2005 Cadillac SRX Steering Problems

“My 05 Cadillac SRX have a serious safety issue in the frame where as a metal pice on left and right front have rotted all the way through. I have pictures of the problem. I need someone to help me because no car should have this proble with only 80 thousand miles on it. How can I send the picture to.”

“While changing lanes...my steering wheel locked and vehicle jumped to the right lane. I restarted the car and the wheel was free. I took it in for repairs and was told I must replace the entire steering rack, pump and hoses for a cost of $ 2,489.00. The repair facility told me this is very common in SRX and that he just did the same thing on another 05 SRX! Scary and costly!”

“'takata recall' when I was driving my dash, stereo and lights started to flicker and all the electrical components were not working. Then. I tried changing lanes on the interstate to exit but lost power steering. It was very dangerous at those high speed!. I was able to pull off before my car completely died.. It took a while for it to turn back on but once it did the car was not working properly, such as the temp and gas gauge, traction control was not working and light was lit on dash. Power steering wasn't working, and the transmission was shifting weird. …”

“I bought my 2005 Cadillac SRX at 43,000 miles june 25,2012 now it's january 23,2014 and the power steering goes out at 72,000 miles. There was a huge leak steering was very tight and stability was in use. My father said it looks like the pump was replaced once that's ridiculous with the low miles my car has. I think Cadillac really needs to fix the problem they have recalls on the 2004's they need to fix the 2005's too! It's a burden right now I'm paying for a car that's sits in the garage now!”

“I own a 2005 Cadillac SRX awd v8. There was a power steering leak that occurred approximately 9/2010 (date could be off, but GM has the official dates/mileage). This was serviced by the dealer and they replaced the power steering return line stating that this is a regular occurrence in this style Cadillac. I filed a complaint with GM at the time because I had to rent a car for 3 weeks as the part was out of stock and in production. Gm agreed to pay for my rental car. Approximately 4/2013 the same leak started under my power steering return line. …”
