The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

PLEASE INVESTIGATE! APPROX. 3 DAYS AGO I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA & APPLIED BRAKES. SPEED LIMIT IS 25, BUT I WAS GOING SLOWER, JUST TO THE CORNER PAST MY HOME. NOT ONLY DID BRAKES NOT WORK- THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN TO ABOUT 35-40 MPH- NO GAS APPLIED. TRIED PUMPING BRAKES, SHIFTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, REVERSE, PARK- ALL WHILE AT AN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATED SPEED. I PLOWED INTO A RESIDENTIAL YARD WHICH HAD A SMALL HILL THINKING MAYBE I COULD STOP THE CAR THAT WAY. THAT DIDN'T WORK. I SWERVED BACK INTO THE STREET; CAR STILL REVVING AND MOVING FORWARD. AT THAT POINT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH INTO A HOUSE, POLE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENDED UP HALFWAY ON THE STREET AND HALFWAY ON A CURB AFTER CONTINUOUSLY TRYING THE BRAKES AND SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK (VEHICLE STILL ACCELERATING AS IF IT WAS POSSESSED!!) AND JUST BEFORE HITTING A LIGHT POLE, WITH DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN THINKING I'D RATHER JUMP OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE THAN DIE FROM RAMMING INTO A POLE, HOUSE OR CAR- I THOUGHT TO TURN PHYSICALLY TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. THIS IS THE ONLY WAS THE CAR WOULD STOP MOVING. THIS WAS A VERY DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER- WHATEVER IT IS. MY MECHANIC STILL HAS NOT DETERMINED WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WE KNOW IT ISN'T AS SIMPLE AS JUST FIXING THE BRAKES. I AND/OR OTHER PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE PROCESS AND EVEN WORSE, MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WHICH THANKFULLY THEY WERE NOT. THIS WAS SUCH A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE THAT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE. IF I HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED, I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT I FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING IT TO ANYONE ELSE- IT'S THAT DANGEROUS! PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THIS PROBLEM IS DEADLY. 2004 CADILLAC SRX 4DR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DISPLAY IN THE VEHICLE SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, THE VEHICLE THEN LOST ALL POWER AND STOPPED ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND WILL NO LONGER START. WE BELIEVE THE ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, WE FOUND CASE #10287 AND FOUND THAT GM OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TIMING CHAIN, UNTIL FEB 2017. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FEBRUARY OF 2018. WE CALLED GM AND SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVES THAT SAID THERE WAS IN FACT A RECALL FOR OUR EXACT MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR FOR THE PREMATURE WARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN, BUT IT WAS NOT WITH OUR VIN.
