2005 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

RIGHT AND LEFT TURN SINGLES HAVE GONE OUT 6 TO 7 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. WHEN THEY ARE REPLACED THEY ONLY LAST A FEW WEEKS. MY DEALERS SATES THAT THE PLUGS NEED REPLACED. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS AFFECTS 2004 THROUGH 20009. WITH LARGE NUMBER I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. 30% OF ALL ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY NOT USING OR FAULTY TURN SINGLES. THE DEALER CHARGES $200.00 TO REPLACE THE BULBS PER SIDE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STABILITY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I BOUGHT MY 2005 CADILLAC SRX AT 43,000 MILES JUNE 25,2012 NOW IT'S JANUARY 23,2014 AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT 72,000 MILES. THERE WAS A HUGE LEAK STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT AND STABILITY WAS IN USE. MY FATHER SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THE PUMP WAS REPLACED ONCE THAT'S RIDICULOUS WITH THE LOW MILES MY CAR HAS. I THINK CADILLAC REALLY NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE RECALLS ON THE 2004'S THEY NEED TO FIX THE 2005'S TOO! IT'S A BURDEN RIGHT NOW I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT'S SITS IN THE GARAGE NOW! *TR

I OWN A 2005 CADILLAC SRX AWD V8. THERE WAS A POWER STEERING LEAK THAT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 9/2010 (DATE COULD BE OFF, BUT GM HAS THE OFFICIAL DATES/MILEAGE). THIS WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE STATING THAT THIS IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE IN THIS STYLE CADILLAC. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM AT THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 3 WEEKS AS THE PART WAS OUT OF STOCK AND IN PRODUCTION. GM AGREED TO PAY FOR MY RENTAL CAR. APPROXIMATELY 4/2013 THE SAME LEAK STARTED UNDER MY POWER STEERING RETURN LINE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THIS PART TO DEFAULT AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING RETURN LINE AGAIN. THEY QUOTED ME APPROXIMATELY $2000. I AGAIN FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM AND THEY SAID THOUGH IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO PAY ANY COST FOR REPAIR. I HAVE A MUTUAL FRIEND WHO OWNS THE SAME STYLE CADILLAC SRX AS I DO AND THE SAME PROBLEM JUST HAPPENED TO HIM. HE WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT HE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK AND RETURN LINE FOR A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $2000. I BELIEVE THERE IS A HUGE RISK IN ALLOWING THESE VEHICLES TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD IF THEY HAVE PS PROBLEMS. MY VEHICLE EVEN AFTER HAVING THE LINE FIXED IS AGAIN SPEWING POWER STEERING FLUID ALL OF MY ENGINE PARTS AND DRIPS ONTO MY AXLE. IF I AM STOPPED WITH MY CAR ON, YOU CAN SEE SMOKE RISING AND THERE IS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE AFFECTED AREA. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AFTER THE DEALER PERFORMED ITS CHECKS, IT STATED IT WAS A PURGE VALVE, WHICH THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED, HOWEVER A WEEK LATER THE ENGINE BROKEN DOWN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT, IT WAS TIMING CHAIN THAT TOTALLY FAILED CAUSING MORE THAN 8000.00 IN REPAIRS WHEN THE ENGINE ONLY HAD 65,000 MILES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. I GOT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED OUT. I HAD IT REPLACED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO 3 DIFFERENT BRAKE LINES. THE LATEST WAS JUST LAST WEEK, GOING UP MY DAUGHTERS DRIVEWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THEN ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY, WHICH APPLIED THE REAR BRAKES. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

2005 CADILLAC SRX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE JERKING,BUCKING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE BRAKES. APPARENTLY, THE VEHICLE HAS FIVE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS THAT CAN WORK THE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY, AND IT SEEMED ONE OF THEM WAS WORKING HARDER THAN NORMAL. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THREE OR FOUR TIMES WHEN MAKING A FULL STOP, SO THE BRAKES WOULD NOT HEAT UP OR WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. HOWEVER, HE BELIEVED THE VEHICLE WAS INTERPRETING HIS WAY AS A PANIC STOP. WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE ONLY ONCE, WITHOUT LETTING OFF THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO A FULL STOP, THERE WAS NO BUCKING. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE PANIC BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM , WAS ONLY ONE OF THE FIVE BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEMS THAT HE BELIEVED COULD STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY, AS IT DID THE PREVIOUS WEEK.

I HAVE FOUND THAT THE REASON FOR DISAPPEARING OIL IS THE SNORKEL FOR AIR INTAKE IS TO SMALL, AND WHILE DRIVING ENGINE SUCKS OIL OUT OF TAPPIT COVER INTO INTAKE AND THE AUTO BURNS IT. ITS A POOR DESIGN AND GM SHOULD REPAIR IT. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON INTERSTATE I-85 SOUTH IN GEORGIA ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR SEEMED TO BE HESITATING AND THEN STOPPED. BROUGHT CAR (TOWED) TO ROSS CADILLAC IN GAINSVILLE GA. DEALER EXAMINE CAR AND SAID IT WAS 4 QUARTS LOW ON OIL I DON'T SEE HOW THAT'S POSSIBLE WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL THAT MORNING AND IT WAS FINE. I HAD THE CAR OIL CHANGED LESS THAN 3000 MILES AGO. DEALER SAID HE RAN CODES AND IT INDICATED TIMING CHAIN WAS BAD. DEALER QUOTED ME $1600 FOR NEW TIMING CHAIN. DEALER CALLED NEXT DAY AND SAID IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE FOR $3800 IN ADDITION TO THE ALREADY INCURRED $700. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME CALL IT DISAPPEARING OIL?? THE CAR HAS NO WARRANTY BUT YOU WOULD THINK CADILLAC WOULD HAVE NOTIFIED DEALERS OF THIS RECURRING PROBLEM AND HAD A RECALL FOR TIMING CHAIN, LOW OIL PROBLEM. *TR
