Problem overview

Some Cadillac SRX owners report experiencing significant brake failure issues, including a sudden loss of stopping power. These owners have noted instances where the brake pedal goes down to the floor with minimal stopping pressure, particularly after sudden stops. Additionally, there are reports of the anti-lock brake system hesitating when braking at speeds between 15-30 mph. Many drivers have faced repeated brake power loss, especially when braking at low speeds, resulting in the pedal going to the floor before the vehicle eventually stops. The 2011 Cadillac SRX has received 30 NHTSA complaints regarding service brakes, highlighting a recurring problem with brake power loss at an average of 39,010 miles. Some owners describe the brake pedal as spongy, offering little to no braking power, although this sometimes resolves after the vehicle sits for a period. Given the seriousness of these issues, it is recommended that affected owners have their brakes inspected by a qualified technician to ensure proper diagnosis and resolution.
