2004 CADILLAC SRX Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled, and the power steering and power brakes were inoperative. No warning lights were illuminated. The failure had occurred on several occasions. The contact researched and became aware of an unknown recall related to the failure; however, the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was taken back to the residence, and a dealer was contacted. The contact was informed that the electronic stability control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES ON ITS OWN. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL FOURMS AND REPORTS AS TO PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE . HAPPENS AT LEAST 1 TIME A DAY BUT USUALLY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (WHICH IS THE ONLY TIME IT PHYSICALLY ENGAGES IT) THE STABILITY SYSTEM WARNING LIKE COMES ON AND SAYS TO SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM AND THE SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE ON IT'S OWN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR APPLYS THE BRAKES ON IT'S OWN AND THEY GET ALOT OF VIBRATIONS AND IT PUSHES THE CAR LEFT OR RIGHT FROM THE FRONT END , ALMOST GOT INTO A WRECK AND WOULD LOVE FOR A RECALL TO ME PUBLISHED FOR THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN .

SO MANY RUSTED FRAME COMPLAINTS SHOULD HAVE WARRANTED A RECALL. IN MY CASE A FRAME SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED BADLY IN LESS THAN A YEAR . MANY EVEN SHOW ON YOU -TUBE TRYING TO FIX RUSTED FRAMES BECAUSE NO ONE IS LISTENING. UNDERBODY COATING ACTUALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDED . THIN SHEET METAL SECTIONS ARE THE WORST PARTS .

DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD IMMEDIATELY STARTED LOSING POWER. THE TC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ALSO, THE STABILITY SYSTEM CHECK CAME ON. TRY TO RESET BUT TESTED IT ACCORDING TO MANUAL AND AS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND STAY ON. PURCHASED VEHICLE IN APRIL 2017 AND ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER SEEMS TO HAPPEN. HOW DO I KNOW RECALLS HAVE BEEN FIXED? WHEN ON LOOK UP ON NHTSA SHOWS THERE ARE NO UNFIXED RECALLS BUT I BELIEVE THEY'VE NEVER BEEN FIXED. ALSO, AFTER RAINY DAYS IF YOU LIFT UP TAILGATE WATER COMES POURING OUT.

STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER COMPUTER MODULE WHEEL BEARINGS 02 SENSORS WERE CHANGED WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL CITY STREETS IN MOUNT VERNON NY WHILE TURNING THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES ENGAGES AND MAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL SHAKE AND THE STEERING WHEEL GETS TIGHT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW AND ONGOING

CADILLAC SRX RECALL. WHEN DRIVING VECHILE, THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGE COME ON AND CAUSES THE VECHILE TO PULL TO EITHER SIDE. PRESS OK BUTTON AND IT STRAIGHTENED UP.

THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED KEEPS COMING ON IN DASH. CAUSING IT TO PULL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT TIME ON HIGHWAY.

2004 SRX STABILITY SYS READY COMES ON AND THE STEERING PULLS LEFT OR RIGHT ABS LIGHT , BRAKE LIGHT , COMES ON NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS OR WHAT TO DO HELP

I HAVE A 2004 SRX AWD. I ALWAYS GET THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE WITH SOME VIBRATION AND VEHICLE REAR SIDE GOES LEFT SIDE AND AFTER LITTLE TIME ITS GOES AWAY . SOMETIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE I WOULD GET A GRUNTING SOUND THEN THE "GRIDING" FROM BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAPPENS ON WHEN VEHICLE SPEED IS MORE THAN 40 MPH & FEW TIMES I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN OTHER LANE.

CONSTANTLY, CONSTANT PROBLEMS. EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND THIS CAR IS STALLING, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON , SLOWING ACCELERATION AND CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I SEE THE DIC MESSAGE BOARD BLINKING AND THE CAR ACTS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO STOP. THESE ISSUES LISTED ON THIS SITE FROM ALL THESE PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. I AM NOW WRITING TO CADILLAC BECAUSE THE ISSUES ARE GETTING OUT OF CONTROL AND I AM AFRAID FOR MY AND MY CHILD'S LIFE. I AM MOVING FORWARD TO SEEK OUT AN ATTORNEY FOR A LAWSUIT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD SENDS THE VEHICLE SWERVING. THE WHOLE CAR RATTLES. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATES BEFORE GOING, SAME WITH DECELERATING. EVEN WHEN IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND FLAT SURFACES.

