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.
