Consumer Description
LOSS OF POWER. TWO MONTHS AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED THIS NEW SRX, MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 77 IN NORTH CAROLINA AT 65 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR HAD NO POWER. I WAS IN THE LEFT OF TWO LANES AND WAS ABLE TO STEER AND BRAKE INTO THE MEDIAN WHICH WAS DIVIDED BY A CONCRETE BARRIER FROM THE NORTH BOUND TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN PUSHED HARDER AND HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND, NO POWER. GM OFFERED TO TOW US TO THE NEAREST DEALER, BUT NO ONE WAS OPEN BECAUSE IT WAS SUNDAY. SO WE DECIDED TO TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. I PUSHED THE BRAKE AND IGNITION AND IT STARTED. I SLOWLY MOVED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATED. THE CAR WORKED. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION, I TOOK IT TO A CADILLAC DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY CODES STORED AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN EARLY IN 2014, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THIS TIME AS I CAME TO A STOP--NO POWER, CAR RESTARTED, NO CODES, COULD NOT DUPLICATE. BOTH DEALERS SAID THAT GM HAD NOT SENT THEM BULLETINS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
