Recall Alert: 2004 Cadillac SRX

GM has issued a recall for 17,301 Cadillac SRX SUVs due to a problem with the automatic transmission. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the transmission shift lever can be knocked from the Park position when the brake hasn’t been depressed or even when the ignition is off.

This is especially dangerous if the vehicle is parked on a hill (or at any angle) if the gear slips out of park and the car begins to roll. Dealers will replace components of the shift lever that should solve the problem, free of charge.

Owners can contact Cadillac beginning in December at 800-982-2339 or the NHTSA hotline at 888-327-4236.
