I have a small problem with my car and I am not sure if I should worry yet. I have a 2014 Cadillac SRX and I use it for work and for the school run. For about three weeks now, when I put the car in drive after it sits overnight, it waits for a second or two before it starts to move. Then it goes with a small thump. During the day it feels normal, so I kept telling myself it was nothing. My wife says I think too much about the car. My neighbor has an old Escalade and he told me it could be low gearbox oil or a small part that sticks when the car is cold. My cousin says I should just wait until something really breaks. I did not know who to believe, so one night I read about it online. I opened a page about Cadillac cars on a Sharjah website to learn how the gearbox, the oil and the computer work together. It said a delay in the morning can be an early sign, and that a scan and an oil check are the best first steps before anyone opens the gearbox. That made me feel calmer. Then a coworker told me to look for an Affordable Cadillac transmission service near Industrial Area 10 and ask them to show me the oil and the fault codes on paper. He said a good place will explain things in easy words and will not push me into a big repair. I liked that advice because money is a little tight right now. So I have some questions. Is a delay only in the morning usually the oil, or can it be a sensor? Is it safe to keep driving the car every day until it is checked? Should I ask for a scan and an oil check before I agree to any repair? And about how long does a first check take, and what is a fair price? If you had the same thing on your SRX, XT5 or Escalade, please tell me what it was and about how much you paid. Thanks a lot.
