Hi Guys.
i have had the WORST of lucks with my 2005 Cadillac SRX 3.6L V6.
The car was not running when I got it. According to the seller, it only needed a new starter! I bought it real cheap.
now, my NIGHTMARE begins.
1- Starter was fine, the car was just stuck in anti theft mode. We dont know what we did to the shifter, but the car all of the sudden started to run.
2-The car began to overheat. We bought new fans, and flushed the cooling system.
3-After that, the timing chain began to give hell. We opened the engine, changed timing chain, tensioners, and guides. The car started right up.
4- Now, the transmissionis over heating. Flushed the transmission and changed the filter. Worked fine
5- Coolant was leaking from the expansion tank. Turns out, the cap was broken and needd to be replaced.
6- Freaking tansmission starts again acting all weird and dowshifting hard at low speeds. At this point im ready to set fire to this thing.
7- compute is giving a code p0700 and the car is going into no cranck no start mode. We have to short the starter relay a couple of times to get it started.
I have to say, that I am super dissapoonted at the amount of problems I have had with this car. One after the next.
i have no idea on how to fox this P0700 code and the hard downshifting problem. The fluid has been checked and it is full