I BOUGHT THE SRX USED IN SEPTEMBER AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD ONE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER. IF I ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY MY TRANSMISSION, (I THINK), HAS A VERY LOUD RATCHETING/POPPING SOUND. MY SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM ERROR MSG COMES ON EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS COULD BE RELATED TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR NOT WORKING OR FAULTY SENSORS. MY SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM ERROR MSG ALSO COMES ON EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO CAUSE THE TRACTION CONTROL FEATURE TO MESS UP, WHICH THEN ON OCCASION WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKES, EVEN SLIGHTLY, MY BRAKES LOCK UP AND I SKID FOR JUST A SECOND. MY POWER STEERING FLUID SEEMS TO CONTINUALLY LEAK OR THE PUMP IS BAD. I HAVE REFILLED MY RESOVOIR MANY TIMES AND I CONSTANTLY HAVE A VERY LOUD "WHINING" SOUND. MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM ALSO SEEMS TO GO OUT OCCASIONALLY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED, THE WHEELS SEIZED, AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STABILITY SENSOR AT THE END OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND A SENSOR IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,152. UPDATED 08/03/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE VEHICLE MADE A HARD LEFT, CAUSING HIM TO VIOLENTLY GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SKID. WHEN HE HIT THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. UPDATED 08/10/16.*JB

SINCE OCT. 2014 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE"STABILITY SYSTEM" TO BE SERVICED YET IT WORKS??? THE HOOD HASN'T EVER STAYED UP WHICH HAD BEEN A PAIN BEING STARTING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE BATTERY STARTING HAVING ISSUES IN THE COLD WEATHER. SOMETHING IS DRAINING IT AND I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE.

SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM CAME ON ONE DAY AND IT WONT GIVE ME THE KEY BACK I HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT MANUALY ALSO WONT READ MILES, TEMPERATURE, FUEL AND SOMETIMES WHILE ON THE ROAD IT WILL DIE COMPLETELY, IT READS SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM AND SERVICE STABILITY

POWER STEERING ENGAGES ON ITS OWN AND CAUSES PROBLEMS WHEN I AM TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP THAT IS CAUSING IT TO TURN ONLY WHEN IN MOTION AND IT IS STILL HARD TO TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE BEGUN TO FISHTAIL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

AT ANY SPEED AND AT LEAST 100 TIMES OR MORE, THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATES AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO THE LEFT. AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IT CAN BE A VERY STRONG PULL TO THE LEFT AND IT ALSO MAKES A NOISE. THE DEALER DOESNT SEEM TO KNOW WHY. WHEN THE STABILITY SYSTEM KICKS IN AT 60 TO 70 MPH AND IT PULLS TO THE LEFT SO HARD IT IT IS DANGEROUS, IT ALSO MAKES A SOUND BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT THE SOUND IS. IT IS DANGEROUS AS I HAVE TO CORRECT FOR THE SUDDEN PULL TO THE LEFT. I ALSO RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS ME. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE SOLVED. IF THIS RAPID PULL TO THE LEFT GETS ANY WORSE, I BELIEVE IT IS...

THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED MESSAGE DISPLAYS AS I AM DRIVING. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY AT SPEEDS OVER 45MPH. RECENTLY IT COMES ON AT ANY SPEED DURING ANY ROAD OR WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHEN THE MESSAGE APPEARS THE CAR SWAYS AS IF A GUST OF WIND IS BLOWING THE CAR. AT TIMES I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE AS WELL. I HAVE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I AM DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH. ONCE THE MESSAGE APPEARED AS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS A DEEP GRINDING NOISE AND FEELING. THE MOVEMENT THE CAR MAKES WHEN THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGES MAKES THE VEHICLE VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS (ONE BEING AN AUTHORIZED CADILLAC DEALERSHIP) 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, SPENT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIR ATTEMPTS, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE AN...

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE STABILITY SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED ON ITS OWN, CAUSING MY CAR TO BRAKE ON ITS OWN AND SWERVE AND SKID TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT, BRAKES SHUDDER AND GOES FROM 70 MPH TO 30 IN A FEW SECONDS... IT HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS IN DIFFERENT CLIMATE CONDITIONS. THE MESSAGE ON SCREEN SAYS STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED, THEN TRACTION ENGAGED, WHICH I HAVE TURNED OFF. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO A DEALER AFTER THE FIRST EXPERIENCE AND THEY REPLACED THE STABILITY SYSTEM SENSOR, AT A COST NEAR $600 TO ME! A COUPLE WEEKS WENT BY WITH NOTHING WRONG, WE MOVED ACROSS TEXAS AND NOW ITS HAPPENING DAILY!!! THE DEALERSHIPS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AND 'HAVENT HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE', WHICH I FIND VERY HARD TO BELIEVE AFTER READING THE COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE AND IN OTHER BLOGS/WEBSITES!! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT GM REALLY NEEDS...

SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM LIGHTS ON DISPLAY, CAR SHUDDERS AS BRAKES RAMDOMLY APPLY AT ANY SPEED, PULLING STEERING TO LEFT OR RIGHT. SERVICE ABS ON DISPLAY, TRACTIONCONTROL OFF, AND SERVICE CAR SOON ALL ON DISPLAY. CAR HAS HAD TRANSFER CASE FAILURE, ALL 4 HUBS HAD BEARING FAILURE, BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE, POWER SEAT MODULE FAILURE, AND. *TR

EVERY TIME I START MY CAR I GET SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST AND SERVICE STABILITY SYS" AND I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE HAS READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. AFTER RESEARCHING I DID NOT WANT TO GO SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY SINCE IT SEAMS NO ONE HAS THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEM. MY CAR SEAMS TO RUN GOOD IT IS JUST SCARY TO THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH MY CAR. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN GET THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEM [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL TURNS ITSELF ON FOR NO REASON AND CAUSES STEERING ISSUES. AT HIGH SPEEDS THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, BUT I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF OTHER CASES. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE AND PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT. AT THE SAME TIME THE STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED MESSAGE POPS UP. IT DOES THIS CONSTANTLY, I NEVER TAKE A DRIVE WITHOUT THE MESSAGE APPEARING. THIS MORNING THE SAME HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO WORK, BUT THE WORST EVER. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND SWERVED IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL BUS ON THE FREEWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR ACTED LIKE A COMBINATION OF HAVING A FLAT TIRE AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS. READING CADILLAC SRX PROBLEM WITH STABILITY SYSTEM THREAD ON EDMUNDS.COM, I REALIZE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THANKFULLY NO ONE HAS DIED YET, BUT AFTER THIS MORNINGS INCIDENT, THE OUTCOME IF I WOULD HAVE HIT THE SCHOOL BUS GOING 60 ON THE FREEWAY, COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. *TR

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CADILLAC SRX 2004 MODEL, IT SEEMS MANY ARE... MY "TRACTION/ STABILITY CONTROL" CAME ON GOING 70 MPH UP A HILL (WHICH I LIVE IN A VALLEY SO IF YOU GO OFF THE ROAD YOU MIGHT DROP 100 FT) WITH A VEHICLE BEHIND ME, MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME AND MY 3 CHILDREN, WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED IT BEGAN IDLING VERY ROUGH, I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE WAITED A FEW MIN AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND ALL WAS FINE, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE!! THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!! WE CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP THAT WE RECENTLY HAD REPLACE OUR TRANSFER CASE (FOR YET AGAIN ANOTHER RECURRING PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE) AND WERE TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE BRINGING IT IN?!?...

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...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO VEER EITHER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAD IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000. UPDATED 2/23/11 *CN UPDATED 07/11/11

MY TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD UNLESS I MANUALLY DISABLE IT. THIS COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WILL BE JERKED AND PULLED EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. IT BEGAN IN JANUARY OF 2009 AND CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVEN AFTER TRYING MANY THINGS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGES CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. CAR VIBRATES, STEERING WHEEL STIFFENS WHERE YOU CAN NOT STEER, BRAKES ARE ENGAGED, AND SLOWS DOWN 5-10 MPH INSTANTLY CAUSING TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU TO BACK UP AND COULD RUN INTO YOU. IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN IN WET CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE CONTROL AND SPIN INTO TRAFFIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS VERY SCARY. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY FIVE MILES AND STABILITY CONTROL MUST BE DISENGAGED TO PREVENT FROM HAPPENING. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. A FEW DAYS AGO THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE STARTED APPEARING ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. IT IS OCCURRING SEVERAL TIMES AS I DRIVE. THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN MAKES A NOISE AND JERKS AND THE MESSAGE FLASHES. THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AND GENERAL ROADS. IT'S SCARY AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN THE CAR WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN. *TR

2004 CADILLAC SRX HAS "SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL" MESSAGE COME UP AND READING SEVERAL FORUMS, SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THE CONDITION GETS WORSE TO THE POINT OF ENDANGERING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE START GETTING INJURED. ALSO KEEP GETTING "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" WARNING WITHOUT THE TIRES BEING LOW. *TR

WE HAVE OWNED A 2004 CADILLAC SRX FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN GIVING US AN ERROR CODE SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM. I TOOK IN INTO MY LOCAL MECHANIC BUT HE SAID I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BUT SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE MAC SENSOR. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE DEALER KEN BATCHELLOR IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. IN THE MEAN TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AND THE CAR WAS STARTING TO LOCK UP ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE ERROR CODE CAME ON. THIS WAS TRULY A FRIGHTENING AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE ONLY WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE SITUATION WAS TO STOP THE VEHICLE TURN IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. THE...

