While I was driving at a speed of 50 mph the reduced engine power signal came on and it started to lose power and powered down to 18mph and would not go any faster causing me to almost get rear ended, I had took in to repair shop right away, they put it on the scanner and told me that I it was a throttle body issue so I got that fixed the next day the check engine light came on again so I took it back and then they said the timing chain needed to be fixed and then they said to look and see if it was a recalled issue because with only 102,000 miles I had researched and I see a lot of complaints about the same issue with my SUV and no recalls, the shop said its a big jobs and its going to cost over 3,000 dollars and the car is only worth 4500 at the present time, also my stability control light stays on they I had already got that fixed on and the light went off but now it is back on the shop said it is due to the poor design on Cadillac's part from the small magnetic ring that is attached to the bearing, I have researched this also and I see a lot of complaints about this and again no recall, also when starting my SUV all my panels don't work and if I power down my windows it is very very slow to come back up I have to shut my car off and restart it for everything to work again , I had researched this and a lot of complaints but again no recall, also the front head light are constantly fogging up again bad design on Cadillac I researched this and again a lot of complaint as well, but no recalls it seem that the 2010 Cadillac Srx has a lot of defect and nothing is being done about it also this stuff is very dangers and safety issues that are not being addressed and somebody is going to end up dead or is that what Cadillac waits for before recalling, it could of been very bad for me if I did end up getting rear ended I was very lucky.

8 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2010 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 03/19/2015

I took my 2010 Srx into dealership due to a loud roaring noise and vibration in the vehicle at 50-60 mph. Dealership advised that tires needed to be replaced and vehicle aligned. Tires had less than 30,000 miles on them. All tires were replaced and vehicle aligned ($1000. 00+). Approximately 2 - 3 weeks later, I noticed a loss of power in the vehicle when trying to accelerate. Additionally, while stopped at a stop sign or light, vehicle sputtered and shook like it was going to die. This happened on several different occasions. Stability trac light come on during this time but then went out. 05. 01. 15, the vehicle completely lost all power to accelerate over 40 mph and has an awful roaring noise. 05. 05. 15, the vehicle was towed to the dealership & is currently there. Received call from dealership that the wheel hub bearings need to be replaced @ $1,100. 00+. I am not happy with this solution & do not believe is will fix the current issues with my vehicle, as I should not be having a bearing issue @ 70k miles. I now believe that something more was wrong to have caused my tires to have worn so quickly and poorly. Further, there is moisture buildup in both of my headlamps that I predict will cause problems after reading previous consumer complaints without gms acknowledgement.

9 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2006 Cadillac SRX

Failure Date: 02/19/2015

This is the third incident with this vehicle involving the traction control stability system locking up. The last two event involved a crash. The most recent crash I broke my neck and I am in rehab recovery. This most recent crash involved a complete loss of control where the stability lights on the dash came on all of sudden on a snow / ice covered road, and the back end spun around and I crashed into the ditch along the road. I suffered a broken neck and still have the neck brace. As soon as the dash lights came on the vehicle was uncontrollable, and began to slide and spin off the road. This happened once before where the vehicle shifted to the side of the road in a jerking fashion for no reason when the dash lights came on. At that time I was also in a crash.
