“2006 Cadillac SRX turn signals burn out within months or replacement. I made 2 videos of me fixing it, put on YouTube with over 35, 000 views. That must mean there are lots of folks with this problem that don't know where to report it. While driving, the indicator flashes a bit faster than it should - the only clue it isn't working. You think other drivers know your intentions and they don't. This is dangerous. Mechanics have to pull the bumper, a bit of work, and want over $300 to change the bulb. Over and over again. This is the 5th time in 3 years. 2nd problem is the "Stability System" - well, I'm not driving on ice, have never needed such a thing. This one nearly cause me to crash into a curb or parked car as I was making a left hand turn in our residential neighborhood at what 15 mph? Suddenly the wheel locked, tires locked and sent me screeching dangerously close to that parked car. It does have a warning, "Service Stability System" but the dealer will want a lot for that, too. So I've resorted to pushing the Disable button on the console until it says, "Stability System Off" then I can drive safely. I have not had this inspected. Everything that gets…”

“WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR THE GAS GAUGE AND THE TEMP GAUGE DO NOT MOVE. THE SECURITY AND NO TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR ON THE STREET STEERING IS SLUGGISH, THE TRANS RPMS ARE HIGH, SOMETIMES THE CAR GOES TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING. ON THE RADIO THERE IT READS ANTI THEFT SYSTEM HIT BUTTON TO CLEAR. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION AND I HAVE TO USE SCREWDRIVER TO PUSH A BUTTON IN STEERING COLUMN TO RELEASE IT. ONE WEEK EVERYTHING WORKED GREAT, NO WARNING LIGHTS, GAUGES WORKED, NO HIGH RPMS ON TRANS AND STEERING WAS FINE AND THE KEY CAME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND NOTHING ON RADIO ABOUT ANTI THEFT SYS. BUT EVERYTHING IS NOT WORKING AGAIN AND NOW ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.”

“VEHICLE STUTTERS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO TURN OFF OR THE WHEELS ARE CATCHING ON SOMETHING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN FIRST PULLING OUT AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING. MOSTLY HAPPENS AFTER MAKING A U TURN. (DOES NOT MATTER IF THE TURN IS TIGHT OR NOT). CAR HESITATES AND THEN STRAIGHTENS ITSELF OUT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HARD TO FIGURE OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD PULLED INTO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF A BIG TRUCK IF THERE HADN'T BEEN A TURN LANE FOR ME TO GET INTO HE WOULD HAVE RUN ME OVER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3-4 MONTHS NOT. THE STABILITY CONTROL SERVICE JUST CAME UP TODAY. THERE ARE NOT WARNINGS OTHERWISE.”

“CADILLAC SRX FROM YEARS 2004-2009 HAS A PROBLEM WITH BURNT OUT FRONT TURN SIGNAL/RUNNING LIGHT BULBS. TO CHANGE AN $8.00 BULB COST ABOUT $150-200 BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO ACCESS THE BULB. I FEEL THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A TURN SIGNAL (SAFETY) PROBLEM GM SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR FREE OR MADE AN ENGINEERING CHANGE WHICH THEY DIDN'T. THE WEB SHOWS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM SRX OWNERS WHO HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS NUMEROUS TIMES AND GAVE UP AND NOW HAVE NO FRONT TURN SIGNALS. MOST WHO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM SAY THAT THE BULB RUNS TOO HOT CRACKING THE AC-DELCO SOCKET(19120947). THE LAST TIME I REPLACED THE BULBS ONE BURNT OUT IN A WEEK. MY VEHICLE IS AN 2004 CADILLAC SRX AWD 3.6 L 6 CYLINDER ENGINE AND AS 10/3/2004 MY MILEAGE IS 40065. BULBS HAVE BURNT OUT 4 TIMES. *TR”
