2004 Cadillac SRX had emissions recall work completed in 2008. Since that time GM and Cadillac have had numerous recalls in subsequent model years with the same issue. Emissions problems have reoccurred. The problem is actually not being fixed if it keeps reoccurring. This affects the air we breathe. Vehicle has been inspected.

ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX, IT STARTED JERKING AND MAKING A LOUD CLICKING OR POPPING SOUND, LATER FOUND OUT THAT A FEW SPROCKETS INSIDE THE TRANSFER CASE HAD BROKE OFF AND THE CHAIN? WAS SLIPPING. THIS WAS THE REAR, THE CARLOTS MECHANIC FIXED IT, THEN THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE THROTTLE BODY INTAKE HAD TO BE OPENED AND CLEANED BECAUSE IT WASNT OPENING LIKE IT IS DESIGNED TO DO, AND SO THE EXHAUST WAS GETTING TRAPPED IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. ONE SUMMER DAY IN TRAFFIC IT CUT OFF ALL POWER, WE ENDED UP GETTING IT STARTED AGAIN TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD, AND IT GOT US BACK HOME, THAT WAS A YEAR AGO AND IT HASNT RAN SINCE. ALSO IF YOU HAD TRACTION CONTROL TURNED ON, THE ABS WOULD APPLY THEMSELVES WHICH SOMETIMES FELT UNSAFE. ALWAYS GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SAYING TO SERVICE THE STABLITRAX SYSTEM OR TO REPAIR THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE TIRE THINGS THAT TELL YOU HOW MUCH AIR IS IN EACH TIRE, WE HAD 1 THAT DIDNT REGISTER AT ALL. THE SUNROOF SHADE WAS SHUT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND IN TRAFFIC IT SPRUNG OPEN FAST AND LOUD AND IT WAS A SCARY SITE WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT AND YOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS SEVERAL RECALLS ISSUED AND FIXED, SO MANY HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER, SOME LIFE THREATENING AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE, IF LIKE ME LOW INCOME THEY DONT WANT TO GO THRU BUYING ANOTHER CAR THEY WANT THEIR CADILLAC SRX FIXED SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET USE OF WHAT THEY PAID FOR. THE CAR LOT TOLD ME TO USE UNLEADED GASOLINE BUT THE BOOK SAYS TO USE PREMIUM, CAN GM CLEAR THIS UP PLEASE!!

DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD IMMEDIATELY STARTED LOSING POWER. THE TC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ALSO, THE STABILITY SYSTEM CHECK CAME ON. TRY TO RESET BUT TESTED IT ACCORDING TO MANUAL AND AS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND STAY ON. PURCHASED VEHICLE IN APRIL 2017 AND ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER SEEMS TO HAPPEN. HOW DO I KNOW RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED? WHEN ON LOOK UP ON NHTSA SHOWS THERE ARE NO UNFIXED RECALLS BUT I BELIEVE THEY'VE NEVER BEEN FIXED. ALSO, AFTER RAINY DAYS IF YOU LIFT UP TAILGATE WATER COMES POURING OUT.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN, AND THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER CAME UP ON THE SCREEN. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 70 MILES PER, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WENT DOWN ALL THE WAY TO 20 MILES PER HOUR, I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT LOST POWER THEN IT SHUT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR ANOTHER VEHICLE COULD HIT ME ACROSS THE FREEWAY. THIS ALSO HAPPENED NOVEMBER 3, 2017, AS I WAS ROLLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE CUT OFF IN MOTION. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE LOSING POWER WITHOUT NO NOTIFICATION TO THE DRIVER UNTIL IT HAPPENS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THESE 2004 SRX CADILLAC VEHICLES. ALSO THE SCREENS CONSTANTLY SAYS CHECK STABILITY SYSTEM, OR REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL. PLEASE THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

HAVING JUST RECEIVED A FULL CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH FROM A ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AT PLAZA TIRE AUTO SERVICE 1 DAY BEFORE, AND HAVING HAD 1200 DOLLARS OF SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENTS BY THE AFOREMENTIONED BUSINESS THE SAME DAY, A VERY SERIOUS ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW HAS BEEN FOUND. WITHOUT HERETOFORE ANY WARNING OR SYMPTOMS WHATSOEVER, THE POWER STEERING PUMP SEIZED (PUMP HAD BEEN CHECKED BY MECHANIC AND WAS FULL AND IN WORKING ORDER, AS WERE ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT REQUIRING FLUIDS). THIS CAUSED THE IDLER PULLEY TO SELF DESTROY THE MOUNTING BY WHICH IT IS ATTACHED TO THE NORTHSTAR ENGINE BLOCK. THIS MOUNTING POINT, RATHER THAN CONSISTING OF A WHOLLY SEPARATE MOUNTING OR TIMING COVER, IS IN FACT PART OF THE CAST ALUMINUM ENGINE BLOCK ITSELF. THIS RENDERS THE PART IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX, AND REQUIRES THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED BY ME!!! THIS IS NOT ONLY UNACCEPTABLE OF A GM PRODUCT WITH ONLY 131000 MILES ON IT, IT IS OBSCENE FROM AN ENGINEERING AND DESIGN STANDPOINT. IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL STEERING CAPABILITIES.

WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND MY TRUCK START MAKING A LOUD RATTLING / THUMPING NOISE. ONCE THE 2004 SRX CHANGE GEARS THEN THE VEHICLE IS ROLLING WITH NO PROBLEM. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO CADILLAC AND I HAVE PAPERWORK THAT SAY I NEED A BEARING HUB ON THE LEFT TIRE THINKING THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE ON BOTH PASSENGER HUBS AND STILL THE NOISE IS THERE. I WENT TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS AND SOME SAY THE TRANSFER CASE OR THE CHAIN IS SLIPPING. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF FEBRUARY FROM A USED CAR LOT NOT KNOWING WHAT I WAS GETTING MYSELF INTO. I'M AFRAID TO HAVE MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK WITH ME BECAUSE WHEN I TAKE OFF FAST THE KNOCKING WILL START. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND GO SLOW UNTIL THE TRUCK PICK UP THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SPEED TO STOP FROM HEARING THE KNOCKING NOISE. IF I'M AT A STOP SIGN OR A LIGHT I HAVE TO TAKE OFF REAL, REAL SLOW SO I WANT HEAR THE NOISE. I HATE STOPPING BECAUSE I FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL HIT ME FROM BEHIND FOR GOING SO SLOW. IT'S VERY ANNOYING WHEN YOUR SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON A VEHICLE AND PAYING A NOTE AND THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVE YET. *TR
