    Fans run like the engine is overheating, coolant gauge reads no temperature, A/C disengaged.

    My 2015 Escalade was running fine, but I noticed a loud hum under the hood. The fans were running much faster than usual, so I looked at my coolant guage and it was reading zero, despite me having driven for miles. I pulled over and under the hood the temp felt fine, hose barely warm to the...

    Say it isn't so Joe, say it isn't so

    Aside from the various problems I am having with the dealer screwing me on the drivetrain warranty (see my other thread if interested) :flame:, I had my main screen replaced due to it freezing up as it became useless. When I got it back, they had replaced the entire unit. However when I went to...

    My dealership odyssey and claimed carbon buildup

    I need some sound advice on a current dilemma I have with my dealership, and them wanting $$$ to fix something that should have been covered under my factory powertrain warrantee before it expired. I had my 2015 in for service to determine why I was having a hard to slamming shift in late May...

    Do our $$$$$ Escalade's not have an integrated brake controller?

    I had assumed that just like the other GM SUV's that the Escalade had a trailer brake controller, but that they shunned the buttons/levers for a more refine look with electronics. Yet the other day I was looking through the manual to see how to bring it up on the touch screen, only to find...

    Key Fob programming preferences for different drivers?

    I only have one key fob for my 2015 Escalade. I plan on getting a 2nd one, and want to make sure it can be programmed the same day to set the customization of the 2nd driver preferences (i.e. seat, mirrors, etc.). I've looked at a 2015 owners manual, but it does not specify being able to...

    No locking gas door or cap?

    My 07 Suburban had the screw on cap, thus I put a locking one on to prevent fuel theft and more importantly vandalism. However the 2015 Escalade I picked up is cap-less and even worse, when the doors are locked and the alarm armed, the door does not lock. On our 2004 BMW 330cic when the door was...

    Front license plate holder

    For those of you in states where they have the unnecessary money grab mandating a front licence plate, we in Florida do not have such a big brother requirement. Needless to say other than what I mentioned, they look hideous on certain vehicles, such as Corvettes, thus some drivers in CA and the...

    Detailing interior with proper products

    I have a 2015 Escalade ESV and am pleased with the improvement of the interior compared with the last generation. As some know who had a 07-14, the dashboards were made of cheap plastic that was cracking despite not being old and properly cared for. That combined with peeling chrome off of...

    Where to sell and how much to sell them for?

    I am not sure where to post this, so I figure general is as good a place as any. My 2007 Sub has the 3rd row seats, and I took them out a long time ago because I primarily use the cargo area. They have been stored inside the house, much to the annoyance of you know who. Anyway, I traded it in...

    Loose/sagging leather on center console armrest & adding wireless charging to it.

    When I started looking for a 2015 Escalade or Denali, I'd see a decent number of center arm rests that looked like the leather was rumpled, sagging or loose. That is the case with the one I bought. Though this is a picture of a different type of armrest, it is the same principle; I am...

    The definitive thread about the differences between early build 2015 Escalade's and the 15.5's

    As some of you know from reading about my situation, I was unaware of the 2015 mid-year upgrade of the Escalade, and significant differences between what I presume is referred to as the 15 vs. 15.5 Escalade's. So in an effort to help prevent someone else from making the same mistake that I did...

    Best aftermarket alarm for the most stolen vehicle on the road.

    Needless to say the Escalade has had the dubious distinction of being the most stolen vehicle since 2003 for at least a decade. I live in a city with a high incidence of auto/rim theft, and would like to add an aftermarket alarm that interfaces with the factory alarm to help deter all but the...

    Folding mirrors automatically when parked?

    For those of you familiar with the 2015 Escalade (not the 2015.5), I discovered how to get the mirrors to fold in with the remote by holding the lock button in for a few extra seconds. However, I cannot figure out how to set the system to fold the mirrors automatically upon putting it into park...

    Bit the bullet and bought a 2015 Escalade ESV - Now I have a bunch of quesions?

    I was leaning toward a Denali XL, but had a deal too good to pass up on a 2015 ESV. I was under the impression that a Luxury edition had most of the options, but my knowledge of when certain options became available is lacking. 1) One thing I am not sure about is whether it has an 8 speed...

    Used 2015/2016 Escalade ESV vs. Yukon XL Denali - which to buy & why?

    I am in the market for an extended SUV, either a 2015 Escalade or a Yukon Denali. I could consider the Suburban LTZ, but I'd like to have the bigger engine and 8 speed transmission of the other two (which the fully loaded Suburban does not have). Additionally, I have ridden in the Escalade...

    2007 TPMS question?

    I replaced my tires and sensors today, and reprogrammed them through the systems tire by tire walk around method. I am getting tire pressure readings for all 4 tires and the yellow dummy warning light is off. That is the good news. The bad news is that I am still getting warnings in my...

    3rd row bench seat stuck in upright position,,,need help lowering to get it out

    Hi guys, I looked but could not find a solution in my search. I have an 07 Sub with a 3rd row split bench seat. The one side folded and pulled out with no problem. However the other side feels as if there is no cable tension to release the back to fold down. As many already know, if you...

    Best rotor/pad deal for a 2007+

    I have some decent meat on my current rotors, but they need to be cut at minimum since they have some heat spots on them. So I'm considering of getting new rotors and pads, but want to find good ones at a good price. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Will Ford Keys for last Gen work on this Gen?

    Long story short, I bought two Fork Keys for my 2001 Chevy Sub to lift it a little. Trouble was that is was an Autoride, and I was told it might screw up the ride. So I put them away in a drawer, and here I am years later with them sitting in a storage drawer. It just dawned on me that since...

    Third Row bench seat problem

    I am trying to get this 2007 Sub back to 100%, and just have a few more things to get fixed. My 3rd row seat backrest on the drivers side flips down, and the seat flips up, but will not unlock to be able to pull it out. The passenger side backrest will not not release to fold forward, and feels...

    Jiffy Lube experience

    I should have learned my lesson the last time I went there a few years ago when they overfilled my engine with about 3 quarts too many and I blew an engine seal. The lure of a $15 oil change out the door brought me back. Anyway, I asked the manager not to let a rookie work on it and he assured...

    Tire Sensors - TPMS

    I am hoping you all have some experience in finding less expensive sensors as mine might be shot. When I go to program/re-learn the system, the first tire (Drivers side front) will register, but the front passenger side does not, so the learning program times out. I don't know if I only have one...

    Have a strange sound I need help diagnosing

    When I accelerate from a stop with my 2007 Sub everything sounds and feels normal. However if I get on it from a dead stop, I hear what sounds like a small thud. It only happens for a second, and not again until I stop and get on it again. I was thinking maybe a failing U joint. I don't...

    Anyone have pictures of their blacked out rides?

    I said I would not buy another black Sub because my 2001 was always a pain to maintain. However I got a good deal and bought another black sub, this time a 2007. The previous owner had already blacked out the bowtie's, and it looks pretty good. The tints are not limo, but just the next shade up...
