“At low speeds when pulling out of a driveway or taking off from a stop sign or traffic light my 2006 Cadillac SRX traction control engages and almost stops my vehicle in the middle of the road. I have almost been hit several times by other drivers because of this problem. I took my Cadillac to a local GM dealership (dale earnhardt chevrolet) in newton nc. On my first visit to the dealer they found a multiple misfire (code p300) and a faulty oil pressure sensor (code p0521 & code p0523). …”
NHTSA complaint #10615845, filed 2014-07, 125,150 miles“Vehicle stutters like it is trying to turn off or the wheels are catching on something. This happens when first pulling out and sometimes when driving. Mostly happens after making a u turn. (does not matter if the turn is tight or not). Car hesitates and then straightens itself out. This is dangerous and hard to figure out. The first time it happened I had pulled into traffic in front of a big truck if there hadn't been a turn lane for me to get into he would have run me over. This has been happening for 3-4 months not. The stability control service just came up today. …”
NHTSA complaint #11161203, filed 2018-12, 120,000 miles“While driving at a very slow speed the car tracking system light comes on and the car lost the ability to accelerate. I was in the medium of a very busy highway and almost had an accident because the more I push on the accelerator the car would not go any faster. This is very dangerous and I am almost afraid to drive my vehicle. I have taken it to the shop for this problem and they had no idea why this was happening. I have to be very careful when at a stop sign getting ready to take off because I don't know if the car will accelerate or not. …”
NHTSA complaint #10761925, filed 2015-09, 88,590 miles“This incident has happen twice and I was almost in a fatal car accident (killed). Both incidents I pulled out of a drive way turn left the 1st time and right the other and my brakes locked up on me and the system stability service stability system appeared on the dash, oncoming cars approach the car and I was almost hit with kids in the car with me; I had to shut down the car and restart. Cadillac needs to get the issue fixed asap before it causes death. I am making this comment because if I have a fatal accident I will make sure my family is aware of this issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10760813, filed 2015-09, 128,000 miles“This is the third incident with this vehicle involving the traction control stability system locking up. The last two event involved a crash. The most recent crash I broke my neck and I am in rehab recovery. This most recent crash involved a complete loss of control where the stability lights on the dash came on all of sudden on a snow / ice covered road, and the back end spun around and I crashed into the ditch along the road. I suffered a broken neck and still have the neck brace. As soon as the dash lights came on the vehicle was uncontrollable, and began to slide and spin off the road. …”
