2010 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

THE 2010 CADILLAC SRX HAS AN ISSUE WHERE A RUBBING NOISE IS HEARD ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS TURNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD WITH MANY SRX OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE, AS CAN BE SEEN AT THE WEB SITE OF WWW.CADILLACOWNERS.COM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-866-982-2339 OVER A WEEK AGO AND HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE. IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT THE ISSUE SEEMS RELATED TO THE STEERING SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. SINCE THE ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD, I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS NEED FOR A RECALL. I HOPE NHTSA CAN WORK WITH CADILLAC TO GET THE ISSUE ADDRESSED ASAP IN ORDER TO PREVENT A TRAGEDY INVOLVING THE 2010 CADILLAC SRX. *TR

SCRATCHING NOISE FROM FRONT TIRES. I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES. AT FIRST SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED NOT TO HEAR IT, NOW THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE NOISE BUT STATE "IT IS SOMETHING I HAVE TO LIVE WITH". OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED BUT THERE IS NOT A FIX, SO UNTIL THE PROBLEM CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND A FIX ESTABLISHED I JUST HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE NOISE. *TR

I AM HARD OF HEARING SO I DIDN'T HEAR THAT IT WAS OPEN AND THERE WAS NO ALARM OR INDICATOR LIGHT SAYING THE DOOR WAS OPEN. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE FIRST ON MAY 21, THE SECOND ON AUGUST 14, WHILE DRIVING MY 8 MONTH OLD 2010 CADILLAC SRX WITH 8549 MILES ON IT AT SPEED, DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO CRAZY, I GET A STABILITRAK WARNING AND THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO A GEAR TO DRIVE IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR LET IT SIT FOR AT LEAST 90 SECONDS THEN RE START AND GO. FIRST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD SEE WHAT HAPPENED BUT NOT WHY IT HAPPENED. THEY TOOK THINGS APART AND PUT THINGS TOGETHER HOPING TO CATCH A LOOSE FITTING. SECOND TOW TO THE SHOP, AUGUST 14TH, THE CAR IS STILL THERE AS OF 9/1. I AM TOLD THAT A PART IS NEEDED AND THAT PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND WON'T BE IN FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS OR SO. PART NEEDED IS TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. *TR
