2006 Cadillac SRX 4-DR. w/SAB

2006 Cadillac SRX turn signals burn out within months or replacement. I made 2 videos of me fixing it, put on YouTube with over 35, 000 views. That must mean there are lots of folks with this problem that don't know where to report it. While driving, the indicator flashes a bit faster than it should - the only clue it isn't working. You think other drivers know your intentions and they don't. This is dangerous. Mechanics have to pull the bumper, a bit of work, and want over $300 to change the bulb. Over and over again. This is the 5th time in 3 years. 2nd problem is the "Stability System" - well, I'm not driving on ice, have never needed such a thing. This one nearly cause me to crash into a curb or parked car as I was making a left hand turn in our residential neighborhood at what 15 mph? Suddenly the wheel locked, tires locked and sent me screeching dangerously close to that parked car. It does have a warning, "Service Stability System" but the dealer will want a lot for that, too. So I've resorted to pushing the Disable button on the console until it says, "Stability System Off" then I can drive safely. I have not had this inspected. Everything that gets fixed on this Cadillac seems to break again.

POWER TRAIN AXLE IS NOT RIGHT REAR DIFFERENTIAL ETC WHEEELS AND RIM GET STUCK WHEN TURNNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT KEY RING LOCKS OR GET STUCK. SHOCKS AND STABITLTY LIGT COMES ON SAYING IT NEEDS FIXING AND TIRE SENSOR

WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR THE GAS GAUGE AND THE TEMP GAUGE DO NOT MOVE. THE SECURITY AND NO TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR ON THE STREET STEERING IS SLUGGISH, THE TRANS RPMS ARE HIGH, SOMETIMES THE CAR GOES TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. ON THE RADIO THERE IT READS ANTI THEFT SYSTEM HIT BUTTON TO CLEAR. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION AND I HAVE TO USE SCREWDRIVER TO PUSH A BUTTON IN STEERING COLUMN TO RELEASE IT. ONE WEEK EVERYTHING WORKED GREAT, NO WARNING LIGHTS, GAUGES WORKED, NO HIGH RPMS ON TRANS AND STEERING WAS FINE AND THE KEY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND NOTHING ON RADIO ABOUT ANTI THEFT SYS. BUT EVERYTHING IS NOT WORKING AGAIN AND NOW ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

GAS GAGE, TEMP GAGE DOESN'T LIGHT UP, POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK, TAIL GATE WON'T OPEN, T/C LIGHT STAYS ON, LOCK LIGHT STAYS ON IGNITION GETTING HARD TO TURN KEY OFF, CAR STALLED. 2006 CADILLAC SRX. WHEN TURNING IGNITION ON. IT WORKS SOME TIME WHEN WEATHER IS COLD, WHEN IT WARMS UP IT QUITS WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND FAILED TO MOVE. ALSO, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED VAL WARD CADILLAC (12626 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, FORT MYERS, FL 33907, (239) 245-9308). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE TRANSFER CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

VEHICLE STUTTERS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO TURN OFF OR THE WHEELS ARE CATCHING ON SOMETHING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN FIRST PULLING OUT AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING. MOSTLY HAPPENS AFTER MAKING A U TURN. (DOES NOT MATTER IF THE TURN IS TIGHT OR NOT). CAR HESITATES AND THEN STRAIGHTENS ITSELF OUT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HARD TO FIGURE OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD PULLED INTO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF A BIG TRUCK IF THERE HADN'T BEEN A TURN LANE FOR ME TO GET INTO HE WOULD HAVE RUN ME OVER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3-4 MONTHS NOT. THE STABILITY CONTROL SERVICE JUST CAME UP TODAY. THERE ARE NOT WARNINGS OTHERWISE.

"TAKATA RECALL" CHANGE OIL LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY EVEN AFTER OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED AND CANNOT RESET. AIRBAG LIGHT ON ALSO BOTH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON WHEN CRANKING AND WHILE DRIVING. MY TRACTION ENGAGES WHEN EMERGING TO TURN ON TO INCOMING TRAFFIC THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. MY CONCERN IS THE ROADS ARE NOT WET OR SLIPPERY FOR THE TRACTION TO ENGAGE AND THAT'S A SAFETY CONCERN , IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY AIRBAG LIGHT JUST RECENTLY STARTED COMING ON AND READING THE OWNER'S MANUAL. IT WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF I HAD AN IMPACT IT WON'T DEPLOY OR WHILE DRIVING IT COULD DEPLOY. I'VE HEARD THAT CADILLAC HAS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINED OF THESE PROBLEMS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOME PEOPLE LIKE ME OR NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PAY $100 PLUS DOLLARS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AND I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.

