general problems of the 2008 Cadillac SRX

This concerns the airbag warning sencer light.

This complaint is a continuation of complaint bin23-53927 and describes the findings of the transmission disassembly. Disassembly was delayed due to medical treatment unrelated to this incident. Transmission failed suddenly in high volume "rush" hour traffic. Torque was lost just before an exit allowing the vehicle to exit without power however the vehicle stopped in middle lane of a service road. On coming vehicles had to brake behind the vehicle. Sudden transmission failure in heavy high speed traffic presents a high risk of rear collision with multiple vehicles and injury. Furthermore, if the transmission fluid pump had not failed, the transmission could have lock-up or exhibited high speed down shifting, due to failure of other parts. This incident should not be dismissed because there was no accident or personal injury. Some mother with children could easily have a different out come on a crowded large city highway. No computer codes were displayed. 5lte-40 5-speed automatic transmission. Disassembly of the transmission revealed excessive metal particles and debris. The transmission fluid pump failed which caused loss of torque due to inadequate fluid levels in the torque converter. Clogging of the fluid "pick-up" filter also probably contributed to reduced fluid flow and failure of the fluid pump. A non-metallic washer was found to have disintegrated, allowing fragments to circulate in the transmission. The washer separated 2 splined drums. Disintegration of the washer allowed excessive movement and contact of the drums. Recommend GMC be contacted to obtain their comment on failure of these transmissions, as well as statistical review of incident reports to determine if failures are statistically greater than in the automotive industry, in general. The 5lte-40 and other transmissions have no traditional "dip stick" to measure transmission fluid level and contam.

When driving home from a 2 hour trip in snowy conditions, the car started making a noise from the engine just as we pulled onto our road but no warning lights came on. We did not drive the vehicle and had it towed to the mechanic. The mechanic changed oil and filter and says he doesn't know what is wrong without going through the entire engine to find the problem. Took it to another mechanic who said it is not keeping oil pressure, the camshafts are misfiring and he thinks the timing chain is an issue. They both said it needs a new engine and it has just under 85,000 miles.

Weaving in between cars without signaling, tailgating every car she came behind. She tried to cut people off. She tired to pull in front of people using nonexistent lanes. Speeding and vulgar hand gestures.

Srx was driven earlier in the day without incident. Parked at home, then 6 hours later car door opened and panoramic sunroof main panel exploded, the shattered glass was caught by the retractable headliner.

While driving on our driveway, (no trees, rocks, debris, etc) the center portion of the moonroof imploded into the car. The shade was pulled trapping most of the glass shards from entering the vehicle. Nothing could have possibly hit the glass and I was traveling 5 mph or less, coming to a stop at the end of our driveway. I have read many complaints online of this occurring and think it is a manufacturer defect as this portion of the glass covers the motors/mechanism that controls the moonroof. The temperatures were not extreme and the car had not been driven prior to the incident. We have owned the vehicle for almost 3 years and are now concerned about the other 2 glass roof panels being defective as well. A very unnerving experience and we are just thankful no one was injured, but could see the potential for injury.

I was driving my Srx back to work on airport rd in waterford michigan at 40mph. There was no traffic within view of me when all of the sudden my sunroff exploded dropping glass all over my interior and myself. I was unharmed other than a few very small pieces scratching my arm. I looked on the internet to find that this has happened to other owners however when I and other have called gm to discuss the problem we all get the same answer. "I have never heard of that happening" I believe that this is yet another manufacturer problem with gm and they are dodging it.

One Sunday, I drove the vehicle to the grocery store, parked and couldn't get the keys out of the ignition and the vehicle would not go all the way into park. I took the car to the dealer and it was fixed but the key will still get stuck from time to time and I have to put the car in neutral and then slam it into park in order to get the key out of ignition,.

I was at dick russell's in the resturant waiting for my daughter and son-in-law, so we could have supper. We had been there about 5 - 10 minutes, 2 waitress came in and asked if we owned the Cadillac, I said yes, waitress said your moon roof just exploded. I am so glad we were not in the car when it exploded.
