general problems of the 2013 Cadillac SRX

I am having transmission problems. My transmission accelerates late.

While car was running it started jerking and it would not go faster than 20mph. When car came to a stop it turned off. When starting the car before it starts running it would jerk again and slowing go up to max 30mph.

Takata recall about 2 weeks ago, I notice while driving that I'm loosing the acceleration. The front gausr of rpm is not consistent. We can feel the engine is having trouble going forwrd evry time I punch in the gas pedal. My passanger and I can feel the acceleration bit chocking. So, I brought it some mechanics & they says possible time chain problem. They diagnose the car and here some of the code came out. P0011, p0014, p0016, p0018, p0021. At first, they thought of changing the camshaft sensors and crankshaft sensors maybe it would resolve the problem but it didn't. They suggest to call the Cadillac dealer possible for recalls. I drive my car daily to work, from merced to lathrop, that's about 120 miles back and fort. I used to drive my car from merced to frement from the past 4years everyday but I got tranfer to lathrop about 2 years now.

I purchased a 2013 Srx used in January of 2017 and on several occasions today being the latest, after coming to a complete stop at 4-way intersections, when I try to press the gas pedal and move into the intersection the car coasts without power and leaves me stranded for a few seconds. With the gas pedal pressed all the way to the floor the vehicle all of a sudden bolts forward causing the vehicle "peel out". Being stranded in the intersection is scary and I am afraid I will be hit. This is a safety concern, but it does not happen on a consistent basis for the dealership to locate the problem. I see on the internet several other concerns that sound very similar to this.

The 3 to 4 second lag in acceleration has returned. Dealer will do nothing because there is not another recall.

The contact owns a 2013 Cadillac Srx. While driving at any speed, the vehicle lost power without warning and the engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The spark plugs were replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer again where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 13v097000 (electrical system, power train). The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

1st event on 9/6/entering freeway at 45 mph, increased acceleration to merge and the engine suddenly lagged with zero power for 2-3 seconds when the car tried to shift into the next gear. 2nd event 9-11-accelerated from a stop. Operated properly through 1st and 2nd gear. When the transmission shifted into 3rd gear, the engine lagged/lost power. Accelerator continued to be depressed and 2-3 seconds later, full power came back. Additional event Aug-2014: a passing maneuver required hard acceleration which resulted in a lag when the transmission tried to shift into a passing gear. Again we had zero power with the engine dropping to idle for at least 3 seconds and then suddenly coming back up to speed. Note: we've had the car reprogrammed per NHTSA recall 14132 in June 2014. This is the same symptoms but occurring at much higher speeds and gear selection. Car is unsafe as the power loss could've resulted in a rear end collision.

Acceleration problem starting from stop light (3)and turning right on a red light after a full stop. (1) in all cases car was accelerated from a fully stopped position. About 10 feet into the acceleration the car stopped accelerating for 2-4 secs then abruptly accelerated as commanded lurching forward. These events were random without any warning lights being illuminated during the event. Being an unknown condition a driver could expose the vehicle to an accident because of its shut down on acceleration.

I had come to a stop to turn left. I was waiting for the traffic to clear, when there was adequate distance between cars, I pushed on the gas pedal and nothing happened. The car just stood still, no lights came on, no warnings, no engine rev, nothing happened for about 3-4 secs. However, by this point the cars were closing in on me and finally after I let off the pedal and slammed down on it again, my Srx moved and cleared the road way. It was very scary to be sitting there and expecting the car to move when the gas pedal is depressed and nothing happens.

I was driving on a side road, came to a busy road stop sign, stopped, went to turn right and lost acceleration power for approximately 5 seconds. My car just coasted into the direction I was turning my steering wheel. No power! fortunately, at the time, there no cars coming close enough, to make my vehicle a hazard. But, if the conditions were different, I certainly would have been in danger. The power picked back up after a few seconds, and I had acceleration power again. The same scenario has happened 4 times now, always after stopping and then trying to accelerate, and losing power for a few seconds, approx. 5 seconds. It began on 10/13/13, then 11/4/13, 1/3/14. And 2/3/14. I bought this 2013 Cadillac Srx luxury brand new on 4/20/13.

When entering the street from my driveway, the transmission failed to engage for four to five seconds. This has happened several times. When I took the vehicle in to galles & davis in albuquerque, they said the problem was due to an electronic acceleration system and that nothing culd be done.
