1A Auto Parts don’t forget the malfunctioning trans temp sensor. My wife’s turns on for a one day at least every other month. I will need to replace with an updated model
+Rick Macias Thanks for checking us out!
You can also add belt driven vacuum pump and shuddering issues or shift quality with the 8spd transmission to the list.
Thanks
Water pump leak at 45k miles 2019 Escalade. Warranty replaced
This car has gave me nothing but problems… very comfortable but so delicate
The AFM collapsed lifter problem runs you about $5000-6500 and in most cases GM will recommend an engine swap. Amazing that this has not been a recall since this problem has been going on for over 5 years now with all GM's V-8's across the board with Active Fuel Management.
Just replaced my engine because of the AFM smh
I own a 2015 CTS and GM has gotten away with so so many engineering flaws. From the rear differential to the infotainment system that have problems at 40k miles and just after the warranty is up. I think that bailout money made them even greedier. Considering making a CZcams video. I’m buying Japanese or Korean next time, all about engineering.
My AFM collapsed on mine, and dealership swapped the engine ($10K)
Happened to my Grandpa. Very disappointing
Been going on since 2007 . And they don’t care because they make tons of money off of it
Thanks for sharing I have a 2018 model which just hit 42,000 I purchased it with 35,000 miles. After noticing the power issues you mentioned I switched it to sport mode and knocked on wood haven’t had any problems I just had a alignment it passed. Again thank you for sharing
I would of included the fan turning and staying on issue but good to know about these other five common problems.
1A Auto, you missed some of the more important issues with the Escalade.
-Rear backup camera is horrible especially at night time.
-The CUE entertainment screen freezes or turns off.
-front Magnaride shocks go out between 45-60k miles and the rear ones around 70k miles.
-Transmission shudder, there's a tech bulletin for it since they never issued a recall.
-Rear AC system doesn't vent properly out the vents due to collapsed/detached pillar fittings.
-Rear windshield wiper spray, the clip that connects the hose to the motor dries out, cracks and therefore hose disconnects and when actuated, the washer fluid leaks all over the inside headliner.
These are just some of my own experience and a lot of other owners have the same issues.
+canucha1985 Thanks for the feedback!
Yes cue system freezes and sometimes just turns black. Factory resets have no worked for me so far
@@davidfreeman6509 Having the same problem with the CUE system; cadillac escalade 2016, black display; stealership just keeps talking trash about changing the display with a chinese one from aliexpress, because warranty is expired, and wants to charge $1500.00, i said no thanks and took my escalade to my home ( stealership is 20 min from my home so, no problem at all); i want to go the route of the HMI module, but there's a little problem; unit is out of stock until june or july, so, now i'm stuck with a $100,000 paperweight parked in my garage with barely 8,000 miles on it.
On the other hand the 2015 toyota yaris (or echo) my brother purchased in 2020 with 40,000 miles on it, just keeps going and going and going, same with the 1998 vw golf with almost 200,000 miles on it, even the a/c in that car still works, .............not to mention the 1994 Ramcharger we still own with 128,000 miles on it, just starts and drives like butter on the road, no problems at all.
GM, you are pathetic
My issue with my Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum is the key fob , I have to take it out of my pocket to start the engine. The connection is weak even though the battery is new.
Yes that wireless charging system is such a pain! I have to reposition my phone several times on the pad to make a connection.. sometimes it just doesn't work at all
Thanks! Very helpful!
Wow, misfire one is cheap repair, just new engine. good video!
I love my 2015 Escalade, but I am having constant issues with the drivers assist system. The collision detection sensors keep going out. The adaptive cruise control sensor needs to be replaced again. I’m not happy with the shoddy sensors in these vehicles. General Motors needs to do better. It’s a shame because I absolutely love my Escalade.
Thanks..👍
I've seen one with over 400k miles selling for 8 grand. I'm tempted to buy it
I have an O2 excursion and I was thinking about giving it up and getting one of these. But after looking into them I think it’s not a good idea.
Good to know before you Buy! Great info! I wonder if there's is a way to turn off the Cylinder Deactivation to pro vent the Valve from Collapsing. Maybe a Fuse or Button?
Range technology AFM/DFM disabler 🤷♂️ been using it over a year now with 60k miles with it in the car no more shuddering/drone noise.
Please i need a opinion which one better year or model 2015 -2020 thanks for your help
Thanks for the the info . But mine happens to start making flickering noises on the dash board and lights flickering on the option section sport mode the snowflake ❄️ started flickering making my pedals move up and down . Pls help . It’s in the shop but they can’t figure it out 🤦🏼♀️ smh .
The cell phone charging capability is also based on the case the phone is in. The case can block wireless charging.
i seen 2016 i like but im having 2nd thoughts now. that engine lifter problem is crazy, i read in the comments its 5k to 6.5k
I have a 2019. The only issue I’ve had is a hesitation while towing. It seems to shake a little as if I’m going over bumps. Mostly happens while going slightly uphill, only while towing. Runs perfect when not trailering.
What a good scanner you recommend for idle reset
I have 2015 Escalade ESV. I have 2 issues with my SUV
1: The GPS isn’t working and doesn’t locate the location. Apparently the antenna isn’t working and will cost $1000s of dollars.
2: wireless charging is t working.
3: when shifting from 4WD to Auto isn’t shifting.
4: mic stopped working. People hear don’t you on the other end but you can hear them. Way to fix this issue is to disconnect the battery and connect again and this issue was resolved.
Any ideas of how to fix or get the antenna for the GPS work again?
Brake lights on these things aren’t problematic but are expensive to replace like 700$ per tail light since its an LED unit but that goes with almost every new car😔😔
I had a 2015 Ford Expedition with the 3.5L Ecoboost. I had the same problem with the throttle body and had to replace it all together.
That seems super reliable to me in this day in age.
Most of these issues are uncommon from 2018-2020, different transmission and torque converter, throwing out that shudder/shake problem,15-17 8speed 18-20 10speed tranny, wireless charging is usually trash however 15-17 is only compatible with some androids/samsungs no apple iphones, the lifter collapse issue is any vehicle with cylinder deactivation or dod/afm.
My iPhone 12 works for wireless charging but you need it out of its case
@@jamesvincent414 same
I have a Cadillac escalade 2015 it has to issues , steering Assist Reduce message, and stabilitrak, I went to the shop , they removed and replaced steering wheel angle sensor, programmed and (cleared codes,) and removed and replaced active safety control module and programmed ( cleared codes) I paid $ 2,032.31 . But it still the same what can I do? I am really frustrated. 😔😔😔😔😔
Good job!!!

