general problems of the 2004 Cadillac SRX

While sitting at a friend's house on a hill my brakes went completely out once I hit them they went to the floor and we eended up hitting a tree stump that saved us from going off a steep cliff to possibly hurting each and everyone of us in the car.

Tl the contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that the transmission engaged the traction control independently and the vehicle would brake and drive at the same time. An abnormal screeching sound was heard when the failures occurred. There were no warning indicators illuminated; however, the message "stability system engaged" appeared. The vehicle was not towed. The vehicle was taken to ed bozarth Chevrolet (5501 drexel road, las vegas, nv 89130, (702) 948-8011), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 123,000.

I have a 2004 Srx awd. I always get the "stability system engaged" message with some vibration and vehicle rear side goes left side and after little time its goes away . Sometimes when I step on the brake I would get a grunting sound then the "griding" from brake pedal. It happens on when vehicle speed is more than 40 mph & few times I almost hit another vehicle in other lane.

The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that the front and rear brakes made an abnormal noise. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who replaced the bearings, cvc joints, a rotor on the front driver's side, and two rotors in the rear. Months later, the abnormal noise returned. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic who was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The contact was unable to determine if the vehicle was included or excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 04v151000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact was to check with the manufacturer. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

In march2013 I almost had an accident because my brakes would not stop the vehicle, I swerved over to the side and hit the curb a bit. I bought the car in Feb 2012. It always had the system balance light to come on so I decided to take it to see what was wrong with it. I took it to general motors in omha nebraksa 114th Dodge street. They test drove it and said they did not find anything wrong with it except that I needed new rotors and brakes. I told them about this recall and how my brake problem falls into this and they said they looked up my VIN number and that it was already fixed. I said well this needs to be done over because this could potentially could cause an accident. They explained that my brakes needed to be fixed. I disagree here is the recall infor which certainly is what is happening to my car. I dont even have to touch my brakes for the computer to take over the car and cause it to go off balance and cause swerving service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module recall number: 04v151000 recall date: 03/29/2004 problem summary: on certain passenger vehicles equipped with all wheel drive, the antilock brake system (abs) may improperly temporarily isolate the driver from the foundation brake system for a maximum of 1. 25 seconds. Consequence: this can cause in an increase in braking distance, which could result in a crash. Corrective action: dealers will reprogram the abs traction control system controller. Owner notification began on may 10, 2004. Owners should contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. The manufacturer first notified owners of this recall on 05/10/2004. This recall affects vehicles manufactured between 03/01/2003 and 01/31/2004.

On several occasions the stability system has engaged on its own, causing my car to brake on its own and swerve and skid to the right and left, brakes shudder and goes from 70 mph to 30 in a few seconds. . . It has happened at different speeds in different climate conditions. The message on screen says stability system engaged, then traction engaged, which I have turned off. I brought my car into a dealer after the first experience and they replaced the stability system sensor, at a cost near $600 to me! a couple weeks went by with nothing wrong, we moved across texas and now its happening daily!!! the dealerships don't know what is wrong and 'havent heard any complaints like mine', which I find very hard to believe after reading the complaints listed here and in other blogs/websites!! this is a very dangerous problem that gm really needs to fix, I drive my kids around in this car and depend on it to get me to and from work safely not veering me off road possibly causing a major accident!!! I like many other people work hard to pay my car note and cant afford $600 'fixes' that dont fix!!!.

The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated while traveling 5 mph, the electronic stability control warning light illuminated as the brakes erroneously engaged. The contact was able to merge to the side of the road to restart the vehicle. Upon restarting the vehicle, it began to function normally however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was able to be driven to the contact's destination. The vehicle was not taken to a mechanic or dealer and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about this issue. The failure and current mileages were 39,011.

Every time I start my car I get service brake assist and service stability sys" and I called my mechanic and he said he has read a lot of complaints about this. After researching I did not want to go spend a lot of time and money since it seams no one has the answer to our problem. My car seams to run good it is just scary to think there might be something really wrong with my car. I hope you guys can get the answer to our problem [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The brake booster supply hose degrades and falls off resulting in no power assist. This can happen with no prior warning and result in property damage and or bodily injury or death. This vehicle is a 2004 Cadillac Srx with a engine code 'a' but other models may be affected.
