2013 Cadillac SRX Engine Problems

I am having transmission problems. My transmission accelerates late.

MY CAR HAD BEEN STALLING, OR "JERKING" WHEN A ACCELERATING FOR A WEEK OR SO BEFORE THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT, BUT DUE TO THE SHELTER IN PLACE ORDINANCE, L PUT OFF TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC. HOWEVER, MY CAR FINALLY SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT, CAUSING A DISTRACTED DRIVER TO NEARLY REAR END ME. A FRIENDLY DRIVER ASSISTED ME WITH PUSHING IT (TRAVELING NORTH ON MANNHEIM RD IN HILLSIDE) TO AN AMOCO STATION. I CALLED ONSTAR INITIALLY TO GET IT TOWED, BUT SINCE MY FATHER IS A RETIRED MECHANIC, L CALLED HIM. HE WAS ABLE TO START IT AND DROVE IT TO THEIR HOME JUST A COUPLE MILES FROM THAT LOCATION. HE CHECKED WITH A FELLOW/WORKING MECHANIC AND HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS A AIR FLOW SENSOR. THAT PART WAS REPLACED A COUPLE DAYS LATER. I DROVE THE CAR TO RUN SEVERAL ERRANDS AND AS L WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE ON ST. CHARLES RD IN BERKELEY, HEADED EAST, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AGAIN, MY FATHER MET ME AT THE LOCATION, GOT IT TO START AND DROVE IT TO A WORKING MECHANIC. AFTER PLACING IT ON A MACHINE FOR REVIEW, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS HE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. I WAS CHECKING ONLINE FOR PRICING BEFORE AGREEING TO REPAIRS ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME MAKE/MODEL FOR HESITATION IN ACCELERATION, DUE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW, I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S A FAULTY CONVERTER ISSUE ON MY END, AND I'D LIKE THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAD NO POWER TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE CAR WASN'T RUNNING. I HAD HIT THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO POWER BRAKE. THEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE. MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WAS BAD.

THE 3 TO 4 SECOND LAG IN ACCELERATION HAS RETURNED. DEALER WILL DO NOTHING BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ANOTHER RECALL

I WAS DRIVING ON I94 WEST IN THE PASSING LANE AT 72 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THE DASHBOARD FLASHED 72, THEN 62, AND 52 MILES WITH AN ICON SHOWING THAT THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC ALLOWED ME TO COAST TO EXIT 112 (A MARSHALL, MI REST STOP) WHERE I WAITED 1.5 HOURS FOR A TOW. GENERAL MOTORS CHARGED ME FOR THE TOW. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND MY CAR IS STILL WITH GM FOR SERVICE 45 MILES FROM MY HOME. I AM REPORTING THIS INCIDENT SO THAT YOU ARE AWARE AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN TO OTHERS. I WAS LUCKY. IT WAS SCARY AND I AM STILL QUITE SHAKEN. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY A YEAR OR MORE IN AGE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT IT HAS A MAJOR DEFECT. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND WOULD PREFER A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE INSTEAD OF THE ONE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

1ST EVENT ON 9/6/14: ENTERING FREEWAY AT 45 MPH, INCREASED ACCELERATION TO MERGE AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LAGGED WITH ZERO POWER FOR 2-3 SECONDS WHEN THE CAR TRIED TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. 2ND EVENT 9-11-14: ACCELERATED FROM A STOP. OPERATED PROPERLY THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR, THE ENGINE LAGGED/LOST POWER. ACCELERATOR CONTINUED TO BE DEPRESSED AND 2-3 SECONDS LATER, FULL POWER CAME BACK. ADDITIONAL EVENT AUG-2014: A PASSING MANEUVER REQUIRED HARD ACCELERATION WHICH RESULTED IN A LAG WHEN THE TRANSMISSION TRIED TO SHIFT INTO A PASSING GEAR. AGAIN WE HAD ZERO POWER WITH THE ENGINE DROPPING TO IDLE FOR AT LEAST 3 SECONDS AND THEN SUDDENLY COMING BACK UP TO SPEED. NOTE: WE'VE HAD THE CAR REPROGRAMMED PER NHTSA RECALL 14132 IN JUNE 2014. THIS IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT OCCURRING AT MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS AND GEAR SELECTION. CAR IS UNSAFE AS THE POWER LOSS COULD'VE RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION. *TR
