Purchased 11/16 with 62K miles, 12/16 replaced high pressure steering line, 5/18 replaced all timing chains, 1/19 replaced steering cooler. 2-weeks later lower end rod knock-connecting rod bearing(s) bad. No warning, no sounds and the oil was changed same time as steering cooler replaced. No notice of shavings in oil. Oil has been changed every 3-5000 miles. All service performed at Cadillac dealership. $8999 to replace engine. Kbb car trade in value $7300, now $1000 from dealership. At 60 I've owned a lot of automobiles, several Cadillac's among them and take excellent care of them. I have a pickup with 243K just to show how well I take care of them. This out of the blue blown connecting rod bearings is highly suspect. Especially just having had the dealer perform an oil change. If the bearings were going bad there would have been shavings in the oil, and would have been obvious. Side note. When I checked the codes before being towed to the dealership it had a P0017 crankshaft sensor. Same code when I had to replace the timing chains.

My 2010 Cadillac srx4 with 110,000 miles just had the check engine light come illuminate. As I pulled out of my driveway on to a city street the next morning to go to the GM dealership to have the car scanned, the vehicle would only travel at 10 mph. I was almost rear ended by the vehicle coming behind me. I pulled off the road, waited for traffic to clear and took off slowly. After traveling about 200 feet, the vehicle began to operate as normal. However, the same scenario occurred at the next stoplight. I had the car scanned and the code came up as P000017. I was informed that the timing chain would need to be replaced. The estimated price to repair my car would be $ 2,200. 00. I have been to numerous sites and forums and discovered that this is a common problem with these engines. GM acknowledge this problem with the previous generation Srx model but has yet to acknowledge the problem with 2010 model year vehicles. GM's customer service team simply states that GM is sorry and says that you are welcome to register a complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They offered and assigned a case number to myself which basically acknowledged that I called GM. How many more GM automobiles do you think I will purchase?

At 100,000 miles check engine light has come on and a code scanner obd2 used has reported a P0017 code that translates to one of three things. 1. oil drain tube interior engine blocked 2. sensors 3 timing chain. Have done engine flush, reset code, code came back on next day same code P0017. Why is there no GM recall on this vehicle" took to a repair shop, they replaced sensors, code came back on in a week. Present mileage 106353. GM dealers want $2900 to fix. My warranty issued by dealer is a gwc warranty. They will not fix/take engine apart to look at timing chain unless something breaks.
