TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WHILE ACCELERATING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

I GOT A OIL CHANGE ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY MY CAR BROKE DOWN. THE DEALER SAID MY ENGINE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OIL IN IT. AFTER READING OTHER REPORTS THIS HAS HAPPEN TO OTHERS. THE OIL DIDN'T LEAK ON THE GROUND OR THEIR WAS NO SIGN OF THE OIL LEAKING. *TR

OUR 2005 CADILLAC SRX SUFFERED A TIMING BELT DEFECT AT 62,000 MILES - JUST OUTSIDE THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY A TECHNICIAN AND ASSISTANT SVC. MANAGER THAT THEY HAVE HAD 4-8 OF THESE "DEFECTS" IN THE PAST YEAR AND A BULLETIN HAS BEEN RELEASED BY GM WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FIX IT.

I AM THE OWNER OF A CADILLAC SRX 2005. THIS HAD APPROX 59,000 MILES AT TIME OF ENGINE FAILURE.

'08 THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE TIMING BELT FAILED. THIS IS A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 60K MILES AND THE TIMING BELT FAILS. THIS TO ME IS VERY RARE AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH ALOT MORE MILES AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAD A TIMING BELT FAILURE. *TR
