2004 Cadillac SRX complaints

SRX 2004 HAS ALREADY HAD TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND I AM TRYING TO GET THROTTLE BODY ALSO REPLACED AFTER THROTTLE DID NOT RESPOND AND COASTED BACKWARDS ALMOST CATCHING 3 TEENS RUNNING BETWEEN MY CAR AND ONE BEHIND ME. TRANSMISSION WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT HESITATION ON THROTTLE HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO ONE TELLING ME WHAT WAS WRONG. JUST THIS WEEK I WAS TOLD THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACED. *TR

THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX STARTED AFTER THE DEALER COMPLETED A RECALL SERVICE FOR THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM PARK PROBLEM NOW THE VEHICLE CAN BE SHIFTED FROM PARK WITH KEY IN OR OUT OF THE IGNITION, RUNNING OR NOT AND WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF THE KEY DOES NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION, NOW TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. ALSO STABILITY CONTROL MESSAGE COMES ON . I HAVE READ THAT TWO PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN ACCIDENTS ALREADY FROM STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS MALFUNCTIONING IN THE 2004 CADILLAC SRX. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ODOMETER FAILED. THE ODOMETER NO LONGER READ MILEAGES ACCURATELY AND WOULD DISPLAY READNGS VERY SLOWLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,400.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 SRX CADILLAC. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT INDICATED THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE BODY. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88, 0000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE TRIED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL IT EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE HUB BEARING WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF INTERSTATE ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE STABILITY SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY ENGAGES CAUSING THE ABS TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WILL VEER TO ONE SIDE (HAS GONE BOTH R AND L) AS THE ABS APPLIES THE BRAKES AND THE STABILITY SYSTEM ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT FOR A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT EXIST. THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE TOUCH SCREEN. ADDITIONALLY, THE STABILITY SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE (AGAIN, "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE APPEARS) WITHOUT THE ABS ENGAGING. THIS WILL OFTEN CAUSE A SLIGHT COURSE CORRECTION, BUT NO DRAMATIC VEER TO ONE SIDE. THE ABS RECENTLY ENGAGED 2 TIMES DURING A 90 MILE TRIP WITH THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGING (NO ABS) AN ADDITIONAL 6-8 TIMES. AT NO POINT WERE ROAD CONDITIONS IMPARED IN ANY WAY. WEATHER WAS MID 60S-LOW 70'S AND SUNNY. THE ISSUE OCCURED WITHOUT THE CRUSIE CONTROL ON (FIRST TIME, ABS ENGAGED) AND WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON(ABS NEVER ENGAGED). WHEN THE ABS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER ENOUGH TO MOVE PARTIALLY INTO ANOTHER LANE. HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SPEEDS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENTS VARIED FROM 55-70. *TR

DURING ROUTINE ACCELERATION THE CAR ACCELERATOR BECAME NON-FUNCTIONAL, ENGINE WENT TO IDLE, AND ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER MANUAL SHUT DOWN ENGINE RAN NORMALLY. PROBLEM WAS FAULTY CONTROL MODULE ON THROTTLE BODY. MECHANIC REPORTED THAT ON-BOARD COMPUTER AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS THE THROTTLE DOWN WHEN THIS TYPE PROBLEM IS SENSED TO AVOID DAMAGE TO ENGINE. COMPLAINT IS THAT IF THIS CONDITION OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY ENDANGERED. PROTECTION OF THE WELL-BEING OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PROTECTION OF THE ENGINE. THIS CONDITION SHOULD BE CORRECTED ON THIS MODEL AND PROHIBITED ON ALL MODELS. *TR

