2006 Cadillac SRX engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There is a p008 code that onstar detected and said I may have engine problems. This would enable the car to have performance issues. I called gm customer service and they want me to pay to have another diagnostic test done and does not want to repair my car which I think they should because my car does not have 100,000 miles on it. There should not be engine problems with a car that doesn't even have 100,000 miles yet.

Tsb # 3423 issued september 30, 2008 for 2004-2008 srx extended warranty issued for same problem on 2007-2009 srx to 120k miles common known issue in this engine gm has used three different sets of timing chains special coverage adjustment #11340 timing chain repair time 6.9 hours information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Check engine light was on. A code scan shows a single error code p0008, which indicates an elongation of timing chains. The repair cost is estimated at $1800 level. I bought it as a gm pep car, and since keep a good record of maintenance (oil changes) at the dealer. There is never an accident involved.
My 2006 cadillac srx has a very hard start up and engine is very loud was starting. Check engine light is constantly on. Had check engine light checked and return codes are p0008 and p0017. Gm knows this is a problem in these vehicles and fails to place a recall out to correct the issue. I buy nothing but cadillacs but I am very upset about this issue!!!! I think gm really needs to take care of this!!!!!!
Timing chains! Car was parked, and went to start it and it wouldn't start. Had it towed to dealer and they told me it was timing chains and $2800.00. In doing some research, found that 2004 - 2006 models are having issues with the oil getting to the chains properly, because the hole is too small to lubricate chains. I buy high end cars and take care of them. This is the first time a timing chain has ever gone out on any of my vehicles. (been driving 40 some years) a mechanic has told me that they are seeing more and more of them. I think there should be a recall or at least someone looking into this. Another person that I know of had their 2004 cts timing chains go out while driving down the freeway and it blew the engine.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 cadillac srx. The contact stated that while accelerating, the reduced power to engine warning light flashed on the dashboard. The contact was driving 65 MPH when the vehicle suddenly reduced speed to 20 MPH, almost causing a crash. The contact stated that once the vehicle was shut off and restarted, the vehicle would then reset itself and resume normally. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the dealer was unable to duplicate or locate the failure because the check engine light was not illuminated at the time. The failure mileage was 65,000.
The timing chain/belt in 2006 cadillac srx is defective. It could be the crank shaft rubbing on the timing chain. I called gm there is a recall for 2007 - 2010 the response I received was how long do I expect gm to own my vehicle. I have spoke to several car dealers who tell me this is a problem with this year and model and fixing it will not stop it from happening again. The estimate from the dealer is $3500.00 I am very upset over this.
