There are 3 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2016 Cadillac SRXin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
BRAKE, ABS, Wrench, check engine lights all began intermittently coming on. Before we could bring it into the dealer, it went into "limp mode" while at a very dangerous time and would not move forward while in "Drive". Had to abandon the car in a roadside parking lot. Finally able to get it to the dealer and after their inspection we were told it was NOT repairable. The EBCM module (part of the brake system) was defective and NO parts existed. When we pressed the dealer, no other options or resolutions were offered. Even if a part could be found at eBay, re-manufacturers, or junk yards, they would not touch it. I have had not luck finding a part, re-manufacturer, or repair shop that could be of any help. Right now it is a worthless piece of junk. All correspondence with the dealer has been verbal to this point.
The contact owns a 2016 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated while driving at 10mph and approaching a stop sign, the contact depressed on the brake pedal but the vehicle did not stop which caused the contact to crash into the rear-end of the vehicle in front. The air bags did not deploy. There was no warning light illuminated. There was no medical treatment needed at the scene, however, the driver in the other vehicle reached out to an attorney the day after the accident to state they were hurt. A police report was filed. The vehicle was damaged where both the front driver and passenger headlight and finder were crushed in. However, the contact was able to continue to drive after the accident to their residence. The contact took the vehicle to an auto body shop to have an estimate on the damage on the vehicle, however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 67,000.
I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET WITH A STEEP HILL. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. MY BREAKS STARTED TO VIBRATE AND THEN WENT OUT COMPLETELY AND I ROLLED BACK INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME.