ABOUT 3YEARS AGO THE DRYSHAFT WENT BAD ON MY 2006 SRX.I ASKED THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE MANAGER WAS IT A RECALL ON THE PART AND HE SAID "NO."I SEARCH FOR MONTHS AFTER DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE BAD RIDE FROM THE BAD PART AND BEING LIMITED FOR OVER 2YRS WITH NOT KNOWING, I FINALLY GOT A USED DRYSHAFT FOR MY CAR AND NOW ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER ON WEDNESDAY 8/8/18, I PULL OFF AT THE LIGHT AND IT FEELS LIGHT SOMETHING KNOCK SOMETHING UNDERNEATH MY CAR.I GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS LOUD NOISE HAPPENS. THE NEXT DAY I TAKE IT TO MEINEKE AND THIS ONE IS GONE BAD. I SEARCH THE NET ON RECALLS FOR MY CAR AND THERE IT IS.NOW THE DEALERSHIP IN MY STATE IS TELLING ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE BECAUSE IT ALREADY HAD THE RECALL DONE BEFORE I PURCHASED IT IN 2008.ITS THE SAME PART THAT GOES BAD ON THE CAR AND ITS STILL GOING BAD. ITS YOUR RECALL PART PERIOD. PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU WILL REPLACE IT.PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP! THANK YOU

OCCASIONALLY, THE BATTERY HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ALSO FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. DURING THE MOST RECENT FAILURE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE'S MOTOR FAILED TO STOP RUNNING AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. DIRECTLY AFTER THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WAS SHUT OFF ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A NOISE THAT CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD THAT SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM A SECONDARY MOTOR WITHIN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A CADILLAC SRX 2006 WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE AND THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN SETUP AS WELL AS THE VEHICLES HEAD LIGHTING ERRORS, FROM MY RESEARCH THIS IS DEFINITELY A FAULT FROM THE COMPANY DESIGN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY OR EVEN DEATH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE "TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED " WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY WENT INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MODE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT FELT AS IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC AND THE STEERING ANGLE POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HIT A CURB AND DROVE INTO A BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,814. UPDATED 10/26/16*LJ *TR

RANDOM TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGEMENT AND STABILITY SYSTEM BOTH NOTED IN RADIO -- BUT NO CONDITIONS TO WARRANT IT AND NO CODES TO EXPLAIN IT--WHEN CHECKED NOTHING FOUND. CAUSES DANGEROUS UNEXPECTED SLOWING OF VEHICLE BOTH AT INITIAL ACCELERATION AND TURNING WHICH IS CONTRARY TO WHAT WOULD BE EXPECTED BY SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. THEN SLUGGISH W DECELERATION BUT NO CHECK LIGHT AND MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE. NOW WILL ONLY DRIVE FORWARD, CAN'T DRIVE OR EVEN PUSH IN REVERSE. THIS EVENT WAS PRECEDED BY LOSS OF ACCELERATION ON HIGHWAY (SLUGGISH) -- ALSO DANGEROUS AND STILL NI ENGINE LIGHT!

WHILE DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED THE CAR TRACKING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS IN THE MEDIUM OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE MORE I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN AT A STOP SIGN GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE OR NOT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME AND I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE CONTACT STRUCK A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKE PEDAL SEIZED. THE SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ONE OTHER OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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!

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

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED OUT FROM STEERING RACK. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED FOR $950 DOLLARS. ONE YEAR LATER RACK REPLACED AGAIN UNDER MECHANICS WARRANTY. POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED BECAUSE IN WAS RUN WHILE LOW ON FLUID DUE TO STEERING RACK LEAK FOR $450 DOLLARS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

