My car had been stalling, or "jerking" when a accelerating for a week or so before the following incident, but due to the shelter in place ordinance, l put off taking it to a mechanic. However, my car finally shut off at a stop light, causing a distracted driver to nearly rear end me. A friendly driver assisted me with pushing it (traveling north on mannheim rd in hillside) to an amoco station. I called onstar initially to get it towed, but since my father is a retired mechanic, l called him. He was able to start it and drove it to their home just a couple miles from that location. He checked with a fellow/working mechanic and he thought the problem was a air flow sensor. That part was replaced a couple days later. I drove the car to run several errands and as l was leaving the grocery store on st. Charles rd in berkeley, headed east, the same thing happened. Again, my father met me at the location, got it to start and drove it to a working mechanic. After placing it on a machine for review, the mechanic stated that it appeared to be the catalytic converter as he didn't see anything else wrong. I was checking online for pricing before agreeing to repairs only to discover that there was a recall on the same make/model for hesitation in acceleration, due to the catalytic converter. Now, I'm wondering if there's a faulty converter issue on my end, and I'd like this to be investigated.

While car was running it started jerking and it would not go faster than 20mph. When car came to a stop it turned off. When starting the car before it starts running it would jerk again and slowing go up to max 30mph.

Takata recall about 2 weeks ago, I notice while driving that I'm loosing the acceleration. The front gausr of RPM is not consistent. We can feel the engine is having trouble going forwrd evry time I punch in the gas pedal. My passanger and I can feel the acceleration bit chocking. So, I brought it some mechanics & they says possible time chain problem. They diagnose the car and here some of the code came out. P0011, p0014, p0016, p0018, p0021. At first, they thought of changing the camshaft sensors and crankshaft sensors maybe it would resolve the problem but it didn't. They suggest to call the cadillac dealer possible for recalls. I drive my car daily to work, from merced to lathrop, that's about 120 miles back and fort. I used to drive my car from merced to frement from the past 4years everyday but I got tranfer to lathrop about 2 years now.

The 3 to 4 second lag in acceleration has returned. Dealer will do nothing because there is not another recall

I purchased a 2013 srx used in january of 2017 and on several occasions today being the latest, after coming to a complete stop at 4-way intersections, when I try to press the gas pedal and move into the intersection the car coasts without power and leaves me stranded for a few seconds. With the gas pedal pressed all the way to the floor the vehicle all of a sudden bolts forward causing the vehicle "peel out". Being stranded in the intersection is scary and I am afraid I will be hit. This is a safety concern, but it does not happen on a consistent basis for the dealership to locate the problem. I see on the internet several other concerns that sound very similar to this.

The engine shut down in the middle of the freeway. I had no power to accelerate the car. There was no light on the dashboard to let me know that the car wasn't running. I had hit the brakes and there was no power brake. Then I tried to accelerate. I was going downhill and was able to coast across two lanes of traffic to the side. Mass airflow sensor was bad.

I was driving on i94 west in the passing lane at 72 miles per hour when my engine shut down. The dashboard flashed 72, then 62, and 52 miles with an icon showing that the car was shutting down. Fortunately, traffic allowed me to coast to exit 112 (a marshall, mi rest stop) where I waited 1.5 hours for a tow. General motors charged me for the tow. It has been two weeks and my car is still with gm for service 45 miles from my home. I am reporting this incident so that you are aware and hopefully it will not happen to others. I was lucky. It was scary and I am still quite shaken. This is an expensive vehicle that is only a year or more in age. It is unacceptable that it has a major defect. I fear for my safety and would prefer a replacement vehicle instead of the one I was driving.
