“The car serge's all the time, the motor sounds like a diesel when you start it for about 10 seconds then goes away. Had the oil changed and did everything I and the mechanics could do and it is still there. The key keeps getting stuck and hard to start. This Cadillac SRX only has 82k miles and this has been going on for over 25k miles. Guess I just never need to by a Cadillac again.”
