2015 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, 8/6/15, MY 2 WEEK OLD 2015 CADILLAC SRX (650 MILEAGE) SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CONTINUED TO DO SO WHILE I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, REPEATEDLY. MY WIFE AND I COULD SMELL THE BRAKE PADS AS IF THEY WERE "BURNING" FROM THE PRESSURE I APPLIED BUT THE SRX WOULD NOT STOP. WHENEVER I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. I PULLED OVER INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. WE WERE TRAUMATIZED AS OUR GRANDCHILD WAS IN THE VEHICLE . THE SRX HAS BEEN IN THE CADILLAC SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE PAST TWO WEEKS AS THEY TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE COMPUTER DID NOT REPORT ANY PROBLEM AND TEST DRIVES WOULD NOT DUPLICATE THE OCCURRENCE FOR THE SERVICEMAN.

WHEN ACCELERATING, CAR LUNGES FORWARD AND KICKS BACK WHEN TRANSMISSION IS CHANGING GEARS AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEED. CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DEALER (VERA CADILLAC IN PEMBROKE PINES) NUMEROUS TIMES BUT DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A NORMAL CONDITION. WHEN PRESSED THE SERVICE MANGER ADMITTED IT IS NORMAL BUT ON THE EXTREME SIDE BUT REFUSES TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I BELIEVE THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED. GM CORPORATE HAS BEEN HAS BEEN CONTACTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND IS UNCOOPERATIVE AND REFUSES TO RETURN PHONES. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.

CAR WAS MAKING WHISTLING/HOWLING SOUND BETWEEN 30MPH-45MPH. THOUGHT POSSIBLY A BREAKING IN ISSUE, BUT CONTINUED AFTER 1200 MILES AND WAS MOST PREVALENT AT STATED MPH ABOVE. SHOP STATED BEARING ISSUE IN DRIVE SHAFT AND ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT MUST BE REPLACED. CONCERN OVER EFFECT TO OTHER POWER TRAIN PARTS CONNECTED TO DEFECTIVE DRIVE SHAFT. COULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL PARTS REPLACED. DEFINITIVELY, A SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

TO MY KNOWLEDGE RECALL FOR SEATS OUT BOARD CORRECTION NOT PERFORMED BEFORE TAKING DELIVERY ON 12/26/2014. I'M MAKING AN APPT. AS OF TODAY 1/2/2015. I'M HEARING A WHISTLING / HOWLING LIKE NOISE WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 25 TO 35 MPH. GETS LOADER WHEN ACCELERATING AND SEEMS TO BE MORE PREVALENT WHEN STARTING AND COLD. THE SOUND CAUSES ME TO WONDER IF ITS RELATED TO SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS (THAT COULD) FAIL CAUSING LOST OF CONTROL. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM BENEATH THE REAR OF VEHICLE. *TR
