Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My stabilizer track/ABS light came on but before it did my car was driving about 20 miles even though I had my foot down on the gas. Then it jumps into moving fast. The light goes on and off, so when it's off the car won't move it drags then it jumps but when the stabilizer track/ABS light comes back on it doesn't do this. I checked recalls and it says my vehicle doesn't have any but who knows if this has been fixed improperly before. I was driving and cars were beeping then when it jumped I almost hit a car in front of me.”

“This winter it was freezing, my 2011 SRX Cadillac displayed a reduced engine power message, and I couldn't go over about 5 miles per hour. I had to pull over and stop the car. After a short time, I restarted the engine and had power back. I took the car to the Cadillac dealership with the check engine light on. They said it was my throttle body sensor. The cost came to $603. I was the second car out of four within a one week time frame that had to get this problem fixed. Cadillac did a recall for this same problem on its other vehicles but not the SRX.”

“Stability control light and reduced engine power happened at a stop light. Vehicle was in stop and go traffic approaching traffic light on highway exit ramp. Car throttle body issues already noted for other Cadillac SRX models of same year but GM said our VIN was not covered. It is the same exact problem listed in the GM serice bullitin # 14582a from october 2015.”

“Abs stability code (c0045) left rear wheel speed sensor encoder ring broken. Mileage 96,020. Replaced speed sensor ($28.71) and rear hub assembly ($188.54). Labor ($420). The broken sensor and hub created a noticeable and significant reduction in acceleration. Vehicle would nearly stall. Mileage 96,360 began receiving service rear axle code. No noticeable performance problem, but a slight whining noise at lower speed.”

“Sun roof drain hose is not probably set up. Which cased lift get modules to short out so I can along or use the lift gate and water to run in to the vehicle”
