Known issues on the 2005 SRX. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition system: weight on the key ring can move the key out of the run position, and if that happens during a crash the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury. The second covers the rear axle assembly, where a rear differential pinion seal that does not meet specification can develop a fluid leak; a resulting differential failure can cause loss of motive power and possibly loss of control. The third covers the rear suspension, where a toe link with an incorrect weld could separate, letting the affected rear wheel turn in or out and affecting vehicle control. Owners have filed 122 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an ignition-switch inspection to a rear differential seal replacement or a suspension toe link check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 SRX.