THE 3.6L MOTOR LEAKS SO MUCH OIL THAT WHEN IT GETS LOW IT CREATES A MISFIRE CONDITION AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE MISFIRE LIGHT TO COME ON AND POWER LOSS TO HAPPEN. CHECK YOUR OIL OFTEN!!!! *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIMING CHAINS, SPROCKETS, ACTUATORS, GUIDES, TENSIONER ALL MAJOR ENGINES PARTS NEEDING REPLACEMENT ON A CADILLAC WELL CARED FOR AT BARELY 100K. CONTACTED GM, GAVE RUN AROUND FOR WEEKS AND DENY THE FACT THAT THERE IS PREMATURE ENGINE WEARING ISSUES W NO COMPENSATION ON THESE 40K CARS, THEY CREATED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE SAME ISSUES ON SAME ENGINES IN DIFFERENT YR MODEL CARS AND SAME EXACT MODEL AS WELL. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

2006 CADILLAC SRX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POWER BRAKE, ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING ISSUE.* LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE CUT OFF THREE TIMES. *JB

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

AIR CONDITIONER FROZE UP AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. *TR

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

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

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

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

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

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. A CODE SCAN SHOWS A SINGLE ERROR CODE P0008, WHICH INDICATES AN ELONGATION OF TIMING CHAINS. THE REPAIR COST IS ESTIMATED AT $1800 LEVEL. I BOUGHT IT AS A GM PEP CAR, AND SINCE KEEP A GOOD RECORD OF MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGES) AT THE DEALER. THERE IS NEVER AN ACCIDENT INVOLVED. *JB

POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK ON DRIVEWAY. WE KNEW WHAT IT WAS BECAUSE OUR OTHER SRX HAD BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. TOOK INTO GMC SERVICE 3 OR 4 TIMES TO HAVE SEALS REPLACED. BOTH OF OUR 2006 SRX'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE KEEP STEERING FLUID IN OUR HOUSE JUST IN CASE WE NEED IT. *TR

HIGH PITCHED NOISE WHEN CAR WAS STARTED THEN WHINING NOISE. TOOK CAR TO JEFF SCHMITT CADILLAC SAID POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW. SAID NO LEAKS FLUID FOUND ON DRIVEWAY. TOOK CAR IN TO REICHARD GMC THREE TIMES TO HAVE SEALS REPLACED BECAUSE OF LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID. *TR

THE ENTIRE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY FLEW OFF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. *TR

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT WOULD ALSO STAY OFF FOR A DAY OR TWO. AS IT STARTED STAYING ON FOR LONGER PERIODS, I TOOK IT TO COX CHEVROLET, BRADENTON, FL, WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT. AFTER CHARGING ME $110.00 USING "EVIDENCE BASED" METHODS TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR/ CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD, AND WOULD COST AN ADDITIONAL $600.00 TO REPAIR. THEY LEFT THE BACKING OFF THE PASSENGER SEAT, LYING ON THE REAR SEAT. THEY SAID IT WAS THE PASSENGER SEAT MODULE THAT WAS BAD. I THOUGHT IT STRANGE, SINCE THE SEAT IS ONLY RARELY OCCUPIED. IT ALSO SURPRISED ME WHEN THEY TOLD ME THE WHOLE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE, UNTIL I REPLACED THE MODULE. IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT A BAD MODULE, IN AN UNUSED SEAT, WOULD SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE SYSTEM. THEY KNEW RIGHT WHERE TO LOOK, OBVIOUSLY. I CHECKED FOR ISSUES WITH 2006 CADILLACS, AND FOUND RECALL #84734 AIRBAGS FRONTAL SENSOR / CONTROL MODULE FOR THE 2005-2007 CTS-V CADILLAC. SAME ISSUE, SAME SENSOR? I AM CONCERNED THAT POOR QUALITY PARTS THAT ARE CONTROLLING MAJOR SAFETY FEATURES, IS ENDANGERING MY FAMILY, EVERY TIME I USE THIS PRODUCT, AND WONDER IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE. *TR

MY 2006 CADILLAC SRX HAS A VERY HARD START UP AND ENGINE IS VERY LOUD WAS STARTING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED AND RETURN CODES ARE P0008 AND P0017. GM KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES AND FAILS TO PLACE A RECALL OUT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I BUY NOTHING BUT CADILLACS BUT I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS ISSUE!!!! I THINK GM REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS!!!!!! *TR

