What does the coolant light on my Cadillac dashboard mean?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor?

Don’t ignore puddles on your driveway or garage floor. If you see a green, bright orange, or pink fluid puddling under your car (it might be sticky, too), it could be antifreeze that’s leaking out of the engine. Antifreeze has a sweet, attractive smell to cats and dogs (and it’s highly toxic to them), so look out for your pets! Repair any leaks as soon as possible, then carefully wash away any remaining fluid that’s left behind on the driveway or garage floor.

Do Cadillac Escalade ESV radiators need to be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Cadillac Escalade ESV radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

My Escalade ESV overheated! What can cause that?

One of the main reasons your Cadillac Escalade ESV engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.

Why does the radiator in my Escalade ESV sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?

There could be air pockets in your Escalade ESV’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).

Is rust in my Escalade ESV radiator bad?

Yes. Having rust in your Cadillac Escalade ESV radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.
