Truck goes into limp mode, reduced power, stuck in second gear, stabilitrak and engine lights. Took it to the Cadillac dealership and after 3100 dollars in repairs the truck is still doing it. If the high level techs can't figure it out after 2000 in labor it's should be a recall item.

I started my vehicle one afternoon to a tapping sound dining from under the hood. I checked my oil, which was good then schedule to have my truck looked at by a mechanic. He started that the lifters and bearings needed to be replaced. I have always had the oil and other fluids changed regularly so I don't understand the expensive repair. The mechanic recommend a treatment that would give me time to save for the repair of the replacement of my engine. I now hear that engine failure is common in this vehicle. Why is...

Gm has manufactured defects/design failures into numerous parts in my 2008 cadillac escalade ext. The door handles all broke off apparently because they used weak plastic parts. The engine is stalling and won't start (possibly due to cam shaft sensor and deffective cam shaft or fuel control module they did a recall on and never fixed on my car)...Apparently the oil sensor goes 1st and then the cam shaft and oil pressure issues come next...But this is caused by a defective cam shaft in the 1st place...Very...

On three separate occasions the car has completely shut down while being driven. Twice while at highway speeds, the car lost all power, including power steering, power brakes, as I was trying to safely get over to the side of the highway, all the dash lights come back on, the radio comes on at top volume, the power comes back on. I have had it into an authorized cadillac dealership. They had it for over a week and could never replicate it or find the issue. The third time it happened on a side street, not as bad...

I will be driving and lose all power! It does it at different speeds. Its like someone turns the car off and back on. The weird thing is it will do it alot one day and then it doesnt do it for a couple of days. It always comes back on but in traffic it could be very dangerous. I have had it put on computers and it never has showed anything. And I was reading on recalls on the ignitions and thought it could be a part oif the recall

My vehicle was parked completely off, when an alarm type of sound started ringing. I looked at my car and I see smoke inside by the dash board, I called my husband and he rushes outside and grabbed a tool. He opened up the hood and alot more smoke came out, he disconnected the battery with the tool and my uncle grabbed the hose and water down the engine part of the car. The fire went out and I right away contact me insurnace.The whole electrical fuse box is burn and im not sure what else is damage in the dash board. *Tr

Started to accelerate and there was a loss of power for approximately 2 seconds and then the engine shut down. Car would not restart. I could not pull over to the curb and had to have someone help me get the car out of the middle of the roadway. Car started after sitting for 15 minutes. The car's engine fault light had been on. Took the car to the dealer for repair. They reported that the problem was a engine control module wiring harness that had been frayed by the drive shaft resulting in a number of engine faults. *Js
