Some Cadillac Escalade owners report experiencing issues with the vehicle not pulling despite the engine running fine, often accompanied by a burning smell. This could indicate potential transmission problems, such as fluid leaks or overheating, which necessitate checking for leaks and monitoring fluid levels to prevent the transmission from running dry. Additionally, engine timing issues may lead to stalling and poor acceleration, affecting the vehicle's pulling capability. Some owners have also reported problems with the timing chain or belt, which, if jumped or broken, could abruptly halt the engine's operation. Furthermore, other mechanical issues, such as a seized engine or malfunctioning components, may also hinder the vehicle's performance. It is recommended that owners experiencing these symptoms consult a qualified mechanic for a thorough inspection and resolution of the underlying issues.
