2011 Cadillac Escalade Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Cadillac's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Cadillac? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Escalade’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Escalade is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Escalade's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Cadillac Escalade’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Cadillac. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Cadillac Escalade transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Cadillac Escalade, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who can fix my  Cadillac Escalade transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Escalade transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Escalade with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Escalade if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
