THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPEN TWICE AND I WAS ALMOST IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT (KILLED). BOTH INCIDENTS I PULLED OUT OF A DRIVE WAY TURN LEFT THE 1ST TIME AND RIGHT THE OTHER AND MY BRAKES LOCKED UP ON ME AND THE SYSTEM STABILITY SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM APPEARED ON THE DASH, ONCOMING CARS APPROACH THE CAR AND I WAS ALMOST HIT WITH KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME; I HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND RESTART. CADILLAC NEEDS TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES DEATH. I AM MAKING THIS COMMENT BECAUSE IF I HAVE A FATAL ACCIDENT I WILL MAKE SURE MY FAMILY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICE MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. IF CADILLAC FAILS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE BLOOD WILL BE ON THEIR HANDS. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY!

THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE INVOLVING THE TRACTION CONTROL STABILITY SYSTEM LOCKING UP. THE LAST TWO EVENT INVOLVED A CRASH. THE MOST RECENT CRASH I BROKE MY NECK AND I AM IN REHAB RECOVERY. THIS MOST RECENT CRASH INVOLVED A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL WHERE THE STABILITY LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON ALL OF SUDDEN ON A SNOW / ICE COVERED ROAD, AND THE BACK END SPUN AROUND AND I CRASHED INTO THE DITCH ALONG THE ROAD. I SUFFERED A BROKEN NECK AND STILL HAVE THE NECK BRACE. AS SOON AS THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON THE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE, AND BEGAN TO SLIDE AND SPIN OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WHERE THE VEHICLE SHIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A JERKING FASHION FOR NO REASON WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. AT THAT TIME I WAS ALSO IN A CRASH. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIMING CHAINS, SPROCKETS, ACTUATORS, GUIDES, TENSIONER ALL MAJOR ENGINES PARTS NEEDING REPLACEMENT ON A CADILLAC WELL CARED FOR AT BARELY 100K. CONTACTED GM, GAVE RUN AROUND FOR WEEKS AND DENY THE FACT THAT THERE IS PREMATURE ENGINE WEARING ISSUES W NO COMPENSATION ON THESE 40K CARS, THEY CREATED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE SAME ISSUES ON SAME ENGINES IN DIFFERENT YR MODEL CARS AND SAME EXACT MODEL AS WELL. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

CADILLAC SRX FROM YEARS 2004-2009 HAS A PROBLEM WITH BURNT OUT FRONT TURN SIGNAL/RUNNING LIGHT BULBS. TO CHANGE AN $8.00 BULB COST ABOUT $150-200 BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO ACCESS THE BULB. I FEEL THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A TURN SIGNAL (SAFETY) PROBLEM GM SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR FREE OR MADE AN ENGINEERING CHANGE WHICH THEY DIDN'T. THE WEB SHOWS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM SRX OWNERS WHO HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS NUMEROUS TIMES AND GAVE UP AND NOW HAVE NO FRONT TURN SIGNALS. MOST WHO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM SAY THAT THE BULB RUNS TOO HOT CRACKING THE AC-DELCO SOCKET(19120947). THE LAST TIME I REPLACED THE BULBS ONE BURNT OUT IN A WEEK. MY VEHICLE IS AN 2004 CADILLAC SRX AWD 3.6 L 6 CYLINDER ENGINE AND AS 10/3/2004 MY MILEAGE IS 40065. BULBS HAVE BURNT OUT 4 TIMES. *TR
