SRX 6-cyl

  • 113,500 miles
My stabilizer track/ABS light came on but before it did my car was driving about 20 miles even though I had my foot down on the gas. Then it jumps into moving fast. The light goes on and off, so when it's off the car won't move it drags then it jumps but when the stabilizer track/ABS light comes back on it doesn't do this. I checked recalls and it says my vehicle doesn't have any but who knows if this has been fixed improperly before. I was driving and cars were beeping then when it jumped I almost hit a car in front of me.

problem #3

May 202019

ABS stability code (C0045) left rear wheel speed sensor encoder ring broken. Mileage 96,020. Replaced speed sensor ($28.71) and rear hub assembly ($188.54). Labor ($420). The broken sensor and hub created a noticeable and significant reduction in acceleration. Vehicle would nearly stall. Mileage 96,360 began receiving service rear axle code. No noticeable performance problem, but a slight whining noise at lower speed.

problem #1

SRX

  • 105,000 miles
This winter it was freezing, my 2011 Srx Cadillac displayed a "reduced engine power" message, and I couldn't go over about 5 miles per hour. I had to pull over and stop the car. After a short time, I restarted the engine and had power back. I took the car to the Cadillac dealership with the check engine light on. They said it was my throttle body sensor. The cost came to $603. I was the second car out of four within a one week time frame that had to get this problem fixed. Cadillac did a recall for this same problem on its other vehicles but not the Srx.
