general problems of the 2015 Cadillac SRX

Nothing has happened yet, however, we just bought this vehicle and the stabilitrack light came on 2 days after we bought it. We took it to a mechanic and it coded c056d, brake module hardware fault. He said that "the Cadillac must go to the dealership, 2010-2016 Srx's have brake control module problems and they don't make the module anymore so it has to be removed and sent off for rebuild then programmed to the car. " how in the world can Cadillac have a known problem, and quit making the part that fixes it? if you get on Cadillac forums, it is all they talk about on these models. Cadillac should be held responsible for fixing this problem for thousands of Cadillac owners so that we can drive with no braking problems!! we just got a bid from our closest Cadillac dealership and the cost to rebuild the part is $2000, labor $1000 and we would be without a car for 2 weeks!!!.

2015 Cadillac Srx with 87,397 has a failed electronic brake control module (ebcm) or abs module. It can be made available for inspection upon request. Alexander Cadillac of oxnard refuses to repair it stating a replacement part is no longer available (it can be repaired by a specialty repair company). They cite liability by using after market or repaired parts. Without a functioning ebcm - abs,power steering and traction control do not work which puts me and others at risk. Worse, the failed ebcm is now causing the car to go into "limp mode", which cuts power to the engine and prevent acceleration. When making a turn onto a street, it suddenly went into limp mode and I was almost hit by an approaching semi-truck. The problem was identified by alexander of oxnard service center - but they refuse to make any effort to remedy the problem. There are multiple blogs on the internet citing similar systemic issues with the ebcm that is no longer manufactured but can be repaired by a specialty shop. Lights on the dash first started to appear in September 2024. Lights include abs, brake and traction control / stability light. New lights started to appear in June 2025 including check engine, headlamp and auto-parking symbols. Alexander Cadillac of oxnard cites that the ebcm is drawing too much current and causing issues to other systems on the car - a cascading effect. I am very afraid to drive the car and fear that it will lose power when needed, stall or the brakes will lock up.

The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the abs module warning light illuminated. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the abs module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that parts were no longer being manufactured to replace the part. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.

This vehicle has had an intermittent (for a few years) issue with all of the warning lights (abs,stabilitrak,parking brake,steering) coming on when starting. If you tried to drive it, you would have no power steering causing the vehicle difficult to handle. This would not happen every time it was started. We took the car to the local Cadillac dealership and were told nothing was wrong and it was just the system going through the electronic check system and to just not put it in gear until after the lights cleared. That actually did work sometimes. Recently, it came off and would never go off. We took it to a shop that does other work on other vehicles for me. He found that the electronic brake control module was bad. He tried to source a replacement one but found that it was discontinued with no alternate part. He did find a used one which we are waiting on to be delivered and then installed. My first concern is that if this happened when my wife was driving she could lose control of the vehicle causing an accident. My second concern is how can gm discontinue a known problem (I found multiple forums discussing this issue) part with no replacement. The vehicle is 10 years old with only 75k miles. I have read this has been an issue for quite a few years.

Vehicle lurches from 0-20mph since purchase of vehicle from greenbelt caddillac. Vehicle only serviced there until no longer in business. Shifter linkage cable issue assumed. Parking brake disengages prior to switch depress. In automatic mode, when switched to manual, shifter does not highlight that it is engaged in shifter box. Dashboard shows change in transmission function. Camshaft position sensor bank 1 code returned around 100-120k+ miles after 2 flat tires and suspension serviced by caliber collision. Onstar taking control of vehicle suspected of causing timing belt to skip timing supported by Chevrolet ourisman of bowie. Paid $800-1000 to ourisman for service and diagnostic. Ourisman suggested engine needed to be opened to fully inspect or replaced for $6-8000. A piece of the sensor was claimed to have broken off and fallen into lower engine manifold. Vehicle would rev when stopped and putter to halt. Vehicle would start and stick in second gear up to 40mph until stopping and refusing to start. Engine replacement evaluation reconfirmed by foreign auto parts of annapolis, MD after explanation. Chevrolet of silver spring attempted to buy car for $100 after suspect inspection. Declined. 3 new sensors were changed manually though did not turn off the check engine light, still returning bank 1 camshaft sensor. Eventually vehicle towed to mz auto repair 9500 allentown rd, fort washington. Engine swapped, battery changed and check engine light cleared. Vehicle ran for 2000-3000 miles until check engine light returned with same code bank 1 camshaft position sensor. Vehicle presumed tampered with during lifetime of use however original lurch during engagement of powertrain implicates feigned manufacturer defect or original Cadillac of greenbelt.

My 2015 Cadillac Srx4 developed an issue with the electronic brake control module which produced the following dash light warnings, park brake, stabili track and power steering alert. I took it to thompson pontiac Cadillac in springfield mo. I was notified that the ecbm module was discontinued and they bought a remanufactured part from ebay. They informed me that the part did not fix all of the issues. I still have a power steering drive with care alert still illuminated. The dealership offered no other options for fixing the problem. I believe this is a very common problem with the Cadillac Srx. I believe that both of these issues should be considered a safety issue. My phone number is 417-830-8124 and my email address is lockebetty52@gmail. Com. Thank you.

My abs break module light stayes on - Cadillac stop making the part for the 2015 Srx. This is a safety concern and also reduce the trade in value.

Brake, abs, and traction message came on at the same time. Ebcm 20842710 is the part number. Been at big star Cadillac in houston, texas a month with no explanation except waiting on gm for parts but the dealership can’t tell me anything and I am ready to call the news station about this situation. They can’t get me in another vehicle unless it’s new with a hefty down payment that I don’t have. I have dialysis 3 times a week and now I have to use my wife’s car, now she can’t get to work. What are we supposed to do??? how much longer do I have to wait? they can’t answer that either. This is the usaand can’t get a simple part. No one seem to care either. Very distraught and unhappy. I need help and I need it now!!!.

The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, a squeaking noise was present coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the front brake pads and rotors, but the failure continued. Additionally, while driving at night with the low beam headlights activated, the headlights were extremely dim, making visibility extremely difficult while driving. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 40,700.

A brake module went out in the car August 2021. Brake, abs, stability track, power steering warning lights all on. Cruise control doesn’t work. Lane assistant and back up camera system not fully operational. This is a warranty repair. It’s been 4 months and Cadillac can’t get the part to fix it. A brake module seams important.

While I'm driving my driver seat moves forward and my brake and gas pedal do as well. It happens no matter if I'm on a highway or street and when I'm driving straight not sure if it happens while turning. Doesn't matter what speed I'm going either. Haven't crashed. Nothing indicating something wrong on dash.

For months now I have been having problems with my brakes. They all of a sudden go hard and don't brake as easy as they should also take a lot longer to break and have to push down further and all of a sudden a day or two later it's gone. It comes and goes randomly. I told the dealership they said they don't see a problem and have no recalls.

Breaking system seems delayed, applying foot on the pedal to break takes more pressure then usual. Also wheels are constantly squeaking. For over a year I've brought this attention to the dealerships mechanic where I purchased the vehicle and their only imply is that the breaks are ceramic and will do this regardless. This does not seem safe. Every time I use my breaks I have to adjust the timing and pay closer attention to driving when using the break system. The vehicles break system does not feel safe especially while driving.
