2004 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO VEER EITHER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAD IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000. UPDATED 2/23/11 *CN UPDATED 07/11/11

MY TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD UNLESS I MANUALLY DISABLE IT. THIS COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WILL BE JERKED AND PULLED EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. IT BEGAN IN JANUARY OF 2009 AND CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVEN AFTER TRYING MANY THINGS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT, CAUSING THE BRAKES TO BECOME ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE SERVICE STABILIZING SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME. THE CONTACT HAD TO HIT THE RESET BUTTON AND THE COMPUTER RESET ITSELF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO WORK. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE SELECTED SIGNAL DOES NOT FLASH WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED AS IF THE BULB IS BURNT OUT. WENT TO THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE BULB THREE TIMES, BUT, THE BULBS WERE GOOD. AFTER REPLACING BULB THE SIGNAL STILL DID NOT WORK. AFTER, SEVERAL WEEKS IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. A MONTH OR SO LATER THIS HAPPEN AGAIN AND TOOK TO DEALER AND AGAIN THE BULB WAS REPLACED THIS TIME THE BULB WAS BURNT OUT. THE SIGNAL WORKED FOR 2 MONTHS AND WENT OUT AGAIN. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM CAR. MY DEALER CALLS IT THE MYSTIFYING CAR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT GM WILL NOT ADMIT TO. SHAME ON GM, NO WONDER AMERICANS ARE GOING FOREIGN. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS BULB IS $85.00 EACH TIME.

MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX HAS 98000 MILES ON IT. THE SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES, EACH TIME I START THE CAR. I CLEAR THE SYSTEM AND JUST DRIVE. THE CAR SHAKES WHILE DRIVING A BIT AND DOES PULL TO THE RIGHT. I AM NOT EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS MANY OTHERS ARE FACING WITH THIS SAME WARNING, BUT FEEL I TOO WILL SOON, IT IS GETTING WORSE. I ALSO WAS FORCED TO PUT IN 89 OCTANE GAS AT A STATION THAT DIDNT HAVE SUPER, I HAD A LOW FUEL LIGHT. AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE. I CANCELLED MY TRIP AND DROVE TO MY MECHANIC. HE STATED THERE WAS A MISFIRE WHICH MAY BE FROM LOWER GRADE GAS BUT AFTER A FILL UP OF SUPER AND A FULL DAY OF DRIVING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING. BRINGING IT BACK TO GET SERVICED I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO MISFIRE, CLOGGED INJECTORS NORFAULTY PLUGS. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE ECU. THESE CARS SENSE A PROBLEM AND "SHUT OFF" THE PROBLEMATIC FULE INJECTOR. WELL MINE IS NOT PROBLEMATIC BUT THE COMPUTER SAYS IT IS!!! NOW WHAT BUY A NEW ECU!!! 149.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND OVER 500.00 FOR THE ECU NOT INCLUDING LABOR, I'M LOOKING AT A GRAND TO FIX THE PROBLEM, IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM!!! I REALLY LOVE THE STYLE AND LOOK OF THIS CAR, BUT ALL THE EXTRA CRAP IS OVERKILL. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THE STABILITY SYSTEM QUICK, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A TOYOTA SITUATION ON OUR HANDS *TR

MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGES CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. CAR VIBRATES, STEERING WHEEL STIFFENS WHERE YOU CAN NOT STEER, BRAKES ARE ENGAGED, AND SLOWS DOWN 5-10 MPH INSTANTLY CAUSING TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU TO BACK UP AND COULD RUN INTO YOU. IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN IN WET CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE CONTROL AND SPIN INTO TRAFFIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS VERY SCARY. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY FIVE MILES AND STABILITY CONTROL MUST BE DISENGAGED TO PREVENT FROM HAPPENING. *TR

WHEN MAKING A TURN, GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP OR TAKING A SHARP TURN THE TRACTION ENGAGEMENT SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL STOP ACCELERATING. *TR

WE PURCHASED A SET OF FOUR TIRES FROM THE SAME COMPANY ON THE SAME DAY THEY WERE PUT ON. THE MANUFACTURER IS GENERAL, P255/60R17 WHICH ARE THE REAR TIRES FOR A CADILLAC SRX 2004. BOTH TIRES WERE THE SAME, ONE CURRENTLY HAS THE BELTS SHOWING ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, THE OTHER IS FINE. THE PEOPLE WHO SOLD THEM TO US SAID THE WARRANTY IS NOT VALID BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ROTATED. THEY SAID SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN WE WANTED THEM ROTATED, THAT THEY COULDN'T DO THAT, BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT SIZES, WE ASKED FOR THEM TO BE ROTATED FROM SIDE TO SIDE, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE FOR THIS, THEY NO LONGER SELL THIS BRAND OF TIRE. THE TIRES ONLY HAVE 23,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN THIS PAST MONDAY OCT. 11, 2010. THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL WEAR FOR THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. IT IS ABNORMAL TO ME BECAUSE OF THE UNEVEN WEAR..... WHAT ARE WE TO DO? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE PCM WAS REPAIRED. AFTER 2,000 MILES, THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. A FEW DAYS AGO THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE STARTED APPEARING ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. IT IS OCCURRING SEVERAL TIMES AS I DRIVE. THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN MAKES A NOISE AND JERKS AND THE MESSAGE FLASHES. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND GENERAL ROADS. IT'S SCARY AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN THE CAR WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR
