2004 Cadillac SRX: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Sep 18, 2020 · Engine, Suspension · 72,500 miles · AR

About a week after I bought my 2004 cadillac srx, it started jerking and making a loud clicking or popping sound, later found out that a few sprockets inside the transfer case had broke off and the chain? Was slipping. This was the rear, the carlots mechanic fixed it, then the battery and alternator had to be replaced and the throttle body intake had to be opened and cleaned because it wasnt opening like it is designed to do, and so the exhaust was getting trapped in the exhaust manifold. One summer day in traffic it cut off all power, we ended up getting it started again to get out of the road, and it got us back home, that was a year ago and it hasnt ran since. Also if you had traction control turned on, the ABS would apply themselves which sometimes felt unsafe. Always got an error message on the screen saying to service the stablitrax system or to repair the traction control and the tire things that tell you how much air is in each tire, we had 1 that didnt register at all. The sunroof shade was shut when I bought it and in traffic it sprung open fast and loud and it was a scary site when you have children in the backseat and your in heavy traffic. This vehicle needs several recalls issued and fixed, so many have reported the same issues over and over, some life threatening and no one has done anything to help these people, if like me low income they dont want to go thru buying another car they want their cadillac srx fixed so they can actually get use of what they paid for. The car lot told me to use unleaded gasoline but the book says to use premium, can gm clear this up please!!

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.

In march2013 I almost had an accident because my brakes would not stop the vehicle, I swerved over to the side and hit the curb a bit. I bought the car in feb 2012. It always had the system balance light to come on so I decided to take it to see what was wrong with it. I took it to general motors in omha nebraksa 114th dodge street. They test drove it and said they did not find anything wrong with it except that I needed new rotors and brakes. I told them about this recall and how my brake problem falls into this and they said they looked up my VIN number and that it was already fixed. I said well this needs to be done over because this could potentially could cause an accident. They explained that my brakes needed to be fixed. I disagree here is the recall infor which certainly is what is happening to my car. I don't even have to touch my brakes for the computer to take over the car and cause it to go off balance and cause swerving service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module recall number: 04v151000 recall date: 03/29/2004 problem summary: on certain passenger vehicles equipped with all wheel drive, the antilock brake system (ABS) may improperly temporarily isolate the driver from the foundation brake system for a maximum of 1.25 seconds.

While driving on a straight stretch of interstate on dry pavement, the stability system intermittently engages causing the ABS to engage. The vehicle will veer to one side (has gone both r and l) as the ABS applies the brakes and the stability system attempts to correct for a problem that doesnt exist. The "stability system engaged" message appears on the touch screen. Additionally, the stability system will engage (again, "stability system engaged" message appears) without the ABS engaging. This will often cause a slight course correction, but no dramatic veer to one side. The ABS recently engaged 2 times during a 90 mile trip with the stability system engaging (no ABS) an additional 6-8 times. At no point were road conditions impared in any way. Weather was mid 60s-low 70's and sunny. The issue occured without the crusie control on (first time, ABS engaged) and with the cruise control on(ABS never engaged). When the ABS engaged, the vehicle would veer enough to move partially into another lane. Had there been more traffic, I could have easily been involved in an accident at highway speeds. Speeds at the time of the incidents varied from 55-70.
