Engine Noise problems of the 2026 Cadillac Escalade

Driving on highway and knocking/bumping noise came from engine area and smoking badly. Almost imedaitally losing power. Oil spray from engine covered running boards and back of vehicle. Not sure of exact components could aslo be more powertrain components and not just engine. We can make sure vehicle is available for your inspection if needed. The dealer confirmed "catastrophic engine failure" . We have not been given details on exact cause or components. Safety of driver and three pasengers were put at risk as the issue happened on a highway with lots of traffic risking causing an accident. Sat on the side of the road for two hours waiting on tow truck from the dealership. The car is currently at delaership as they have not yet told us the exact issue but it is an engine/powertrain failure is all they have said. Vehicle is currently at authorized cadilac dealership in lamesa, TX. There were no warning lights or sounds before the engine noise and loss of power. The check engine light did not come on until engine power had been lossed and sitting on the side of the road. The engine warning light did not come on for a few minutes after losing engine power.
