  WORST CAR EVER BUILT - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By romojondro - June 3 - 4:22 pm

  I have never owned a car with more problems than this. At 80k miles with a clean title this car started to fall apart. It leaked water in the passenger side, would turn off on the free way, had abs issues, needed a new starter, blown shocks, two bad headlights, water pump fell out of the car, veered off in directions it felt like at high speed, had electrical problems galore, cd player malfunctioned constantly. Dashboard cracked, defective airbags and over all a commuters nightmare/ death trap.

  it wil just no go - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By jimm222 - March 31 - 9:17 pm

  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.

  More Than a AWD Station Wagon - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By guy41 - October 1 - 7:08 am

  I purchased the 2004 SRX to replace a Buick Riviera and a Chevrolet AWD Astro van. It was difficult finding a vehicle with the sporty ride and handling of the Buick that could also perform some of the daily tasks of the Astro. Suprisingly the SRX does it all with style and grace. I like this model more than the new ones for its sporty station wagon style. Even after 102k miles it makes me smile when Im behind the wheel and I would buy another.

  Adjustable pedals - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By candace3 - October 19 - 5:01 pm

  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.

  Best Used car I have purchased. - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By 2bogey - August 25 - 4:02 pm

  I was looking for a vehicle that I could load with stuff and take off for a long weekend, but still want to drive it daily. I found the perfect comprimise. V-8 Northstar power and all the Cadillac comforts. Sunroof is about as close as a convertable as you can get. The rear DVD is great for my son on those long trips and the heated seats are heaven. Paid just under 14k with 60k miles. This is probably the one that sat on the showroom floor in 2004. Dont get me wrong its not perfect but It fits every need I have as well as the wants. MPGs are around 18 or so but I do drive with a heavy foot since the V-8 makes me smile. Not for everyone but a great car if it fits your needs.

  Save your $, this cars a lemon - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By annalisef - July 12 - 12:17 pm

  My 2004 SRX has 56,000 miles on it- in the past nine months I had the power steering rack replaced 3 times. There are numerous electrical problems on the car- doors wont stay shut while driving, third row of seats wont go down, battery keeps dying unexpected and Ive replaced it. There was battery drainage in two spots- interior lights blew out, constant engine leaks from trans fluid and power steering. In the past two months, it has been in the shop more than I have driven it. The most unreliable car. I will never purchase another Cadillac product. From what I have read, many other people have experienced the same type of problems with this year/make car. Dealing with Cadillac is awful too.

  Transfer Case and Head Light Problems - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Charity - October 1 - 2:00 am

  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.

  Luxurious & Reliable, worth every penny! - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By bobscadisrx04 - August 24 - 1:46 pm

  I never thought I would enjoy a crossover vehicle as much as the Cadillac Srx! The performance is amazing, I always tell people its like driving a luxury tank around. Very safe and handles like a dream. Not crazy about the gas mileage, but thats my only complaint. The seats are amazingly comfortable, and the features are impressive. I dont have the sunrooof, but almost every other feature, and its been a great car for me. I owned an Audi before, and will never go back. Cadillac is the way to go!

  Would buy another - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By thuff - August 2 - 6:49 pm

  I bought my 2004 in 2005 and it went in the shop a few times for this or that but was always taken care of. always given a Cadillac replacement vehicle but my only complaint are that the turn light go out a lot because they are running lights also. I love my car my wife has a convertible mustang and we always take my car because of comfort it rides like a dream the a/c is so good it will make you cold on a day of temps over 100 degrees. Id buy another in a minute!

  Never Again - 2004 Cadillac SRX
  By Super T - May 27 - 11:18 am

  After owning Acura, Lexus and BMW vehicles we decided to try a Cadillac since we thought the SRX was for us. What a mistake. GM still doesnt get it. The sunroof had a rattle that could never be fixed. Gaps were found in the body panels that were letting water in and causing mold. You couldnt get out of the car without wiping your leg on the rocker below the door.
