2006 Cadillac SRX Complaints

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 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.
