Under the new system, the four test conditions are combined mathematically into an “Overall Vehicle Score.”
The overall rating is based on frontal and side crash tests in addition to rollover resistance testing. The Cadillac models were tested under NHTSA’s revised New Car Assessment Program implemented for the 2011 model year. NHTSA has announced a total of 21 five-star overall vehicle scores for safety for 2012 models. The Cadillac additions bring to nine the number of General Motors 2012 models with 5-star overall vehicle scores for safety.

The complaints are organized into groups with data published by vehicle, vehicle component, and specific problem. Both dealers said that GM had not sent them bulletins about this problem.Ĭ ® is an online automotive complaint resource that uses graphs to show automotive defect patterns, based on complaint data submitted by visitors to the site. Then early in 2014, the same thing happened, this time as I came to a stop-no power, car restarted, no codes, could not duplicate. After arriving at my destination, I took it to a Cadillac dealer who was unable to find any codes stored and could not duplicate the problem. I slowly moved onto the highway and accelerated. I pushed the brake and ignition and it started. GM offered to tow us to the nearest dealer, but no one was open because it was Sunday. I put the car in park, then pushed harder and harder on the accelerator, but there was no sound, no power. I was in the left of two lanes and was able to steer and brake into the median which was divided by a concrete barrier from the North bound traffic. Two months after we had purchased this new Srx, my wife and I were driving South on interstate 77 in North Carolina at 65 mph when suddenly the car had no power. Sometimes the car bucks and jerks back and forth a few times, other times it just acts like I hit the brakes and slows down, but eventually it accelerates and returns to normal behavior. I fear for my safety since I never know when this is going to happen as I try to accelerate, especially when entering another lane. There are others reporting this behavior on, and there was even a recall for the 2013 Srx for this behavior. If there are no codes appearing then my thorough description of the problem should be sufficient because the tech is not going to get any further information other than experiencing the loss of acceleration problem. In that case, I don't see what difference it makes if I can reproduce it for a tech or not. They said there were no diagnostic codes appearing. I have taken it to the dealer but, since I couldn't make it happen on demand, they took no action. I have experienced this occasionally for the past year and a half, but it is happening more frequently now and I fear an accident is inevitable. 
This is the 3rd near miss due to this happening. The car behind me nearly rear-ended me because there was no warning, no brake lights, since I was pressing on the accelerator, yet the car behaved as if I had hit the brakes. The car had no power and would not accelerate for a few seconds. When I pressed on the accelerator, it was as if I slammed on the brakes. I got to the second lane and started to move into the third lane. I was entering the freeway during rush hour traffic, and needed to cross 4 lanes of traffic.
