The first occurrence was in September 2011. I was headed to italy and had to drive my vehicle to atlanta so it could be inspected and shipped. The day before I received a total service from the dealership. That morning I pulled into the gas station to get gas. As I tried to pull off, the stabili trak light and check engine light came on and the car would not accelerate. I immediately turned the car off and waited a few minutes before turning it back on. After turning the car on I was able to put the car in drive and continue on my trip. The stabili trak light turned off however the check engine light remained on. I later called the dealership however, they could not state what the problem was and instructed me to reset the vehicle by turning it off and turning it back on after a couple of minutes. It happened one other time while in italy and I did what the dealership suggested and reset the vehicle. It seemed to be a temporary fix. Since returning back to the states, and being in my current residence for over a year, I began to receive safety recalls that were dated in the summer of 2014. I started to do research on all recalls for this particular make and model and found one relating to the transmission cable. My car has all the issues relating to the recall however my car was not placed on the list. I brought the matter up to a dealership close to my location and was told I would be held liable for the defects as the transmission cable recall did not relate to my vehicle.

As I approached an intersection with a green traffic light a vehicle driving on the crossing street failed to stop at red light and I had to accelerate to avoid being hit and my vehicle failed to accelerate and almost got hit. As I tried to resume my travel and enter a freeway my car would not go over 35 miles per hour until I had to stop and shut off the engine and restart, it then functioned as it should. This is the second time this has happened upon acceleration. I then reported this to General Motors customer support and was told to take the vehicle to a dealer. I did and was told they found nothing wrong, and failed to repair. Upon researching I have found that this is a common problem with this 2011 Cadillac Srx.there are reports on a Cadillac user forum that have had the transmission computer module reflashed as a solution. I have mentioned this to cavender Cadillac of san antonio but they refused to attempt this solution.

Pulled into get gas and could not put car in park or any other gear. Car had to be towed to dealer. The exact problem was identified in 2011 and GM is stating that my vehicle is not a part of the recall when it is the exact issue.

I have noticed slow shifting to higher gear almost from day one. It is most noticeable when driving down hill and approaching red traffic light and decelerating, then light turn green and I want to accelerate and I notice hesitation ( disengagement ) to a degree that my upper body actually moves forward. That hesitation or delay is dangerous when I am entering expressway and I need to accelerate quickly, to escape fast approaching semi-truck. I mentioned that issue to the dealer I purchased Srx from and my regular servicing dealer but each time I am told that is the way this transmission is. With re-call involving 2013 Srx for this problem, I believe previous models 2-11 and 2012 should be included because it is dangerous at times.

From a complete stop, attempting to pull out into traffic, vehicle exhibits lag or hesitation when accelerating, even with accelerator pushed to the floor. This situation has the potential to become a safety issue in the event a driver is unable to accelerate adequately with oncoming traffic. Vehicle has the 3.0L vvt DOHC V6 sidi engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission, all wheel drive (AWD). Thank you.

I have a turbocharged Srx. I was attempting to make a turn onto a road, as I hit the accelerator, the vehicle hesitated for a significant time, as if the transmission was disengaged. After a second or two, it suddenly engaged. Additionally, there have been times when I attempted to quickly increase speed, and felt significant hesitation. This is especially dangerous when pulling on to a road with high speed traffic on it, the vehicle is unresponsive to fast acceleration. Sometimes there is even a revving, and a sudden "bang" as the transmission engages. I spoke to the dealer on several occasions. I was told this dealership did not sell the turbocharged version of this vehicle because of this issue, and nothing could be done, but they were aware of it. The service manager indicated he had one other vehicle like mine serviced at his facility which had the exact same problems, but they could do nothing. Not sure of the percentage of 2011 Srx's with the turbocharger, but I expect it is low, and was discontinued in 2012. Not having the ability to accelerate especially in front of oncoming traffic behind you is inherently dangerous.
