EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP GETTING MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHTS REQUIRING THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1600 EACH TIME! I AM ON THE 3RD TIME REPLACING THE HEADLIGHTS SINCE AUGUST OF 2013. FIRST TIME WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SECOND TIME WAS ONLY COVERED 95% BY GM. NO MY THIRD TIME WILL NOT BE COVERED AT ALL. THERE APPARENTLY SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS AND I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A RECALL NOTICE. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY, MANY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE INVOLVING THE TRACTION CONTROL STABILITY SYSTEM LOCKING UP. THE LAST TWO EVENT INVOLVED A CRASH. THE MOST RECENT CRASH I BROKE MY NECK AND I AM IN REHAB RECOVERY. THIS MOST RECENT CRASH INVOLVED A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL WHERE THE STABILITY LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON ALL OF SUDDEN ON A SNOW / ICE COVERED ROAD, AND THE BACK END SPUN AROUND AND I CRASHED INTO THE DITCH ALONG THE ROAD. I SUFFERED A BROKEN NECK AND STILL HAVE THE NECK BRACE. AS SOON AS THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON THE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE, AND BEGAN TO SLIDE AND SPIN OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WHERE THE VEHICLE SHIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A JERKING FASHION FOR NO REASON WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. AT THAT TIME I WAS ALSO IN A CRASH. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
BROUGHT MY 2010 CADILLAC SRX TO KING O'ROURKE CADILLAC IN SMITHTOWN, NY ON JAN 13,2015 FOR RECALL ISSUE CONCERNING THE REAR TOE LINK, GM RECALL #14557. CAR WAS THERE 2 DAYS TAKING CARE OF 4 RECALL ISSUES. ABOUT 4 WEEKS AND ROUGHLY 1000 MILES LATER, ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 20, 2015, I USED THE VEHICLE TO GO TO THE DOCTORS AND NOTICED NO PROBLEMS ON THE WAY. MY 7YR OLD SON WAS WITH ME. FROM THE DOCTORS I PROCEEDED TO MY HAIRDRESSER, STILL NO ISSUES. AT SOME POINT ON THE WAY HOME AFTER LEAVING THE HAIRDRESSER, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR FELT ABNORMALLY "FLOATY" AND WAS SWAYING OVER BUMPS. I STOPPED AT A 7-11 ON HOSPITAL ROAD AND NYS RT 27 IN EAST PATCHOGUE WHERE I ATTEMPTED TO INSPECT WHAT I COULD ON THE VEHICLE, MOSTLY THE CONDITION OF THE TIRES. I THEN LEFT 7-11 AND PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE ON RAMP FOR NYS RT27 EAST. AS I ACCELERATED IN THE ON RAMP, THE VEHICLE STARTED SWAYING MORE. AFTER THAT I HEARD A METALLIC SOUND AND THE REAR OF THE CAR STARTED TO JACKKNIFE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND A POLICE OFFICER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY BEHIND ME STOPPED TO OFFER AID. AFTER A QUICK LOOK, HE STATED THAT THE CAR HAD A BROKEN AXLE. HE LEFT SINCE I HAD ALREADY CONTACTED MY HUSBAND AND HE WAS ON HIS WAY. MY HUSBAND ARRIVED SHORTY THEREAFTER AND INFORMED ME THAT HE CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE WAITING FOR ROADSIDE SERVICE TO ARRIVE HE ALSO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ALSO TOOK PHOTOS. HE SAID THE RIGHT REAR TOE LINK, WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND REPLACED AS NECESSARY AS PER THE RECALL NOTICE AT KING O'ROURKE 4 WEEKS EARLIER HAD SEPARATED. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THE LINKS WERE NOT REPLACED AND FAILED DUE TO DAMAGED THREADING. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT TOWED THE CAR TO MY HOME. WHILE GM CORPORATE IS TRYING TO BE HELPFUL IN THIS SITUATION, KATHY AT KING O'ROURKE IS CLAIMING THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE SAYING "AS THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR I CANNOT EXPECT A NEW PART." *JS

CAR WAS MAKING WHISTLING/HOWLING SOUND BETWEEN 30MPH-45MPH. THOUGHT POSSIBLY A BREAKING IN ISSUE, BUT CONTINUED AFTER 1200 MILES AND WAS MOST PREVALENT AT STATED MPH ABOVE. SHOP STATED BEARING ISSUE IN DRIVE SHAFT AND ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT MUST BE REPLACED. CONCERN OVER EFFECT TO OTHER POWER TRAIN PARTS CONNECTED TO DEFECTIVE DRIVE SHAFT. COULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL PARTS REPLACED. DEFINITIVELY, A SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FRONT LIGHT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY SEALS WORE OUT AND THE HEADLIGHT BLEW OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING HOME IN THE RAIN, AT NIGHT. WATER PENETRATED THE HEADLIGHT WHICH IS WHAT CAUSED THE LAMP TO BLOW OUT. I CALLED GM AND THEY PLAYED DUMB AND SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. YET AS I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED THERE WERE OTHER 2010 MODELS DRIVING IN WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. GM WOULD NOT EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO COVER THIS, AS THE WARRANTY WAS OVER 4 YEARS BUT STILL UNDER THE 50K MILES. AT $1400 EACH TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS, THEY NEED TO FIX THIS DEFECT. ADDITIONALLY, THEY ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF THESE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT AT NIGHTTIME IN THE RAIN. *TR
