I have a 2007 Escalade (with 6.2L V8 and 6 Speed Auto). The transmission completely failed at 18,000 miles and was replaced under warranty. Several months ago.
Now, nearly 5 months later, the replacement transmission had problems with very rough shifting. Problem was diagnosed as a "stuck valve assembly". a part was cleaned/part replaced.
My Escalade is driving nearly 25,000 miles a year, mostly a mix of highway and city driving. (no towing at all).
I think GM may have a major issue with these transmissions.
I really want to Lemon my car, but I don't think I will be able to.
Has anyone else had transmission problems with their 2007 Escalades??
Thanks everyone, and I am happy to be a new member of this board!!!  |

If you are not happy call the 800 number in the book, you will need to tell them how many days you were without the truck, and if you have the dealership on your side it will go better. I have many friends and customers with 07' Escalade's, no one I know has had any trans issues, of course no one had an engine issue when mine blew up either.  |

Cadillac in Long Island quoted me $4200 for a 3yr/50k warranty on replacement trans and I rejected it. I have to come $3090 out of pocket for a Jasper Transmission (3yr/100k warranty) because Cadillac and Gm can't get their stuff straight when designing these tranmisssions. Any transmission that blows up before 150,000 miles without heavy towing and just normal use and proper fluids is a design flaw in my opinion...no wonder they raised the warranty from 5 year 50,000 to 5 year/100k in 2006! |

How many times did you change the trans fluid in the 67k miles? |

| | Cadillac Owners Member Cadillac(s): 2008 Escalade | | | | | Re: 2007 Escalade Transmission Failures/Problems My 2008 Escalade transmission stopped providing power to the wheels, it would rev to high rpms and the vehicle would not accelerate. I never got a diagnosis, they just said they "flushed the transmission" and it began to work.
After about 8,000 more miles it is doing it again. It is still under warranty, so we will see what happens. |

| | Cadillac Owners Fanatic Cadillac(s): 2007 Cadillac Escalade, 2010 Chevrolet Camaro | | Join Date: May 2009 Age: 19 | | | Re: 2007 Escalade Transmission Failures/Problems Look at how many Eskys are on the road. I'm expecting SOME trannys to fail, it's normal. IF you think this is bad, check out Mercedes-Benz/BMW forums.
Oh, 80K on my '07, and NO problems. Have 24's on my truck, and drive it very hard. Example: Shift it into park while reversing (5MPH). These truck's engines/transmissions are built well. |
