2008 Cadillac SRX owner complaints

The brake lines on my 2008 Cadillac have rusted through causing the brakes to fail, and cause other damage to the bottom line of the car.

Brakes failed completely. Fluid leaked from severely corroded brake lines. Luckily, I was on a 25mph rd near home. Barely stopped with full pressure on pedal. I was headed for highway and am very lucky it didn't happen there. Gm brake line corrosion is a scandal. 30 years in car business and I never saw this on any other car.

Brake line burst due to corrosion, line from master cylinder to ABS modulator, during panic braking situation while driving in the rain. Vehicle came within inches from rear ending a small car full of people. As a previous owner of a 2000 Chevrolet silverado, of which I had a similar experience, and subsequently replaced all the brake lines with stainless steel, I have no faith in the NHTSA as a result of the "gm brake line investigation" which in my opinion caved to politics in order not to bankrupt gm. How many lives will be negatively impacted by injuries and death as a result of not having gm address the issue of using garbage materials for hydraulic lines? Shame on everyone involved in the decision to chalk this up to salt corrosion. At the time of my 2000 silverado complain

Car was parked in garage and the moonroof was opened earlier in the day with no issues. There were no cracks at all in the moonroof and no rocks had hit the vehicle. As the car was parked in our garage with our 1 year old daughter still in her car seat and my husband and I were at the front of the garage, the moonroof shattered and the glass got all over the interior of the car. Again, there were no signs of glass and or wear on the actual moonroof during the day. Cadillac's moonroof department stated that it may have been due to a temperature change. This is ridiculous since we live in new hampshire and the weather was a perfect 64 degrees and our garage was around 75. You assume that the glass in your car could withstand most situations. This could have been a major incident if we w

The vehicle crashed into another parked vehicle, and eventually stopped 30 feet away. There were no injuries. Through online research, the contact discovered NHTSA campaign id number 08v527000 (power train:automatic transmission) for the 2004 srx, which was identical to the failure with his vehicle. The vehicle is currently at the dealer. The current and failure mileages were 11,000.

I got into an accident and my airbags did not go off

For the past few months our Cadillac srx model year 2008 has experienced the passenger side airbag system being automatically turned off by the car itself when driving and a passenger is in the seat. Then it will come on of it's own accord. This happens repeatedly. My spouse weighs 120 lbs, sits normally in the seat. We have had the vehicle in the shop at galles and davis Cadillac in albuquerque, nm and they can't find the issue with it. When the try to retrieve the codes, they say there aren't any. They have replaced everything in terms of seat covers, pressure plate, etc. But the one item I don't believe has been replaced has been the module containing the software program. They have found no shorts, etc in the wiring. I noticed that the 2009 cts Cadillac (NHTSA campaign #08v582000, gm r

We were stopped at a traffic light, when the engine made a very loud, harsh noise and began racing at a high rev. Even with brakes fully applied, we were propelled into the intersection; tried to jam the gear shift into neutral, but could not in time. We were struck from the left front and the vehicle was knocked onto the right side. Minor injuries, treated and released at the emergency room. Vehicle was totaled. *js

Tl* the contact owned a 2008 Cadillac srx. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 60 ' 70 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the passenger's side rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that his wife checked the rear passenger's side window to see if the window was rolled down. The window was not down. Several seconds later, there was a loud noise and the driver loss control of the steering wheel and the vehicle started spinning out of control. The driver attempted to regain control of the steering wheel while the vehicle was heading towards the guardrail. The vehicle crashed into the guardrail and spun out into the roadway. The contact stated that the air bags deployed. Another driver that witnessed the crash removed the driver from the crashed vehicle.

When driving the acceleration is slow to pick up. The engine light came on and when I took it to get check the code p0008 came up. That's when you have an issue with the engine module detecting a problem with the timing between the crankshaft and bank 1 crankshaft.

Weaving in between cars without signaling, tailgating every car she came behind. She tried to cut people off. She tired to pull in front of people using nonexistent lanes. Speeding and vulgar hand gestures.

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 Cadillac srx. While applying the brakes at a very low speed, the vehicle surged forward and crashed into a vehicle. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer who stated that they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired since the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact also stated that the failure had previously occurred intermittently. The failure and current mileages were 13,876.

Roll over and roof crushed causing severe spinal cord injury. *tr

Leaving work I started the vehicle and drove approximately 1/2 mile when the engine light came on and the vehicle started pulling and shaking. I pulled over and turned the vehicle off for a few minutes. I started the vehicle again and it continued to do this so I took it to the dealer and the dealer told me it was the exhaust system and would cost 2300 to fix. *tr
