SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
a few months ago I started noticing a loud noise coming from the rear of my vehicle. Then my Service Traction Control light, Service Stabilitrak light, Service Rear Axle light, the Stabilitrak malfunction indicator lamp all come on my display screen. I took my tires to have them rotated and the rear tires were unevenly worn I was told. The other thing that is happening is that my steering wheel does not stay going straight, it veers off to the right.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield wipers stopped working while in rain storm. Motor was still running but the wiper transmission was disconnected from motor. My 2 year old grandson was in the car at time of failure. They were able to safely return home. This incident could have caused a serious accident.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This Vehicle has a design flaw with sunroof which leaks water into the car from floor board passenger side. Sunroof Drain lines undersized even for a standard sized sunroof. As of result of this, the drain lines, at best are barely adequate for light rain and intense rain cloggs and rain enters the car. I have taken to dealer twice paid $651.00 repair and not fixed. Dealer should have correct information to repair the drain issue. Cadillac of Novi, Service Manager will not return phone calls. Very Poor service for a Luxury product.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE SEVERAL RECALLS THAT WERE NOT DONE TO MY VEHICLE. I MOVED AROUND ALOT AND WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER, THEY SAID NO. I FOUND OUT THAT I PAID FOR SOME OF MY RECALLS INCLUDING THE LATEST ONE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS/ HEADLAMPS. THEY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS WITH WATER, MOISTURE, THE DEALERSHIP SAID WEAR AND TEAR , NOT SO, FAULTY FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS WORLD-WIDE. I HAD PURCHASED MY VEHICLE STRAIGHT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN 2011. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER AND OWNER OF MY VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER ALL THE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE SO MY CAR CAN GET FIXED. THANKS AGAIN IN ADVANCED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE CAR IS SWAYING BACK AND FORTH AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH ON GOOD ROADS. HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID SHOCKS WERE GOOD AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET I FOUND THAT OTHERS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR TOE LINK ADJUSTER. SO I LOOKED AT MINE AND FOUND IT LOOSE BUT THE NUT HAS NOT BACKED OFF. I THINK IT HAS RUSTED AND IS SLIPPING IN THE THREADS. I CAN SEND A VIDEO SHOWING HOW LOOSE IT IS WHEN I PUSH IT UP AND DOWN. IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT A PART LOOKS LIKE "BEFORE THE ACCIDENT" PLEASE CONTACT ME TOMORROW, APRIL 12, BEFORE I GET IT REPLACED. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. YOU NEED TO SEE IT AS IS BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN EVER THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES OR TRACTION CONTROL ARE ACTIVATED THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH NO OR VERY LITTLE BRAKING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STOPPING IN THE RAIN OR SNOW AND WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS LOOSE TRACTION. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF PUMPING THE BRAKES THE PEDAL RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE BRAKES WORK PERFECTLY. NO CODES ARE DISPLAYED. I TOOK IT INTO MY MECHANIC AND HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND 30 OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT TO JOHN BEAR CADILLAC IN HAMILTON ONT. AND THEY LOOKED UP MY CAR AND COULDN'T RECOMMEND A FIX FOR IT AS THE PARTS WEN'T PRODUCED ANY MORE. THIS IS A 2011 YEAR CAR AND THE SRX USED THE SAME COMPONETS UNTIL 2016. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT DEPEND ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY. ILIVE IN [XXX].

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR DON'T WORK PROPERLY. THEY ARE TOO DIM TO SEE AT NIGHT. YOU CAN'T SEE THE ROADWAY AT ALL. LIGHT REPLACEMENT DOESN'T FIX PROBLEM. IS A PROBLEM THAT THE CAR WAS BUILT WITH.
