Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in brake lines, hoses, or calipers, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air may have entered the hydraulic lines, causing a spongy or soft brake pedal feel.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components can cause temporary loss of braking power, especially during heavy use or downhill driving.

Abs system malfunction

Faulty sensors or wiring issues can cause the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to malfunction, leading to warning lights or reduced braking performance.

Warped brake rotors

Continuous heavy braking can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations when braking.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads naturally wear down over time and need regular inspection and replacement to maintain optimal braking performance.

Direct injection issues

Carbon buildup on intake valves can occur with Spark Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI) engines, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.

Variable valve timing (vvt) problems

Issues with the VVT system can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, or engine performance problems.

Active fuel management (afm) failure

AFM system issues can lead to poor fuel economy, misfiring, or engine noise.

Fuel injector clogging

With E85 fuel usage, fuel injectors can become clogged, leading to poor engine performance or starting issues.

Aluminum engine block wear

Although lighter, aluminum engine blocks can be more susceptible to wear and damage compared to cast iron blocks.

Oil consumption

Some GM engines, including the L86, are known to consume more oil than expected, requiring more frequent oil checks and top-ups.

Transmission issues

The Escalade ESV is known to have transmission problems, including rough shifting, slipping, or delayed engagement.

Suspension and ride quality

Given the vehicle's size and weight, components like shocks and struts may wear out faster, affecting ride comfort and handling.
