2006 Cadillac Srx

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 2, 2014 that they are recalling 554,328 model year 2003-2014 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured August 16, 2001, to April 28, 2014, and 2004-2006 Cadillac SRX vehicles manufactured March 20, 2003, to August 11, 2006. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2014. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 14172.

Defect. ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE REAR AXLE PINION SEAL DOES NOT MEET ALL OF THE SPECIFICATIONS AND MAY EXPERIENCE A FLUID LEAK.

Risk. A REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE MAY CAUSE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER AND POSSIBLY LOSS OF CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PINION SEAL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 1, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006 OR HTTP://WWW.CADILLAC.COM; PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668 OR HTTP://WWW.PONTIAC.COM; AND SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876 OR HTTP://WWW.SATURN.COM.

Defect. CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INCOMPLETE TIRE RIM DESIGNATION ON THE CERTIFICATION/TIRE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR EDGE. IN ADDITION, THE LABEL MAY ALSO BE MISSING THE TIRE LOAD RATING ON THE LABEL. ALTHOUGH THIS INFORMATION IS NOT REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD, IF A TIRE OF A LESSER LOAD RATING IS INSTALLED, THE TIRE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE LOADS ENCOUNTERED DURING USE.

Risk. IF A CUSTOMER REPLACES A WHEEL AND ONLY RELIES ON THE RIM SIZE DESIGNATION THAT IS INDICATED ON THE LABEL, A WHEEL THAT IS OF A DIFFERENT RIM CONTOUR DESIGNATION MAY BE INSTALLED. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO MOUNT THE TIRE ON A WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR. IF THE TIRE IS MOUNTED ON THE WHEEL WITH THE WRONG CONTOUR, THE WHEEL AND TIRE MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. A LABEL THAT WILL CORRECT THE LABEL ORIGINALLY INSTALLED WILL BE MAILED TO CONSUMERS ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE CUSTOMER WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL. THE RECALL BEGAON ON NOVEMBER 7, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2239, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, AND GMC TRUCKS AT 1-866-996-9463.

My car was parked for 2hrs 30 min. And I came to my car to it being burnt from under the passenger seat. Door panel is damaged and window is shattered and burnt. Roof is burnt.I think it was due to the electrical wiring from under the passenger seat.

The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the oil-sending unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired five times, but the failure persisted. The dealer declined to repair the vehicle again. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure but provided no additional assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

OIL SENSOR UNIT FAILURE CAUSING ENGINE TO LOSE OIL. a REALPROBLEM.

*The chest clip failed. At the beginning, we had a very hard time unlatching the chest clip to where we thought we needed to cut it. Later, the chest clip started to become very loose to where my son could undo it by just touching it, then one evening it did not latch on at all. *It is available for inspection upon request. *The car seat has not been inspected by anyone. The child seat is temporarily in my home until it is in the clear to be discarded after the recall. I have not notified Maxi Cosi.

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.

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.
