2004 Cadillac SRX had emissions recall work completed in 2008. Since that time GM and Cadillac have had numerous recalls in subsequent model years with the same issue. Emissions problems have reoccurred. The problem is actually not being fixed if it keeps reoccurring. This affects the air we breathe. Vehicle has been inspected.

While sitting at a friend's house on a hill my brakes went completely out once I hit them they went to the floor and we eended up hitting a tree stump that saved us from going off a steep cliff to possibly hurting each and everyone of us in the car.

While driving down the road the sunroof detached causing me to have to grab it to stop from flying off while going 75mph down the highway. And then hold it on while I operated the vehicle to a safer place to duck tape it back down. This caused the sunroof to obviously not operate properly any longer as well obviously...

Ran out of gas after putting gas in the car tried to start it and the ignition got stuck and continued to try to start on its own I had to pull the back to the off position I tried to start it again and it would not start and the lights on the dash And the radio control center did not come on. And car will not even try to start before this the car had been cutting off while driving down the road for no reason and it kept showing a check stability control warning and low tire pressure even though tires were not low at all

THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A RECALL IMMEDIATELY AS THE ISSUE CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER/ PASSENGERS/ OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED ON BOTH THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS, IT ABRUPTLY SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER LANE WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES OR MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FOR A FEW SECONDS TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. A "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" WARNING POPS UP ON THE SCREEN DIRECTLY AFTERWARDS AND A LOUD WARNING SOUND CONSTANTLY RINGS THROUGH THE CAR UNTIL YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN REPEATS THE SAME PROBLEM. RESEARCH OF THE ISSUE SHOWS THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND UPON INSPECTION AT THE MECHANIC, MOST ARE NOT GIVEN A SOLUTION. SOME BLOGS SAY REPLACING THE "STEERING WHEEL SENSOR" HAS SOLVED THEIR PROBLEM HOWEVER I HAVE REPLACED THE SENSOR ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE STEERING POWER STEERING RACK, BRAKES, TIRES, AND SEVERAL OTHER PARTS AND IN A YEAR I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE COMPANY NEEDS TO RECALL AND INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.

THIS CAR HAS A PANORAMIC SUN ROOF. THE ENTIRE ROOF OF THE CAR IS GLASS. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENTIRE SUNROOF (THE GLASS PANELS, THE TRACKS, THE SUNROOF MOTORS, THE RACK) COMPLETELY FLEW OFF AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BEHIND IT. . I GUESS THE WIND GOT UNDER IT AND RIPPED THE SUNROOF FROM THE CAR. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE PANORAMIC ROOF IS INSTALLED AND SECURED WITH ONLY GLUE. THERE ARE NO BOLTS THAT SECURE THE ROOF TO THE CAR. THE GLUE MUST'VE BEEN GETTING OLD AND ALLOWED THE WIND TO TEAR THE REST OF IT APART.

ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX, IT STARTED JERKING AND MAKING A LOUD CLICKING OR POPPING SOUND, LATER FOUND OUT THAT A FEW SPROCKETS INSIDE THE TRANSFER CASE HAD BROKE OFF AND THE CHAIN? WAS SLIPPING. THIS WAS THE REAR, THE CARLOTS MECHANIC FIXED IT, THEN THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE THROTTLE BODY INTAKE HAD TO BE OPENED AND CLEANED BECAUSE IT WASNT OPENING LIKE IT IS DESIGNED TO DO, AND SO THE EXHAUST WAS GETTING TRAPPED IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. ONE SUMMER DAY IN TRAFFIC IT CUT OFF ALL POWER, WE ENDED UP GETTING IT STARTED AGAIN TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD, AND IT GOT US BACK HOME, THAT WAS A YEAR AGO AND IT HASNT RAN SINCE. ALSO IF YOU HAD TRACTION CONTROL TURNED ON, THE ABS WOULD APPLY THEMSELVES WHICH SOMETIMES FELT UNSAFE. ALWAYS GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SAYING TO SERVICE THE STABLITRAX SYSTEM OR TO REPAIR THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE TIRE THINGS THAT TELL YOU HOW MUCH AIR IS IN EACH TIRE, WE HAD 1 THAT DIDNT REGISTER AT ALL. THE SUNROOF SHADE WAS SHUT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND IN TRAFFIC IT SPRUNG OPEN FAST AND LOUD AND IT WAS A SCARY SITE WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT AND YOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS SEVERAL RECALLS ISSUED AND FIXED, SO MANY HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER, SOME LIFE THREATENING AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE, IF LIKE ME LOW INCOME THEY DONT WANT TO GO THRU BUYING ANOTHER CAR THEY WANT THEIR CADILLAC SRX FIXED SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET USE OF WHAT THEY PAID FOR. THE CAR LOT TOLD ME TO USE UNLEADED GASOLINE BUT THE BOOK SAYS TO USE PREMIUM, CAN GM CLEAR THIS UP PLEASE!!

I WAS DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF ON ME EVERY THING LOCKED UP EVEN THE BRAKES I COULDN'T STOP SO I CHUNKED THE GEAR IN PARK TO AVOID FROM SMASHING INTO ANYONE I WAS SO AFRAID BUT IT CRANK RIGHT UP AFTER BUT I NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND THE GAS GAUGE WAS NO LONGER WORKING..
