Loved this car until during a low speed right turn the stability control ENGAGED and almost yanked me into a oncoming lane of traffic!!
We live in Wyoming and these saftey features were a huge part or our reasoning for our purchase of the SRX
i own a srx 06 service stability system start to show on about a month ago and speed slow down asometimes I took it to Cadillac and it will cost more than $500 to change the sensor why we should pay so much if there's obviously a recall problem? and I read many people that fixed had the problem again or worst I have to drive tomorrow to Miami (3 hrs) and I will use my sisters car cause I scare to use my cad All this is ridiculous How can we make GM to take responsibility and recall the problem ?
Add me to the list of getting the message "Check Stability System". I own an SRX 2004 AWD V8. It has less than 80,000 miles, bought the car brand new. Total lemon, I would never buy another Cadillac, or GM. So many problems with this car, and this is the latest one.
i have a 2004 model Cadillac srx.ideal rpm some time very high some time very low.i tried with changing plugs and air filter.same condition.any body can help me??
Add me to the list of getting the message "Check Stability System". I own an SRX 2004 V6. It has 70,000 miles. I have had the problem for about a year. It gradually went from a warning to warning and applying the brakes. Very scary. Dealer says he can't fix without a hard code. All I get is intermittent warnings. I now shut it off every time we drive it.
If the intermittent occurrences are frequent enough, then the dealer can certainly drive the car with diagnostic equipment attached.
C0242 - Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Indicated TCS Malfunction
C0252 - Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) Sensors Uncorrelated
C0460 - Steering Position Sensor
C0461 - Steering Position Sensor Range Performance
U1016 - Lost Communications With ECM/PCM/VCM
I'll also mention that my steering wheel has made that squeak that some people are referring to, like something is rubbing somewhere inside the column. It's been doing that for a couple years probably.
And also, I broke that plastic shield that goes under the front bumper a couple years ago and forgot to order a new one. Now water and salt are getting up there which is where the module is that controls all the abs sensors (from what the tech described). I'm not sure if that's what's causing all this since it is wet when this occurs.
The regular shop said this was above their head and I dropped it off at my dealer. Hopefully tomorrow I'll hear the diagnosis.
Despite everyone's complaints, I will say that I absolutely love this vehicle and will keep it until it is totalled or totally rusts through. I've had it for 5 years, 50,000 miles and I've never had a major issue. The only other problem I ever had was a broken axle which was 100% my fault as I drove with a warped rotor on that axle for 6 months before I got around to fixing it.
Whenever you own a fancy, complicated vehicle like this, there is the potential for complicated problems. That said, the only other problem I have is that my giant sunroof no longer works (makes clunking noise if I try to open it and I'm not stupid enough to risk it) and it's an expensive fix.
Has anyone found that did not work or is there another potential remedy?
Why has GM not issued a recall for this as it appears to be a common problem?
I as well own a 2011 Cadillac SRX premium, I had my car parked got in it, turned it on it was in park but I felt it try to lunge forward and started shaking, the Service Stabilitrak light along with a wrench illuminated, I put my car into drive and it would hardly go like it had very little power, I was only about 2 blocks from home, got here and parked it.
This is where my story is different, I actually have a friend who is a master tech at one of the Cadi dealerships, he has helped me out in the past and saved me a fortune, I immediately called him and asked him to come look at my car, he brought his code reader from work and hooked it up. The code said it was a bad right front hub, he agreed to fix it for me, this is where it gets weird, he texted me today and said I have nothing to worry about and sent this, "So there is a service bulletin that came out in may addressing false speed sensor codes on the 2010 11 srx. Its software related. Don't sweat it. Your car is fine." I replied back that NO my car is not fine and told him I had searched everywhere to find and read this service bulletin only for him to respond with this, "They are not for public consumption. It is an internal engineering issue." So it appears GM is also lying to the people who work for them and work on our cars. I'm beyond disgusted with GM and the mods on this board, YOU all know this is a serious problem, this thread goes back at least 7 years when will GM step up and make this right?
Obviously, GM has failed their responsibility to issue a recall to correct the problem. I guess they're waiting for a few fatalities before they spend some of the money they ripped off from their customers. Disgusting!!
Gas gauge does not work so I have to calculate how much gas is in my car I ran out of gas a couple times on the road so now I travel with a gas can
sunroof does not work hatch does not work won't open and is it possible to manually open it. rear backup lights do not work Left Driver side blinker goes out often within a couple days of being replaced and it cost me $65 to do do
Theft system light is on along with theft system alert which is on repeatedly
Check engine light has been on since I bought the car as is, I was walking to work for 6 months and saved up money for a car and this was the only car and they had at the time and I needed it because I was staying sick walking to work in three feet of snow everyday
there is also an exhaust leak that sounds like the muffler has a crack in the cadalic converter or such
I would love nothing more than to push it off a cliff ir into a pond and walk away
I am also a writer in which I write reviews, my reviews have received over 35,000 viewers I will be writing a review on this brand of car and GM needs to be put out of business for stiffing people
