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.

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 🙏

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

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

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.

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.

I bought a 2007 escalade 150k miles no problem i love it best truck ever

My dad loved Cadillac’s. But the old long Batmobile looking ones. He must’ve had about 6 as o was growing up. Now I’m looking at buying one. I heard a lot of horror stories on the Northstar motor’s. I’m looking at a 07 Cadillac Escalade ESV this video really helps make my decision to buy it.

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

My 08’ Escalade has none of those issues except for front wheel bearings I replaced already . It’s only summer driven and has 80,000 miles . Good Info here, thanks ! 👍

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

So true😭 I have one and every year it’s always something I gotta fix 🤷🏻‍♀️but I love my truck

I had an 07 escalade Trust me these trucks are %100 perfect The only negative thing is the gas mileage

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.

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.

Hi. tell me please. I bought a 2012 Cadillac Escalade Platinum. I can’t understand why the display does not switch the economy mode from V8 to V4 when you are standing at a traffic light or driving slowly? Is it supposed to switch automatically or does the fuel economy mode have to be switched to manual on the instrument panel? Thank you

Also slot of these parts are interchangeable with 1500 series parts. Also some of the 2500hd parts. My ball joints and control arms are all for the 2500HD gas series . Have yet to have a new issue

Hi brother I got a question I brought a 2004 cadillac escalade and I didn't like the rims it had,so I switched them to stock rims and now my abs speed sensor light it's on and I fixed it already but the light it's still on and my computer it's not reading the code no more says traction control did u know what can be wrong with it,all because i switched the rims???now I got a bunch of mechanics with different stories!one of them said my sterling wheel motion sensor it's bad ,and another one said the tires and rims??? another one said my shocks ???can u help me out ???

Thank you for the video I’m a mechanic and that is 100%👌 correct.I also buy one esv for my wife and I a ready went true all this repair you mentioned.Very we’ll explain also you have my 👍 like 👍

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

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.

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.

Great video. Always good to listen to someone who knows what he's talking about. I 'm looking at a 05 Any issues with this year .? Thanks

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.

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.

Thank you very much this was very knowledgeable if you can can you do one on the Cadillac DTS 2008 about the actuator Motors in the top problems with that vehicle

I own a 2011 Escalade ESV , The problem is not being able to fill up the fuel tank.

Need mechanics like you everywhere!! Great video

Hello, I had a question. I just did the brakes on my ‘08 Escalade ESV and now trying to figure out to remove the “Service Brakes Soon” light the is showing on my dashboard. Would you have any suggestions on what I can do please? It’s really annoying seeing that light several times a day every single day. Thank you.

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?

My ac in my 09 randomly gets warm then cold. Which actuator should I look into replacing ?

Thank you for the video, it might help I need to discuss with my mechanic, I’m struggling 3 years with loosing power of my engine, it started when I exchanged the headlights bulb, the engine wasn’t the same, after fixing the engine reprogrammed, my car stopping on the road many times with engine needs power message and slowly stopped, pedal was changed and nothing changed my car still stopping, light engine showed up all the time but after few hours or days it is gone the car is going well till stopped again, the last message was service tracking system and stability and short after engine needs power or engine loosing power, let me know if you have any ideas?

I have a low mileage 07 ESV. I have none of these problems. My only problem is the front door inner door handles peeling chrome.

Any problems with cilinder deactivation? I know 2007-2009 don't have it.

Great video I have the long one 2012 and having that bouncing problem I wonder if I can put regular shocks on the back of it

I have 08 escalade it runs good but I’m having trouble with my dash , nothing works not much but it will jump into manual drive. Drops in low gear

Great information!! Thank you.

Hello what’s about Cadillac Escalade 6.0 engine 2002 any issues you may know of that’s my suv?

I have an 07 escalade and the oil light comes on from time to time saying there is an issue with oil pressure. Any tips? We change the oil regularly but im thinking it could be the pump rather or a seal isnt working properly?

Hi I have a 2008 Cadillac Escalade platinum I have all these issues with my truck. I have spent to much money on parts and repair. Also I saw on the news about recalls on this vehicle. Most of these are dangerous. The car stopped on me all of the sudden.

Bought my 07 Yukon Denali XL Sept 11th, 2016 with 220k! Only put about 80k on her, Been Reliable for the most Part! Only Problem I been having lately is After a Car wash water somehow is getting in the Engine Bay! Getting the Battery Wet! Gotta Change out my Shocks and Struts and uJoints. Thanks 1A Auto for keeping the How to Vids Coming!!

Could the airbags be replaced with regular shocks?

Yep, Im dealing with all these issues right now.

