ACCELERATING IS STALLED. ENGINE IS GOES INTO A PULL AND TUG MODE IN ENGINE. CANT GET IN RPM SPEED IN PEDAL. ENGINE IS HEAVY. BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFFENS AND SLIGHT BRAKE MAKES SRX STOP SUDDENLY. ALL THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE ON HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING IN WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION . ALSO I'VE TAKING THE SRX IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS SEVERAL TIMES. AND NO CODE ARE FOUND TO REPORT ON THE VEHICLE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO CAUTIOUSLY APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V212000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 13V097000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), ALTHOUGH THE CONTACT'S FAILURES WERE SIMILAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE TWO RECALL CAMPAIGNS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED CRASHING HEAD ON INTO THE VEHICLE PARKED IN THE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY CAR DRIVING THAT CAR BACK APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET. MY CAR CONTINUED ON FOR APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 40 FEET AFTER THAT IMPACT BEFORE I BRAKED HARD TO A STOP. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW TIMES. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.
I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AND NEEDED TO CROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I GOT TO THE SECOND LANE AND STARTED TO MOVE INTO THE THIRD LANE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, IT WAS AS IF I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE CAR BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO BRAKE LIGHTS, SINCE I WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, YET THE CAR BEHAVED AS IF I HAD HIT THE BRAKES. THIS IS THE 3RD NEAR MISS DUE TO THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS OCCASIONALLY FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, BUT IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND I FEAR AN ACCIDENT IS INEVITABLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT, SINCE I COULDN'T MAKE IT HAPPEN ON DEMAND, THEY TOOK NO ACTION. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES APPEARING. IN THAT CASE, I DON'T SEE WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKES IF I CAN REPRODUCE IT FOR A TECH OR NOT. IF THERE ARE NO CODES APPEARING THEN MY THOROUGH DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT BECAUSE THE TECH IS NOT GOING TO GET ANY FURTHER INFORMATION OTHER THAN EXPERIENCING THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHERS REPORTING THIS BEHAVIOR ON CADILLACFORUMS.COM, AND THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL FOR THE 2013 SRX FOR THIS BEHAVIOR. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING ANOTHER LANE. SOMETIMES THE CAR BUCKS AND JERKS BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES, OTHER TIMES IT JUST ACTS LIKE I HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOWS DOWN, BUT EVENTUALLY IT ACCELERATES AND RETURNS TO NORMAL BEHAVIOR. VERY DISCONCERTING. *TR
I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GAIN SPEED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED AS IF MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND MY TRANSFER CASE MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN DECELERATION OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER BUT THE DEFECT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CONTACT INDICATED SHE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE RECURRINGLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 280.
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE SLOWING THE VEHICLE WHILE STILL IN DRIVE AND WHILE PULLING THE VEHICLE INTO A CURB PARKING. THE ACCELERATION COULD NOT BE STOPPED USING BRAKES AND STRUCK A PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF THE CADILLAC. *TR
