1 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/27/2020

While I was driving at a speed of 50 mph the reduced engine power signal came on and it started to lose power and powered down to 18mph and would not go any faster causing me to almost get rear ended, I had took in to repair shop right away, they put it on the scanner and told me that I it was a throttle body issue so I got that fixed the next day the check engine light came on again so I took it back and then they said the timing chain needed to be fixed and then they said to look and see if it was a recalled issue because with only 102,000 miles I had researched and I see a lot of complaints about the same issue with my SUV and no recalls, the shop said its a big jobs and its going to cost over 3,000 dollars and the car is only worth 4500 at the present time, also my stability control light stays on they I had already got that fixed on and the light went off but now it is back on the shop said it is due to the poor design on Cadillac's part from the small magnetic ring that is attached to the bearing, I have researched this also and I see a lot of complaints about this and again no recall, also when starting my SUV all my panels don't work and if I power down my windows it is very very slow to come back up I have to shut my car off and restart it for everything to work again , I had researched this and a lot of complaints but again no recall, also the front head light are constantly fogging up again bad design on Cadillac I researched this and again a lot of complaint as well, but no recalls it seem that the 2010 Cadillac Srx has a lot of defect and nothing is being done about it also this stuff is very dangers and safety issues that are not being addressed and somebody is going to end up dead or is that what Cadillac waits for before recalling, it could of been very bad for me if I did end up getting rear ended I was very lucky.

2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2019

The check engine light came on, then it would go off, on again, off again. The code was p000017. They said the timing chain needed to be fixed. This caused a recall in the 2004-2009 Srxs and yet I see there are multiple complaints for the same thing for the 2010s and no recall. There are only 113k miles on this car, that's about 13k per year, mainly highway miles. This should not happen. Cadillac dealer wanted to charge me $3800 when without this issue, the car is only worth about $4500. I truly think there should be a recall for this issue as it seems around this mileage, this issue happens based on research that I did.

My 2010 Cadillac Srx4 with 110,000 miles just had the check engine light come illuminate. �as I pulled out of my driveway on to a city street the next morning to go to the gm dealership to have the car scanned, the vehicle would only travel at 10 mph. I was almost rear ended by the vehicle coming behind me. I pulled off the road, waited for traffic to clear and took off slowly. After traveling about 200 feet, the vehicle began to operate as normal. However, the same scenario occurred at the next stoplight. I had the car scanned and the code came up as p000017. �I was informed that the timing chain would need to be replaced. �the estimated price to repair my car would be $ 2,200. 00. �I have been to numerous sites and forums and discovered that this is a common problem with these engines. �gm acknowledge this problem with the previous generation Srx model but has yet to acknowledge the problem with 2010 model year vehicles. �gm's customer service team simply states that gm is sorry and says that you are welcome to register a complaint with the national highway traffic safety administration. �they offered and assigned a case number to myself which basically acknowledged that I called gm. �how many more gm automobiles do you think I will purchase?.

5 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2018

Bought vehicle used from southfield quality cars detroit in oct 2017 at 96673 miles. At 100,000 miles check engine light has come on and a code scanner obd2 used has reported a p0017 code that translates to one of three things. 1. Oil drain tube interior engine blocked 2. Sensors 3 timing chain. Have done engine flush, reset code, code came back on next day same code p0017. Why is there no gm recall on this vehicle? took to a repair shop, they replaced sensors, code came back on in a week. Present mileage 106353. Gm dealers want $2900 to fix. My warranty issued by dealer is a gwc warranty. They will not fix/take engine apart to look at timing chain unless something breaks. If timing chain breaks there goes my motor. This is supposed to be a gm flagship vehicle? help!.

6 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2010

One of first new Srxs sold in 2009. Started with intermittent failure of power windows, followed by failure of nav/radio display and eventually replaced. Then issues with back-up camera screen would not pop up during reverse so could not see or use camera. Technicians unable to diagnose problems because the connection port to car's computer failed. Seats ripped out and connection rebuilt. Auto rear tailgate with safety sense close failed as I reached into get package out as tailgate went up. Supports failed causing tailgate to crash down on me trapping me with legs out back of car. Not only did supports strut fail but safety close mechanism failed. Wife had to manually release and raise tailgate to free me. Then ac failed on way back from long trip. Computer issue and part failure according to dealer. Camera and info screen locked up again and was repaired. Two weeks ago while traveling on highway approx. 65 mph engine started shaking completely out of sync with cylinders banging and decrease engine power light came on. Without warning and not hitting brakes suddenly lost speed and was almost run over by truck behind us because of abrupt deceleration. Barely had enough power to get off and up exit ramp. Turned out to be computer failure for engine. Last weekend while backing up watching mother and child through back-up camera pass behind me , camera failed screen went blank but still showed park assist symbols. Screen would not clear but symbols frozen on screen when shifted into drive. Went to home depot came out , car would not sense remote unable to start. Had same issue 1 year previous and remotes replaced. Put remote everywhere in car still could not start. Asked Cadillac to ensure me car was safe . They said they could not. Asked to get another car until end of lease or out of lease. They said no. I am worried car may have safety failure.
