Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C Repair

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Cadillac vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2016 Cadillac. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Cadillac Escalade ESV

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Escalade ESV A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Cadillac guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C recharges.

Common Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Escalade ESV — without all the sweat puddles!

2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Escalade ESV air conditioning colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my Escalade ESV A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Escalade ESV’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my Escalade ESV A/C powered by gas? Your Escalade ESV’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does the A/C in my Escalade ESV smell like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Escalade ESV to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my Escalade ESV’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Escalade ESV may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
