#29 of 41 2004 SRX Stability System by leo85374 Dec 24, 2008 (8:54 am)
My SXR has the problem of the stability system engaging or showing service system. I had the car serviced and to replace a head light and after that is when the problem started.I live in Ariz. and went calif in oct. on the way back I had the cruise control on and the stability system engaged and I almost lost control of the car. When I got back home I called my service rep. He suggested I check the tire pressure, they were all off. I corrected that, but the issue still came up. I talked to guy who is from N.J. that I met yesterday that has the same model as mine and he said his did the same thing and they replaced the steering wheel sensor. I called my service rep. and he said that most likely the sensor is the problem. If this is an issue with this model way do the dealer not info owners when this comes up, instead of telling them to check the tire pressure?

My 2004 SRX has given me great service until recently. The stability system msg start coming up a while back. I called the svc dept at the dealer and no one could tell me what was the problem. Recently I took a trip South, and the trip there and back was absoutely nerve wrecking. I've loved my srx since I bought it new, but this was a very unpleasant experience. All I could think of was getting back home and parking it in the garage never to drive it again. Now I'm waiting to get it serviced because I don't know what kind of svc charges to expect. What I'm wondering is will I do any more damage if I continue to drive it? I love highway driving, but this put a damper on traveling for a while. I think this should have been a recall issue.

Replying to: eduardo_ss (Sep 11, 2008 12:09 pm) I drive a 2004 Cadillac SRX which prompts me to service stability system—what dose the stability system control? Should I be concern about losing control while driving? Replies to this message: newmancl1 (Aug 25, 2009 9:35 am) nepcar (Aug 25, 2009 9:43 am)

Replying to: newmancl1 (Aug 25, 2009 9:35 am) I do not have any new news except that my "Stability System Engaged" message as well as the car shifting to the left after making a grunting noise intermittently occurs in the morning on my way to work. The problem does not appear in the afternoon though.

I am having the same problem with my 2004 SRX. I brought it into the dealer to have them check the stability sensor and they found the sensor switch(?) to be bad. That was in April, it is now September and they have no date of me getting my car back. The part is supposedly being redesigned and remanufactured! 6 months of a dealership rental car!! The part is not available and they have no idea when the part will be available. I am not sure what to do now? Any ideas? I have filed complaints with GM National customer service.

Has anyone really found a fix for this problem. The following has been done to my 2004 SRX: 1. Replaced the steering wheel sensor 2. Repositioned connectors Problem still happens especially in my morning drive to work. I do not see this problem in my drive back home in the afternoon. Could this be related to temperature and moisture? I live in Carmel, Indiana.

Replying to: eduardo_ss (Sep 11, 2008 12:09 pm) I bought a used 04 V6 SRX in May of 2007. The stability system has engaged and it has told me the stability system needs to be serviced for the past 6 months and 8,000 miles; but, from what I see in the thread here I am in no hurry to be the next beta tested SRX. I have never heard a rubbing sound nor have I felt a pull to the left when the system engages. I did find that some brainless twit rotated the tires on me and I drove about 15,000 miles with the 255 60 R17 on the front and the 235 60 R17 on the back; i felt like the real brainless twit for not noticing it ! I just bought new tires and had them installed in the correct locations but on the way home the friendly service stability system warning came on. Should I be concerned? Does it cause damage to the car? Do they know how to fix the problem now? My local dealer was great but was one of the ones who was forced to clse his business and lay off 50 people.
#37 of 41 04 SRX V8 AWD STABILITY SYSTEM SERVICE by huldafolk Oct 15, 2009 (1:01 pm)
I continue to get a warning to SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM at the start to EVERY trip I make in the SRX. I have not had any pulling or noises. I just hit the OK button to clear the message on the screen and continue. No further warning for that trip. If I turn the car off and go again, I will get the warning again within about 2 to 5 miles of driving. The only code I ever was told was a STEERING WHEEL SENSOR. I have not changed it due to the past history of others on this thread. Any GOOD SOLID REPAIRS to go by. Don't want to spend $$$$ on useless repair!!

Replying to: huldafolk (Oct 15, 2009 1:01 pm) Last year a sensor in the steering wheel was replaced which eliminated the problem. However just last week it started acting up again. Just like huldafolk I am reluctant to spend the $$$. I am going to try to get GM to cover the cost since I was having this problem when the vehicle was under the warranty. It only does in the morning when I am pulling off for the first time after that it seems to subside. Replies to this message: joshdthejd (Nov 25, 2009 9:58 pm) pink03hatley (Dec 02, 2009 8:43 am)