TIMING CHAINS! CAR WAS PARKED, AND WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS TIMING CHAINS AND $2800.00. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, FOUND THAT 2004 - 2006 MODELS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE OIL GETTING TO THE CHAINS PROPERLY, BECAUSE THE HOLE IS TOO SMALL TO LUBRICATE CHAINS. I BUY HIGH END CARS AND TAKE CARE OF THEM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A TIMING CHAIN HAS EVER GONE OUT ON ANY OF MY VEHICLES. (BEEN DRIVING 40 SOME YEARS) A MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE OF THEM. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS. ANOTHER PERSON THAT I KNOW OF HAD THEIR 2004 CTS TIMING CHAINS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND IT BLEW THE ENGINE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING, THE REDUCED POWER TO ENGINE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY REDUCED SPEED TO 20 MPH, ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN RESET ITSELF AND RESUME NORMALLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR LOCATE THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

AFTER TWO SEASONS OF NORMAL USE THE ULTRAVIEW SUNROOF LEFT BRACKET WHICH OPENS AND CLOSES THE ROOF HAS SOMEHOW BECOME LOOSE OR HAS CRACKED AND DOES NOT HOLD THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROOF DOWN. WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH OR MORE AIR CAN BE HEARD COMING INTO THE CAR AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROOF CAN BE SEEN SLIGHTLY LIFTING. *TR

THE TIMING CHAIN/BELT IN 2006 CADILLAC SRX IS DEFECTIVE. IT COULD BE THE CRANK SHAFT RUBBING ON THE TIMING CHAIN. I CALLED GM THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2007 - 2010 THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS HOW LONG DO I EXPECT GM TO OWN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKE TO SEVERAL CAR DEALERS WHO TELL ME THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND FIXING IT WILL NOT STOP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. THE ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALER IS $3500.00 I AM VERY UPSET OVER THIS. *TR

2006 CADILLAC SRX 5DOOR THE PROBLEM THAT I AM REPORTING IS THAT THE FRONT R AND FRONT L SIDE TURNING / LANE CHANGING LIGHT/INDICATORS DO NOT ILLUMINATE FOR PURPOSE OF TURNING/ LANE CHANGING INDICATIONS. IF NEIGHBORING LANE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE REAR TAIL LIGHT INDICATOR, THAT SIDE TRAVELING VEHICLE HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING THE CADILLAC'S DIRECTIONAL INTENTIONS. THE LACK OF KNOWING THE CADILLAC'S DIRECTIONAL INTENTIONS SHALL RESULT IN HIGHWAY /EXPRESSWAY COLLISIONS! THIS IS MORE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS TO THE CADILLAC'S NEIGHBOR LANE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IF IT IS IN THE CADILLAC'S BLIND SPOT. THE FACTORY MARKETED FRONT SIDE LIGHT, AMBER/ORANGE IN COLOR, JUST COMES ON FOR MARKER LAMP ONLY. THIS MARKER LIGHT DOES NOT BLINK OR FLASH TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE DEADLY CRASH!!! FOR A FACTORY RECALL, IT WOULD BE COST EFFICIENT TO REROUTE SMALL SEGMENT OF BODY ILLUMINATION HARNESS, VERSES THE NIGHTMARE OF HIGHWAY CRASH DEATHS AND THE ENDLESS LAWSUITS........ *TR

CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY, LOUD ENGINE NOISE, LURCHING FORWARD WHILE STOPPED, WHEN DRIVING CAR SHAKES, VEHICLE IS HESITATING RIDE NOT SMOOTH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. ALSO LEFT TURN SIGNAL FLASHES TOO FAST. 2006 SRX TIMING CHAIN AND RELATED COMPONENTS REPLACED 07/09 AND AGAIN 01/11. REPLACED LEFT TURN SIGNAL BULB AND SOCKET. NO EXPLANATION GIVEN AS TO WHY EITHER OCCURRED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE TURNING LEFT AT 2 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT REMOVED HIS FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND HE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,500.

