Mileage: 90,406 2015 Cadillac Escalade engine: 6. 2l v8 ecotec3 has experienced lifter and camshaft failure, and the vehicle is now stalling while driving, creating a serious safety risk. I transport my disabled child daily, and the stalls are unpredictable, putting us and other drivers at risk. This issue is consistent with the pending class action harrison v. General motors llc, which alleges that 2014–present Cadillac Escalades with 6. 2l afm/dfm lifters can fail, causing engine noise, stalling, and catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle was service on 3/02/2026 at riverview Chevrolet GMC for these issues and a complaint was summit to gm for these problems. Since after having the vehicles services I have had issues with the vehicle stalling while in progress and while driving causing me to be very scary that the vehicle will completely stall out or shut down on me while on the road driving causing an accident. Please help me resolve this unsafe matter. Thank you!.
I dropped my vehicle off for transmission service maintenance with no engine issues and no check engine light. The Cadillac dealer called me the next day and said the check engine light was on and the engine was bad and needed $12,000 repair due to faulty bad designed lifter's and camshaft also stated this is a well know defect in the engine and they have replaced many 6. 2 engines. Vehicle has 59,345 miles and has a 72,000 mile powertrain warranty. I contacted gm and was told no they would not help with the cost. I drove the vehicle home and it would stall out at stop lights the stabilitrack and abs lights came on and it would not go over 35mph. Vehicle is dangerous to drive.
Vehicle will make noise as if gears are slipping, when going up the slop or on load. Potentially can stall or burnout gear and cause major accident. Cadillac should replace the vehicle.
Radical shifting shuttring unknown what gear to select into.
The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac Escalade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated. The vehicle was taken to dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there were metal shavings in the engine oil, causing transmission failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Transmission brakes at speed, feels as if I got rear ended from the back. I know that there is lawsuits against gm for this same problem that I am having. Gm knew about these transmission problems and told everyone that this 8 speed transmission was supposed to shift this way. But, now I have it parked in my driveway. Is there anyway that I can get my truck fixed?.
Vehicle has a shake that seems to be coming from the rear and can be felt in the seats, slightly in the steering wheel while driving at highway speeds ( 70+ ) this shake or vibration come in waves but never goes away long as you are traveling at highway speeds . It goes from an annoying shake to a bad shake and from a bad shake to annoying shake if that makes sense . I’ve spoken with different mechanics including the gm dealer and no one seems to have a fix just recommendation of expense part replacements that hasn’t worked for other Escalade owner with the same issue . I have experienced hard shifting from park to reverse and from 1st gear to 2nd but a temp sensor replacement seemed to have resolved the harsh shifting some what. It’s not as bad but still feel a gear thud when shifting after a cold start but not so much after it’s been driven for awhile. My main concern is the shaking . It’s an embarrassing ride with passengers to the point I avoid driving it on long trips for fear that my Escalade will break down completely leaving myself and family stranded. I’m not looking for free handout repairs I just want to be pointed in the right direction of a sure fire resolution so I can get it repaired and start enjoying my vehicle .
I bought the vehicle on may 27, 2021. I filled the tank with 87 octane on 3 separate occasions between may 27 and June 4, 2021. The engine (6. 2l v8 l86 ecotec) shut off during a trip on may 31, 2021. I was pulling into a restaurant and there were no indicators of any issues. While pulling up into the drive thru, the engine lost power. No check engine light appeared at all. On a second trip (June 6, 2021), the engine again lost power while coming off of a highway exit. This time, I experienced loss of acceleration and then the vehicle shut off as I pulled into a parking lot. Both times I had to put the vehicle into park, shut off and then start back up. Again, no check engine light. I drove the car to an auto parts store to buy a fuel additive. It was driving roughly at this point, but as I pulled into the parking lot, again a loss of power from the engine. It never started back up. Each time the vehicle shut off, I was driving it, not parked or stopped. There were also no indicators of any malfunction.
Transmission is not shifting properly. Jumps between lower gears. Followed the fix gm recommended which changed the transmission oil to one of a different type and viscosity. Worked for awhile but shifting issues have come back. A bit disconcerting when it does it. Startles and distracts the driver and can cause potential over-compensation and braking. Noticed more as winter is transitioning to spring.
I had my 2015 Escalade esv in the shop for a software upgrade and was informed that both my radiator and front struts were leaking. My truck has 40,677 miles on it. The dealer quoted me 1,532 for the radiator and 1,822 for the front struts.
1) air bag light comes on in vehicle. 2) r-134 leaks 3) body and or rear reverse light fixture has condensation and water gets in area in front of sunroof. 4) rear back door no unlock all the time. 5) powertrain work performed at dealer and experiencing slipping. 6) steering column noise/clunk.
My 2015 Cadillac Escalade has spent more than 2 months in the caddilac dealership to try and resolve issues surrounding the transmission. This car over time has shown signs of shuddering, mis-shifting, jolting and diving. Most recently the car shifts from 2nd to 1st below 20mph causing the rear wheels to spin and making the car unsafely jolt forward. Nothing seems to resolve this issue and the car is unsafe for me and my family. I have tried to work with the dealership over the last 1. 5 (4 visits) years and every time there is a new fluid or a new reprogram that gm makes them try. Most recently I opened a case with 9-576-707-5930 because the dealership has no other options on fixing the car.
We bought this car a month ago and already began with problems. It has 50k miles. There is a strange cluck coming from the transmission are while driving and gets worse when gears down. Also the recycle air system does not work. Bad smells come from the outside.

I've had this vehicle since 3-28-2019 and I'm already having shifting problems with the vehicle. After doing some research, I've discovered that this is a common issue with Cadillac. My Escalade has 45,000 miles on it, so this shouldn't be a problem. I'm worried about this hesitation problem during driving, which may led to a potential accident or worse.
I purchased a certified pre-owned 2015 Cadillac Escalade from a dealer in san diego. I have put approx 5k miles on the vehicle in the 6 months that I've owned it. It has been back at the dealer for service four times (approx 30 days total the dealer has had the car) for the same issue, which is a shuddering, hard-shift and vibration issue with the transmission. There have been no repairs that have remedied the issue. The dealer continues to follow a protocol procedure each time, none of which have worked. I have contacted general motors and will also be proceeding with a lemon law claim.
When driving the vehicle and shifting from 1-2 the vehicle jerks very hard. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times and the did all required updates needed. On the 3rd visit the dealership said this is a known issue and there is no repairing it. They said gm updated the transmission in 2019 and have not had issues since. Why would they not provide the updated transmission to all prior vehicles if it remedies the issue? while driving my car shifts so hard some times it throws me forward. This occurs when accelerating from a stop light on the road or stop and go traffic on the highway. As for the reverse issue, the car will abruptly engage the braking system making it seem as of you hit someone or someone hit you while in reverse. This occurs mainly when reversing into a parking stall. It is highly dangerous and can cause whiplash to someone who is not aware it can occur.
My condenser an my whole air conditioning system went out. I had to get it completely redone.
