1 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem of the 2004 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 02/24/2018

About a week after I bought my 2004 Cadillac Srx, it started jerking and making a loud clicking or popping sound, later found out that a few sprockets inside the transfer case had broke off and the chain? was slipping. This was the rear, the carlots mechanic fixed it, then the battery and alternator had to be replaced and the throttle body intake had to be opened and cleaned because it wasnt opening like it is designed to do, and so the exhaust was getting trapped in the exhaust manifold. One summer day in traffic it cut off all power, we ended up getting it started again to get out of the road, and it got us back home, that was a year ago and it hasnt ran since. Also if you had traction control turned on, the abs would apply themselves which sometimes felt unsafe. Always got an error message on the screen saying to service the stablitrax system or to repair the traction control and the tire things that tell you how much air is in each tire, we had 1 that didnt register at all. The sunroof shade was shut when I bought it and in traffic it sprung open fast and loud and it was a scary site when you have children in the backseat and your in heavy traffic. This vehicle needs several recalls issued and fixed, so many have reported the same issues over and over, some life threatening and no one has done anything to help these people, if like me low income they dont want to go thru buying another car they want their Cadillac Srx fixed so they can actually get use of what they paid for. The car lot told me to use unleaded gasoline but the book says to use premium, can gm clear this up please!!.

My daughter was burned twice by the tailpipe on the 2004 Srx. The first time I called Cadillac they told me that this was the only case on file regarding the tailpipe. Six weeks later she was severely burned again. This time Cadillac opened a case file and the case was closed because the vehicle was built per Cadillac specifications.
