NHTSA Complaint #10243954 — 2007 CADILLAC SRX

WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR LIGHTS OR ANYTHING, MY 2007 CADILLAC SRX WILL LOOSE POWER AND DECELERATE FROM 60 TO 0 IN JUST A FEW SECONDS. I CAN HAVE THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE, EVEN THOUGH THE MOTOR IS STILL RUNNING. IT IS AS IF THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN, IT WILL RUN FINE FOR A FEW DAYS OR A WEEK OR SO BEFORE HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES AND THE DEALER SAYS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ONE TIME I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE ROAD. OTHER VEHICLES WERE SWERVING AROUND ME AT 60+ MILES PER HOUR. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED ANY ONE OF THE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THIS STARTED AT ONLY 25,000 MILES. I ALSO HAVE A GRINDING NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS ARE TURNED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON ALMOST EVER SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE 14 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND IS STILL NOT FIXED. I EVEN CALLED GM/CADILLAC AND STILL GOT NO SATISFACTION. I AM AFRAID THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF AT ANYTIME. I AM ALSO AFRAID I AM GOING TO BE HURT WHEN THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY, IT IS A COMPANY VEHICLE AND I HAVE TO CARRY FELLOW EMPLOYEES WITH ME ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I NO LONGER CARRY ANYONE WITH ME BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG OR HOW TO FIX IT AND CADILLAC HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY UNCOOPERATIVE WITH ME. *TR
