2005 Cadillac SRX Electrical System Problems

brought car to shop and after 3 months trying to figure out problem gave up. I towed it to dealership and after another month finally said car proved to be a mystery but extensive damage due to water leakin the rear shorting out entertainment module.

THE CAR HAS A REAR LEAK THAT BUILDS UP IN THE TRUCK AND HOLDS WATER THERE WHERE THE JACK IS LOCATED WHICH IS NOW STUCK TO THE CARPET AND LOTS OF MOVEMENT IN THE REAR END OF THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ALONG WITH THE REAR TRUNK NOT LOCKING OR REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT WORKING AT ALL AND COULD BE FROM THE WATER LEAKING INTO IT FROM THE REAR SOMEWHERE THAT NEEDS A RECALL ON.

LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL KEEPS GOING OUT. 5 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR. REPAIR COSTS TO CHANGE BULB $250. HAPPENS WITH OUT WARNING. CADILLAC HAS NO FIX FOR PROBLEM. NEED TO BE A RECALL, AND SOLUTION TO PROBLEM. HAPPEN WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS USED.

TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT OCCASIONALLY ''' SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM '' WARNING COMES UP...STABILIZING ENGAGE CAUSING VEHICLE TO COME TO GRINDING STOP.........THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING.....'''STARTING ENABLED'' ''REMOVE KEY'' COMES ON ....CANNOT REMOVE KEY IMMEDIATELY ...MUST JUNGLE KEY SEVERAL TIMES THEN REMOVE IT... THIS HAPPENS BEFORE VEHICLE IS STARTED.... ON CITY STREETS....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PREPARING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER INTO TRAFFIC AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE STALLED AND SMOKE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POSITIVE CABLE WIRE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE FAILURE WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE PLACING 2 PLASTIC CAPS ON A KEY SOLVES THIS IGNITION RECALL? THE RECALL IS FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH! I TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY AND THIS IS HOW THEY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. THIS WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME AND I AM NO MORE SAFER NOW THAN BEFORE I WENT IN.

VEHICLE STATIONARY. UNABLE TO START. UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY. BATTERY GOES DEAD. 2 GM DEALERSHIPS SAY THERE IS NO FIX. HAVE HAD CAR DIAGNOSED. NO FIX IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CADILLAC. DEALERSHIPS "FIX" SO CAR STARTS AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEM STARTS. PLEASE ADVISE

DRIVER DOOR LATCH STAYS IN THE OPEN POSITION, PREVENTING THE DOOR FROM LATCHING CLOSED. AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE, OVER NIGHT OR A FEW DAYS, DOOR WILL LATCH CLOSED AGAIN. THIS IS A INTERMENT PROBLEM.

THE BACK UP LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A MANUFACTURERS' DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. WE ARE ON OUR THIRD FAILURE. A WIRE THAT IS INTEGRATED INTO THE TAILGATE BECOMES WARN . *TR

FOR MORE THAN 2.5 YEARS MY SRX (PURCHASED NEW IN 2005) HAS EXPERIENCED RE-OCCURRING/INTERMITTENT TURN SIGNAL FAILURE OF BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS. AFTER THE TURN SIGNAL FAILS, IT WILL SOMETIMES WORK AGAIN AFTER A SECOND OR THIRD ATTEMPT. MOST OFTEN, HOWEVER, I MUST RESORT TO SWITCHING ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS TO ACTIVATE THE TURN SIGNAL. THE VEHICLE HAS UNDERGONE TEN UNSUCCESSFUL REPAIR ATTEMPTS SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2008 THROUGH THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DIRECTOR AND MECHANICS APPEAR TO BE AT A LOSS ON HOW TO RECTIFY THIS ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
