Cadillac SRX in Florida, United States Mar 2015 - Apr 2015
Apr 2015 111000 mi US $900	Ck Engine light on, dealer made written promise to correct, he did not, this began a chain of shop visits to our mechanic to correct problem shown on CEL codes. Problem caused by pure ignorance on side of mechanic. Car runs, drives extremely well, no problems with anything noted except CEL is still on. Took to local mechanic. Dealer had "fixed" problems by using super glue on leaky hoses. Repaired, CEL still on. When replacing the hoses, shop got a CEL code for the MAF sensor, this was replaced at this time - $175 - CEL still staying on. Car runs fine -The MAF is the part that the dealer said his mechanic replaced. CEL still on, returned to shop code now showing left bank catalytic converter. Ordered part, replaced manifold and catalytic converter. $350 CEL still on, back to shop, also hearing a bump when starting quick or stopping quick. Diagnosed as needing rear upper/lower bushings, also found rattling shifter cable. No work done, just diagnosis. Took back to regular shop, had rear bushings replaced, replaced shifter lever, shop found a problem with drive shaft bushings, scheduled for repair next week. CEL still on. I bought parts, labor this trip was only $75 I have ordered parts for drive shaft, since I have a discount source. Will return to shop on the 14th for repairs. CEL still on, shows air flow issue, but all of this has been repaired. So far amazingly I am only out about $400 for all.
