PLEASE INVESTIGATE! APPROX. 3 DAYS AGO I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA & APPLIED BRAKES. SPEED LIMIT IS 25, BUT I WAS GOING SLOWER, JUST TO THE CORNER PAST MY HOME. NOT ONLY DID BRAKES NOT WORK- THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN TO ABOUT 35-40 MPH- NO GAS APPLIED. TRIED PUMPING BRAKES, SHIFTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, REVERSE, PARK- ALL WHILE AT AN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATED SPEED. I PLOWED INTO A RESIDENTIAL YARD WHICH HAD A SMALL HILL THINKING MAYBE I COULD STOP THE CAR THAT WAY. THAT DIDN'T WORK. I SWERVED BACK INTO THE STREET; CAR STILL REVVING AND MOVING FORWARD. AT THAT POINT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH INTO A HOUSE, POLE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENDED UP HALFWAY ON THE STREET AND HALFWAY ON A CURB AFTER CONTINUOUSLY TRYING THE BRAKES AND SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK (VEHICLE STILL ACCELERATING AS IF IT WAS POSSESSED!!) AND JUST BEFORE HITTING A LIGHT POLE, WITH DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN THINKING I'D RATHER JUMP OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE THAN DIE FROM RAMMING INTO A POLE, HOUSE OR CAR- I THOUGHT TO TURN PHYSICALLY TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAS THE CAR WOULD STOP MOVING. THIS WAS A VERY DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER- WHATEVER IT IS. MY MECHANIC STILL HAS NOT DETERMINED WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WE KNOW IT ISN'T AS SIMPLE AS JUST FIXING THE BRAKES. I AND/OR OTHER PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE PROCESS AND EVEN WORSE, MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WHICH THANKFULLY THEY WERE NOT. THIS WAS SUCH A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE THAT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE. IF I HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED, I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT I FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING IT TO ANYONE ELSE- IT'S THAT DANGEROUS! PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THIS PROBLEM IS DEADLY. 2004 CADILLAC SRX 4DR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE HUB- BEARINGS. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED BY A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAD HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR. THERE WAS AN INITIAL TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WHERE THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIRS WHERE PERFORMED WAS SCHEPEL CADILLAC 2929 W LINCOLN HWY, MERRILLVILLE, IN 46410 (219) 472-1403. WHEN THE PROBLEM RECURRED IT WAS SIX MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE SINCE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE PROBLEM HAD RECURRED THREE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST FOUR YEARS WITH IT POSSIBLY LEADING TO A SERIOUS CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WITH THE LATEST REPAIRS BEING UNCOMPLETED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DISPLAY IN THE VEHICLE SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, THE VEHICLE THEN LOST ALL POWER AND STOPPED ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND WILL NO LONGER START. WE BELIEVE THE ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, WE FOUND CASE #10287 AND FOUND THAT GM OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TIMING CHAIN, UNTIL FEB 2017. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FEBRUARY OF 2018. WE CALLED GM AND SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVES THAT SAID THERE WAS IN FACT A RECALL FOR OUR EXACT MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR FOR THE PREMATURE WARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN, BUT IT WAS NOT WITH OUR VIN.
2 TIMING CHAINS WITHIN 8 MONTHS JUST PUT THE SECOND ONE IN ON SATURDAY AND 4 DAYS LATER THE CAR IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE AGAIN. I HAVE SPOKE TO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR. THE SECOND TIME THE TIMING CHAIN WENT I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 55 IN NJ AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START THE FIRST TIME IT WENT I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING IN THIS OR THE FUNDS TO GET ANOTHER CAR I EXPECT WHEN I PIT MONEY INTO THE CAR I DON'T EXPECT IT TO START RUNNING THE WAY IT WAS WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN WENT.

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THIS SHOP TWICE NOW FOR MY TIMING. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE REPAIRED IT TWICE & ALSO REPLACED A VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SOLENOID. ALMOST 3,000.00. ONCE AGAIN IT QUIT WORKING MONTHS AGO. HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC & WHEN DIAGNOSED, IT WENT BACK TO THE TIMING CHAINS FOR THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR. MY MECHANIC WENT ON LINE & INFORMED ME CADILLAC HAS HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING ON THEIR CARS. PLS HELP. I AM DISABLED & I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT THIS LAST TIME, THE CAR WOULD SPEED UP ON ITS OWN WHICH WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION A MILE UP THE ROAD IT DIED. I TRIED TO START IT & IT WOULD START BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. WHEN I LET GO OF THE KEY IT STAYED ON & KEPT TRYING TO START ON ITS OWN, LIKE I HAD THE KEY TURNED. IT DID SHUT OFF FINALLY WHEN I TURNED IT OFF. AFTER THE MECHANIC AT CABLES FIXED THE TIMING THE FIRST TIME, I WAS INFORMED IF I DIDN'T REPLACE THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SOLENOID, HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE THE TIMING AGAIN SO I PAID TO HAVE THAT DONE AS WELL. THIS ALL STARTED 7-24-14 & HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OFF & ON SINCE THEN. I RECENTLY LOST MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER & AM DISABLED SO MY TRANSPORTATION IS EVERYTHING TO ME & I CAN'T KEEP PAYING FOR THIS TIMING SINCE I AM NOW PAYING FOR FUNERAL EXPENSES ALONG WITH MANY OTHER RELATED EXPENSES.

HELLO, THE REASON FOR MY EMAIL IS THAT JUST THIS PAST MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25 OF 2013 THE SUNROOF TO MY 2007 CADILLAC SRX EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO EXPLANATION. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 8PM ON A COLD AND DRIZZLY NIGHT. BIG CHUNKS OF GLASS FELL ALL OVER MY HUSBAND AND I LEAVING US WITH MINOR SCRATCHES, FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS SEVERELY HURT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING OF THE INCIDENT I WENT ONLINE AND CAME ACROSS SEVERAL IDENTICAL INCIDENTS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR, AS WELL AS OTHERS. WE TOOK THE LIBERTY OF CONTACTING GM CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AS IT SEEMS THIS MAY POSSIBLY BE A FACTORY DEFECT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER SHIP BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH HELP, MUCH LESS AN EXPLANATION. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE BEING THAT I AM 8 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE. HOW SAFE WILL THIS BE FOR MY FAMILY? I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE AND I AM NOT AT EASE THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP WHERE ALL I HAVE HEARD FROM THEM IS AN ISSUE OF HOW MANY MILES THE CAR HAS AT THE PRESENT TIME AND NOT THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO SEEK OUT ANY KIND OF HELP, INFORMATION, OR ADVICE AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO TO HAVE THIS SITUATION RESOLVED. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. *TR
