The vehicle began making loud clicking noises and lost power at a busy intersection, with no prior warning lights or messages; the clicking was the only symptom before the sudden loss of power. She maneuvered it partially off the road; it would not restart. She removed the children onto the roadside while managing a disabled vehicle in active traffic, creating real risk of a secondary collision.  I arrived at 11:00am and tried to restart it, including adding fuel, with no success, only intermittent clicking and no start. A jump start was attempted before AAA arrived. AAA arrived at 1:16pm, inspected the vehicle, and confirmed the battery and fuse boxes were fine and not the cause. OnStar was also contacted. The vehicle was towed at 2:37pm to Camargo Cadillac, our dealer.  I contacted the dealership the next morning. On September 9, their service department confirmed the engine had failed internally and requires full replacement, a diagnosis made by the authorized dealer, not merely suspected by me. The failed engine remains at the dealership, unremoved, and is available for inspection upon request. I've opened Case #SR:110162786 with Cadillac Customer Assistance; I am not aware of a direct GM factory-level inspection yet.  At approximately 9,000 miles and roughly nine months of ownership, this vehicle suffered a total, sudden engine failure with no advance warning, stranding my family in traffic. This engine (L87, 6.2L V8) is subject to a prior recall (25V-274) on 2021-2024 Escalades for related crankshaft and connecting rod defects, and NHTSA has since opened investigation EA26005, extending to 2025 and 2026 model year vehicles due to continued reported failures. I'm submitting this to add my vehicle's experience to that federal safety record.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2026","productMake":"CADILLAC","productModel":"ESCALADE ESV","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