Just wondering is it is possible to have a front
camera of 2015 escalade?
Eres bueno amigo
I own a 2018 escalade, and I'm having electrical issues. I believe it is something with the ground harness.
Hello !! this video is really helpfull !! I have my Escalade 2016 and started showing me some problem when i drive on the cruise mode for 50 or more miles the cruiser shut down by self, and i need turn off the cruiser for around 20 minutes and turn on again, some times the cruiser works, some times doesnt. I bringed my car to the Cadillac Dealer, but they never founded anything on my car. Do you guys have seen this problem before?
Best REgards
Vinicius Santos.
I'm about to buy a 2017 scale, do you think I'll make a good purchase or buy another car, please help
Hey 1A-Auto for the cellphone wireless charging all you have to do is add a second coil and it should charge any cellphone (as long as the cellphone has the capability to be charged wireless). The Cadillac dealer wanted $300 for this but I was able to do it myself for $60 + taxes....... I don't have the information what I purchased as this happened over 2 years ago :-( sorry but internet is very good for these type of searches.
My long range radar is out, and it looks like the module is bad. As far as I can tell 2016 you can not use 'regular' cruise control, only adaptive. Later models you could do either. Does anyone know if you can get a 2016 to work in cruise, without adaptive?
Man you need to do a follow up video and add the Heater Coil that's been a problem with all generations of Escalade and GM Trucks. The are the ultimate pain to replace because of the Dash removal process. Cost 1000s.
The ABS module and or the pump also.
These should be number 2 and 3 in all GM trucks from 2000 to 20. Never been addressed.
Thank you, sir i have a cadillac escalade esv, and has a misfire issue , but doesn’t shows up any code, i just can tell you, when i ‘m driving 50 mph and continue, the car looks like fails then i have to accelerate hard and go, i’ll appreciate if you help le out in this issue. Also if you know standard ranges gas bomb high pressure GDI 2019 cadillac escalade esv
Front magnetic struts. Almost guaranteed to start leaking around 60k miles.
+Kevin F Thanks for the feedback!
Is it better to upgrade the struts or just replace?
I have a 2016 Escalade ESV and the leather dash is bubbled and lifting, I’ve read a lot of other owners have this same issue. Any advice on how I could fix this? Thanks!
+Brittnie Guise We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I also have the random alarm going off. (2016 platinum). I happens every few months. I have searched for any real solution and / or work around. Do you have any information on the cause, or ways to disable? (other than valet mode) thanks!
That alarm is something in the front passenger seat…
Can anyone please put a video of the 2018 Escalade Rack and Pinion Replacement.
Dear. Can You provide me part no for vibrating motors in seat You mentioned in 4:57 minutes . Thanks for answer. Best regards
I need this guy to be my mechanic where you at fam
More tech, more problems.
Pretty much in other words... do not invest in a newer vehicle, lease it if you can.
my cue screen frozen for months.. given me 2 options OK and language.. what shoud i do .. 2018 escalade esv ??
please make a video about suspension issues with the 15-20 models
+D. Hernandez We do not have a video for this right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
The magnetic shocks are a piece of junk. They give a very rough ride.
This is why i love my 2005 cadilliac escalade esv platinum. It Does Not have all this electronic crap that WILL break!!!
Except that pesky Passcode security system (all GM trucks and suv's from 1998 to 2006) that will stop reading the key in the ignition cylinder. Leaving you stranded. Had to wire a resiter into the ignition cylinder so it "thought" there was always a key in it.
For wireless charger you can buy upgrade for around 100$ , it takes 20 min to replace
Any common problems with the Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon 2007-2014?
They made a video on those GMT 900s a while ago you have to search for it
I own a 2016 escalade and the problem that I have is with open hood sign went the hood is close. This is only happen went I close my windows two at a time, dealer ship told me that is the body sensor witch was replaced but the problem persists.
Can you please tell me what can this be?
Great video and I just wanted to ask if there are any common problems with the 4th gen toyota 4runners?