FRAME FAILURE. REAR SUB FRAME WAS NOT WELDED ON PROPERLY RESULTING IN THE CAR LOSING ALL DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND GOING OFF THE ROAD. COULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF SPEED WAS NOT SO LOW. CADILLAC HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX CAR DUE TO NOT HAVING PART FOR LAST 7 MONTHS. IT IS A RECALL ON THE 05 BUT NOT THE 04. GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN TELL ME THEY WILL LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE NEWS. THEY HAVE EVEN REQUESTED TO STORE THE VEHICLE AT MY RESIDENCE RATHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP AS IT HAS BEEN THERE SO LONG. I AM SO TIRED OF THIS 7 MONTH HEADACHE. PLEASE LOOK INTO EXPANDING THE RECALL ON THE 05 TO INCLUDE THE 04. IT IS THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AND IT CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS JUST DISCUSSING HOW THEY CAN FORGET TO ACTUALLY WIELD PART OF THE FRAME. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT! ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY REFUSE TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT RIGHT. THEY WILL NOT EVEN GET ME A RENTAL CAR. I HAD TO GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE THE SRX IS NOT EVEN ABLE TO BE SOLD. I'M JUST OUT OF 15K?. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE AMPLE PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTATION AND RECORDED PHONE CALLS FROM GM. I TRULY DON'T WANT TO SEE SOMEONE GET KILLED AS CAN EASILY HAPPEN. THIS IS JUST HORRIBLE NEGLIGENCE ON GM'S BEHALF. I ALSO THOUGHT THEY HAD TO CONTINUE MAKING PARTS FOR 10 YEARS BY LAW? THEY JUST RECENTLY STOPPED MAKING THIS STYLE. THEY STILL HAVE 8 YEARS LEFT BY LAW TO MAKE THE PARTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO VEER EITHER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAD IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000. UPDATED 2/23/11 *CN UPDATED 07/11/11

MY TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD UNLESS I MANUALLY DISABLE IT. THIS COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WILL BE JERKED AND PULLED EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. IT BEGAN IN JANUARY OF 2009 AND CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVEN AFTER TRYING MANY THINGS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT, CAUSING THE BRAKES TO BECOME ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE SERVICE STABILIZING SYSTEM LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME. THE CONTACT HAD TO HIT THE RESET BUTTON AND THE COMPUTER RESET ITSELF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO WORK. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE SELECTED SIGNAL DOES NOT FLASH WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED AS IF THE BULB IS BURNT OUT. WENT TO THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE BULB THREE TIMES, BUT, THE BULBS WERE GOOD. AFTER REPLACING BULB THE SIGNAL STILL DID NOT WORK. AFTER, SEVERAL WEEKS IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. A MONTH OR SO LATER THIS HAPPEN AGAIN AND TOOK TO DEALER AND AGAIN THE BULB WAS REPLACED THIS TIME THE BULB WAS BURNT OUT. THE SIGNAL WORKED FOR 2 MONTHS AND WENT OUT AGAIN. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM CAR. MY DEALER CALLS IT THE MYSTIFYING CAR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT GM WILL NOT ADMIT TO. SHAME ON GM, NO WONDER AMERICANS ARE GOING FOREIGN. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS BULB IS $85.00 EACH TIME.

MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX HAS 98000 MILES ON IT. THE SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES, EACH TIME I START THE CAR. I CLEAR THE SYSTEM AND JUST DRIVE. THE CAR SHAKES WHILE DRIVING A BIT AND DOES PULL TO THE RIGHT. I AM NOT EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS MANY OTHERS ARE FACING WITH THIS SAME WARNING, BUT FEEL I TOO WILL SOON, IT IS GETTING WORSE. I ALSO WAS FORCED TO PUT IN 89 OCTANE GAS AT A STATION THAT DIDNT HAVE SUPER, I HAD A LOW FUEL LIGHT. AFTER 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE. I CANCELLED MY TRIP AND DROVE TO MY MECHANIC. HE STATED THERE WAS A MISFIRE WHICH MAY BE FROM LOWER GRADE GAS BUT AFTER A FILL UP OF SUPER AND A FULL DAY OF DRIVING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING. BRINGING IT BACK TO GET SERVICED I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO MISFIRE, CLOGGED INJECTORS NORFAULTY PLUGS. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE ECU. THESE CARS SENSE A PROBLEM AND "SHUT OFF" THE PROBLEMATIC FULE INJECTOR. WELL MINE IS NOT PROBLEMATIC BUT THE COMPUTER SAYS IT IS!!! NOW WHAT BUY A NEW ECU!!! 149.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND OVER 500.00 FOR THE ECU NOT INCLUDING LABOR, I'M LOOKING AT A GRAND TO FIX THE PROBLEM, IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM!!! I REALLY LOVE THE STYLE AND LOOK OF THIS CAR, BUT ALL THE EXTRA CRAP IS OVERKILL. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THE STABILITY SYSTEM QUICK, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A TOYOTA SITUATION ON OUR HANDS *TR

MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGES CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. CAR VIBRATES, STEERING WHEEL STIFFENS WHERE YOU CAN NOT STEER, BRAKES ARE ENGAGED, AND SLOWS DOWN 5-10 MPH INSTANTLY CAUSING TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU TO BACK UP AND COULD RUN INTO YOU. IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN IN WET CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE CONTROL AND SPIN INTO TRAFFIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS VERY SCARY. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY FIVE MILES AND STABILITY CONTROL MUST BE DISENGAGED TO PREVENT FROM HAPPENING. *TR

