunati street racing cam. All the deserted country roads I left black on, it never broke down. my 03 Silverado has few things that need attention. I now see why my uncle traded his off 1 year before the warranty was up. let the next person have the headaches.

A lot I've checked out on lots maybe 1/3rd of them had broken door handles. For a VERY high end SUV the door handles seem cheap and hollow

[@barbaraspan1437]

I pretty much have all of those problems on my 2007 close to 190,000 miles. Peeling chrome on passenger front door handle, back driver side door handle comes off, air conditioner works when it wants to. Rarely when we need it. DVD player stopped working. Same tire area issues shown in your clip. Hesitation on acceleration. Also, back end is low. Headlight issues. Tire sensors issues with front passenger tire. No matter how many tires we put on the same issue for the passenger side front and back tires keep happening. Every three days we have to inflate tire. Despite all of that. According to a family member without permission to drive my truck she claims as she was driving everything under the hood just fell to the ground. No air bags deployed. We have spent $2,500.00 over the pass year just to get the truck back up and off the ground and rolling again. We have replaced the upper and lower arm with other repairs I forgot the name for those parts. We still need new fender and bumper. Basically around another $6,000.00 including a new fender, bumper. one rim and one front light kit and back air lift bags. I am on KZbin searching how to put on passenger fender, bumper and light kit myself. I need to get my front passenger door open for Cadillac dealer to repair recalled air bag on passenger side and to stop tire from rubbing in tire wall up against lower fender. I do not want to sale. This vehicle was my deceased dad's Caddy. If I am not able to make the repairs myself I will be forced to sell. Parts cost is not the problem. Mechanic charges makes it not affordable although they deserve every penny they work for. Just a bit tight for me right now. Making turns is the scariest for me. Pray my ability to do the repairs. I am going to need it. I am ordering the bumper and fender. If nothing else I will learn a new skill. I really rather not, lol!

I think the shops you take your ride to are charging more than necessary. Many parts are found for a reasonable price. The Tahoe, suburban, Yukon and Yukon Denali share a considerable amount of parts. The 6.2 motor is also very well built requiring less work than a 5.3. It really helps if you know how you do your own work and take the time to research the problem. My 2007 looks and runs better than many newer models I see on the road today, so maintenance and care go a long way.

All depends on how it was maintained.

[@babyboy1940781]

300 easy

I have an 07 escalade and the oil light comes on from time to time saying there is an issue with oil pressure. Any tips? We change the oil regularly but im thinking it could be the pump rather or a seal isnt working properly?

[@huberthubbard8704]

I really like the exterior lights

Where do i start. 2007 Escalade At 125k miles, had spunt rod bearing. $4600 to rebuild that 6.2. Even with barely 4k miles has a knock that everyone says is normal. Air compressor went bad $500. Torque Converter failed, another $1,000. Its back in the shop as we speak, even after new air compressor, some pressure sensor failed and exploded, all the freon came out. Not sure how much this repair will be. Also i purchased brand new motor mounts, but driver side one still operates as if it is broken. I just don’t know what to say about this truck, im tired of it. Looks beautiful, plenty of power, but I’m tired of stuff breaking

[@1AAuto]

+Drop Zone Media Thanks for the feedback!

[@eddiesgsr]

I think the shop is over pricing. For 2 grand you can get a new 6.2 and I heard of people installing for a grand. And the air compressor is about 150 on amazon remove 3 bolts and it comes right out. I change mine In literary 10 minutes

[@TeeroyHammermill]

@@eddiesgsr Ok but a modern 6.2 shouldn't be throwing a rod at 125k miles like an HT4100 from 1986. This is unacceptable. And coincidentally, $3000 was typical rebuild or replacement cost for an HT4100. Some things never change.

Video on 1st gen Armada?

[@edwardhayes3113]

I have an 08 and had a problem with the engine reduced power. Cost 400 to get fixed. Other than that no problems whatsoever. It’s been a pretty good vehicle.

Thank you for the video, it might help I need to discuss with my mechanic, I’m struggling 3 years with loosing power of my engine, it started when I exchanged the headlights bulb, the engine wasn’t the same, after fixing the engine reprogrammed, my car stopping on the road many times with engine needs power message and slowly stopped, pedal was changed and nothing changed my car still stopping, light engine showed up all the time but after few hours or days it is gone the car is going well till stopped again, the last message was service tracking system and stability and short after engine needs power or engine loosing power, let me know if you have any ideas?

Could the airbags be replaced with regular shocks?

[@alexralston22]

Air ride/ball joints is all I've had to do on my 11 EXT. Hardly drive it so I'm not a scientific example of what goes wrong. It's just my cruiser/help folks move vehicle. I drive a 2016 Escalade all over town. We shall see what goes wrong. Would like him to do a vid on that next

[@Vin3Man]

What no nav screen delamination???

[@beardedbatman9174]

So the top 5 problems are maintenance repairs on wear and tear parts? I'm surprised he didn't list brake pads and rotors...

[@itsmylife1970]

Great video I have the long one 2012 and having that bouncing problem I wonder if I can put regular shocks on the back of it

[@20tea]

You can put aftermarket shocks that eliminate the air ride suspension. Comes with parts to trick the computer so the error code disappears. You should just replace the blown shocks. More likely they're leaking air by now through the cracks in the rubber bags. Aftermarket air shocks for the denali/Escalade on Amazon or Ebay work as well. Running them on mine. You're air ride compressor should be working to control ride height.

[@eddiesgsr]

@@20tea I put the arnott shocks on mine to eliminate the mag ride big mistake. Rides horrible I should have spent the money and put the factory ones back on

[@michaelmendez5802]

I have the same vehicle the question I’m asking is the car turns on runs for like 30 minutes shut off on his own and we’re not crank back over. Wait about three hours and it turns back on I got no idea why it’s doing that if you can, please help thank you.

Please I really need help....

[@TexasRedneck]

I have a 2010 escalade esv platnium and I have an issue with coolant dash gauge not working. When I go to start the vehicle all of the gauges will do the sweep movement, go from left to right. This includes the coolant temp gauge. I've replaced the tstat and then borrowed a scan tool that can view live data. I can then see the temp of the coolant and see is rising as the vehicle is warming up. The only thing I can think is the gauge at the dash isn't working but the sweep function does work so I'm not sure if the ECU/PCM isn't sending the signal or if the gauge cluster is messed up?

[@ryanpalmer7854]

Could you all make a video to diagnose and repair the rear heat and air on a 07-14 escalade?

[@1AAuto]

+Ryan Palmer We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

My stability track light and traction control keep popping up and my escalade is running weird when those light pop up only occasionally. I'll start and it die takes like 3 trys then it'll run fine 😪

[@marx769]

Thank you!

[@frankierwhereyouralwaysast903]

My dash board shows everything is working, heated & cooled seats on the dash are on. Still no heat or cooled feeling coming to both front seats. Any insight would be appreciated, what do you suggest? I have no burnt connections.

[@nickbassanter4852]

Thank you Sir. Beautiful video. May I make you a question in something else? I have a 2008 Escalade and the reverse camera works only if I press fast 4 times the windows-lock button. Not when I put the reverse gear. I replaced the controller but nothing. No fuse is burned and the reverse lamp it works well. Do you know any idea of a possible fix? I live in Switzerland. Thank you in advance Nick
