2014 CADILLAC SRX

Filed May 27, 2026


At lower speeds, especially after coasting, my car will lag for a few seconds before jerking forward. Also today I was coasting going about 25 mph and tried to accelerate and I pushed the pedal down and it wasn’t doing anything for several seconds then decided to start speeding up. No warning lights have come on. This has been happening for a bit but today was the first time I was concerned for my safety as I was out on a major highway

The problem was confirmed with the dealership, however I was told to replace the bulbs which I had done. Replacing the bulbs did not fix the issue so I went back to the dealership and told them again. I was told I would have to replace the entire headlight unit in order for the exterior lights to work properly and that I would have to pay for it. It is…

ABS module is bad, no ABS braking. Brake light on and ABS light on. Module is no longer produced or available. With this said, I am not going to be able to pass inspection in my state therefore leaving my perfectly good car to sit. As is, I am afraid to drive it due to this braking issue especially in rain.

2011 CADILLAC SRX

Filed Apr 16, 2026


I received a flyer that my Cadillac was included in the urgent Rear Toe Link Safety Recall, so I took it to the local Cadillac dealership in Ridgeland, MS.

The warning lights and message were Service StabiliTrak, and my car chimed in combination with the message and the lights stayed on while I drove. When at the dealership, I was told that they were locating the part, and would let…
