Q: When is the Cadillac Escalade EXT going to change it's looks?
Im planning to buy an Cadillac Escalade EXT I would like to know when are they going to change the look of it . I check the Cadillac site but it doesn't give me any info.
A: General Motors' Cadillac Escalade has Consumer Reports' Much-Worse-Than-Average or Worse-Than-Average Reliability Verdict for model years 2007 and 2008 and has CR's predicted reliability of Much-Worse-Than-Average for model year 2009.
The Cadillac Escalade is also on AutoOnInfo.net's list of the Worst of 2009, with a Composite Reliability Value of -.38 on a scale of -1.00 to +1.00.
Consequently, the better questions are: Will General Motors' improve its quality, and if so, when?
Q: What are the pros and cons of a Cadillac Escalade?
To the people that own or have owned the Cadillac Escalade, what are the ups and downs?
I am considering buying one and I would LOVE to hear from you!
A: Pros:
Comfortable vehicle with plenty of seats.
Nice riding, driving, with good turning radius.
4-wheel drive at the push of a button (nice in the snow)
Fairly safe vehicle
Reliabilty (Mine has 145.000 miles) No major breakdowns
Plenty of power if you need to haul or tow something.
Cons:
Terrible gas mileage 10-12 MPG city 12-14 highway
Above average cost to service because it is a Cadillac
Dirty looks from hybrid car owners!
I would buy one again (except for the gas mileage, we use our as a third car on long trips or when we need all of the seats) but look for a used one. 1 to 3 years old with low miles you will save that hit you take when you drive it off the lot. Make sure you get a Carfax report if you buy used.

A: Brandi Carlile - The Story
Q: How many seats are in a Cadillac Escalade?
I saw a picture of one of those things and dang, those are HUGE!! And no I'm not thinking of getting one, like I could afford one anyway, because I'm sure it isn't exactly good on fuel. Anyway, back to my question, how many (including the driver) fit into a Cadillac Escalade?
A: There are 7 with bucket seating in the 2nd row and 8 with a sofa 2nd row. There is a lot of leg space.
Q: how to install 3rd row seat on 1999 cadillac escalade?
I plan to install a 3rd row seat (Tahoe/Yukon) on my 1999 cadillac escalade. But, there are not pre-set position for it. I have to remove floor carpet and install something with base of the truck. Before I do this, I want to ask if anybody has experience on it. Thanks a lot!
A: I've done swaps in older vehicles and would make a pattern or template from the removed vehicle to transfer to the other vehicle. An over size piece of cardboard or rosin paper is good for this. Before drilling holes, look up on the undercarriage of the floor to see what you might be hitting. Reinforcement plates can be made from old bumper arms or flat iron stock. If you do the transfer, be sure to install the seat belts from the original vehicle.
Q: My rear passenger power window on my 2005 Cadillac Escalade is not working?
2005 Cadillac Escalade. All other windows and sunroof go up and down fine just the rear passenger side window. I dont hear any noise coming out from it at all. I checked all fuses and they looked fine. I tried the controls on the drivers side and by the rear passenger window. No noise at all.
Any ideas?
Not under warranty 77k miles. How can i test to see if its the switch or motor?
A: You might need a new window motor if its not that old and you have the manufactures warrenty on it take it to a dealership to get checked out
Q: Why is the service stability system message on and what does it mean 2002 Cadillac Escalade?
Why is the service stability system message on and what does it mean 2002 Cadillac Escalade?
A: The stability system helps to keep the car from skidding and losing control.
The message means that the computer in your car has detected something that doesn't seem right. This is usually a sensor that came unplugged or broke.
The dealer can fix this. They will first charge $100 to run a computer diagnostic. It takes about 1 minute and the price is a rip off! Your auto parts store may run a diagnostic for free if you buy the replacement parts from them.
Q: What engines are compatible to go into a 2000 Cadillac Escalade?
From what I understand an LQ9 is a special high-output version of the Vortec 6000 V8 truck engine originally designed for Cadillac. So what other engines (and codes) are compatible with my Escalade?
A: This is a very difficult question to answer with it being so open ended. There are probably VERY few engines that could just be dropped in. I assume that your Escalade has a 5.7 liter 350 which is a small block chevrolet engine. Therefore, there are MANY different engines that would work in your Escalade with some modification. Some modifications as simple as changing the dipstick tube all the way up to changing everything except the actual block.
I have 3 suggestions.
1) Call some major junkyards in your area. Ask if they have an engine to fit your vehicle. If they say "yes", ask them what it is coming out of. If they say "no," ask them what will fit. Call several junkyards. The more you call the more info you will get.
2) Your Escalade is really just a Tahoe with different badges. So it is very similar to a Chevy Silverado under the hood. go visit some Chevrolet custom shops. You can find them in the phone book. Car people LOVE to talk cars. You can get a wealth of information in 10 minutes.
3) Go try to make a friend in the parts department at your local Cadillac dealership. He/she is another wealth of info.
Good Luck!
Q: Was there ever a V12 Cadillac Escalade in 2003, or any other time?
I know about the V12 Northstar Engine that was shot down in 2000, but I heard that Cadillac briefly made an Escalade with a V12 engine. Is this true?
A: Don't listen to them, the Cadillac's built and tested many V-12's lately, just not put them into production... yet.
They've been testing and building V12 Cadillacs for years, and it's going into production.
Product boss Robert Lutz has confirmed plans to build a V12 sedan. The engine will have 7.2 liters of displacement with 600 horsepower and 540 pound-feet of torque.
http://www.leftlanenews.com/cadillac-to-build-v12-sedan-based-on-sixteen-concept.html
It's upto gas prices if these prototypes make it.
There's a lot of people who have driven new V12 based Cadillacs, but you have to be in the automotive industry.
In 2004 Cadillac did build V12 prototype Escalades!
Cadillac has been testing a V12 based on its 4.6-liter Northstar V8 that fits the Escalade engine bay without major modification.
GM has a V12 that changes power to run on one bank as a straight 6 for fuel economy and then kicks back to a V12 when you step on the gas.
Q: What is the average price of a black cadillac escalade EXT?
I want this car and I want to know price averages of this car in the color black and an Cadillac Escalade EXT
A: edmunds.com is a good website to determine the price. It even lets you select various options (such as sunroof, color, grill, etc..) that will affect the price.
adviceontime.com also has good articles about getting a good deal when buying a car.
I hope this help and happy car shopping!
Q: While I drive my 2006 Cadillac Escalade the traction control display will randomly come on?
While I drive my 2006 Cadillac Escalade the traction control display will randomly come on and prevent the car from moving forward. This typically happens when the car is stopped and I try to accelerate. Any idea on what the problem could be. It has 72k miles. I just bought it 5k miles ago.
A: That's not the problem. The traction control compares the ground speed to the demands of the driver and cuts back on the throttle , it will also put the brakes on to stop tire spin to limit breaking traction. I also commend you on the nice way of saying that you hit the gas to spin the tires.
