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]

Honestly I was correct when I predicted this video wouldn’t have any drivetrain components. These vehicles are pretty solid and reliable.

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.

[@oldmansilas559]

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.

[@brainwashingdetergent4128]

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

[@oldmansilas559]

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

[@gatorboy74]

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

[@extrememiami]

This was spot on. I’ve had 3 Escalade’s and they’ve all had these issues. Only thing I’d add is that this car eats batteries also. Even the Agm ones only last 2 to 2.5 years. I’ll take these small issues any day.

[@Salamialayksuwp]

But they have no aux port right?

[@alecgevry96]

@@Salamialayksuwp There is an RCA port in the rear of the car behind the center console. I bought an RCA to 3.5MM headphone jack and selected rear input and that works as an aux cord.

[@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.

Thanks 1A Auto for keeping the How to Vids Coming!!

[@ericsmith9046]

Nailed it. I've had every single one of these issues on my 2007 and alot more.

[@michaelmiles1]

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.

[@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

[@Jackson_Harris]

Thank you. This video was extremely helpful on my truck for few issues I'm having.

[@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.

[@jeffalan6339]

Thanks for all your info, I am for my carpentry company going purchase an 07 to 13 in black. To make the consult, the the client. 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.

[@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]

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.

[@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!

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.

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?

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.

I've had a number 3 for about a year. Might be wiring changed pedal and throttle

[@1987timevans]

Sis you ever figure out what it was? I’ve changed the throttle body and wiring harness and still gets the throttle body code. My next move is to replace gas pedal

Biggest problems I had with these vehicles is the activation of (Stability control) after changing out both Positive and the Negative battery cable with the sensor all is good...

Help! I have this same issue currently on my 2011 Escalade. Can you give me more info on how to fix this issue?

[@josephdichristina5617]

I have a high pitch whistle coming out of passenger front vets, and have to adjust window, or tilt sunroof to change cabin pressure. How can I resolve this solution.? I saw in this video that there's an aor direction duct under driver side. Help please

[@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

What no nav screen delamination???

[@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.

[@JG-lm9fd]

You forgot wheel air leaking problem, transmission the suspension issue can be resolved get rid of air/oil/compressor and install after market struts/shocks and springs this will raise the Escalade about four inches and level.

[@1AAuto]

+John Galvin Thanks for the feedback!

[@deathofakitty]

I had 2011 we replace with different shocks expect magnetic ride control they all went bad under 6 months from AC Delco shocks to mid price after market. Yeah air leaking problem is big problems on chrome finished cracks not leaving a smooth surface on the rim to tire contact leaking air pretty bad. Also driveline shock noise is common too.

[@huberthubbard8704]

I really like the exterior lights

[@dgstudioLLC]

Everything you pointed out in this video I had with my truck except for the hub bearing, and heater mode. I just replaced the purge valve solenoid and the throttle body intake yesterday. The check engine light is off now and the truck ride great. I was losing power. Nice truck but poorly built

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 😪

2010 EXT Platinum 6.2, 175000 miles - Exhaust manifold bolts break, Oil pressure sensor dies, Shocks lock up, Oil cooler lines rust out and leak, Dash panel splits, Wheels lose air due to porosity and bad chrome, Wheel enter caps won't stay on.....

[@x-wingerchannels]

When these cars were new thread problems did not exist but because of years of sitting or use the car from early 2000s wear out

[@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.

[@dreid2844]

Hey A1 Auto..which is better to buy? 2007/08 cadillac escalade or 2007/08 Toyota highlander?

[@mujjuman]

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER,it doesn't have the elegant look of an Escalade but it won't be in the shop either...

My problem is that I changed my TPMS sensors and when I turn off my vehicle, it no longer reads the tire pressure on the dashboard, replaced and relearn the tpms sensors 2 times, and still has the same issue, was told it maybe the remote door lock receiver or RDLR fuse, but I cant find the fuse ir where the receiver is located

[@1AAuto]

+Only1Mystic 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! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
