#61 of 223 Re: transmission clunk [tdoh] by gap2006 Apr 20, 2006 (5:54 pm)
Replying to: tdoh (Feb 10, 2006 12:03 pm) Apparently transmission clunks in low gear are pretty common in Escalades. I was just on another site where they mentioned a service bulletin that all Caddy Service Centers should have discussing it. Some of the posts said they could adjust the software if they know what they are doing. Another post said the transmission sometimes does not downshift all the way into 1st at a red light and the clunk is it downshifting when you step on the gas. He said he brakes completely then lets the car roll forward a little and it solved his problem.   I have been getting some of the same in a new '07 plus the transmission feels like it vibrates a little so I may be taking it back in for a dealer check myself.
#62 of 223 07 Escalade Bulletins? by auto007 May 24, 2006 (7:18 pm)
I brought my new Escalade into the shop for the following:   1) Driver's side mirror vibrates. They said they tightened it. However, I can still see it vibrate (mirror). I've read somewhere that a fix exists and I assume my dealer has no clue. Is this a service bulletin? If so, can someone lead me to it so I can lead my dealer?   2) I was constantly getting flashed by other cars thinking my brights were on. My dealer adjusted the lights and now the light focual point is way off. The right side beam is much longer then the left side and it is very distracting. Looks like 1/2 an arc of beam. What are the guidelines and process for them to adjust correctly?   3) Anyone get vibration in wheel at high speeds, what causes this? Supposely they just did an alignment.   P.S. Anyone know where I can get a bug net to fit the front? What about cost effective headseat video monitors for 2nd row?   Thanks Replies to this message: gap2006 (May 25, 2006 5:27 pm) matlinca (Jun 21, 2006 5:49 pm) matlinca (Jun 21, 2006 5:57 pm) awf_axis (Jun 22, 2006 5:32 am) lykourinou (Dec 25, 2007 1:27 pm) lykourinou (Dec 25, 2007 1:24 pm)

Replying to: auto007 (May 24, 2006 7:18 pm) I read a few posts on the mirror issue. I read that the fix is a piece of foam installed somewhere and it's a known issue. You could try a search on the forum or maybe try reaching the regional manager for Cadillac if all else fails.   I have not noticed vibration with my 22's. What size wheel do you have. And what speed are we talking about? 60 or 100? I'll try it and see what happens.   You might try ebay for the bug net and videos. I picked up a new Escalade cargo mat on there plus a nice set of Escalade mud flaps.   Good luck. It's a great SUV. I'm sure you will be able to work the bugs out.

Replying to: auto007 (May 24, 2006 7:18 pm) hello, i work on cadillac's,, i have worked on 15 o7 escalades includeing my own with this problem. my own escalede has this problem but is 5 times worse because i have 28" rims on mine. the problem is simple = the rims. The 22 inch rims make the ride of the escalede bumpy the bumps are absorebed by the frame and the shocks so you cannot feel them. when the frame vibrates it moves back and forth causeing the mirrors to vibrate evan to the extent so you cannot see out of your mirrors. this is commen on cars or trucks or suv's with rims over 20" but not this baddd i actually had one guy come in because his drivers side mirror fell off, exposeing the wires. cadillac respods with " we have reviewd the vehicle several times and found no such problem , all mirror's work and function properly and are secured properly" truely i think that is a buch of bs. i ahve complained many times but they refuse to respond to my problem. if i come up with a way to stop this or get a good response i will let you all kno. thanks   matt Replies to this message: matlinca (Jun 21, 2006 5:57 pm) awf_axis (Jun 22, 2006 5:32 am) lykourinou (Dec 25, 2007 1:27 pm)

Replying to: matlinca (Jun 21, 2006 5:57 pm) The thing about the vibrating mirrors is that it is loose to the touch, and the passenger mirror is rock solid. This problem shows at 50+ mph speed, even on smooth roads.   As for the lights, I adjusted them downward so that it matches the beam height of my wife's BMW, and no one complains anymore.   Dave
#67 of 223 2007 escalade by escy07 Jun 24, 2006 (6:58 am)
hey Folks. I bought my escy 3 months ago direct fromm texas. I was the first in my dealership to notice the whistling noise in the mirrors(the fix is a piece of foam that they ordered and installed- its perfect now)   Has anyone been expieriencing A low idle and most importantly a deceleration a "hesitation" ? its very noticable when you take your foot off the gas at low speeds around a corner and go to put your foot back on the pedal and theres a buck and a low idle.   Any suggestions..??? i brought it intoservice 3 times and there was a small adjustment caddy made on a "idle" issue but after programing it only helped about 50%...... any ideas???

#68 of 223 Vibration/shaking at high speeds? by wcb22 Jun 28, 2006 (7:12 pm)
I just got my 2007 Escalade about two weeks ago. The only problem I'm having is with vibration/shaking at high speeds (i.e. 60 mph or higher). The car vibrates or shakes, almost like you're going over the rumble strips on the berm of the road, while traveling at 60 mph or more. This happens even on smooth roads. I haven't taken it in yet but was curious if there's an easy fix to things here. I have 22" factory installed wheels on the car.

Replying to: wcb22 (Jun 28, 2006 7:12 pm) That doesn't sound right. I have 3500 miles on my '07 with 22s and even at 90 it's a pretty smooth ride. I know a few people have had vibration problems with their driver side mirrors but I have not noticed that either. Sounds like you better have a dealer take a look and maybe consider 20s or 18s.

Replying to: wcb22 (Jun 28, 2006 7:12 pm) I would think that it is either a tire balance issue, or worst case, that one of the tires has a flaw. You might want to suggest that the technician at the dealer do a test drive.   Dave
