  • it wil just no go - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I thought I was doing my wife a favor, she drove 3 different Ford Explorer Sports for about 12 years. I told her I wanted to get her a different car and showed her a 2004 SRX. Well it was love at first sight, nice car all loaded up, we bought it. Well it does not, always, like to start when it is warm. She has been stranded several times and needed rescued. When it does this it will not turn over, will not shut down the electrical system and holds on to the key. I took it to my brother, a service director at Mercedes, and he sent me to a GM guy. The GM guy worried about it for several days and found some advice on the internet, he removed the 7.5amp fuse for the security system.

  • Adjustable pedals - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I love the car, its perfect for my needs. I have had some issues with the wheel pulling to the left, which i asume is the alignment or suspension also at 64,000 and i had to have an engine sensor replaced. Which I have heard to be common with this model. I think the sensor has something to do with the Pedal placement. I was using the pedals extended a bit, because im on the short side. I was having some delay with the gas pedal. very strange. It was fine when i put the pedals back to the farthest position. but that is a feature that I do not get to use now. Over all I have not had too many issues. Purchased about a month ago so if anything comes up I will change my review.

  • Transfer Case and Head Light Problems - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I have had the head light in my Cadillac fixed twice now its time for my inspection and they say I have to pay to get it fixed again. I think its a defect cause the first time I had it fixed at the Cadillac GMC dealership. Also my transfer case is messed up when I take off it makes a thud sound. Anyone know how much it cost to fix a transfer case. Stability system light has been since five months after buying the car.

  • Outstanding All-Around Family Vehicle - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I was a little concerned about buying a used SRX, having read about many owners negative experiences. However, after driving this car once I knew it would be ours. This is a spacious and comfortable SUV-wagon-crossover- whatever but it drives like a sport sedan! Im a big guy that is used to driving a new full-sized Chevy pickup, but the SRX fits me like a glove. After putting a few thousand miles on the car and a couple long rides hauling both people and cargo, I have to admit there isnt much more I could ask for. The V6 is surprisingly powerful, quick-revving, and can deliver decent MPG if you behave yourself. For a used AWD luxury vehicle, this was an amazing value.

  • Great used car for the $$$ - 2004 Cadillac SRX

    AWD transmission could be smoother. Has some interior noises at 48k miles. Bose system is grreat!

  • Love My SRX - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    We went to the Lexus dealership to test drive a RX300 and while they were getting it ready, I spotted the SRX and asked to take it for a test drive because I loved how it looked. Bought it right after the test drive. Just love driving it. I love the versatility of the 3rd row, the sunroof is amazing. Second row is slightly higher (theater seating) which pax really like. Great sound system. The only negative is the paint on the roof rack is peeling. I also had a leak in the jack storage compartment which the Lexus dealership paid to have fixed. I would never buy a brand new SRX because of the cost, but this one was 3 years old and had depreciated to $22k. Looks brand new!

  • Comments & Suggestions - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    First, I love this car. Ride, handling and comfort are excellent. Navigations system is first rate and easy to use. It could stand some improvements. Why is there no glove box light or underhood light? Why is there no lumbar support or telescoping steering wheel in a fine car of this caliber?

  • I love my SRX, only had cosmetic problem - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    I love my SRX. Its fun to drive, has plenty of power. The only problems Ive had with it is cosmetic issues. My radio dash and door handles started to peel, delaminate. I had those replaced now everything looks new again, but did notice it will most likely delaminate again. Other than that, its a joy to drive and seems very reliable so far.

  • Glad I have a 100k warrenty - 2004 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    We bought The 2004 SRX 13 months ago and it has been in the shop 3 times, 2 for check engine light which ended up being a faulty gas cap, 1 time for a bad wheel bearing and spark plug wire. nothing major. Everything was covered under warranty. We looked at several different cars but Cadillac offers the best pre-owned warranty out there. You can get a very good deal on a 3 year old Cadillac with a new car warranty.
