My last vehicle was a GMC Envoy and that traction control engaged at the first sign of even a wheel chirp. If you're in the middle or a turn and do it, you're now going straight (instead of turning) immediately as the traction control is very late to engage. Torque steer is very prominent on the front wheel drive model and will "light up" the front wheels if you mash the pedal at any speed under 20mph. Performance is great but be careful with your right foot. Cadillac should really look at this for the future. Certainly doesn't have the "premium" sound it should. I have heard richer sound from many other base line stereos in other cars. The stereo is a little disappointing, given it's a Bose. Driving in "ECO" mode will save you a fair amount of fuel but it wants to switch to a higher gear too soon, giving the false impression there is some hesitation in the engine. Both covered under the warranty and taken care of. #2 was an adjustment needed for the forward edge of the sunroof glass. Cadillac has a TSB for this and it requires a simple installation of a plastic filler strip for that space. #1 was as excessive space between the roof line and the top of the rear hatch. I believe it takes it to 7 years/70,000 miles but I'm not sure. For my money, that made a huge difference in deciding to buy private, or from Cadillac.

Is the SRX a "Certified used" model from a dealer? If so, the standard warranty is extended far past the original factory warranty, if it is. First let me say this website has been a huge help in locating, and correcting, some issues. Purchased my first SRX last August, a 2012 Performance trim.
