#5 of 223 Transmission clunk by dmarin2 Nov 12, 2002 (2:21 pm)
Bought a 2003 Escalade EXT in September and the transmission makes a clunk just before the vehicle stops. This sound is the transmission dropping back into first gear after it has run up through the gears. I mentioned it to the service department and the lubed the transmission spline, but did not seem to help. Next time I go in for service I am going to test drive a new one to make a comparison. Does anyone else notice this or is it just me or my EXT?   David Replies to this message: 59cadillac (Sep 29, 2004 10:13 pm) hercaddi (Aug 23, 2007 5:49 pm)

My 2002 Escalade's transmission will occasionally make a low pitched grinding sound. I haven't been able to figure out when it will happen and I can't make it happen. My brother-in law's Denali does the same thing. Post an answer if you find one.

Are you sure it's the transmission? My '02 Denali makes a sort of low-pitched buzzing/humming sound that occurs intermittently at low rpms, only after the truck has warmed up. I think it's either a heat shield or a baffle in one of the mufflers. I had our service manager test drive it with me and he agreed.   I can get it to do it pretty consistently if I drive the truck long enough to warm up, then put it in drive, hold the brake and accelerate to about 1500rpm or so. More of a nuisance than anything,and something for which I originally made plans to have fixed, but I've decided just to wait 'til my next scheduled service.

#10 of 223 Transmission clunk message #5 by jeff107 Jan 12, 2003 (8:46 am)
I have a 2003 denali and I get the same clunk. It is the same engine and transmission. It is because the gear goes into 1st too eatly and you feel the hard downshift. They need to adjust the shift point for this car. I have called but they won't listen!!   good luck
#11 of 223 2002 front suspension noise by pescado2 Jan 14, 2003 (2:15 pm)
I have an early 2002 Escalade 2wd with a noisy front end. Purchased new in August 2001, my vehicle is used as my wifes station wagon. It has never seen hard or off-road use, yet I get a clunk from the front end at low speed maneuvering. I have taken it to the dealership three times for this. Sounds like its in the left front suspension. Column has been tightened, suspension has been lubed and retorqued, steering column support e7638 has also been replaced...any one else with this problem?

#12 of 223 My 2003 Escalade caught on FIRE, on the inside!! by rozupchurch Apr 17, 2003 (11:16 am)
Please, if anyone has had or heard of this problem contact me immediately, RozUpchurchaol.com   The heated seat inside my BRAND NEW 2003 Escalade caught on fire as I was driving. The fire department said that it had to have been smoldering for many days! I also noticed that the drivers heated seat is unusually hot. I am afraid to put my toddlers back in the car, repaired or not.
#13 of 223 PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM by espinoza30 May 03, 2003 (7:39 am)
Hello, I have a 2002 escalade with about 16000, and the parking brake is out. I was told it needed rear shoes. I am a master technician with infiniti, have been a technician for 14 years. I had never heard of a parking brake go out so soon,(unless it was left on while driving). I declined to have the work done and I am seeing if anyone has had the same problem. I would like to see if there is a problem with these shoes, and fight warranty.

Reply to message #5: Mine does the same and Cadillac admits to the problem but states that there is no fix at this time. I am presently persuing the state lemon law.
