Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers.

Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

2015 Cadillac SRX with 87,397 has a failed Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) or ABS module. It can be made available for inspection upon request. Alexander Cadillac of Oxnard refuses to repair it stating a replacement part is no longer available (it can be repaired by a specialty repair company). They cite liability by using after market or repaired parts. Without a functioning EBCM - ABS,power steering and traction control do not work which puts me and others at risk. Worse, the failed EBCM is now causing the car to go into "limp mode", which cuts power to the engine and prevent acceleration. When making a turn onto a street, it suddenly went into limp mode and I was almost hit by an approaching semi-truck. The problem was identified by Alexander of Oxnard service center - but they refuse to make any effort to remedy the problem. There are multiple blogs on the internet citing similar systemic issues with the EBCM that is no longer manufactured but can be repaired by a specialty shop. Lights on the dash first started to appear in September 2024. Lights include ABS, Brake and traction control / stability light. New lights started to appear in June 2025 including Check Engine, headlamp and auto-parking symbols. Alexander Cadillac of Oxnard cites that the EBCM is drawing too much current and causing issues to other systems on the car - a cascading effect. I am very afraid to drive the car and fear that it will lose power when needed, stall or the brakes will lock up.

I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I ENTERED A ONE-LANE ELEVATED EXIT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND WHILE GOING 50 MPH, WAS TRYING TO TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AT ITS SWITCH. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND WHEN I PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I TRIED THIS MORE THAN ONCE. I HAD DIFFICULTY MAINTAINING CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER GETTING OFF THE EXIT, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP BY PLACING IT IN NEUTRAL. I WAS NOW AT THE ENTRYWAY TO DFW AIRPORT AND HAD MY VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON I HOPED THAT MAYBE I COULD DRIVE IT TO A PARKING SPOT, AS TO CALL A WRECKER AT THAT MOMENT WOULD CAUSE ME TO LOSE MY EXPENSIVE TICKET FOR AN OVERSEAS FLIGHT. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, I TRIED TO TAKE OFF TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND FOUND THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED SO I PULLED BACK ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TRIED THIS AGAIN AND REALIZED THAT MY FOOT DID NOT REACH THE ACCELERATOR AS IT NORMALLY DOES. NOT ONLY HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO TURN OFF BUT THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOW STUCK DOWN. I HIT THE ACCELERATOR WITH THE HEEL OF MY FOOT AND IT DISLODGED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT. UPON MY RETURN I HAD THE CAR TOWED AS I WAS FEARFUL OF DRIVING IT.
