While sitting at a friend's house on a hill my brakes went completely out once I hit them they went to the floor and we eended up hitting a tree stump that saved us from going off a steep cliff to possibly hurting each and everyone of us in the car.

I have a 2004 srx awd. I always get the "stability system engaged" message with some vibration and vehicle rear side goes left side and after little time its goes away . Sometimes when I step on the brake I would get a grunting sound then the "griding" from brake pedal. It happens on when vehicle speed is more than 40 MPH & few times I almost hit another vehicle in other lane.

Constantly, constant problems. Every time I turn around this car is stalling, the stability control light and traction control and ABS lights come on , slowing acceleration and causing safety issues. There are times when I see the dic message board blinking and the car acts as though it is going to stop. These issues listed on this site from all these people needs to be investigated before someone is hurt or killed. I am now writing to cadillac because the issues are getting out of control and I am afraid for my and my child's life. I am moving forward to seek out an attorney for a lawsuit this is ridiculous.

I bought the srx used in september and since then I have had one issue after another. If I accelerate too quickly my transmission, (I think), has a very loud ratcheting/popping sound. My service suspension system error msg comes on every time I start my vehicle. I have read that this could be related to the air compressor not working or faulty sensors. My service stability system error msg also comes on every time I start my vehicle. This seems to cause the traction control feature to mess up, which then on occasion when I press my brakes, even slightly, my brakes lock up and I skid for just a second. My power steering fluid seems to continually leak or the pump is bad. I have refilled my resovoir many times and I constantly have a very loud "whining" sound. My power steering system also seems to go out occasionally and my vehicle is very difficult to turn.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 cadillac srx. The contact stated that the front and rear brakes made an abnormal noise. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who replaced the bearings, cvc joints, a rotor on the front driver's side, and two rotors in the rear. Months later, the abnormal noise returned. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic who was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The contact was unable to determine if the vehicle was included or excluded from the federal safety agency campaign number: 04v151000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact was to check with the manufacturer. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

My brakes failed as I was driving the car, I had just made a u turn and was parking in a parking space on a city street when the brakes failed. The pedal went to the floor and did not stop the car. Although, I pumped the brakes nothing happened. Praise the lord jesus I was going very slow as there was septa bus behind me and car in front of me.

Hood hydraulics bar doesn't stay up on front.rear hydraulics hatch door doesn't stay up. Brake line is rotted yet was garaged for most of its life.caddy repair noticed this. Front and rear differentials are bad.they are leaking.brought it in because of the noise to mechanic and too costly to repair. Extended warranty was useless. They didn't cover it although it states they cover differentials if... Loud noise on acceleration. Very costly repairs and dangerous.

I found out I have rusty brake lines. My brakes failed on me while driving. I pulled into the closest parking lot and saw the fluid pouring from under my car.
