#51 of 223 New escalade EXT by bobier May 21, 2005 (3:58 pm)
I've had my EXT for two weeks now. What a bargain this truck is. Far more ammenities than any other car or truck in this price range. I have a question about the DVD for the nav system though. Who makes the system and where can I buy DVDs for other countries?

Replying to: pescado2 (Jan 14, 2003 2:15 pm) I have a 2004 EXT, never off road never used a trailer with it. $11,000 miles and has been in shop three times for front end thumping noise while turning. Seems to get worse the hotter the weather. Had the dealer last time re torque, lube etc, and out of the partking lot it thumped on the first turn. They said something about a problem with the body mounts to frame, and GM has set up a case # for me, but Dealer said this is all they can do. I don't know if it will get worse if I drive off road (Afterall it is a 4WD) or even worse pull a trailer. If the body is loose on the frame will stabiltiy be a problem? I will call the 800# and see what the case # can do for me. I am not thrilled with my first Caddy. Anyone else still having this problem?

I have a 92 Vette that has the 4L60 (which is the same basic transmission used in the Escalade) transmission that had the same klunk between 1st and second gear. Due to a problem with the original tranny, the GM had the dealership install a new tranny back in 1996. Although the new tranny shifted as smooth as my Eldorado, their is still an ocasional klunk in the 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 shift. This is an inherent problem with the 4L60, 4L60E and 4L65 transmissions. The new 2007 Escalade has a new transmission with 6 speeds called the 6L80E and hopefully the klunk will be eliminated.
#55 of 223 2002 Escalade transmission troubles by browncb Dec 28, 2005 (1:15 pm)
What could be wrong with my trasmission. I have a 2002 6.0 L, AWD Cadillac Escalade. I put my truck into reverse and pressed the gas. I heard the wheels squeal and then a loud Clank, as if something broke. Now my truck will not go into reverse. I mean that it will not move backwards in reverse. It still drives (D) forward but nothing in reverse. What could possibly have broken. Will I need a total new trasmission or some repairs to this one. I know a new transmission will be upwards of $1300-1400 dollars..right?? Any suggestions??
#56 of 223 2003 Escalade will not start. Fuse Problem? by chadman Feb 04, 2006 (10:28 am)
I drove my 2003 Escalade home one night. The next day I tryed to start it and it would not engage the starter. I charged the battery but that was not the problem. Everything seems to work when I put the key in but when I turn to start it does nothing. It seems that it is not sending juice to the starter. Any sugguestions? Is there a fuse I should look at? Help.

Replying to: stuart310 (Feb 27, 2005 3:23 pm) Hi! Just started reading the messages on this forum regarding Escalades because of the many problems I've been having with mine. I've got an '05 Escalade with the same clunking noise from 1st to 2nd & then back from 2nd to 1st gears. I took it to the dealership & got the same catch-all response, "it's normal noise that is characteristic in escalades." My driver side mirror is extremely blurry when the night time glare reducing feature is working. They said they replaced the mirror twice but I still have the same problem. Their temporary fix was to place a piece of black electrica tape over the sensor so that the feature would not be activated by the headlights behind me. Now that's Cadillac quality!!   I've got 8500 miles on my Escalade and have taken it in for service 9 times! It always takes 3 trips for them to address a problem. And with the exception of a power steering noise, they would keep my vehicle on the average of 7 days or more only to tell me that the problem is normal and that they don't have a fix for it.   Now I've got a high pitch whining/whistling noise that is noticable at around 700 rpm. The service manager and techs were able to reproduce the sound and they all said, "hmmmm. that's odd!" Then after keeping my car for a total of 18 days or so, they tell me that the noise is "normal and characteristic of Escalades". When I asked him to pull out the Escalade they had in their show room to show me that it's normal, they played a song and dance and wouldn't do it.   I've had 4 Chevys in my life and loved them. I cannot beleive that this luxury manufacturer is so incredibly horrible to their customers. I'm currently trying to have the dealership do a straight swap of my Escalade with a new one or just hire a lemon law attorney. Don't know yet.   I think we should just launch a class action lawsuit against Cadillac.   Good luck with yours.   janet Replies to this message: tdoh (Feb 10, 2006 12:03 pm) gap2006 (Apr 20, 2006 5:54 pm)

Replying to: jjyoo (Feb 09, 2006 9:21 am) Man you gotta love their logic--it took them over two weeks to finally tell you that "it's normal"? If something is "normal and characteristic", then that kinda implies that they've experienced that situation before...in which case, why would it take them that long to realize that the issue at hand is "normal"?   Typical GM service department BS explanation...not so much that they tell you that something is "normal", but that it takes them so long to make that determination.

#60 of 223 Transmission not shifting into gear? by permbigjerm Mar 19, 2006 (8:00 am)
I was driving my 2003 ext and let off the gas because a car pulled in front of me. When I pushed back on the gas, the truck kicked into the passing gear. I stopped at a store and then realized the truck was not shifting into third. I watched the transmission temp. and it never got near hot. Then when I was close to my house, it felt like I was in neutral and the vehicle started slowing down. I pulled over and now all gears are like I am in neutral. No reverse, low, drive...anything. There have been no prior problems. I check the fluid and it is full. Does not spell burned. Anyone have any ideas??
