I have a 2004 SRX I bought used/certified. I have had the car 128 days, and 23 of those days it has been at the dealer for service. Many issues have surfaced, but most recently and so far unfixed, is the very frequent "stability sytem engaged" message that I am getting even while on warm, dry roads. One day in an 18 mile trip it appeared 21 times! Also,occasionally, at the same time, I get a horrible pulsing/rumble/shaking in the brakes. The last time in they replaced the ESC control, told me it was fixed, yet before I even made it to my driveway I experienced the problems again. It is going back in for service this week, but at this point I have little confidence that anything will be resolved. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, what was done to fix it? Any help/thoughts would be great! Jen |

Replying to: fireguy1 (Feb 01, 2007 9:24 pm) I have experienced the exact same problem, my 2004 SRX is in the shop at this moment and has been since Friday 9 Feb. This is the 5th time I have had them look at this issue and everyone is baffled. Like you they changed the ESC, that worked for two days and the problem was back. If I get any more info on this I will certainly pass it along. Jim |

Replying to: msfur (Jan 28, 2007 5:55 am) We had this problem with our 2004 SRX as well. It was fixed immediately by the folks at Gold Coast Cadillac in Oakhurst, NJ. Problem as I recall was a broken STEERING WHEEL sensor. The sensor detected the steering wheel turning differently than the wheels, so the Stability System engaged. (Or so my memory recollects the Service Advisor explaining!) Here's what my GMLink history says: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT, SENSOR, STEERING WHEEL ROTATION - REPLACE, 2-DAY COURTESY TRANSPORTATION Hope this helps!

I am considering buying a 2007 SRX. Consumer Reports data is only for 2004 and 2005. Anyone with experience with an 06 or 07? Will probably order a V8.

I have a problem with my stability system. The engaged message comes on at random, as often as 10 or more times during my 40 mile drive to work on some days. On more than one occasion I felt a shift sideways as if hit by a strong wind. The dealer couldn't find a problem, no error code and said that when it happens again, bring it in. Of course, by the time I bring it in it won't be acting up. I can't believe this whole experience. The service rep said I could get a rental vehicle while they continue to test drive the vehicle until they get the same condition. How brilliant is that? The service adviser never heard of this problem. Which brings me to the question, how can I find a good dealer? I have only had my 04 SRX for two months and am really upset about how this has been handled. I'm a national quality examiner for NIST, among other things, and I am a nut about customer service. Sorry for venting. I expected more from a Cadillac dealer. Buy American. Tim
