#1 of 5 2010 Cadillac SRX - swirling gas sounds in tank by clyde333 Nov 08, 2009 (12:22 am)
We purchased our SRX approx. 6 weeks ago and so far we love almost everything about the crossover. The navigation system with the rear camera view, the panaromic roof, the interior lighting and luxurious dashboard look. The performance could use a little bit more torque but we would of purchased a sportscar if wanted more power. We are recent empty nesters so the size of the car is very convenient. The only complaint we have so far is that when we drive over speed bumps or up our inclined driveway, we can hear the gas swirling and rocking in the tank. At least, we think it is the gas but we are having it check this week. It's unusually loud. 2010 SRX owners, do you hear anything?

Replying to: clyde333 (Nov 08, 2009 12:22 am) That is so strange because I also own a Mazda6, and recently reading on the Mazda forum about the same problem some people are having with their new Mazda6's regarding the fuel sloshing issue. They seem to think that it might have something to do with baffles that are supposed to be in the gas tank, or that there's not enough insulation in the vehicle. I would just bring it in at next oil change and tell service about it. Both my 08' SRX, and my 04' Mazda6 don't seem to have this problem at all.

Replying to: ericzoom (Nov 09, 2009 4:54 am) I'm a new Mazda 6 owner with similar sloshing problems. Was GM able to take care of the sloshing problem for you? If so, what did they do? Replies to this message: ericzoom (Dec 04, 2009 8:42 am)

Replying to: jiminy6 (Dec 04, 2009 6:46 am) I didn't have this problem on either vehicle. Just other owners on both forums had it.

Replying to: clyde333 (Nov 08, 2009 12:22 am) Hi Clyde. Was wondering if you ever got the issue with the swirling in the gas tank resolved? If so, what was the fix?
