My car was going 70 on the interstate and the reduced engine power signal came on and my car jerked and started powering down. It was a throttle body issue. Now my cars electrical system won't work, and electronic stability control won't work because of small magnets that had poor design. My car windows don't open. The electrical system shuts of while the car is driving and I can't see my steering panel at all.
2010 Cadillac SRX brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Took vehicle into gm chevy dealer today for tire rotation and oil/filter change. No other issues. Dove vehicle home and noticed two lights on dashboard; ABS and stabilitrak. Also message on dic indicating to service ABS. No issues before dealer service.
The brake pedal does not fully reset after being depressed. This causes the rear brake lights to remain on while vehicle is in motion, but brake is not actually being applied.
When it is warm outside (above 75) when the brakes are applied, the pedal does not return to the neutral position, and the brakes are still engaged. We have to pull up on the brake pedal, and it comes back to neutral.
Went to stop on four separate occasions (so far) and my brake peddle went to the floor. Had to run out of my lane to miss the car in front of me......very dangerous!!! Mileage 134,000
The vehicle switches to stabilitrac and ABS at the same time causing the engine to not shift into the next gear. This causes the transmission to be over ram and I have to stop the vehicle completely and put it into sport mode and manually shift the gears in order for it to shift gears. The vehicle is in motion at the time of transmission not shifting correctly into the next RPM.
Brakes are constantly locking up as I drive down the highway. The lights are defected. I've replaced the bulbs numerous times but you still can't see how to drive at night time. Also, something is wrong with the rear suspension.
Two incidents that endangered my life as well as others. Vehicle with 26,000 miles driving on interstate at 65 to 70 MPH all of a sudden vehicle stops computer says engine power reduced traffic behind was lucky able to avoid hitting me. Second incident last week on interstate traffic all stopped due to construction I have little to no brakes fortunately I was able to swerve off to my right situation very very dangerous.
Moisture in drivers side headlight due to broken seal. Manufacturer/dealer known issue with these vehicle's causing difficulty seeing at night which is a safety hazard. New headlamps burn out prematurely and can happen at anytime unexpectedly. Also, stability control light randomly comes on, ABS light always on.
Driving to work, went to stop at a red light, "no" brakes. I pumped the pedal a couple of times, finally attained enough pressure to stop the car. There were no signals, warning indicators noting to warn me of the stopping ability of the car. The previous day, the car was fine, good solid brake pedal. Took the car to the dealer, the car was inspected, fluid levels fine. Dealer suggested to bleed the brake system for entrapped air. I thought this was extremely strange. Also recommended the front brake pads were 60% gone, should be replaced. I followed the dealers recommendations, and the car responded, everything is fine now except I could have been killed or others injured by this failure.
While driving my wife had to push brake pedal further down to engage the brakes to slow or stop. Problem came on relatively quickly. Took to shop. Diagnosed as a leak in power brake booster. Also, the hood release mechanism in passenger compartment broke, making release of hood very difficult. Dangerous in case of emergency requiring access to engine compartment.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 cadillac srx. While driving 55 MPH, the vehicle vibrated severely and jerked before suddenly accelerating independently. The contact mentioned that the brakes did not respond when the brake pedal was depressed and the hand brake failed to operate when engaged. In addition, the instrument panel warning lights flickered. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
I was rear-ended while I was stopped in traffic. There was minor damage to my rear bumper however this caused numerous issues with my car immediately thereafter. I experienced numerous electrical issues and then it got worse. I lost steering, brakes and and the engine stalled. The car became immobile and had to be towed to the dealership. After they serviced the vehicle, they found that the battery shorted out and the ecu had failed. I believe that because the problems occurred immediately after the collision that it was the collision that triggered them. I feel that this is a design flaw that could be very dangerous in such a situation.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) to whom it might concern: I'm a big fan of cadillac cars. I purchased a brand new 2010 cadillac srx in december 2010 from crest cars (cadillac authorized dealer) and the car has been running good, except for the brake. The brake makes lots of unacceptable grinding and rattle noise immediately whenever I start to release the brake or apply it partially. Here's how to duplicate the noise: - if the car stops, release the brake gradually. The grinding noise appears very loud, especially when the car is in a slope slightly downward. - if the car is moving, apply the brake to stop it. About less than one second before the car goes to a complete stop, the grinding noise re-appears. I contacted crest car (the dealer where I purchased the car) and have them take a look to fix it. After about 2 days, they returned the car to me, saying that they "cannot do anything about the noise". Here are some important information I received from dealer: - the service advisor agreed with me that the problem with the brake is valid. - the service advisor agreed that they cannot do anything to stop the noise with the brake - the technician stated in the paperwork that the noise from the brake also comes from other 2010 srx crossover. Service advisor refused to honor warranty because they are unable to fix the noise. The car is only 3-4 months old and under full warranty. Whenever I apply the brake, I try to press harder than I should have. To overcome the noise, whenever I try to release the break, I try to release completely instead of gradually releasing it. Since the brake affects my habit of controlling the car, it is considered a serious safety issue with the car. [xxx]
