The contact owns a 2011 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that while making a left or right turn the vehicle changed gears. The vehicle shifted from third to sixth gear when the contacts foot was taken off of the accelerator and also the vehicle would lose power while down shifting. The vehicle was responding as if it had no connection between the transmission and the engine. When the brakes were applied the vehicle also lunged forward because the gear shifted out of position. The dealer said that the failure was dangerous, but that was how the vehicle was designed. The contact was given a loaner vehicle while the dealer speaks to the manufacturer to see what could be done to correct the problem. The failure and current mileages were 700.
While driving my 2011 Cadillac Srx, awd premium edition with less than 1000 miles on the odometer I experienced this problem. Driving at interstate speed with the cruise control set at 74 mph. The transmission suddenly felt like it shifted itself into neutral, tachometer red lined at 6950 rpm, and I lost all forward drive. While still in auto mode with drive gear selected the vehicle had no response to throttle input. The vehicle began to slow leaving me in a very dangerous position of trying to get to the shoulder without getting ran over by oncoming traffic upon safely exiting the interstate I contacted onstar for an instant vehicle diagnostic. The tech instructed me that he was viewing 3 separate problem codes 1-motor, 2-transmission. After the tech advised me that I could drive the vehicle I choose to stay on two lane less traveled roadway to attempt to get to the dealer for a diagnostic. After two days the dealer contacted me to advise they could not duplicate the problem, they were in contact with gm powertrain division through out the repair attempt. The vehicle was returned to me after two days. After driving the vehicle for an additional two weeks with the same problem still occurring I again returned the vehicle to the dealer with the same complaint. After several days the dealer called to inform me that gm powertrain instructed them to remove the transmission, and transaxle assembly and return it to them, and that they would be replacing it with a brand new assembly.
