The problem isnlavlr cost, as insee it

Does the 2011 2012 suffer these reliability issues

Hey bro...learned to fix it yourself...

How many miles does your escalade have

Was this video in seabrook Texas?

its not just cadilllac, its poor maintenance. people want nice looking vehicles with a/c and be damn if the brakes are grinding or the tires are bald with cords showing. when you do your own maintenance on your vehicle, you notice things that need attention. i had a bad experience with a shop 25 ish yrs ago and never had one of our vehicles in a shop since. ive done all the work to our vehicles on ramps and jack stands. a lift would be awesome i havent come across a repair where i NEEDED one. with the money i saved doing all the work myself ive built up a tool collection that any master mechanic would be proud to have. thru the yrs ive helped other people with their car repairs who couldnt afford the outrageous shop/stealership prices for labor. it pays to do your own vehicle repairs. its not for everyone though. be sure you know what youre doing and you have the right tools because if you mess something up bad, mechanics will charge more to fix your mess. good tools and knowledge are key but enjoying the job is very important. some people will do their own work to a certain level and some will do everything because its their past time. in this day and age, as long as the frame, motor and trans is good, fix the minor stuff. keep it going till the wheels fall off. plus its paid off.

Should’ve jus got sync 3.4 with CarPlay

My 07 was nothing but problems. Tranny went. Electrical components went. Suspension went. Took me to 200 thousand miles though

What year??

I bought a 2010 esv for 500, put a new motor in and trans fluid and filter, new cluster and converted my air shocks to standard shocks spent 5k for all together and my time putting it all together, took me 3 weeks to get it all done, it’s the labor that kills ppls wallet, pays to have the mechanics knowledge

$2,000.00 per yr maintenance is pretty normal! Sounds like you bought a Lemon Used vehicle or have ignored maintenance needs for a long time, Either way it IS your Fault!!

2000 2006 best Chevy trucks bro

Being a 2007 depending on how many miles are on the odometer it's not even worth 10k. Bummer man sorry to hear about all those problems. It sucks when your favorite rig starts dieing on you.

Oil pressure sensors are bad for leaking in the ls engines

I would keep it and do the work yourself. That’s what I’ve done.

If you like it that much sell it take that cash and go buy another one. I have 2 Lincoln town cars in my driveway right now. 1 with 125k Mike’s and 1 I just picked up with 70k miles

Any vehicle thats 14 years old is going to have alot of thing that need to be done

So when the screen is blacked out, how do I know if it’s just the screen or the whole thing? My radio still plays. The screen is just black

Take the transmission out and junk it

Sounds like the previous owner didn’t do maintenance either.

12 grand is a lot of money, but a new Escalade is $150,000, so compairitivley not bad. You'll be good for another 100,000 miles!

Will this work for a ct5 that's dead?

Sounds like regular maintenance to me ... Had you said you would've fixed this numerous times in a short period , I would've thought differently ....

Save it!

I have an 07 Escalade currently- I just recently at 170,xxx miles- and I just over hauled mine and put about $15,000 into it.. I will have the Leather, carpet, and body panels replaced in the spring.. I refuse to get rid of it..

When i was young i had an issue with my 2000 F-150, the upper intake manifold broke at the coolant crossover. $2,700.00 to have fixed. I didn't know anything about car repair but, i couldn't afford that. TH-cam helped me and i did it myself for $150.00. Since then I've done all my own car repairs. I've saved well over $10,000. If i can do it, anyone can. Save money. Btw, that 2000 F-150 is still my daily driver.

Let's say $15,000 into the truck to make it perfect. Then look at $50,000 to get one that is perfect. You still have $35,000 in the bank if you fix your truck... No brainer...

🤔 what in the world 🌎.

Thanks bro

I currently have this problem, I’ve tried fixing it, it’s not working, little more help

What would I do with that situation? As I said earlier, it would depend on how much you really care for the vehicle and if you plan on keeping it long-term or not, would be to determining factors for me actually. I chose to do it with my 07 CTS because I just truly love the car I like the body style in the way it rides and looks everything about it!

What I have learned is on a vehicle in that age range, and even newer, before purchasing, it should be taken to a mechanic and let them go over it and tell you any things like that you might be facing. You don’t just buy it because it looks shiny and pretty I have learned! L O L.

But if you go with one, that’s only a year or two newer, remember, you could have many of the same issues at that age be aware of that!

But for you, it all boils down to, how much you love the vehicle! And if you plan on keeping it long term after you spend that money on it. So I would say it’s worth it because it is a beautiful vehicle, while others would say it is not an individual choice for you to make I guess.

I have never had any problems with the engine or the transmission however, at least! Runs perfect leaks, nothing anywhere. But it has nickeled and dime me to death with other issues. But that’s OK. I love the car and plan on keeping it so it’s been like a project for me for the last two years or so.

I have probably spent close to 10 grand on my 07 CGS actually but that did include a new high quality factory type paint job on it of course also keeping it the same original color which is stealth gray Cadillac calls it, but it really looks kind of like a dark blue to me. Lol and the whole rack and pinion steering mechanism needed. Replaced clear across the front from wheel the wheel. Those were probably my two most expensive things I guess. L O L.

Cadillacs are not cheap to keep maintaining everything fixed on them! Believe me, I know. I have an 07CTS 3.6. I finally have everything fixed on it completely! Get your new show room condition now no lights on the dash or anything no leaks anywhere nothing! But it has been quite an expensive ordeal! Lol but I love this car it rides and looks so great with its new paint job and everything. It is in beautiful condition! Now I’m ready to sell it some lucky owner won’t have to go through all the expensive repairs that I’ve done on it! Lol

The previous owner probably knew all that and got rid of it. Just at the right time would be my guess. Lol.

The fact they make cars like this where the actual key in the door will not unlock just really pisses me off. Now I gotta try crawling under my car that's like 4 inches off the ground in the front to pull a cable makes me wanna punch the damn thing and the engineer that designed it to act like this.

The best way to stop an oil leak is to not put any oil in it.

i would have put new parking brake shoes since i have it off.....

Bud, What you want to do is spray the bottom of your engine area with any engine clearer then go to a carwash that has jets that spray the bottom of your car. then get it home once dry then look for your leaks.

Dude, what the heck! you should have kept up with the repairs. All of this stuff just didn't all happen all at once. Most of these repairs you can do yourself. Sooo Cowboy up and fix the dam thing. Cherry this baby up. It will take some time but once its done you be happy you did it yourself. you said it sat for a while. During that time you could have been working on it. start out with the cheap repairs, and work your way up. By the way all the parts on these car are cheap. Once your done you know what has been done on it. Good Luck!

I wanted to buy one of these. But I’ll need it go from la to sf 3 times a year. But Damn…..

You just made me go back to thinking about a Toyota 4 runner? They don’t compare but man.

What year would you recommend for a F-150 starter?

1) Find a reputable shop that wilp let you bring your own parts. 2) use coupn codes at advance for discounts do multiple orders to maximize savings 3) do what tou can kn your own 4) b4 u buy always do a couple inspections 5) DON'T BUY 15-20, a Cadillac dealership told me from their own mouth don't buy the 15-20s unless you have a great extended warranty because the trans will go.

These have fatally weak roofs in the event of a rollover.

I would get a new mechanic they sound high. How man6 miles 200K plus

Hey it’s a luxury vehicle... You have to pay to play.