I HAVE A 2004 CADILLAC SRX THAT CONTINUALLY GIVES ME A "STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGED" ON THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM SCREEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BRAKES START TO LOCK. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2004. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT AND SUGGESTED I GET NEW TIRES THAT CAME FROM GM BACK ON THE CAR INSTEAD OF THE TIRES I HAVE NOW THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE CAR FOR A YEAR. IF THE TIRES WERE A PROBLEM, IT SHOULD HAVE STARTED A YEAR AGO WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES REBALANCED AND PROPER AIR PUT IN THEM AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL TIRE EXPERTS AND NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD THAT YOU CAN ONLY PUT ONE TYPE OF TIRE ON THE CADILLAC'S. I PUT THE...

CADILLAC SRX 2004, THE STABILIZER KEEPS ENGAGING AND WHEN IT ENGAGES, IT JERKS THE CAR, IT MAKES THE CAR SWERVE. IT ENGAGES WITHOUT NOTICE AND IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IT ENGAGES, YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. *TR

STABILIZING SYSTEM ENGAGED CONTINUALLY CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND STRANGE GRINDING NOISE IF ATTEMPT TO STOP. HAPPENS DAILY, AT DEALER NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG, BUT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2004 V8 AWD CADILLAC SRX SOON AFTER WE GOT IT THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM BEGAN TO COME ON. IT HAS CAUSED US TO JERK THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS B/C IT CAME ON AND PULLED THE CAR TO THE OPPOSITE WAY. WHEN WE BRAKE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND IS HARD FOR US TO CONTROL CAUSING US TO ALMOST RUNNING INTO OTHER VEHICLES. DURING THIS TIME BOTH MY RIGHT AND LEFT REAR HUB ASSEMBLIES WENT OUT WE BELIEVE THE SYSTEM TURNING ON AND OFF CAUSED THIS. WE HAVE HAD BOTH HUB ASSEMBLIES REPLACED NEW TIRES ADDED ON AND HAD ALL TIRES ALIGNED HOPING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. TO OUR SURPRISE THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM IT JUST KEEPS ON RECURRING WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL B/C ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND THIS...

MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX HAS STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED KEEPS COMING ON AND I FEEL VIBRATION . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND CAN'T FIND ANY READING ON THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. THEY SAY THERE'S NO MANUFACTURER INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM. DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY EVEN DROVE THE CAR HOME TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM AND THEY STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED LITE CAME ON BUT CAN'T GET READING FROM CAR'S ON BOARD COMPUTER. *TR

WHILE MERGING ON TO THE INTERSTATE APPROX 2 MILES FROM MY STARTING PLACE, THE "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED" MESSAGE CAME ON TO MY DISPLAY SCREEN. THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE ON A DRY/WARM ROAD. I CLEARED THE MESSAGE AND CONTINUED DOWN THE INTERSTATE. APPROX. 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN, THERE WAS A GRINDING VIBRATION IN THE BREAKS AND THE VEHICLE LOCKED. IT SLOWED TO ABOUT 45 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO USE THE STEERING WHEEL/ACCELERATOR AGAIN. THE MESSAGE THEN CHANGED TO "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. THE GRINDING CONTINUED AND I DROVE 45 THE REMAINDER OF THE WAY TO MY DESTINATION. *TR

STABILITY LIGHT WARNING COMES ON, MECHANIC CANNOT FIND A DEFECT. HOWEVER, STARTED LOCKING UP FRONT WHEELS WHEN TURNING. MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. SO FAR NO MAJOR ISSUES, BUT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT LOCKS AT THE WRONG TIME. I HAVE 4 SMALL CHILDREN, CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE. CANNOT SEEM TO GET IT FIXED. OCCURS ABOUT ONCE DAILY, USUALLY WHEN TURNING OUT OF A STOP TO THE LEFT (?). NOTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED, AS THERE SEEMS TO BE NO DEFECT FOUND BY THE MECHANIC. LIVING IN GERMANY, MECHANIC IS GM CERTIFIED. *TR

WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATES WITH OUT PROVOCATION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE LATEST OCCURRED 4/09/2010 THE STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATED UNDER DRY WEATHER EXCELLENT DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PULL HARD TO THE LEFT AND GO INTO LIMP MODE. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT MANY OWNERS OF CADILLAC SRX'S ARE EXPERIENCING SAME CONDITION. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE AT CADILLAC DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 120 DAYS EACH TIME TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED ONLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THE "STABILITY CONTROL" WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WAS NOISE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKING. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SKID IN ONE DIRECTION FOR FEW SECONDS. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND CONTINUE OPERATION. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURES AND THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE MALFUNCTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

2004 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IT'S "STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGES" AND BRAKES THE VEHICLE BY ITSELF. THIS UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED AND ROAD CONDITIONS. ON ICY OR WET ROADS IT IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL PULL STRONGLY TO THE LEFT AND COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND ACTUALLY WEARS OUT THE BRAKES. *TR
