ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPEN TWICE AND I WAS ALMOST IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT (KILLED). BOTH INCIDENTS I PULLED OUT OF A DRIVE WAY TURN LEFT THE 1ST TIME AND RIGHT THE OTHER AND MY BRAKES LOCKED UP ON ME AND THE SYSTEM STABILITY SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM APPEARED ON THE DASH, ONCOMING CARS APPROACH THE CAR AND I WAS ALMOST HIT WITH KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME; I HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND RESTART. CADILLAC NEEDS TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES DEATH. I AM MAKING THIS COMMENT BECAUSE IF I HAVE A FATAL ACCIDENT I WILL MAKE SURE MY FAMILY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICE MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. IF CADILLAC FAILS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE BLOOD WILL BE ON THEIR HANDS. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE INVOLVING THE TRACTION CONTROL STABILITY SYSTEM LOCKING UP. THE LAST TWO EVENT INVOLVED A CRASH. THE MOST RECENT CRASH I BROKE MY NECK AND I AM IN REHAB RECOVERY. THIS MOST RECENT CRASH INVOLVED A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL WHERE THE STABILITY LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON ALL OF SUDDEN ON A SNOW / ICE COVERED ROAD, AND THE BACK END SPUN AROUND AND I CRASHED INTO THE DITCH ALONG THE ROAD. I SUFFERED A BROKEN NECK AND STILL HAVE THE NECK BRACE. AS SOON AS THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON THE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE, AND BEGAN TO SLIDE AND SPIN OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WHERE THE VEHICLE SHIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A JERKING FASHION FOR NO REASON WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. AT THAT TIME I WAS ALSO IN A CRASH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CADILLAC SRX FROM YEARS 2004-2009 HAS A PROBLEM WITH BURNT OUT FRONT TURN SIGNAL/RUNNING LIGHT BULBS. TO CHANGE AN $8.00 BULB COST ABOUT $150-200 BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO ACCESS THE BULB. I FEEL THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A TURN SIGNAL (SAFETY) PROBLEM GM SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR FREE OR MADE AN ENGINEERING CHANGE WHICH THEY DIDN'T. THE WEB SHOWS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM SRX OWNERS WHO HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS NUMEROUS TIMES AND GAVE UP AND NOW HAVE NO FRONT TURN SIGNALS. MOST WHO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM SAY THAT THE BULB RUNS TOO HOT CRACKING THE AC-DELCO SOCKET(19120947). THE LAST TIME I REPLACED THE BULBS ONE BURNT OUT IN A WEEK. MY VEHICLE IS AN 2004 CADILLAC SRX AWD 3.6 L 6 CYLINDER ENGINE AND AS 10/3/2004 MY MILEAGE IS 40065. BULBS HAVE BURNT OUT 4 TIMES. *TR

