I bought the Srx used in September and since then I have had one issue after another. If I accelerate too quickly my transmission, (I think), has a very loud ratcheting/popping sound. My service suspension system error msg comes on every time I start my vehicle. I have read that this could be related to the air compressor not working or faulty sensors. My service stability system error msg also comes on every time I start my vehicle. This seems to cause the traction control feature to mess up, which then on occasion when I press my brakes, even slightly, my brakes lock up and I skid for just a second. My power steering fluid seems to continually leak or the pump is bad. I have refilled my resovoir many times and I constantly have a very loud "whining" sound. My power steering system also seems to go out occasionally and my vehicle is very difficult to turn.
My wife was driving her 2004 Srx with only 70000 miles. She was traveling at 65 mph when the brakes suddenly started activating and the car swerved to the side almost causing an accident. The error message displayed was service stability on the console. After she told what had happened , I went on the internet and found that too many owners of 2004 Srx experienced the same problem. The dealer ended up replacing the sensor on the steering column. From reading and experiencing this problem I wonder how long will it be before someone gets seriously hurt. I think this problem justifies looking into because it is occuring too many 2004 Srx (edmunds. Com has a lot of complaints).
