The car makes a knocking noise from the engine and in order to drive, you have to hold in the traction control button. I was told that the connecting rod broke and has to be repaired & I believe that should be a recall with the engine.

2010 CADILLAC SRX "SERVICE STABILITRAC" LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR THE LAST YEAR. I'VE HAD THE SHOP WHO RAN THE CODE. THE CODE CAME BACK AS POSSIBLE FAIL BUT INCONCLUSIVE. THE MECHANIC CHECKED ALL FUSES AND ENTIRE BREAKING SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING IN NEED OF REPAIR AND ALL SYSTEMS WORKING PROPERLY. TO REPLACE THE PART THAT "MAYBE CAUSING" THE WARNING TO COME ON WOULD COST ME UP TO $1200.

STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON AND STAYS ON. WHILE ON AND MAKING A SHARP TURN FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE TRYING TO GRIP THE ROAD LIKE THERE'S NO TRACTION. THIS HAPPENS ON SUNNY DAYS WITH NO PRECIPITATION. ALSO CAN NOT PICK UP SPEED. THE STABILITRAK WARNINGS BEEN ON NOW FOR 2 WEEKS SINCE THE LAST TIME IT RAINED. I FIND I'M BURNING GAS QUICKER SINCE IT'S ON. ALSO SOMETIMES MY TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. IT HAPPENS MAINLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND GOES BACK DOWN TO 1ST GEAR BUT WHEN I ACCELERATE IT WON'T SHIFT BACK UP. IT ALSO DROPS BACK INTO FIRST WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED-NOT SLOWING DOWN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IN PARK THEN PUT BACK IN DRIVE IN ORDER FOR IT TO SHIFT GEARS. IT'S SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE THE RPM'S SHOOT WAY UP AND I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE BUT I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I'VE SEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY UNFAIR. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2016. *TR

Oct 22, 2015

I TOOK MY 2010 SRX INTO DEALERSHIP DUE TO A LOUD ROARING NOISE AND VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE AT 50-60 MPH. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND VEHICLE ALIGNED. TIRES HAD LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON THEM. ALL TIRES WERE REPLACED AND VEHICLE ALIGNED ($1000.00+). APPROXIMATELY 2 - 3 WEEKS LATER, I NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER IN THE VEHICLE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND SHOOK LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. THIS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. STABILITY TRAC LIGHT COME ON DURING THIS TIME BUT THEN WENT OUT. 05.01.15, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER TO ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH AND HAS AN AWFUL ROARING NOISE. 05.05.15, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP & IS CURRENTLY THERE. RECEIVED CALL FROM DEALERSHIP THAT THE WHEEL HUB BEARINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED @ $1,100.00+. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS SOLUTION & DO NOT BELIEVE IS WILL FIX THE CURRENT ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE, AS I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A BEARING ISSUE @ 70K MILES. I NOW BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING MORE WAS WRONG TO HAVE CAUSED MY TIRES TO HAVE WORN SO QUICKLY AND POORLY. FURTHER, THERE IS MOISTURE BUILDUP IN BOTH OF MY HEADLAMPS THAT I PREDICT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS AFTER READING PREVIOUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS WITHOUT GMS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. *TR