WHEN MAKING A TURN, GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP OR TAKING A SHARP TURN THE TRACTION ENGAGEMENT SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL STOP ACCELERATING. *TR

WE PURCHASED A SET OF FOUR TIRES FROM THE SAME COMPANY ON THE SAME DAY THEY WERE PUT ON. THE MANUFACTURER IS GENERAL, P255/60R17 WHICH ARE THE REAR TIRES FOR A CADILLAC SRX 2004. BOTH TIRES WERE THE SAME, ONE CURRENTLY HAS THE BELTS SHOWING ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE, THE OTHER IS FINE. THE PEOPLE WHO SOLD THEM TO US SAID THE WARRANTY IS NOT VALID BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ROTATED. THEY SAID SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN WE WANTED THEM ROTATED, THAT THEY COULDN'T DO THAT, BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT SIZES, WE ASKED FOR THEM TO BE ROTATED FROM SIDE TO SIDE, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE FOR THIS, THEY NO LONGER SELL THIS BRAND OF TIRE. THE TIRES ONLY HAVE 23,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN THIS PAST MONDAY OCT. 11, 2010. THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL WEAR FOR THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. IT IS ABNORMAL TO ME BECAUSE OF THE UNEVEN WEAR..... WHAT ARE WE TO DO? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE PCM WAS REPAIRED. AFTER 2,000 MILES, THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. A FEW DAYS AGO THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE STARTED APPEARING ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. IT IS OCCURRING SEVERAL TIMES AS I DRIVE. THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN MAKES A NOISE AND JERKS AND THE MESSAGE FLASHES. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND GENERAL ROADS. IT'S SCARY AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN THE CAR WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

MY REAR SUBFRAME CAME UN-WELDED. CAR LOST ABILITY TO CONTROL DIRECTION DUE TO REAR WHEEL POINTING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODEL BUT NOT YET FOR THE 2004 MODEL. *TR

2004 CADILLAC SRX HAS "SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL" MESSAGE COME UP AND READING SEVERAL FORUMS, SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THE CONDITION GETS WORSE TO THE POINT OF ENDANGERING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE START GETTING INJURED. ALSO KEEP GETTING "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" WARNING WITHOUT THE TIRES BEING LOW. *TR

STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS KICKS IN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO AND THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. PROBLEM HAS STARTED AGAIN. HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM. *TR

TURN SIGNAL/DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS BURN OUT EVERY OTHER MONTH. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BULB AND SOCKET ON BOTH SIDES 6 SEPARATE TIMES. *TR

WE HAVE OWNED A 2004 CADILLAC SRX FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN GIVING US AN ERROR CODE SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM. I TOOK IN INTO MY LOCAL MECHANIC BUT HE SAID I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BUT SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE MAC SENSOR. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE DEALER KEN BATCHELLOR IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. IN THE MEAN TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AND THE CAR WAS STARTING TO LOCK UP ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE ERROR CODE CAME ON. THIS WAS TRULY A FRIGHTENING AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE ONLY WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE SITUATION WAS TO STOP THE VEHICLE TURN IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SAME THINGS AS THE MY MECHANIC AND A FEW OTHER THINGS AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. I TOOK IT HOME AND IMMEDIATELY THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. HE REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND SAID THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER PAYING MY MECHANIC $540, THE DEALER $1700, I WAS NOT WILLING TO SPEND THE $1800 FOR THE SENSOR. I FEEL ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND GM SHOULD HAVE TO REIMBURSE THOSE OF US THAT HAVE SPENT MONEY BECAUSE THE DEALERS SAY THERE IS NO COVERAGE. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE MANY BLOGS ONLINE SUCH AS WWW.EDMONDS.COM AND ABOUT AUTOMOBILE.COM TO SEE HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE THIS IS AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS SITUATI

ELECTRICAL STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED & ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *TR

