Transmission shifts very erratically when accelerating. Vehicle was recalled this year for this problem but the fix failed to solve the problem. The dealer is telling me that this is normal for an electronic transmission. This is insulting as my last vehicles had this and did not shift like the Srx. I am concerned that a major failure lies ahead that could strand my family or cause an accident and obviously cost thousands to repair or replace.

The vehicle lost power immediately upon acceleration. The issue repeated itself twice since this first time. It presents danger of collision to anyone inside. Despite having a warranty nobody is willing to repair the issue.

Cadillac Srx, delivered on 5/31/13 (purchased 5/27/13). Srx serviced on 11/11/13 because of warning messages-service rear axel&AWD on 10/30/13-called dealer immediately/arranged service on 11/11/13-mileage 6045). Only did computer updates. On 11/13/13(mileage 6277) came to a complete stop and when turning right the car was in very slow motion & barely moving with my foot on the gas, finally it moved. It happened again on 11/15/13 (mileage 6498) but turning left & another car was approaching on the right, thought I was going to be hit. Called dealer & told to bring it back. Dealer quite a distance from me afraid to drive the car there. On 11/19/13 (thought I could get to GM dealer (sat from 11/15/13) & turning right it did it again. I was quite upset and called onstar to tow it. GM dealer, informed, might not have the diagnostics that the Cadillac dealer has to evaluate my Srx.they could not tell what my dealership had done from notes on the servicing on the Srx. Only thing found was to do ev update. On evening of 11/26/13 (mileage 6708)had acceleration problem again turning right from a complete stop. Called dealer & arranged to drop it off on 11/29/13 (mileage 7034)& receive a replacement car while mine was checked out. On a highway I went to pass a car and lost acceleration for a few seconds. At least I was going downhill or the cars coming up in the lane I was switching to would have hit me. Dealer cannot replicate the problem but did find that there was an update on heating/ac needed. Got Srx on 12/4/13.the dealer only drove my car 8 miles to do any testing. Again acceleration problem on 12/19/13( mileage 7584)& it was from a complete stop turning right but lasted a much longer time. Also when backing out of a parking space the problem arose yet again & called the dealership.12/21/13 having Srx looked at again. 7 months old &same problem. Is it a lemon?

When entering the street from my driveway, the transmission failed to engage for four to five seconds. This has happened several times. When I took the vehicle in to galles & davis in albuquerque, they said the problem was due to an electronic acceleration system and that nothing culd be done.
