2006 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" CHANGE OIL LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY EVEN AFTER OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED AND CANNOT RESET. AIRBAG LIGHT ON ALSO BOTH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON WHEN CRANKING AND WHILE DRIVING. MY TRACTION ENGAGES WHEN EMERGING TO TURN ON TO INCOMING TRAFFIC THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. MY CONCERN IS THE ROADS ARE NOT WET OR SLIPPERY FOR THE TRACTION TO ENGAGE AND THAT'S A SAFETY CONCERN , IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY AIRBAG LIGHT JUST RECENTLY STARTED COMING ON AND READING THE OWNER'S MANUAL. IT WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF I HAD AN IMPACT IT WON'T DEPLOY OR WHILE DRIVING IT COULD DEPLOY. I'VE HEARD THAT CADILLAC HAS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINED OF THESE PROBLEMS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOME PEOPLE LIKE ME OR NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PAY $100 PLUS DOLLARS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AND I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

RANDOM TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGEMENT AND STABILITY SYSTEM BOTH NOTED IN RADIO -- BUT NO CONDITIONS TO WARRANT IT AND NO CODES TO EXPLAIN IT--WHEN CHECKED NOTHING FOUND. CAUSES DANGEROUS UNEXPECTED SLOWING OF VEHICLE BOTH AT INITIAL ACCELERATION AND TURNING WHICH IS CONTRARY TO WHAT WOULD BE EXPECTED BY SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. THEN SLUGGISH W DECELERATION BUT NO CHECK LIGHT AND MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE. NOW WILL ONLY DRIVE FORWARD, CAN'T DRIVE OR EVEN PUSH IN REVERSE. THIS EVENT WAS PRECEDED BY LOSS OF ACCELERATION ON HIGHWAY (SLUGGISH) -- ALSO DANGEROUS AND STILL NI ENGINE LIGHT!

WHILE DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED THE CAR TRACKING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS IN THE MEDIUM OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE MORE I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN AT A STOP SIGN GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE OR NOT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME AND I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.
