Driving 55 mph in heavy traffic on [XXX] going into uptown Charlotte the Cadillac suddenly when i switched lanes the vehicle misfired seemingly and a banging sound persisted. It slowed down slightly but as I accelerated the sound got louder and when i came to a stop on a busy street the Cadillac shut off in the middle of traffic. The only message to come up was battery low needs service and didn’t start after several tries and the vehicle wouldn’t come out of park gear either. The vehicle displayed no warning lights or error messages prior to or during the incident. - got the vehicle towed for inspection and diagnostic testing. Tech finding: the engine had sustained significant damage, including a compromised crankshaft and two damaged piston rods in cylinders 1 & 5., camshaft showed signs of wear. the shop completed a engine overhaul remove & reinstall, securing parts in place of not being able to get the major part needed, the Long block which was on national backorder at GM with no estimated frame. GM needs to address the oil consumption problems in the 6.2 engines. The critical issues which has lead up to or may lead to the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV 6.2 engine failures Synthetic 0W–20 oil being recommended does not support the critical parts of this engine through out in regards to higher mileage or age of vehicle. upon repair the technicians recommended using Oil - Synthetic 5W-30 Synthetic 5W-30 Dxs SAE Full Synthetic 5W-30 uniquely formulated with intelligent molecules that cling to the engine like a magnet adding a layer of protection that dramatically reduces engine wear Superior engine protection on critical engine parts.

I pulled over it took four or five tries to turn the engine back on it. Cranked multiple times before it turned over. Got it back on drove another half mile and then the engine seized. We had it towed an hour south of where we were. The dealer had no loaners and there were no rental cars anywhere in the vicinity. We had to rent a cargo van and drive me, my wife and my three kids and cousin in a cargo van (zero rear seats) back to our house which was another hour and a half south of there. We were driving north for a weekend vacation with was cancelled. The whole experience with exception of the very nice tow driver was an absolute nightmare. Now we are without our car not sure what to do. The Escalade needs a new engin, $155k car and no one seems to care. This Escalade has been in the shop at the dealer many times before for extended periods of time for computer issues, brake issues, dashboard issues. You name it this car has it.

On Sunday [XXX] , while driving my Cadillac Escalade 2022 with a 6.2L V8 engine on [XXX] at 70 mph, my vehicle suddenly lost power without warning. This put me in immediate danger, as I was in the left lane and had to quickly maneuver to the right emergency lane to avoid a complete stop in moving traffic. During this emergency maneuver, vehicles behind me nearly crashed into me, creating a high risk of a serious, potentially fatal accident. There were no warning lights or prior indications before the sudden loss of power, making this issue extremely hazardous. Given recent reports about engine failures in GM’s L87 V8 models, I strongly believe my vehicle is affected by the same manufacturing defect. I am requesting an urgent investigation by NHTSA, as this issue poses a severe risk to all drivers. Additionally, I would like to know if there are any recalls or technical service bulletins (TSBs) from GM regarding this problem. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise me on any next steps I should take. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
