“About 3years ago the dryshaft went bad on my 2006 SRX.I asked the dealerships service manager was it a recall on the part and he said no.

“When pressing the accelerator pedal on my 2006 Cadillac SRX the traction control engages and the radio displays traction control engaged. You never know when it is going to happen. It happens on take off from a red light, when turning, going over speed bumps and always at low speed. I have had the car to the dealership multiple times but they are not able to duplicate the problem. They say can only fix the problem if the can duplicate it. …”

“When stopping, then starting up (with the engine running, like at a stop sign) the 2006 Cadillac SRX will often fail to move when the accelerator is pressed and the 'traction control' indication lights up on the radio. This also happens sometimes when turning without stopping. It happens on level ground and when going up inclines. It makes a grinding sound (like when gears are raked in a manual transmission.) by letting off the accelerator, then re-applying it, the car will move, but the hesitation is very dangerous. …”

“When pressing on the accelerator of my 2006 Cadillac SRX, there is no response. The traction control monitor lights up on the radio suggesting an issue. Upon letting off the gas pedal and depressing again the engine is very sluggish and puts all driving and in the car at potential risk for a collision. The radio also lights up showing that the cars speed is limited to 80mph. The condition occurs in all seasons and all weather and is very random. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer multiple times and the dealer has no idea what the issue is. …”

“We own a 2006 Cadillac SRX awd that is having a problem with the traction control. Pretty regularly, when you are driving at a low rate of speed, the traction control will engage without warning. You can be turning in an intersection when it happens or just pulling out of a parking lot but when it happens, the radio alert will read traction control engaged . You have to reach over and hit the clear button to get it to stop. When it happens, you lose power. If you are in an intersection, you have to be very careful & fast or you will get hit. It's very scary. …”