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 KZfaq 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!

besides the service suspension i feel this may be standard across most gm and chevy vehicles for these years, these are all the same issues i had on my 08 impala haha, all very easy to fix

What about cam lifters from DOD system

A lot I've checked out on lots maybe 1/3rd of them had broken door handles. For a VERY high end SUV the door handles seem cheap and hollow

I love these guys goooooooooo 1A Auto

Not super serious stuff . Great to know!! Thanks!!!

i love my '11 escalade. but i gotta get my '01 suburban back on the road.

So, my "07" Escalade ESV reduce engine light came on with the code p2135 and eye've (I've) changed my throttle body unit and the very next day the reduce engine light comes back on. What's there to do?

1AA you guys are the best

Thanks for sharing

What no nav screen delamination???

Great video

Cracks on dashboard !!!!!!!!! Quality!!!!

Any idea how much is the cost to fix problem #3??

Thanks for video

I got a 2007 ESV and the front head lights turn on in the day, but in the night they are all off. I'm not trying to spend 3 Williams on the light bulbs, might be a sensor. Anybody know why and how I can fix them and not rely on my fog lights at night?

The thing about caddy’s is they have some electrical problems, but mechanically if they’re maintained right they’ll last to 300k miles

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

With our 2007 Escalade the only issue in the interior is both second row seat warmers don’t work at all (Don’t remember when they ever did work.) And the front seats, it’s a gamble weather they’ll work or not that applies to the cooling and heating function. (Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t work)

Where is the blend door actuator for the rear? My AC is cold in the front but not in the back.

My ‘11 escalade wanted to fishtale when I exited the highway yesterday. It also seams as though it is breaking traction when accelerating...?

This is spot on everything wrong with my escalade

I really like the exterior lights

Thank you!

I have a couple more to add .. mirrors gears striping, trans going out at 129 k, projection lamp lights, motor mounts etc.... etc ....

I replaced a driver side airbag sensor that was defective on my own which the dealership told wasn't working so I bought one and I replaced it on my own but the dash notification still shows airbag sensor needs service. How can I reset it?

Oil pressure sensor as well

Very good info

What is the typical cost in 2022 to repair all those problems? I’m retired and have a 2011 Cadillac Escalade Premium and I’d really like to keep it but these problems as well as the ones I’ve experienced in the last 3 years are scary. However, new vehicle costs are scarier 😆

Can you do a p 0420 bank 1 on that cady . Ty

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 😪

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

My '08 Rear Access Window pops open randomly when locking/unlocking doors and even opening doors.. does anyone else have this issue

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

Thanks. Amigo

Just had my front hubs replaced on my 2006 Escalade Ext.

Air ride/ball joints is all I've had to do on my 11 EXT. Hardly drive it so I'm not a scientific example of what goes wrong. It's just my cruiser/help folks move vehicle. I drive a 2016 Escalade all over town. We shall see what goes wrong. Would like him to do a vid on that next

It's this gonna be the same problem for chevrolet suburban since it's the platform..??

Service stabilitrak prompt appearing and lighting of several warning lights for wheel bearing/other unknown part. Wish it would say what part/sensor is wrong and not just give multiple codes for one part

I have a ? I have same cadillac air blows but ac button won't stay on just blinks than turns off

good info

Are these repairs expensive. Great video..

can i replace the air ride to coils all around

I need some help. When I unlock or lock my truck all 4 doors won’t do anything there motors all click but they don’t do anything through key fob door button or changing gears nothing they are stuck they work by hand tho. The only door that doesn’t work at all is the back passenger door the latch just flys out at you if u pull it up. I need to know how to fix this thiugh

You missed the big one, rear a/c lines, notorious on every Escalade. Expensive too.

So since I live in Alaska let me tell you what goes wrong on 07 yukon denali Door handles, mass airflow sensor ,transmission coolant lines the buttons inside the vehicle get worn out, But at the end of the day I love that 6.2 motor so I can't complain👌🏽💯💯

I have had four out of the five problems with my 2008 Escalade

Nice vid

Headlight condensation ruining ballasts should be on here too. Just did a full reseal job on both front headlights... cussed the entire time.

The engine power reduced problem is a 5 volt reference issue not just pedal and throttle body it could be ac pressure sensor, oil pressure sensor, cam sensor and I know I’m missing a couple more sensors that are all connected to the same network

Can you tell me about the p0011 code on the 07 escalade

I think you forgot to mention the electrical , the ground wire on drivers side and the battery cable that takes power and every thing flickers then off

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.

My 07 RSV has 151k on it with minimal issues. Fuel pump finally gave out and 1 door handle broke. Maybe I got lucky with mine but i am far from gentle on it.

I changed out my daylight on the driver side but I notice that my driver side headlight is now pinkish but the passenger side is bright clear what’s wrong with the driver side headlight???
