2005 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

CADILLAC ISSUED A TSB IN APRIL 2012 (TSB #PIT-3749D), WHICH IS ALSO NOTED AS NHTSA ID #10037570 REGARDING RUST AND FRAME CORROSION. MY 2005 CADILLAC SRX IS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, AND I WAS JUST QUOTED $5700 TO REPAIR THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WHY ISN'T THE NHTSA REQUIRING A RECALL IF THE STRUCTURAL FRAME OF THE CAR IS ERODING AWAY? I CAN SEND YOU ALL MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH CADILLAC CORPORATE OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT ON AUGUST 11 2016. AIRBAG IS FAULTY AND CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE 2005 SRC 04/01/2021: ODI # CHANGED FROM 10895442 TO 10895253 AS PART OF ROUTINE DATA CLEANUP.

VEHICLE STATIONARY. UNABLE TO START. UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY. BATTERY GOES DEAD. 2 GM DEALERSHIPS SAY THERE IS NO FIX. HAVE HAD CAR DIAGNOSED. NO FIX IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CADILLAC. DEALERSHIPS "FIX" SO CAR STARTS AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEM STARTS. PLEASE ADVISE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC SRX. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM AN INDEPENDENT DEALER, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED FORD DEALER.

TOOK THE CAR TO THE SUPERMARKET & AS I WAS DRIVING HOME I WENT TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT & MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. THERE WAS NO WARNING, THANK GOD I WAS NOT GOING FAST AND I WAS NOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. BRAKE FLUID HAD COMPLETELY DRAINED OUT OF THE SYSTEM. GOT MY CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP WHERE WE HAVE ALL OUR CARS SERVICED. MECHANIC SAID ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALL ROTTED/RUSTED. CAN'T GET PARTS ANYMORE, THEY HAVE TO 'FABRICATE' THEM. PRICE TO REPAIR $1200.00 MY CAR ONLY HAS 58K & IS GARAGED. I DO LIVE ON LONG ISLAND BUT HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THROUGH ANY FLOODS. CADILLAC SAYS 'CAR IS TOO OLD FOR ANY RECOURSE ON THEIR PART'. WHAT ELSE IS NEW. I LOST MY BRAKES IN AN INSTANT WITH NO WARNING. I'M GRATEFUL I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR GET MYSELF KILLED. HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. I GUESS YOU CAN ADD MY CAR TO YOUR STATISTICS. I GUESS I COULD ASK MECHANIC FOR PICTURES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE PLACING 2 PLASTIC CAPS ON A KEY SOLVES THIS IGNITION RECALL? THE RECALL IS FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH! I TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY AND THIS IS HOW THEY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. THIS WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME AND I AM NO MORE SAFER NOW THAN BEFORE I WENT IN.

ON TUESDAY, JULY 21, I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT ON THE CORNER OF MERRICK AVENUE AND STEWART AVENUE IN GARDEN CITY, NY. WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, THERE WAS A LOUD POP. I BRIEFLY LEFT MY AUTOMOBILE AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I TURNED AT THE LIGHT SINCE MY DESTINATION WAS LESS THAN A BLOCK FROM WHERE THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE.