2006 CADILLAC SRX WAS RUNNING PERFECT WITH NO "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT", CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF A 2 LANE ROAD. COULD NOT RESTART. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER TOLD ME TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND THE GEARS ATTACHED TO THE MOTOR BROKE. END RESULT WAS A COMPLETELY NEW MOTOR AT 7000 DOLLARS. *TR

WE OWN A 2006 CADILLAC SRX AWD THAT IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL. PRETTY REGULARLY, WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. YOU CAN BE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN IT HAPPENS OR JUST PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE RADIO ALERT WILL READ "TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED". YOU HAVE TO REACH OVER AND HIT THE CLEAR BUTTON TO GET IT TO STOP. WHEN IT HAPPENS, YOU LOSE POWER. IF YOU ARE IN AN INTERSECTION, YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL & FAST OR YOU WILL GET HIT. IT'S VERY SCARY. WE HAD A MECHANIC CHECK THE CODES IN THE COMPUTER AND IT HAD THESE CODES: C0046: LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED CIRCUIT, C0228: LEFT REAR ABS CHANNEL IN RELEASE TOO LONG AND A TRANSMISSION CODE: P1793- WHEEL SPEED SIGNAL MALFUNCTION. BECAUSE OF THESE CODES, THE MECHANIC COULDN'T TELL WHAT IS GOING ON. WHEN HE CALLED THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, HE WAS TOLD THAT WE NEEDED A REAR DRIVER HUB ASSEMBLY. WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGING. I FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM W/2006 & 2007 MODEL SRX'S. THEN I SEARCHED ONLINE & THEIR ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SOME AS EARLY AS FEB. 2006. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH IF NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALERS SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT IS & SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES TO REPAIR THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE FAULTY FROM THE START. I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. JUST SEARCH ONLINE & YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. THAT'S JUST THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO COMPLAIN. THANK YOU *TR

WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON MY 2006 CADILLAC SRX THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES AND THE RADIO DISPLAYS TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT HAPPENS ON TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT, WHEN TURNING, GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS AND ALWAYS AT LOW SPEED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY CAN ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM IF THE CAN DUPLICATE IT. I HAVE HAD 2 INSTANCES WHERE IS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED FOR NO REASON AND I ALMOST WAS BROADSIDED BY ANOTHER CAR. I LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR OF MY 2006 CADILLAC SRX, THERE IS NO RESPONSE. THE TRACTION CONTROL MONITOR LIGHTS UP ON THE RADIO SUGGESTING AN ISSUE. UPON LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND DEPRESSING AGAIN THE ENGINE IS VERY SLUGGISH AND PUTS ALL DRIVING AND IN THE CAR AT POTENTIAL RISK FOR A COLLISION. THE RADIO ALSO LIGHTS UP SHOWING THAT THE CARS SPEED IS LIMITED TO 80MPH. THE CONDITION OCCURS IN ALL SEASONS AND ALL WEATHER AND IS VERY RANDOM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS TIME, AGAIN THE DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION AND IS ATTEMPTING TO FIX THE REPORTED CONDITION BY USING A DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT ON THE WIRING CONNECTIONS. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO GO AWAY FOR AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME BY TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT. I FEEL AS IF EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE I'M PUTTING MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AT RISK IN THE EVENT THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR TURN. *TR

WHEN STOPPING, THEN STARTING UP (WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, LIKE AT A STOP SIGN) THE 2006 CADILLAC SRX WILL OFTEN FAIL TO MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED AND THE 'TRACTION CONTROL' INDICATION LIGHTS UP ON THE RADIO. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING WITHOUT STOPPING. IT HAPPENS ON LEVEL GROUND AND WHEN GOING UP INCLINES. IT MAKES A GRINDING SOUND (LIKE WHEN GEARS ARE RAKED IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION.) BY LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THEN RE-APPLYING IT, THE CAR WILL MOVE, BUT THE HESITATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR DURING ONE OF THESE EPISODES, THE CAR WILL VERY SLOWLY BEGIN TO MOVE AND EVENTUALLY ACCELERATE NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS ON WET OR DRY PAVEMENT, WITH NO REASON FOR LOSS OF TRACTION. 'TURNING OFF' THE TRACTION CONTROL FEATURE BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE CONSOLE DOES NOT ALWAYS PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE DEALER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR SOLVE THE DEFECT. I PUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AT RISK WITH EVERY MILE THAT I DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. IN DECEMBER OF 2008, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD METAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ON MARCH 11, 2009. TWO DAYS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM WAS GIVING INCORRECT SIGNALS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE DEALER THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GUAGE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SIPHON JET PUNP WAS CLOGGED WHICH WAS CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF. THERE WAS ALSO A BRAKE PROBLEM. UPDATED 04/16/09. *JB

