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!!

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.

I have the same problem with my 04 SRX AWD. This problem has been recurring for over 3 years now. The anti-lock breaks deploy in the rear tires while travelling at any speed over approximately 25 m.p.h. I just got it back from the garage for the 3rd time. In three years ago under warranty and they replaced a rear rotor. This did not fix the problem and had it in about a year and a half ago. That time they replaced the whole stability system computer. Now they want to replace the steering wheel sensor. I feel that Cadillac is aware of this problem but is ignoring it. My service person states the Cadillac engineers act baffled by the problem, like they have never encountered it before. I think they are aware but don't want to address it because it will lead to a recall. The situation is really hazardous, and in my opinion this car is not safe for its intended use. I am going to go with the steering column sensor fix and see what happens, but if this doesn't work I will definitely be contacting the NHTSA office of defects. I am also considering a class action suit as well. They really need to fix this problem ASAP before someone is killed. The deployment of the anti-lock breaks at random while travelling down the highway at 70 m.p.h. is a hazard to life and limb. A couple of times when this has happened it has jerked the car near or into the opposite lane. Thank god there was no approaching traffic.

I have a v6 2004 SRX and late last night I was driving down a straight road.. with no other cars insight.. thank goodness. My clock went blank than a stability message appeared. Followed by my steering wheel locking and my back breaks. There was nothing I could do except pray that I wouldn't kill myself. I almost hit a pole but luckily my car snapped back into normal right before I would of crashed. I don't understand how Cadillac could just turn their head to this. This is such a HUGE issue. I am horrified to even get near my car. I just had it towed to the nearest cadillac dealership in Portland Or.. they said they can't guarentee me a rental? I am so bothered by this. Something MUSt be done. So please- if you are experienceing this same problem PLEASE come forward,