SUSPENSION
FIRST STARTED HEARING PROBLEM WHEN I PURCHASED SUV BACK IN JUNE 2012, I TOOK IT TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASING THE SUV AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1600.00. WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS A EXISTING CONDITION. SO, THAT'S THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE. NOW, THE SAME ISSUE GOT WORSE (@ 108,000 MILES) AND BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE AND I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM WAS IN THE RECALL INFO FROM DEC 2007 ON THE LEMONLAW SITE. JULY 17TH 2014 I TOOK MY SUV IN FOR REPAIR ON ANOTHER ISSUE, THEN ON THE 19TH I CALLED THE DEALER CAUSE I STARTED TO HEAR A WHINNNG NOISE AND A CLUNK SOUND THAT WAS EVEN LOUDER THAN BEFORE. THAT SAME DAY AS I WAS TRANSPORTING A CLIENT COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT MY CAR SUDDENLY JERKED SO HARD MY CLIENT ALMOST BUMPED HER HEAD ON THE DASHBOARD AND ME ON THE STIRRING WHEEL. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO ANOTHER CADILLAC DEALERSHIP NEARBY I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE DIFFERENTIAL PINION/ BUSHINGS ALL THE FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT AND WHEN THE TECH SHOWED ME WHAT HAPPEN ALL BOLTS WERE MISSING THAT SUPPOSE TO HOLD PARTS TOGETHER. SO, I ASKED DOES THAT HAPPEN OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND HE TOLD ME NO IT DOESN'T AND HES NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE. SO, NOW I AM VERY SUSPICIOUS, CONFUSED AND ANGRY. THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST $3,000, THEY SAID WITH NO WAY AROUND IT, I DID BUY THE CAR USED BUT I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND/OR DEALER. THERE WERE OTHER ISSUES THAT I HAD WITH THE SUV THAT WAS TAKEN CAREOF, THEY CALLED IT SPECIAL CODES BUT THEY LEFT THIS ONE OUT. PLEASE HELP, I HAVE ELDERLY CLIENTS/FAMILY/ FRIENDS THAT I CARE FOR ON A DAILY BASIS AND I NEED MY SUV. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY OR TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT MY 2006 CADILLAC SRX TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES AND ALMOST STOPS MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CADILLAC TO A LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP (DALE EARNHARDT CHEVROLET) IN NEWTON NC. ON MY FIRST VISIT TO THE DEALER THEY FOUND A MULTIPLE MISFIRE (CODE P300) AND A FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR (CODE P0521 & CODE P0523). I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE MISFIRE WAS CAUSING THE TRACTION CONTROL TO ENGAGE, SO THEY CHANGED ALL THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHANGED THE FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CADILLAC FROM THEM AND DROVE IT HOME THE TRACTION CONTROL CONTINUED TO ENGAGE SEVERAL TIMES. I RETURNED MY CADILLAC FOR THE SECOND TIME TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THEY SCANNED THE VEHICLE COMPUTER FOR CODES AGAIN BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING THAT THE VEHICLE DOES. I RETURNED HOME WITH MY CADILLAC AND DROVE IT FOR SEVERAL MORE DAYS. THE TRACTION CONTROL CONTINUED TO ENGAGE AND WHEN MY FAMILY WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN ANOTHER CRASH I TOOK IT BACK TO DALE EARNHARDT CHEVROLET FOR THE THIRD TIME. THEY TEST DROVE IT AGAIN BUT STILL THEY COULDN'T GET THE TRACTION CONTROL TO ENGAGE. THEY CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS THIS TIME. GENERAL MOTORS TOLD THEM TO UPDATE THE PCM AND APPLY DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE EBCM CONNECTORS AND CLEAN THE TERMINALS AND TEST DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP COMPLETED THE WORK AND TEST DROVE IT FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CADILLAC THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING SHOULD BE OK NOW. ON MY HOME THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES. THAT WAS ON 07/21/2014. I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO 1,000 DOLLARS ON THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T THINK THE VEHICLE IS SAVE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO DRIVE ANYMORE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NOW. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BEGINNING IN MAY OF 2013, THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL BULB HAS CONTINUALLY BLOWN.......5 INSTANCES INCLUDING THE TIME RIGHT NOW THAT WE ARE HAVING REPAIRED TOMORROW. JUST THE RIGHT FRONT LIGHT!! THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN NO RECALL ASSIGNED, NOR HAS GM MENTIONED IT ANYWHERE AS AN ISSUE. FIRST INSTANCE 5-27-2013, THEN 8-23-2013, THEN 2-22-2014, THE 4TH TIME WE HAD THEM REPLACE THE PIGTAIL IN ADDITION TO THE BULB, AND AS I MENTIONED WE TAKE THE CAR IN TOMORROW AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, NOT ONLY AS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD OR SAFETY CONCERN, BUT AS AN ECONOMIC BURDEN ON THE CONSUMER.........TO REPLACE A $6.00 TURN SIGNAL BULB, THE FRONT BUMPER MUST BE REMOVED WHICH COMES AT A COST RANGING FROM $200 TO $400 EACH TIME THERE'S AN ISSUE. WHO THOUGHT OF THAT DESIGN!! I GOOGLED THE ISSUE "2006 CADILLAC SRX RIGHT TURN SIGNAL" AND AT THE FOLLOWING SITE, I FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM AND WHO HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE: HTTP://REPAIRPAL.COM/FAILURE-OF-FRONT-TURN-SIGNAL-AND-DRL-BULBS-072 IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT SITUATION, IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE SPARKS AND GAS BURNING ENGINES DON'T GO WELL TOGETHER!! *TR

AIR BAGS
MY WIFE'S 2006 CADILLAC SRX STEERING WHEEL MODULE INFLATABLE COVER IS STICKY. ONCE YOU TOUCH IT WITH YOUR FINGER IT BECOMES ATTACH TO THE STEERING WHEEL COVER. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2001 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ODI CONFIRMATION NUMBER 10585936. I BELIEVE THIS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT AFFECTS STEERING OF THE VEHICLE AND INFLATABLE AIR RESTRAINT SYSTEM. *TR

ENGINE
THERE IS A P008 CODE THAT ONSTAR DETECTED AND SAID I MAY HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS. THIS WOULD ENABLE THE CAR TO HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AND DOES NOT WANT TO REPAIR MY CAR WHICH I THINK THEY SHOULD BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH A CAR THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES YET. *JS