I had a 2016 runner for 4 years. Loved that truck. Upgraded to the ESV.
Hello, I am from Europe, specifically from Poland. We Europeans appreciate exotic cars, including American ones with powerful engines. I am deeply saddened that Americans complain a lot about the Cadillac Escalade - I didn't think they were so prone to breakdowns. I have a question for you: would it be a better choice to go for a 2010 Suburban
Been having engine and transmission error. A Engine power down error occurred when driving
Have a question. The cadillac place where bought our escalade stated that my extended warrant would pay for the air shocks and spring which left us stranded on the side of the road. I thought extended warranty would most definitely cover it. The warranty paid for the transmission. We are very 😕 confused. Can you give me some advice please. The device reception said it was going to be 2000
Yup a lot of warranties don’t pay for the air. Same with my s550 but they will pay for the standard suspension. That’s why it’s best to go with the diamond package over platinum
Depending on the part number is how they get you. Its can say it cover suspension but just a certain part number. Happen to me on my 2015 Escalade
Will 2021 model fix cylinders deactivation problem?
Doubt it. Cylinder deactivation has been around since 2007 on gm and its still a problem
Any common problems with the 2013-2016 Ford Fusion ?

Good info does anyone have any vibration shaking not the shocks 22" wheels are they hard to balance anyone else have problems or remedies to fix it?
I have a rattle that I think is the exhaust. 2015.
If hard to balance thats usually a tire issue or balancer issue oh and probably the loose nut behind the balancing machine
I posted a video on my CZcams, my 1998 ram 1500 is having issues. As soon as I start the engine it revs up and down 3-5 times from about 1500 to 1800rpm then it idles at about 700rpm. I changed out the idle control valve about a week ago thinking it would fix the problem but didn’t. Any help would be appreciated!
Kids born in 1998 are graduating college and are starting to realize their education isn't worth it. Throw it away and buy something newer 😂
My 2019 Cadillac Escalade has 107,000 miles and it just started misfiring, I changed injectors, change, spark plugs, change, coil wires, and it still does it
Would check in compression, give me a good indication of a collapse lifter
My 2015 Cadillac Escalade back running lights are not working, do you think it's the fuse?

I wanted to buy a 2015 Escalade but then I watched this video. Now I don't want it anymore. Thank you
I have a 2015. So far the Cue system went crazy on me and had to be replaced. Now the torque converter is starting to chatter. 55k miles.
+Ryan Simon Thanks for checking us out!
Do the transmission fluid change TSB, that will fix the chattering.
Can we use a Toyota engine in the Cadillac chassis?
Wife heard vibrating seat. I'm at the dealer now. Thanks
I have problem with cruise control unavailable while driving some time
Esclade 2017? What to do

what phones are compatible
Hay what about the transmission temperature sensor
I had that issue. Took it in and it was covered under the warranty thankfully
My Escalade is making a knocking sound not sure what it is. Mine is a 2018 any one had that issue on theirs?
The lifters on mine 2015
Did you get it fixed
Молоток. Очень позновательно и по делу.👍✌️
I have a 2016 Escalade 2wd suv.
my remote start doesn't work.
my lift gate button on the liftgate doesn't work nor does the interior control.
my cruise control isn't working.

