2004 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

MY REAR SUBFRAME CAME UN-WELDED. CAR LOST ABILITY TO CONTROL DIRECTION DUE TO REAR WHEEL POINTING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODEL BUT NOT YET FOR THE 2004 MODEL. *TR

2004 CADILLAC SRX HAS "SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL" MESSAGE COME UP AND READING SEVERAL FORUMS, SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THE CONDITION GETS WORSE TO THE POINT OF ENDANGERING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE START GETTING INJURED. ALSO KEEP GETTING "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" WARNING WITHOUT THE TIRES BEING LOW. *TR

STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS KICKS IN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO AND THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. PROBLEM HAS STARTED AGAIN. HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM. *TR

TURN SIGNAL/DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS BURN OUT EVERY OTHER MONTH. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BULB AND SOCKET ON BOTH SIDES 6 SEPARATE TIMES. *TR

WE HAVE OWNED A 2004 CADILLAC SRX FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN GIVING US AN ERROR CODE SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM. I TOOK IN INTO MY LOCAL MECHANIC BUT HE SAID I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BUT SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE MAC SENSOR. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE DEALER KEN BATCHELLOR IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. IN THE MEAN TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AND THE CAR WAS STARTING TO LOCK UP ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE ERROR CODE CAME ON. THIS WAS TRULY A FRIGHTENING AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE ONLY WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE SITUATION WAS TO STOP THE VEHICLE TURN IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SAME THINGS AS THE MY MECHANIC AND A FEW OTHER THINGS AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. I TOOK IT HOME AND IMMEDIATELY THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. HE REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND SAID THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER PAYING MY MECHANIC $540, THE DEALER $1700, I WAS NOT WILLING TO SPEND THE $1800 FOR THE SENSOR. I FEEL ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND GM SHOULD HAVE TO REIMBURSE THOSE OF US THAT HAVE SPENT MONEY BECAUSE THE DEALERS SAY THERE IS NO COVERAGE. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE MANY BLOGS ONLINE SUCH AS WWW.EDMONDS.COM AND ABOUT AUTOMOBILE.COM TO SEE HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE THIS IS AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS SITUATION IS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

DRIVING TO NORMAN OKLAHOMA FROM FLOWER MOUND TX. IN 2004 CADILLAC SRX. STABILITY SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON MULTIPLE TIMES. ABOUT AN HOUR INTO TRIP SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM MESSAGE COMES ON. GOT OUT BOOK SAID TO GET TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. CALL DEALER AND HE SAID NOT TO WORRY BUT AFTER READING OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AND A COUPLE OF TIMES, IT FELT LIKE WHEELS WERE LOCKING UP AND THAT I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. LOOKS LIKE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK IN TO THIS PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON PERIODICALLY FOR THE PAST MONTH BUT JUST IN TOWN DRIVING. I WAS VERY CONCERNED YESTERDAY AS AT TIMES IT FELT THAT I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL OF WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS DOING. I WILL BE REPORTING TO GM ON MONDAY AND TAKING MY CAR TO DEALER BUT IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP ARE UNSURE OF PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE TELLING CUSTOMERS NOT TO WORRY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SRX THAT CONTINUALLY GIVES ME A "STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGED" ON THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM SCREEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BRAKES START TO LOCK. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2004. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT AND SUGGESTED I GET NEW TIRES THAT CAME FROM GM BACK ON THE CAR INSTEAD OF THE TIRES I HAVE NOW THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE CAR FOR A YEAR. IF THE TIRES WERE A PROBLEM, IT SHOULD HAVE STARTED A YEAR AGO WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES REBALANCED AND PROPER AIR PUT IN THEM AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL TIRE EXPERTS AND NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD THAT YOU CAN ONLY PUT ONE TYPE OF TIRE ON THE CADILLAC'S. I PUT THE SAME SIZE JUST A DIFFERENT BRAND TO QUITE THE ROAD NOISE IN THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TURN TO AT THIS POINT. IT MAKES IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING A CAR WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS WILL ENGAGE AND MAKE THE CAR FEEL UNSTABLE. I'M AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT AT THIS TIME AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR. *TR

KEY STUCK IN IGNITION, ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITH OUT APPLYING THE BRAKE FIRST. WITH ENGINE OFF CAN SHIFT FROM PARK. THE CAR WAS SERVICE THRU A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY 2010. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY SPUN OUT OF CONTROL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A PARTIAL DETACHMENT OF THE SUBFRAME CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE OR MISSING FRAME WELDS.

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,345.

CADILLAC SRX 2004, THE STABILIZER KEEPS ENGAGING AND WHEN IT ENGAGES, IT JERKS THE CAR, IT MAKES THE CAR SWERVE. IT ENGAGES WITHOUT NOTICE AND IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IT ENGAGES, YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. *TR