DRIVING TO NORMAN OKLAHOMA FROM FLOWER MOUND TX. IN 2004 CADILLAC SRX. STABILITY SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON MULTIPLE TIMES. ABOUT AN HOUR INTO TRIP SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM MESSAGE COMES ON. GOT OUT BOOK SAID TO GET TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. CALL DEALER AND HE SAID NOT TO WORRY BUT AFTER READING OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AND A COUPLE OF TIMES, IT FELT LIKE WHEELS WERE LOCKING UP AND THAT I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. LOOKS LIKE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK IN TO THIS PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON PERIODICALLY FOR THE PAST MONTH BUT JUST IN TOWN DRIVING. I WAS VERY CONCERNED YESTERDAY AS AT TIMES IT FELT THAT I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL OF WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS DOING. I WILL BE REPORTING TO GM ON MONDAY AND TAKING MY CAR TO DEALER BUT IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP ARE UNSURE OF PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE TELLING CUSTOMERS NOT TO WORRY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SRX THAT CONTINUALLY GIVES ME A "STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGED" ON THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM SCREEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BRAKES START TO LOCK. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2004. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT AND SUGGESTED I GET NEW TIRES THAT CAME FROM GM BACK ON THE CAR INSTEAD OF THE TIRES I HAVE NOW THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE CAR FOR A YEAR. IF THE TIRES WERE A PROBLEM, IT SHOULD HAVE STARTED A YEAR AGO WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES REBALANCED AND PROPER AIR PUT IN THEM AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL TIRE EXPERTS AND NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD THAT YOU CAN ONLY PUT ONE TYPE OF TIRE ON THE CADILLAC'S. I PUT THE SAME SIZE JUST A DIFFERENT BRAND TO QUITE THE ROAD NOISE IN THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TURN TO AT THIS POINT. IT MAKES IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING A CAR WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS WILL ENGAGE AND MAKE THE CAR FEEL UNSTABLE. I'M AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT AT THIS TIME AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR. *TR

KEY STUCK IN IGNITION, ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WITH OUT APPLYING THE BRAKE FIRST. WITH ENGINE OFF CAN SHIFT FROM PARK. THE CAR WAS SERVICE THRU A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY 2010. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY SPUN OUT OF CONTROL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO THE GRASS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A PARTIAL DETACHMENT OF THE SUBFRAME CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE OR MISSING FRAME WELDS. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V125000 (SUSPENSION: REAR) FOR THE 2005 CADILLAC SRX MODEL. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. HE EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL FAILURES AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,345.

CADILLAC SRX 2004, THE STABILIZER KEEPS ENGAGING AND WHEN IT ENGAGES, IT JERKS THE CAR, IT MAKES THE CAR SWERVE. IT ENGAGES WITHOUT NOTICE AND IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IT ENGAGES, YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN BRAKING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND HESITATE TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY TWICE, THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED AND THE BODY GASKET WAS ALSO REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THE CONTACT BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,815. UPDATED 11/15/10 *CN UPDATED 11/24/10

WENT THROUGH THE CAR WASH. DURING FINAL STAGE (WIND TO BLOW OFF MOISTURE) WINDSHIELD HEADER FLEW OFF CAR. AFTER INSPECTION IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE ONLY METHOD OF ATTACHMENT TO THE VEHICLE WAS DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE LOCATION OF THE PIECE WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF WIND (FRONT OF ROOF). *TR

STABILIZING SYSTEM ENGAGED CONTINUALLY CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND STRANGE GRINDING NOISE IF ATTEMPT TO STOP. HAPPENS DAILY, AT DEALER NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG, BUT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2004 V8 AWD CADILLAC SRX SOON AFTER WE GOT IT THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM BEGAN TO COME ON. IT HAS CAUSED US TO JERK THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS B/C IT CAME ON AND PULLED THE CAR TO THE OPPOSITE WAY. WHEN WE BRAKE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND IS HARD FOR US TO CONTROL CAUSING US TO ALMOST RUNNING INTO OTHER VEHICLES. DURING THIS TIME BOTH MY RIGHT AND LEFT REAR HUB ASSEMBLIES WENT OUT WE BELIEVE THE SYSTEM TURNING ON AND OFF CAUSED THIS. WE HAVE HAD BOTH HUB ASSEMBLIES REPLACED NEW TIRES ADDED ON AND HAD ALL TIRES ALIGNED HOPING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. TO OUR SURPRISE THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM IT JUST KEEPS ON RECURRING WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL B/C ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE HURT IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME I HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU ON THIS SITUATION. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CADILLAC SRX AWD V8, I HAVE HAD MANY STABILITY CONTROL ISSUES, IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER 5 TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED THREE WHEEL BEARINGS AND STILL THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE CAR WILL PULL LEFT SOMETIMES, THE ABS WILL ENGAGE SOMETIMES. THE SYSTEM DOESN'T STORE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX HAS STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED KEEPS COMING ON AND I FEEL VIBRATION . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND CAN'T FIND ANY READING ON THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. THEY SAY THERE'S NO MANUFACTURER INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM. DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY EVEN DROVE THE CAR HOME TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM AND THEY STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED LITE CAME ON BUT CAN'T GET READING FROM CAR'S ON BOARD COMPUTER. *TR