I own a 2019 cadillac escalade
Looking at buying a 2015 Escalade. The system is stuck in Spanish even after hard reset. Anyone else had this happen? Been looking at gm SUV’s and everyone of them has something wrong. I’m bout to run from them all.
Man you pay all that money for this bs to f... up. Damn shame. Still like it though
Yeah that's crazy...it's a shame since escalade is the king of SUV..so called....i have one and currently have 40k miles on it.....hope it last another 30 k miles lol
how do you permanently disable the alarm? keeps randomly going off. not worth the headache of pissed off neighbors.
Pull the fuse
Scott, did you ever solve this. Mine was doing the same thing and I discovered it was my interior intrusion alarm. I didn't even know I had. The first time was when I left the sunroof open and it rained. The rain set it off. The second time I left the roof open on a very windy night and it went off. It did go off a couple other times with everything closed, so I think it is just very sensitive. Or you have mice in your car. But I turned it off and it never happened again.
Will you have the same type of problems like that with a Tahoe?
Is the same truck
Can you please tell me how to find the PCV valve on that truck? Thank you!!
Might be built into the valve cover
With the phone charger if you flip it facing the rear it will work.... weird but that's the only way mines worked. With that said it charges slow as hell lol
I was debating on owning these but due to all those crazy issues, I’m better off paying $5000 for a 2005 Escalade and paying $4-8K on fixing and upgrades rather than pay $60K for a new used one
+Joe Luis Thanks for the feedback!
Joe, you might be on to something. I've had my 05 escalade for 11 years with minor repairs. The only issue I have now is with the traction control sensor which can easily be bypassed by pressing the deactivate button. The rear air suspension compressor was another issue but easily fixed. Overall it has been a great vehicle for me.
I had an 03, no issues, lil electronic gremlins, have an 08, broken door handles, rear main seal leaks, window regulators failing. Trim pieces breaking. Otherwise not sure if I wanna go 4th gen? Maybe the 2019
I’ll just wait for the Lexus version.
Thought Escalades only had the 6.2 which does not have afm
Why would anyone dislike this video?
6 Engine Valve
7 transmission torque converter
8 rear differential
9 Power steering Pump
10 Engine Valve lifters
11 Engine Valve pushrods
Owe a 2015 escalade. Nothing but trouble honestly.
for that much money it should not have these issues for sure. NOw me after looking to buy a used ESV platinum hmmmmm probably stick with my GX 460
As a former GM contractor, who has put time in multiple GM plants in Michigan, I will NEVER buy ANY GM product…. EVER ! Can you say , “ A social engineering company that builds junk vehicles “
GM engineering standards and disregard for Quality Control is shocking ! You can run parts for a GM vehicle down lines intended for Asian manufacturers. However, you can never run Asian parts down ant line intended for GM standards. The acceptable tolerances for GM are scrap in Asian standards ! FACT !!
OUTSIDE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE CHEAPLY MADE
I really love that beautiful SUV for me please pray 🙏🙏❣️🙌 for me to get the SUV please let me know please
In jesus name u will get one
I got one...you can do it too...
Prayin' 4 you homie!
I really like de Cadillac ct6v wish I had 1 damn 😟
Yes! Because jesus would rather you be in a luxury SUV 🙌 🙄
Wow my lifter jus went out at 97000 miles
I have a 2016 and there's a squeak from the front driver side suspension. I have 54k miles, what might it be?
+D. Hernandez We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Bro those things go out at about 50k
How asleep do you have to be to travel outside the lane lines? Cars are overpriced these days because of all the unnecessary technology manufacturers use to superficially differentiate their products so that they don’t have to compete on price!
I would never get a caddie truck newer than a 2014 again.. 🤬
We’ll I think I got a bad lifter 🤦♂️
The AFM is the most stupid thing they ever came up with. Gm could have a 300k mile motor like the early ls engines are but they put those trash lifers
2023 Escalade Rear Camera guidance lines do not appear. GM says known issue as of date of this comment. See a blue hourglass on screen

What year and how many miles?
Dear Tony Lawson we would like to speak to you about your cars extended warranty 🤣
All GM cars have Throttle Body problems
NY N Fords also have throttle body problems.
not mine
This is all complete BS.!!! I still own my 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT Premium. An even older Generation Escalade. It has 160,000 miles plus on the Odometer. All I have replaced are Tires, Brake Light Bulbs! Other than that just routine Motor, Transmission and other fluid service changes and Tune-Ups.!!! I could NOT be more pleased with this Cadillac. The power of the 6.2L Engine and all the Luxury options are phenomenal …GTFOH with this BS Video.!!! 😱🤣👍🏾
He's reviewing newer 2015 and up..not your old 2010 dinosaur
Those Escalades from that era are basically tahoes, little tech and very analog, relatively more durable than the new ones
I'm William Carlisle and I will be here at the house and get the SUV please let me know please
