MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND THEN THE KEY WOULD GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULDN'T TURN. THE THEFT SECURITY LIGHT CAME ON. ECM ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED. $1,000. *JS

I FOUND OUT I HAVE RUSTY BRAKE LINES. MY BRAKES FAILED ON ME WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT AND SAW THE FLUID POURING FROM UNDER MY CAR. *JS

SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM CAME ON ONE DAY AND IT WONT GIVE ME THE KEY BACK I HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT MANUALY ALSO WONT READ MILES, TEMPERATURE, FUEL AND SOMETIMES WHILE ON THE ROAD IT WILL DIE COMPLETELY, IT READS SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM AND SERVICE STABILITY

POWER STEERING ENGAGES ON ITS OWN AND CAUSES PROBLEMS WHEN I AM TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP THAT IS CAUSING IT TO TURN ONLY WHEN IN MOTION AND IT IS STILL HARD TO TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY FAILED TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION UNTIL AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V394000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,288.

I HAVE BEEN HEARING A RATTLE(FRONT END) FOR 2 YEARS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND INSPECTED BY JACKING UP CAR AND VISUALLY INSPECTING. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK TO THE RIGHT AND WANT TO GO TO ANOTHER LANE AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON. I FOUND A INCH AND A HALF GAP IN FRAME THAT IS RUSTED AND WAS NEVER WELDED. THE GAP IS UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL UNDER CAR. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME DUE TO METAL FATIGUE AND RUST. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE AREA . THE FRAME COULD BREAK DUE TO THIS AND MAKES THE VEHICLE A SAFETY HAZARD. I DO FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND THE IDEA OF OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT AS I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUNDS OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. I ALSO DO NOT FEEL SAFE SELLING THIS CAR AS IT IS A DANGER ON THE ROAD. PLEASE ME CONTACT ME BY EMAIL. THANK YOU *TR
