2007 Cadillac SRX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GERMAIN CADILLAC (4200 MORSE CROSSING, COLUMBUS, OH 43219, (614) 421-2007) WHERE THE MECHANIC PLACED STRUTS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE REAR DEFERENTIAL THAT MAY LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED FOR THE LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE HUB- BEARINGS. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED BY A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAD HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR. THERE WAS AN INITIAL TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WHERE THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIRS WHERE PERFORMED WAS SCHEPEL CADILLAC 2929 W LINCOLN HWY, MERRILLVILLE, IN 46410 (219) 472-1403. WHEN THE PROBLEM RECURRED IT WAS SIX MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE SINCE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE PROBLEM HAD RECURRED THREE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST FOUR YEARS WITH IT POSSIBLY LEADING TO A SERIOUS CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WITH THE LATEST REPAIRS BEING UNCOMPLETED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DISPLAY IN THE VEHICLE SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, THE VEHICLE THEN LOST ALL POWER AND STOPPED ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND WILL NO LONGER START. WE BELIEVE THE ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, WE FOUND CASE #10287 AND FOUND THAT GM OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TIMING CHAIN, UNTIL FEB 2017. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FEBRUARY OF 2018. WE CALLED GM AND SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVES THAT SAID THERE WAS IN FACT A RECALL FOR OUR EXACT MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR FOR THE PREMATURE WARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN, BUT IT WAS NOT WITH OUR VIN.

2 TIMING CHAINS WITHIN 8 MONTHS JUST PUT THE SECOND ONE IN ON SATURDAY AND 4 DAYS LATER THE CAR IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE AGAIN. I HAVE SPOKE TO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR. THE SECOND TIME THE TIMING CHAIN WENT I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 55 IN NJ AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START THE FIRST TIME IT WENT I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING IN THIS OR THE FUNDS TO GET ANOTHER CAR I EXPECT WHEN I PIT MONEY INTO THE CAR I DON'T EXPECT IT TO START RUNNING THE WAY IT WAS WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN WENT.
