In June 2011, I coasted out of my driveway, coasted down a hill to a stop sign and coasted down another hill to another stop sign at a busy road. I seem to be getting the run around from GM and am thoroughly disappointed with the service they provide. I notice that several people have had the same problem with their Cadillac SRX that I have had and am wondering if GM has done anything to assist them. Am I looking at a Doomsday Situation a forever permanent problem that will never be resolved? I expected more out of GMC not to mention a Cadillac. My family will be riding in this vehicle. I was kinda relieved that he may have found the problem until I read this forum on. The dealer said it had many codes that came up but he thinks one code, specifically, maybe causing all the others: Freight Booster Hose is busted. I have an extended warranty on the vehicle so I brought it into the Cadillac Dealer yesterday. Sometimes it would catch and sometimes is wouldn'T’ t, which left me in middle of the road with my emergency lights on until it finally did catch. While gliding with no power I would throw the car in Neutral and continue to try to restart. Driving below 50 mph it would do the same. I started to take the car to work to see how it was acting. She would glide onto the side of the road or push the vehicle Try to turn the vehicle over and it would turn over after sitting for a while, and then try to make it home. Just recently, she complained that the electrical panel would completely turn on and the “ Engine Power Reduced” alert would come on and the vehicle would completely shut off in middle of the road. Well, I just brought mine after returning from Iraq a few months ago, for my wife and family to have a larger vehicle to get around in the city while I’ m gone to work. GM's OnStar system includes 4G LTE connectivity, allowing creation of an in-car wi-fi network.I noticed many people are starting to complain about the electrical system in the Cadillac SRX’ s. Active noise cancellation uses a microphone to detect ambient noise and counteracts harshness, making the interior remarkably quiet. Every SRX has Cadillac's CUE infotainment system, which includes enhanced controls, plus an eight-inch screen interface with proximity sensing.įour trim levels are available, each with an interior that's distinctive as well as luxurious. Cadillac provides quite an array of safety systems, including adaptive cruise control and cross traffic alert, as well as a Safety Alert seat and automatic front/rear braking assist.Īs for overall technology, SRX has practically been a showcase for some of the latest devices and systems. At the same time, fuel economy scores significantly below average. That's partly due to transmission gearing, but mainly the result of vehicle weight, well above two tons. On the downside, this crossover has a heavier driving feel than expected. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it a Top Safety Pick. SRX ranks near the peak of its class in safety, having earned five-star crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Acceleration is satisfactory, taking about seven seconds to reach 60 mph. Front-drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available. Only a single powertrain is offered: a strong and smooth 3.6-liter V6 engine, making 308 horsepower and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. This is the SRX's final season, as a replacement named XT5 is expected for 2017. Little has changed for 2016, other than deleting adjustable pedals from the Luxury edition. Tasteful, too, because GM's decade-old Art & Science design theme is more subtle on the SRX. The two models could hardly be more different, especially in capabilities and road behavior.Īlthough SRX is now the oldest model in Cadillac's lineup, it still appears fresh. Unlike the big, dazzling, chrome-bedecked Escalade, built on a GM truck platform, the SRX is built on a unitbody, like a car. The Cadillac SRX is a five-passenger luxury crossover SUV with a placid ride, potent powertrain, deluxe accommodations, and the latest technology.
