At any speed and at least 100 times or more, the vehicle stability control activates and causes the vehicle to pull to the left. At freeway speeds it can be a very strong pull to the left and it also makes a noise. The dealer doesnt seem to know why. When the stability system kicks in at 60 to 70 MPH and it pulls to the left so hard it it is dangerous, it also makes a sound but I dont know what the sound is. It is dangerous as I have to correct for the sudden pull to the left. I also researched this on the internet and found that many people are having the same experience as me. I believe that there should be a recall on this problem and it should be solved. If this rapid pull to the left gets any worse, I believe it is possible that it could cause a wreck or roll over due to over correction of the pull to the left. Please investigate this problem.

When driving the car begins to shake and pulls hard to the right. At the same time the stability system engaged message pops up. It does this constantly, I never take a drive without the message appearing. This morning the same happened on the way to work, but the worst ever. I almost lost control of the car and swerved in front of a school bus on the freeway. I attempted to accelerate but the car acted like a combination of having a flat tire and running out of gas. Reading cadillac srx problem with stability system thread on edmunds.com, I realize that this is a manufacturing issue. Thankfully no one has died yet, but after this mornings incident, the outcome if I would have hit the school bus going 60 on the freeway, could have been tragic.

My 2004 cadillac srx has 98000 miles on it. The service stability system light comes on after driving for 20 minutes, each time I start the car. I clear the system and just drive. The car shakes while driving a bit and does pull to the right. I am not experiencing some of the problems many others are facing with this same warning, but feel I too will soon, it is getting worse. I also was forced to put in 89 octane gas at a station that didnt have super, I had a low fuel light. After 20 minutes of driving stability light came on along with check engine. I cancelled my trip and drove to my mechanic. He stated there was a misfire which may be from lower grade gas but after a fill up of super and a full day of driving check engine light is flashing. Bringing it back to get serviced I was told there was no misfire, clogged injectors norfaulty plugs. The problem was with the ecu. These cars sense a problem and "shut off" the problematic fule injector. Well mine is not problematic but the computer says it is!!! Now what buy a new ecu!!! 149.00 for the diagnostic and over 500.00 for the ecu not including labor, I'm looking at a grand to fix the problem, if this is the problem!!! I really love the style and look of this car, but all the extra crap is overkill. There needs to be a recall for the stability system quick, we are going to have a toyota situation on our hands

I have a 2004 cadillac srx v8 with a stability system error recurring. This happens at least one time every time I drive the car. When the stability system error comes on the car skids a bit, sometimes pulling left or right, or if it comes on when I am breaking, its grinds with the braking and seems to skip a bit. The cadillac dealer says they haven't seen this problems but I have read a least 100 reviews on different websites from customers experiencing the same problems. Some of them have even been jerked off of the road when the warning comes on.
