I HAVE THE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" , "STABILITRAK", "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON AND ENGINE IS CONSUMING QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND IS NOW KNOCKING. AFTER ELIMINATING OTHER AREAS, THE MECHANIC HAS CAME TO A CONCLUSION THAT THE KNOCKING IS FROM THE RESULT OF A FAULTY PUSH ROD. I BELIEVE THAT I AM THE 3RD OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 160,000+ MILES. I AM A [XXX] DRIVER WITH 4 JUVENILE CHILDREN AND USE THE CADILLAC PRIMARILY FOR FAMILY TRIPS AS I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. SOME OF THE REVIEWS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ENGINE SAY THAT THE ENGINE IS DESIGNED FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY. AND EVEN THOUGH THE MILES THAT ARE CURRENTLY GETTING HIGH, I DON'T THINK THAT THIS ENGINE HAS ACHIEVED IT. THE WARNING LIGHTS THAT I HAVE LISTED HAVE ONLY CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *AN

ABNORMALLY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION: EVEN AFTER COMPLETING THE VALVE COVER REPLACEMENT AS RECOMMENDED IN THE GM TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-06-01-008M, THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION CONTINUES TO OCCUR. FROM FULL OIL LEVEL COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHJP SERVICE CENTER TO THE POINT THAT THE COMPUTER SCREEN INDICATES "LOW OIL LEVEL", THE CAR HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 1,000 MILES (VERIFIED BY GM SERVICE CENTER). AS AN SIDE, THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ABOUT 5,000 MILES PER YEAR AND IS SERVICED AND CARED FOR RELIGIOUSLY. THIS ISSUE WAS INITIALLY NOTICED IN 2012 AS WAS THOUGHT TO BE A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE MAKE/MODEL. ONLY AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH INTO SIMILAR INSTANCES WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AS REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS, DID THIS BECOME A LARGER ISSUE. IT WAS THEN REPORTED TO GM RESULTING IN A CASE NUMBER BEING CREATED. THE NEXT MAINTENANCE STEP AS RECOMMENDED BY GM SERVICE CENTER IS TO REPLACE PISTONS AND RINGS.

P0011 ENGINE CODE ONCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE TRUCK RIDES HORRIBLE. GM HAS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. ITS A DESIGN FLAW LUBRICATING THE CAM SHAFT. I CHANGE THE OIL ONCE A MONTH. ITS NOT ENOUGH.. GM KNOWS THIS PROBLEM EXIST AND COVERS IT UP.. I HOPE MORE ESCALADE OWNERS COME FORWARD AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. FORCING OWNERS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CLEAR THE CODE ISN'T FAIR.....