THE STRUTS ON THE VEHICLE ( FRONT) WEAR DOWN COMPLETELY TO FAST FROM PURCHASE. IT IS MORE LIKE YOU ARE OFFROADING WHILE DRIVING. CAR COMPLETELY JOSTLES YOU AROUND. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. THE CAR IS ONLY A 2006. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. *TR

AT RANDOM THE BLINKER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAIL IN MY 2006 CADILLAC SRX V6 AWD. I WAS DRIVING AND TURNED ON THE BLINKER TO MAKE A TURN AND THE BLINKER DID NOT SOUND AND DID NOT FUNCTION. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN REGULARLY IT IS A 1 IN A 100. I HAVE HAD MY CADILLAC IN TO A CADILLAC DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED AND I FEAR THAT MORE CARS MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND AN ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR. AT TIMES WHERE THE BLINKER FAILS THE RADIO ALSO MAY SKIP STATIONS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 SRX, WITH 18K MILES. MY SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 12-28-07. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY WITH NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. MY SUNSHADE WAS CLOSED DUE TO THE CONSTANT CONSUMER COMPLAINTS SO I WAS NOT HURT. AFTER PULLING OVER ON THE FREEWAY, I INSPECTED THE SUNROOF TO SEE IF SOMETHING HAD CAUSED IT TO COMPLETELY SHATTER. THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING ON THE SUNSHADE TO INDICATE WHAT HAS CAUSED IT TO SHATTER. THEY HAVE NOT SAID WHETHER IT WILL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT, BUT THEY HAVE HAD TWO OTHER SRX'S COME IN WITH THAT SAME PROBLEM JUST RECENTLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CADILLAC SRX. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE GLASS SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. THE POLICE INSPECTED THE SUNROOF AND STATED THAT THE WINDOW SHATTERED ON IT'S OWN AND WASN'T VANDALISM. THE POLICE DIDN'T FEEL THE NEED TO PROVIDE A POLICE REPORT. AN INSURANCE CLAIM WAS FILED. GENERAL MOTORS STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS THE CONTACT'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE PRICE TO REPAIR THE SUN ROOF WAS $1,300. THE PURCHASE DATE, VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 115,000.

TURNED KEY TO START TRUCK, SMOKE CAME OUT OF AC VENTS AND STEERING COLUMN, ACRID ODOR ACCOMPANIED SMOKE. SHUT KEY OFF EXITED VEHICLE, FLAMES ERUPTED IN VEHICLE, CALLED FIRE DEPT. THEY ARRIVED 20 MINUTES LATER, CAR WAS HEAVILY DAMAGED. VEHICLE TOWED TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIP. TRUCK CONSIDERED TOTAL LOSS. I SUSTAINED INJURY EXITING VEHICLE , AS I AM 7 MONTHS PREGNANT. *JB

SUNROOF HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS, THE CAR HAS HAD 7 VISITS TO THE SHOP BECAUSE OF SUNROOF PROBLEMS. I AM WAITING FOR IT TO SHATTER LIKE THE SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I AM HEARING ABOUT. I AM NERVOUS THAT MY KIDS WILL BE IN THE CAR WHEN IT DOES SHATTER. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SUNROOF SHATTERED EARLY IN THE MORNING ON SATURDAY, JULY FIRST. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE MOONROOF NOT CLOSING PROPERLY . DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR SEVEN DAYS REGARDING THE MOONROOF AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. WHEN IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THE MOONROOF, SUNROOF/TRACKS AND SIDE PANELS TO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WERE DISASSEMBLED AND REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT ON BETWEEN THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER. AFTER THE THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE SUNROOF AGAIN WITHOUT A COST. THE DEALER STATED THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A FRACTURE TO THE GLASS BY AN EXTERNAL OBJECT BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN NO PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. THE CONTACT REFERRED TO WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM WHERE THERE IS AN ARTICLE DATED JANUARY 2, 2006, STATING THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING 17 COMPLAINTS FOR THE CADILLAC SRX FROM 2004- 2006. THE ARTICLE ALSO CITES 19 INJURIES SUSTAINED DUE TO THE SUNROOF DEFECT. ON A MESSAGE BOARD OF CADILLACOWNERS.COM, A OWNER OF 2005 SRX ALSO HAD THE SUNROOF SHATTER.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING; IT FELT AS IF THE BRAKES HAD LOCKED. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS AROUND 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY, BUT THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. UPDATED 3/3/2006 - *NM UPDATED 3/9/2006 - *NM
