The car lot told me to use unleaded gasoline but the book says to use premium, can gm clear this up please!! This vehicle needs several recalls issued and fixed, so many have reported the same issues over and over, some life threatening and no one has done anything to help these people, if like me low income they dont want to go thru buying another car they want their cadillac srx fixed so they can actually get use of what they paid for. The sunroof shade was shut when i bought it and in traffic it sprung open fast and loud and it was a scary site when you have children in the backseat and your in heavy traffic. Always got an error message on the screen saying to service the stablitrax system or to repair the traction control and the tire things that tell you how much air is in each tire, we had 1 that didnt register at all. Also if you had traction control turned on, the abs would apply themselves which sometimes felt unsafe. One summer day in traffic it cut off all power, we ended up getting it started again to get out of the road, and it got us back home, that was a year ago and it hasnt ran since. This was the rear, the carlots mechanic fixed it, then the battery and alternator had to be replaced and the throttle body intake had to be opened and cleaned because it wasnt opening like it is designed to do, and so the exhaust was getting trapped in the exhaust manifold. In general, this seems a very safe and reliable car seems that gm could have designed the bulb housing of a sturdier material.Ībout a week after i bought my 2004 cadillac srx, it started jerking and making a loud clicking or popping sound, later found out that a few sprockets inside the transfer case had broke off and the chain? Was slipping. There are multiple blogs containing sad stories of how hard it is to make a bulb change, and i personally often see this model being driven (as i am now) with only one light working. The safety issue is that we have drls for a reason, and we have turn signals for a reason. Sometimes they start working again without repair, and sometimes repair is required. I have owned my 2004 srx for three years and have encountered multiple failures of the drl and turn signals. This can be difficult and time-consuming, then one gets to remove the actual housing, which is awkwardly placed for removing the retaining bolts.
Not so bad, except that the overall lamp housing can only be accessed by removing multiple elements of bodywork. Then, one or several of the components must be replaced.
Over time, and frequently, there is a problem with either the bulb or the housing or the associated wiring, due to heat. However, the design failed to consider that the drl is on whenever the car is on. Evidently, the housing for this bulb was designed in plastic, as is common with many light housings. The drl bulb is the same as the turn signal bulb.
This is dangerous and the company needs to recall and investigate the issue before someone is seriously hurt.ĭesign and repair of daytime running lights (drl) is so poor that one is tempted to disconnect them. Some blogs say replacing the "steering wheel sensor" has solved their problem however i have replaced the sensor along with the entire steering power steering rack, brakes, tires, and several other parts and in a year i am still having the same problem every single time i drive. Research of the issue shows that many owners of this vehicle have the same issue and upon inspection at the mechanic, most are not given a solution. Driving the car again repeats the same problem. A "service stability system" warning pops up on the screen directly afterwards and a loud warning sound constantly rings through the car until you stop the vehicle and turn it off for a few minutes. While driving this vehicle at any speed on both the highway and city streets, it abruptly shifts into another lane while driving straight and does not allow you to press on the brakes or move the steering wheel for a few seconds to gain control of the vehicle.

This vehicle needs a recall immediately as the issue can result in an accident or death to the driver/ passengers/ other drivers on the road.