WHILE MERGING ON TO THE INTERSTATE APPROX 2 MILES FROM MY STARTING PLACE, THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE CAME ON TO MY DISPLAY SCREEN. THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE ON A DRY/WARM ROAD. I CLEARED THE MESSAGE AND CONTINUED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. APPROX. 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN, THERE WAS A GRINDING VIBRATION IN THE BREAKS AND THE VEHICLE LOCKED. IT SLOWED TO ABOUT 45 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO USE THE STEERING WHEEL/ACCELERATOR AGAIN. THE MESSAGE THEN CHANGED TO "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. THE GRINDING CONTINUED AND I DROVE 45 THE REMAINDER OF THE WAY TO MY DESTINATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SRX V8 WITH A STABILITY SYSTEM ERROR RECURRING. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONE TIME EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. WHEN THE STABILITY SYSTEM ERROR COMES ON THE CAR SKIDS A BIT, SOMETIMES PULLING LEFT OR RIGHT, OR IF IT COMES ON WHEN I AM BREAKING, ITS GRINDS WITH THE BRAKING AND SEEMS TO SKIP A BIT. THE CADILLAC DEALER SAYS THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THIS PROBLEMS BUT I HAVE READ A LEAST 100 REVIEWS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES FROM CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SOME OF THEM HAVE EVEN BEEN JERKED OFF OF THE ROAD WHEN THE WARNING COMES ON. *TR

STABILITY LIGHT WARNING COMES ON, MECHANIC CANNOT FIND A DEFECT. HOWEVER, STARTED LOCKING UP FRONT WHEELS WHEN TURNING. MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. SO FAR NO MAJOR ISSUES, BUT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT LOCKS AT THE WRONG TIME. I HAVE 4 SMALL CHILDREN, CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE. CANNOT SEEM TO GET IT FIXED. OCCURS ABOUT ONCE DAILY, USUALLY WHEN TURNING OUT OF A STOP TO THE LEFT (?). NOTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED, AS THERE SEEMS TO BE NO DEFECT FOUND BY THE MECHANIC. LIVING IN GERMANY, MECHANIC IS GM CERTIFIED. *TR

2004 CADILLAC SRX INVOLVED IN A FRONT END RASH ON JAN 19, 2010. SEVERE FRONT END CRASH HOWEVER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATES WITH OUT PROVOCATION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE LATEST OCCURRED 4/09/2010 THE STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATED UNDER DRY WEATHER EXCELLENT DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PULL HARD TO THE LEFT AND GO INTO LIMP MODE. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT MANY OWNERS OF CADILLAC SRX'S ARE EXPERIENCING SAME CONDITION. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE AT CADILLAC DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 120 DAYS EACH TIME TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED ONLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *TR

STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM RANDOMLY ENGAGES. THE CAR THEN SOMETIMES VIBRATES OR SHUTTERS (BRAKE ENGAGING?) AND ON TWO OCCASIONS THE CAR TUGGED TO THE LEFT. A SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL MESSAGE ALSO RANDOMLY APPEARS. A CADILLAC DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY STEERING SENSOR. THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY GM AND A PRICE OF $405 WAS QUOTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE A SAFETY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND AFFECTS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. *TR

VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED SPONTANEOUSLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO "HYDROPLANE"...STEERING INOPERABLE AND BRAKING SLOW AT BEST. DASH LIGHT WOULD READ " STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED". EVENT WOULD LAST A FEW SECONDS. TAKEN TO CADILLAC DEALER. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY STEERING WHEEL SENSOR. *TR

VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM BEGAN TO ENGAGE SPONTANEOUSLY CAUSING VEHICLE TO TEMPORARILY ENGAGE ABS, AND VEERING OFF COURSE. VEHICLE STABILITY SYSTEM SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED. PROBLEM WORSENED OVER AA 1 MONTH PERIOD. TOOK TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIP WHERE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR. *TR

TOLD ME IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WANTS TO COME OUT OF IT WITH A HAMMER. 3. HAD TO REPLACE REAR TRANSFER CASE. COST $2000. MECH. TOLD ME I AM GOING TO GET SICK WHEN U SEE IT. I GOT DOWN THERE WITH CAMERA. MAIN SHAFT HAS METAL TO METAL CONTACT THAT WORE DOWN WITH METAL SHAVINGS UNDER CAUSED WOBBLE IN SHAFT.
