CADILLAC Complaints

I PURCHASED MY 2013 SRX AT THE END OF MARCH 2013. ON MORE THAN 4 OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN AT A STOP. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR COASTS SLIGHTLY BUT DOES NOT GO. I PULL OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN. AFTER REPEATING THIS PROCESS, AND SEVERAL SECONDS LATER THE VEHICLE WILL SLOWLY MOVE. I HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN INCLUDING TWICE WITHIN THE LAST WEEK AND I HAVE SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK. *TR

OIL SMELL FUMES COMINING FROM THE HEATER VENTS. SO BAD AT TIMES WE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT CADILLAC DEALERS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON CODE P0411 AND IT WENT OUT. TOOK IT TO THE DELEAR AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. ON MARCH 2ND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY. I WAS TOLD NEXT TIME THE I GOT THE SMELL TO GO DIRECTLY TO ANY GM DELEAR. I HAD TAKEN MY WIFE TO THE DOCTOR IN NATICK MASS AND WE GOT THE FUMES AND I WENT TO LONG CADILLAC WHICH I WAS TOLD TO DO ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY MOVED TO WESTBORO MASS. A FORMER TROBULE SHOOTER FOR GM WHO USED TO WOREK FOR FROST CADILLAC UNTIL THEY LOST THEIR FRANCHISE TOLD MY SON THIS IS A COMMON THING WITH 2006 TO 2010 CADILLACS AND IF THIS IS THE CASE THE MOTOR HAS TO COME OUT OF THE VEHICLE SO IT CAN BE RESEALED. I HAVE A FEW MONTHS LEFT ON MY BUMBER TO BUMBER WARRANTY AND IT SEEMS THAT GM IS STALLING ME UNTIL THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I HAVE SENT TWO LETTERS TO GM ONE WAS TO THEIR PRESIDENT AND ALL I WOULD GET IS A NICE PERSON WHOM SEEMED THEY WERE INTERESTED BUT NOTHING WAS EVER DONE BY THEM EXCEPT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE CADILLAC DEALER. MY CAR HAS 64,000 ON IT. *TR

THE FIRST TWO TIMES I LOST POWER I WAS IN TOWN BUT IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM. I FEEL GM HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE HONEST. I AM BEING TOLD NOTHING OTHER THEN THEY ARE WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC COLLISION AVOIDANCE BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WITH NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR FOR OVER A MILE AND FULLY SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND FLASHED THE HEADS UP DISPLAY COLLISION WARNING. THIS SYSTEM FAILED MULTIPLE WAYS, ONE IT THOUGHT THERE WAS AN EMINENT COLLISION WHEN THERE WASN'T AND TWO IT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO APPLY BRAKES AT THOSE SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE MOST RECENT WAS AFTER A "FIX" BY THE DEALER. IF THERE HAD BEEN AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME WHEN THE CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES THAT COULDN'T STOP AS FAST AS MY CAR THERE WOULD'VE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WITH POSSIBLE FATALITY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 385 WHEN A DEER FLEW OUT IN FRONT OF ME. WE HIT HEAD ON DESTROYING THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF IF THAT DEER WOULD HAVE FLOWN UP ON THE HOOD AND CAME THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD IT COULD HAVE KILLED ME. THE AIR BAG COULD HAVE SAVED MY LIFE. WHY DID IT NOT DEPLOY. *TR
