I OWN A 2005 CADILLAC SRX AND IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FLAWS IN THIS VEHICLE (PURCHASED USED IN OCTOBER 2010). THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THE "STABILITY SERVICE ENGAGING" AS I AM DRIVING AND AFTER I HAVE MADE A SHARP TURN. THE VEHICLE LOCKS THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME THREE SEPARATE TIMES WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR. I HAVE READ SEVERAL BLOGS ON EDMUND.COM (13 PAGES)AND ALSO ON THIS WEBSITES COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY SRX AND AFTER PAYING A NICE AMOUNT FOR THIS SUV, I FIND THIS TO BE IRRESPONSIBLE OF CADILLAC AND I DO SEE SOME FAULT ON THE NHTSA PART FOR NOT RECALLING OR DEMANDING CADILLAC TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. AS OTHERS HAVE STATED THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW THE PROBLEM, WHICH I ALSO THINK IS RIDICULOUS, BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE CERTIFIED TO DO. I HAVE ALSO SEEN WHERE SOME HAVE HAD THE "STEERING WHEEL SENSOR" REPLACE AND THIS HAS SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN CADILLAC SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE "STEERING WHEEL SENSOR" SEEING THAT ITS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW PEOPLE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CADILLAC AND WILL ADVISE OTHERS THE SAME, IF THIS ISN'T TAKEN CARE OF ASAP, MY NEXT STEP WILL BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT!! I, AS WELL AS OTHERS, WORK HARD FOR OUR INCOME AND WHEN PURCHASING AND TRUSTING IN A PRODUCT WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE A QUALITY PRODUCT AND IF FOR SOME REASON THERE IS A PROBLEM, I PERSONALLY EXPECT THE MANUFACTURER TO TAKE CARE OF IT, JUST LIKE I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR PAYMENT EACH MONTH! *TR

FOR MORE THAN 2.5 YEARS MY SRX (PURCHASED NEW IN 2005) HAS EXPERIENCED RE-OCCURRING/INTERMITTENT TURN SIGNAL FAILURE OF BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS. AFTER THE TURN SIGNAL FAILS, IT WILL SOMETIMES WORK AGAIN AFTER A SECOND OR THIRD ATTEMPT. MOST OFTEN, HOWEVER, I MUST RESORT TO SWITCHING ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS TO ACTIVATE THE TURN SIGNAL. THE VEHICLE HAS UNDERGONE TEN UNSUCCESSFUL REPAIR ATTEMPTS SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2008 THROUGH THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DIRECTOR AND MECHANICS APPEAR TO BE AT A LOSS ON HOW TO RECTIFY THIS ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

ONE DAY AFTER AROUND 2 WEEKS OF BUYING MY CAR, I STARTED TO HEAR STRANGE NOISES INSIDE THE REAR CAR DOOR PANELS EVERYTIME I LOWER OR RAISE THE WINDOWS. ONE DAY I WAS AT WORK ABOUT TO GO TO LUNCH, SO I GOT IN MY CAR' TURNED IT ON THEN STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY AT THE SAME TIME LOWERING MY WINDOWS TO AIR OUT THE HOT AIR BUILD UP, THEN AFTER A MINUTE OR SO AS I WAS DRIVING I STARTED TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS' SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SEEN THAT MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NOT THERE.... I WENT TO A SERVICES STATION WHERE HAD ONE OF THE WORKERS CHECK IT OUT AND ADVISED ME THAT THE WINDOW HAD JUST FALLEN INTO THE DOOR... I HAD THEM TEMPORARILY CLOSED THE WINDOW AND LOCK IT IN PLACE UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED.... A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT' MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE EXACT SAME THING... AFTER IT WAS GETTING ROLLED UP DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE EMERGENCY LANE TO PULL THE WINDOW UP AND LOCK IT IN-PLACE THE SAME WAY I HAD THE OTHER ONE DONE.. I HAD IT CHECK OUT AND AN ESTIMATE WAS GIVEN BUT I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY AN MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR
