general problems of the 2008 Cadillac SRX

When driving the acceleration is slow to pick up. The engine light came on and when I took it to get check the code p0008 came up. That's when you have an issue with the engine module detecting a problem with the timing between the crankshaft and bank 1 crankshaft.

We were stopped at a traffic light, when the engine made a very loud, harsh noise and began racing at a high rev. Even with brakes fully applied, we were propelled into the intersection; tried to jamb the gear shift into neutral, but could not in time. We were struck from the left front and the vehicle was knocked onto the right side. Minor injuries, treated and released at the emergency room. Vehicle was totaled.

Leased vehicle from Cadillac dealer in mobile al in oct 2007. Had problems right away gauges would quit working. Dealer said couldnt repeat problems. May 2008 moving to TX, while attempting to enter I-10 from rest stop, engine quit running, no power steering, or brakes. Managed to get off road. After 5 minutes started again. Dealers in la and TX coulnt duplicate problem. Car continued to quit running off and on. Batteries burned up on 2 occasions, technicians suspected bad harness but coulnt locate problem. Returned to al in 2009, took car to dealer told them to fix, replace or take back. They said couldnt duplicate so I left the car with them as an unsafe vehicle.
