Car Stall Problems of Cadillac SRX

On Monday, August 5, 2024 when I started the vehicle and began driving to work I noticed upon startup the engine was clearly noticeably louder. It also made a strange bogging downshift type noise when idling. Upon driving, the noise seemed to go in and out but once reaching approximately 40mph the noise got noticeably loud again and the vehicle seemed as though it was having gear shifting issues. I had the transmission fluid flushed and filled costing me $300. This seemed to help but very little. I did research to find recalls on the vehicle and found “special coverage 18029, reference # n172115200”, which is an inoperative purge solenoid. This is a defective part installed by manufacturer. I was unsure if this was the issue with the vehicle however doing research it was very possible. I contacted gm more than once and was stonewalled. All they said was to contact my local Cadillac dealership to have the issue diagnosed and repaired at my cost. They offered no resolution although it’s a defectively installed part by gm at the factory. Engine light came on for the first time Thursday, 01/09/‘25. I used the diagnostic computer tool from autozone and the printed results showed it was in fact the engine variable valve timing solenoid and crankshaft position - camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor a “code p0016”. The vehicle has been dangerous to drive nearly stalling out or unable to shift smoothly nearly causing an accident several times, as well as loud and giving off dangerous noxious fumes. Gms refusal to fix the vehicle due to their negligence in factory installing a defective and faulty part, as well as the rear passenger side tire pressure sensor monitor (tpsm) shows the unconcern for their customers safety and satisfaction with their product and underscores that seemingly their only concern is their own monetary profits and refusal to amend and resolve dangerous mechanical issues caused by their own doing.

My car had been stalling, or "jerkimg" when a accelerating for a week or so before the following incident, but due to the shelter in place ordinance, l put off taking it to a mechanic. However, my car finally shut off at a stop light, causing a distracted driver to nearly rear end me. A friendly driver assisted me with pushing it (traveling north on mannheim rd in hillside) to an amoco station. I called onstar iinitially to get it towed, but since my father is a retired mechanic, l called him. He was able to start it and drove it to their home just a couple miles from that location. He checked with a fellow/workimg mechanic and he thought the problem was a air flow sensor. That part was replaced a couple days later. I drove the car to run several errands and as l was leaving the grocery store on st. Charles rd in berkeley, headed east, the same thing happened. Again, my father met me at the location, got it to start and drove it to a working mechanic. After placing it on a machine for review, the mechanic stated that it appeared to be the catalytic converter as he didn't see anything else wrong. I was checking online for pricing before agreeing to repairs only to discover that there was a recall on the same make/model for hesitation in acceleration, due to the catalytic converter. Now, l'm wondering if there's a faulty converter issue on my end, and l'd like this to be investigated.

Stopped at a light. Light changed to green and pressed peddle to accelerate. Vehicle started normally into intersection and then would not continue for 5 to 7 seconds. The engine was at idle, not stalled, and would not respond to the peddle no matter what input was rendered. Been to dealer several times and even had a recorder installed, but they could find nothing wrong and returned the vehicle to us. This will eventually cause a fatality.
