NHTSA Complaint #10394170 — 2004 CADILLAC SRX

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF INTERSTATE ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE STABILITY SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY ENGAGES CAUSING THE ABS TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WILL VEER TO ONE SIDE (HAS GONE BOTH R AND L) AS THE ABS APPLIES THE BRAKES AND THE STABILITY SYSTEM ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT FOR A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT EXIST. THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE TOUCH SCREEN. ADDITIONALLY, THE STABILITY SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE (AGAIN, "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE APPEARS) WITHOUT THE ABS ENGAGING. THIS WILL OFTEN CAUSE A SLIGHT COURSE CORRECTION, BUT NO DRAMATIC VEER TO ONE SIDE. THE ABS RECENTLY ENGAGED 2 TIMES DURING A 90 MILE TRIP WITH THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGING (NO ABS) AN ADDITIONAL 6-8 TIMES. AT NO POINT WERE ROAD CONDITIONS IMPARED IN ANY WAY. WEATHER WAS MID 60S-LOW 70'S AND SUNNY. THE ISSUE OCCURED WITHOUT THE CRUSIE CONTROL ON (FIRST TIME, ABS ENGAGED) AND WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON(ABS NEVER ENGAGED). WHEN THE ABS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER ENOUGH TO MOVE PARTIALLY INTO ANOTHER LANE. HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SPEEDS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENTS VARIED FROM 55-70. *TR
