“When entering the street from my driveway, the transmission failed to engage for four to five seconds. This has happened several times. When I took the vehicle in to galles & davis in albuquerque, they said the problem was due to an electronic acceleration system and that nothing culd be done.”
NHTSA complaint #10548146, filed 2013-10, 1,477 miles“I purchased my 2013 SRX at the end of march 2013. On more than 4 occasions I have been at a stop. When I press the accelerator the car coasts slightly but does not go. I pull off the accelerator and push the accelerator again. After repeating this process, and several seconds later the vehicle will slowly move. I had it in the dealership in january and they could not find anything wrong. It has happened several times again including twice within the last week and I have scheduled another appointment for next week.”
NHTSA complaint #10575497, filed 2014-03, 8,500 miles“I purchased a 2013 SRX used in january of 2017 and on several occasions today being the latest, after coming to a complete stop at 4-way intersections, when I try to press the gas pedal and move into the intersection the car coasts without power and leaves me stranded for a few seconds. With the gas pedal pressed all the way to the floor the vehicle all of a sudden bolts forward causing the vehicle peel out . Being stranded in the intersection is scary and I am afraid I will be hit. This is a safety concern, but it does not happen on a consistent basis for the dealership to locate the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11022534, filed 2017-09, 51,000 miles“I had a loss of acceleration occur on thanksgiving day. I was driving down a residential road at about 25mph when I came to the stop sign at the end of the road where I was turning right. I coasted up to the stop sign and looked to the left and it was clear and then proceeded to turn right. I pressed on the gas and it very slowly moved me into the lane and then stopped, it would not move at all. I depressed the gas all the way down and nothing happened. I didn't hear the engine rev as if it was in neutral or anything, it was just like it was dead. …”
NHTSA complaint #10554757, filed 2013-12, 1,521 miles“The first incident was on 08/22/2013 I was at a stoplight about to turn right- I depressed the gas pedal and went forward slightly, but then the vehicle stopped and there was absolutely no acceleration. I had to jam the gas pedal to the floor and even then the vehicle only got up to 20 MPH in approximately 100 yards. It took the vehicle approx. 3-5 seconds to respond at all. The vehicle had approx. 1150 miles on it. There were no warning lights that came on in the vehicle. The engine did not rev up or do anything. I was almost rear ended on this occasion. …”
