2016 Cadillac Srx

On Sept 26 2021 I was driving my car when I noticed it began jumpy and would hesitate at high speeds then when coming to a stop. After coming to a stop my car seemed it was stalling out while sitting at the stop light. Proceeded to go and my car didn't want to go into 1st-3rd gears. I just got this car 5 months ago It is very concerning when I need to make a sudden acceleration and cannot. I am highly concerned my car has a recall that never was issued to fix this dangerous problem.

I ASKED THE DEALER IF THE VEHICLE WE WERE CONTEMPLATING BUYING HAD ANY ACCIDENTS.DEALER SHOWED ME A CARFAX THAT DID NOT REFLECT ANY ACCIDENTS AND STATED AS SUCH. UPON GOING IN TO TRADE MY VEHICLE THIS WEEKEND I WAS MADE AWARE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THREE ACCIDENTS WITH STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND THE VEHICLE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN PAID. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE DEALER FOR THE CARFAX. THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE ACCIDENT HAPPENED LESS THAN 30 DAYS BEFORE SELLING TO ME AND HAD NOT BEEN REFLECTED ON THE CARFAX YET THE DEALER KNEW. I ALSO PAID OVER $500 FOR A FUEL INJECTOR ISSUE THAT WAS CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRING. ON A LONG TRIP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTING FLASHING. I GOT IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP IMMEDIATELY.

MY CAR WAS IN LINE FOR A CAR WASH AT VAL WARD CADILLAC PARKING LOT. MY ELECTRONIC BRAKE WAS ON. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATED THIS. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE BUT STATIONARY FOR APPROX TWO MINUTES. THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS HIT IN THE BACK. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR SURGED FORWARD. MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CARS WERE SEPARATED BY VAL WARD PERSONNEL. THEY HAD TO RELEASE MY ELECTRONIC BRAKE IN ORDER TO MOVE MY CAR. PER CADILLAC, IF ELECTRONIC BRAKE IS ENGAGED, IT WILL RELEASE WHEN GAS PEDAL PRESSURE IS APPLIED. MY FEET WERE ON THE FLOOR OF CAR WHEN SURGE OCCURRED. I DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. CONVENIENTLY, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VAL WARD CADILLAC BODY SHOP OFFICE. AS FAR AS I KNOW THE CAR WAS NOT TOWED, BUT PUSHED INTO REPAIR SHOP. I WILL NEVER USE THAT ELECTRONIC BRAKE AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A WARNING TO ELECTRONIC BRAKE USERS. 7 MPH LISTED BELOW IS A GUESS, AS I WENT FROM STOPPED IN LINE TO SURGING FORWARD. MILEAGE LISTED IS APPROXIMATE AS CADILLAC SERVICE RECORDS 9 DAYS PRIOR REFLECT 11,134 MI.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. IN ADDITION, THE STABILITRAC LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.
