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.”
NHTSA complaint #11339471, filed 2020-07, 113,500 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11064778, filed 2018-01, 105,000 miles“On highway going 75mph suddenly reduced power mode & service stabillitrak messages. Car immediately downshifted to 45mph which could've caused a major accident. Tsb 14582a ' throttle body ' reduced power mode which states 'this special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership' exists, yet my dealer will not honor the extension on the warranty because my VIN is not part of the TSB.”
NHTSA complaint #11055368, filed 2017-12, 117,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11309858, filed 2020-02, 90,000 miles“Sometimes when accelerating it bogs down. Dangerous when you need pull out in traffic. Took it to dealership at least 5 times. They checked codes. Never could get it to repeat at dealerships.”
