2004 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

THE CAR DIES AFTER TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. IT GOES FROM 65 MPH TO 0. THE BRAKES, STEERING, AND COMPLETE POWER DIES. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT THIS POINT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 5 TIMES NOW. ALSO, WHEN THE CARS DOES TURN BACK ON IT WILL ONLY GO 10 MPH AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TURN IT BACK ON THE RPM'S WILL GO TO THE MAX. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO EXPLODE. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. *LA

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I-75 ABOUT 70MPH IN HER CADILLAC 2004 SRX. THE SUNROOF WAS COMPLETLEY OPENED AND BOTH FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS WERE CLOSED AND BOTH REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS WERE OPEN. ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE FELT A POP IN HER EARS AND THEN THE REAR WINDOW SHEID SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO OUTSIDE TRAUMA TO THE VEHICLE. WE ARE WORRIED THAT THIS MIGHT BE A PRESSURE EQUALIZATION PROBLEM AND A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. PE05-052.PCO

THE CONSUMER HAS RUN OUT OF GAS ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IS LOW.
