NHTSA Complaint #11074129 — 2008 CADILLAC SRX

WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM A 2 HOUR TRIP IN SNOWY CONDITIONS, THE CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE JUST AS WE PULLED ONTO OUR ROAD BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. WE DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC CHANGED OIL AND FILTER AND SAYS HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO SAID IT IS NOT KEEPING OIL PRESSURE, THE CAMSHAFTS ARE MISFIRING AND HE THINKS THE TIMING CHAIN IS AN ISSUE. THEY BOTH SAID IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AND IT HAS JUST UNDER 85,000 MILES.
