Camshaft and bearings break affects oil pressure with no indication until it is to late and you have to replace the motor

- Kansas City, KS, USA

First it started out with the Low Oil Pressure stop engine light had it check out by an independent service center. I was told what the problem maybe, purchase several parts for the SUV but that didn't solve the problem within 72hrs the low oil pressure light stop engine was back on and then this vehicle started cutting off and don't want to crank back again until several hours later. Had a second opinion from a different service center but that didn't work continue to do the same. - By this SUV cutting off in traffic and not cranking back -Was told my mechanic from a service center that it could be the lifter in side the engine. -No -Low oil pressure stop engine warning messages, Check engine light.

I have a 2007 Cadillac Escalade and on the dash it will read oil pressure low stop engine and the oil light will come on then back off. Upon research from a shop mechanic he said that it was common for those 6.2 motors for the cam bearings to go bad causing no oil to reach the top of the motor and could cause engine failure and motor to come apart and kill someone

Engine has rod knock like noise and GM says its carbon build up on the pistons have heard this noise on several Cadillac Escalades with the 6.2liter engine from 2007 -2014 mine faisled as a result of this noise and and was ignored by GM corporation I am concerned for other with this same condition. This noise happened in the morning even after warm up on not after car has already reached its operation oil pressure. And would last for up to 5 minutes every time I started the vehicle and was more noticeable on cold mornings this was a motor with 70K miles on lt and was a 3 year, 100, 000 mile warranty motor

2007 Cadillac Escalade apparently was built with severe camshaft and bearing issue. 1st. Stabilitrak, traction control light and warning. Straight and level driving on clear dry day. This is when engine was running on highway and engine fully at operating temperature. This forced transmission/engine into limp mode. Mccaddon dealership installed complete transmission cost over $8,000---- issue came back. Then they replaced fuel pump. Then they replaced oil pump which seemed to fix issue, cost $2084.04. Now at 225,000 miles oil pressure low, stop engine light, and warning gong. No oil leaks, oil levels always watched and maintained with regular changes. Took into dealership thinking they would replace oil pressure sensor. Instead they charged $130 to diagnose that engine was losing pressure. Their solution, replace engine at cost of $10,000. Now online search indicates that this is actually caused by bad camshafts and bearings. Not sure what I will do, but doubt I will pay dealership to replace engine at cost of $10, K. GM needs to own up to defective part and recall. Some would say what do you expect from car with over 200K miles? I expect it to be diagnosed correctly, root cause identified and fixed first time. Or at least 2nd time, or 3rd time. Other bills on this car for various things from manifold bolts $1220 which included a power steering hose, axle wheel bearing $704, ball joints, $2015, engine seals$831.77.

Takata recall---2007 Cadillac Escalade, stability light control comes on and off. Also triggers my engine light to stay on. Traction control light stays on as well. I have replace the timing chain, cam shaft, oil pressure sensor, new shocks, new compressor, and I keep the oil changed. Even the Cadillac dealer has went thru and thru this vehicle replacing all this stuff and thousands of dollars later, to still doing the same thing and they even said they have no clue of why it keeps doing this. I have had nothing but problem after problems with this Cadillac and something needs to be recalled to fix these issues not on the owners pocket. On GM's pocket. This vehicle is enough alone without having to continue sinking money after money it is to just try and fix this issue. Very disappointed in Cadillac's and this is my 2 one, but probably my last one because who wants to fork out 80,000 for a new one, to continue forking out with issues. These issues severely needs a recall before it takes peoples lives. Soon as these lights come on, and you give it gas, if feels like the transmission is going to fall out in the road. Jerks you everywhere. This is a daily problem, not just a one time issue.

Takata recall airbag inflators, have not yet been replaced. I received my recall notice in 2016 and have taken my vehicle to ron carter dealership in friendswood, tx where the vehicle was purchased, however, I was informed that the replacement part was not in and it will be indefinitely. The truck has a hard time accelerating when trying to keep speed or trying to go to a higher speed, also a noise is coming from the vehicle after I turn on the ignition. I was informed by ron carter Cadillac that I needed to file a claim once I receive the recall notice to fie a claim on or about 10/2017. I have been trying to get my vehicle recall taken care of since 11/2017 not to long after I purchased the vehicle approximately July 2017

I been fighting this P0011 code for over a year. I've replaced the whole engine, sensors, ECM, and other things associated with this problem. This code can be anything. Doesn't make any sense for 100 things to be associated with 1 code. I've owned many vehicles and I honestly never experienced a problem like this. Costed me over 10K in diagnostics, parts, and labor. I'm not the only 1 with this problem. Very unfair. Cadillac should be responsible for this problem. This engine design has too many flaws!

Vehicle stalled out in very heavy traffic in both Maryland, and Indiana while I was on vacation. This occurred on a major highway in both occasions that was packed with traffic.this incident could have easily resulted in a major accident that could have been harmful to both me and my family. This incident happened on 2 occasions, July 16th 2016 and July 22nd 2016.dealership at first could not find the problem as was the case with the first Cadillac dealership in bethesda Maryland. The 2nd dealership took a week to create, identify, and hopefully repair the problem. Replacing fuel pump ended up being the call. $1005 dollars later I certainly hope that this fixed the problem. This indeed is a huge safety concern as it does not show any warnings it just stalled out.

Escalade having same issues as everyone else. Oil pressure due to poor build and cut backs on General Motors behalf. A unit with a price up words of $70-$80K should not have the issues. We as the customers and the victims should not pay the price and our own lives (families lives) for a companies selfishness. Passenger seat control module burnt due to yet another faulty GM product. They seam to not care and want to fix the issues that can again lead to harm to anyone in and around the vehicle. I still own this vehicle but it has been a utter disgrace of what kind of products we have been sold. To this day would like to know why the company recalls parts that would cost them nickels and dimes and not the major items that can lead to disasters like death. For crying out loud they replaced my de others dash...(dash). So replace a plastic dash that has no harm what so ever and oh don't mined if you truck catches on fire do to faulty modules. Shame how GM has let a company like Toyota who actually listens to the costumes seem like a more patriotic company and keeps their customers safe on the roads. Thank you for your time, now it's time for action. I still drive the truck everyday and pray I don't die every time.
