general problems of the 2009 Cadillac Escalade

The contact owns a 2009 Cadillac Escalade. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the battery was drained. The contact called aaa, who had installed the battery incorrectly. The battery was replaced. While driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle started to shake. The vehicle lost motive power with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who determined that the system needed to be reset, and the vehicle was working as designed. The failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the cylinder head was cracked, and the air compressor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

After driving car all day off and on, it suddenly went into limp mode. Multiple misfires. Service traction t control and service stabilitrak warnings. Engine light flashing. Car had oil. Replaced oil pressure sensor. Replaced spark plugs. Wires. And coils. Will not clear misfire and won’t go out of limp mode. $7500 fix. This is ridiculous. I have heard of 15 others with the same issue.

Low oil pressure causing engine failure, suspension issues constantly, limp mode won’t go off.

Lifter failure resulting in a bent pushrod, camshaft, and piston damage. The engine was very dirty like the oil changes were neglected. I always changed the oil in 5,000 mile increments or less depending on driving conditions. The owners manual and oil filler specifies mobil 1 5w30 oil. When I was working I always had the shop next door change the oil with mobil 1. After I retired in 2019, I had the nearby gm dealer change the oil. I was unaware that they were substituting dexos oil which is not what the owners manual or fill cap specifies for this vehicle. This resulted in premature engine failure. With dexos you could be getting oil that is inferior to mobil 1 full synthetic. See [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

 for approx. The past 6 months, the radio has been cutting out several times during my daily commute. On occasion, a message would appear saying stabilitrack is off. Saturday, it cut out and stayed off for more than 30 minutes and did it several more times. Everytime the radio cuts out, the door locks started locking and unlocking on their own, the air conditioning, cooled front seats, and defrost turns on and the seats the airbag off light came on, and a warning message saying service stability system came on, plus the engine was revving without power and I was worried I was going to lose all electrical and control, so I pulled off the we have ran several diagnostic but found no error code messages and nothing wrong with the vehicle. When I was talking to them, the system was acting normally. I have taken the car to the dealership and my local family mechanic shop. We have paid extensively to change the grounding wire, battery, cables, fuses and other grounding components to resolve this issue. It is very dangerous and has caused my family to jerk and sometimes be hit in the process. It has died on the highway and creates an extreme possibility for accident to others, if this continues to occur. I typically would not reach out in this manner and I would just replace the vehicle, but through further research, others have also had this problem, reported it on the Cadillac forum and we have not been added to the previous electrical recall or gotten resolutions. This is my last resort before this becomes a fatality for some owner.

Initially my fuel gauge stopped working. I assumed it failed and was going to have it replaced. The following day when I started the car the engine light came on, and I thought it might have something to do with the fuel gauge issue. I was on my way to drop the car off at the dealer the same day and while driving a warning message stated that the traction control was inoperable, it then went into limp mode. I barely made it off the highway. When I pulled into a safe location I heard a pop under the car and everything started shutting down. The engine started sputtering, eventually quitting. I looked under the car and after crawling around I noticed the wiring clips holding the wire loom above the front drive shaft had failed. The wiring loom has enough slack in it to then wrap itself around the front drive shaft, finally snapping the wires. A total of 9 wires snapped. This is most likely only an issue for those with awd as it was the front drive shaft that the wires finally wrapped around and caused multiple systems to fail immediately. Luckily it was during the day in an area I was familiar with. Had this happened at night or on a trip, this could have turned into an entirely different issue. A much more dangerous one.

The truck was stationary and oil and power stering fluids was on my carport. I have checked for problems on the internet and more than a few is having the same problems with the same SUV.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Cadillac Escalade. While at a stop light, the vehicle seized. In addition, the vehicle failed to start on occasion and the check engine indicator had been illuminated for an extended period of time. The vehicle was taken to earnhardt Buick GMC (6501 centennial center blvd, las vegas, nv 89149, 702-951-8200), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 209,000.

Stuck throttle at 4000+ rpms: while passing a car on a straight two lane highway, the engine stayed at 4000 rpms or greater after the throttle pedal was released. No carpet or floor mat was impeding the throttle pedal. The pedal was pressed hard and release several times to try to disengage the throttle but rpms stay above 4000 rpms. The transmission was placed into the manual position but rpms continued to stay above 4000 for approximately 3. 5 miles and 2. 5 minutes with the vehicle uncontrollably going in excess of 90 mph. The brake pedal was applied throughout the stuck throttle event but the brakes became overheated and ineffective. Eventually the vehicle gear shift selector was moved into the neutral position and the vehicle coasted to a stop with the rpms still at 4000+ prms. While stopped the ignition was turned off and only then did the rpms go from 4000+ to zero. The Cadillac dealer stated they removed the throttle body and replaced the throttle body sensor to repair the stuck throttle issue.
