NHTSA Complaint #10452281 — 2005 CADILLAC SRX

AFTER MY PURCHASE OF THE 2005 CADILLAC SRX IN 2007I HAVE HAD A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITY SYSTEM EVER SINCE. A MESSAGE KEEPS POPPING UP THAT THE STABILITY SYSTEMS NEEDS MAINTENANCE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER MESSAGE THAT THE STABILITY SYSTEM HAS BEEN ENGAGED, WHICH COMES UP SEVERAL TIMES WHEN YOUR ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING 60+MPH. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO GET LOOKED AT, HOWEVER THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM SINCE THE MESSAGE DID NOT POP UP AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR ON THE ROAD AND THE MESSAGE POPS UP THAT THE STABILITY SYSTEM IS ENGAGED AND YOUR STEERING LOCKS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING WHEEL. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF, HOWEVER IT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE PROBLEM. YOU WILL STILL ENCOUNTER THE STABILITY MESSAGE COMING UP, THEN EXPERIENCE THE STEERING LOCK UP AND THEN IT GOES AWAY. YOU CAN GET INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THIS IS NOT FIXED WITH CADILLAC. ALTHOUGH MOST CADILLAC OWNERS ARE GETTING THE RUN AROUND WITH THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM, GM PLEASE HEAR ALL THE COMPLAINTS MADE BY CADILLAC OWNERS, THESE STATEMENTS SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. *JS
