11057 recall. ac compressor not working
When i'm driving it automatically switches to another gear . then it feels like it's holding back. as i continue to accelerate it gets louder and louder sounding like a go cart. it will not go faster than 60 mph when it gets into this odd mode. to temporarily fix the problem i have to pull over and put it into park and then drive again but a minute or two goes by and it does it again. when i'm going about 70 mph on the highway it will not do it. it only happeneds when i'm slowing down or speeding up normally at stop signs and things. i hadn't had this car very long, i bought it from someone off of facebook and he claims that's never happened to him! i don't believe that though!
While driving my car loses the power to accelerate when traveling 5 miles per hour to go faster, the rpm's go up but the car do not accelerate. in my research this is happening to a lot of cars.
I took my 2010 cadillac srx in for an inspection to renrw my regisrtation and was told that be cause of the engine light being on it was an automatic fail. i was surprised because i had previously taken it the dealership that had given me this line, although your engine light is on, there is nothing wrong with your vehicle, its probally just a lose wire, nevermind that he never told me if it comes back on i would not pass in spection. so when i take it back to the dealer, i get a whole other story from what the mechanic, he told me, with out telling me he could not touch because it was a defective manufactured flaw. the wiring to the e-vap system is exposed to the enviornment. nhtsa, please help me figure out what is going on with this vehicle, i really feel unsafe and believe that it is only by the grace of god that i have not been harmed bythhis vehicle ot harmed others. only now it is at the dealership, waiting for me to sign off on $3000, 00 worth of repairs, of which 75% has nothing to do with the engine light being on. oh, before i forget i was told by the dealership they only knew of a couple of recalls on my vehicle, one had to do with the tightening of the torque, but i went online and i found over a dozen recalls for my vin. please nhtsa, i hope you have some good news for me, because i feel like a statistic waiting to happen, but this is the thing everyone knew about the potential for alarm, but no one would say anything, even when asked. attn: pls. care
The bearings on two of the tires the emissions is giving me trouble i took it to a mechanic who changed everything car will not pass inspection
Tailgate will not stay up. if it would have hit my wife, it would been a disaster. fortunately, she got out of the way in time. the car was stationary when my wife tried to open the tailgate. tailgate will not stay up.
Parked. less than 100 degrees outside. no loud music system. all of a sudden there was loud pop. my panoramic sunroof has shattered and pieces of it fell on my 3-year-old.
I opened the power tailgate with my remote control and reached into the car to get some items out of the back. instead of staying in the up position, the tailgate came down about 12 inches and then back up and then headed downward onto my back. i am 6 foot, three inches and had all i could do to keep it from crushing me. i managed to duck and pull out before it slammed down. if it would have been my much smaller wife, she very well could have been injured. i was parked and in a parking lot. since then, i have tried it several times and it continues to do the same thing rendering it totally useless.
I have only 16,000 miles on my vehicle and hardly use it. when i was driving the vehicle, the right side of the sunshade which covers the sunroof fell on me and my passenger starteling us and almost caused me to have an accident. there was only a plastic clip that went into the track that just broke, fell off and caused the whole right side of the sunshade to fail and fall on my passenger while i was driving on a city street. this is a sunshade that was hardly even used. i notified cadillac but they didn't seem to care or want to do anything about it.
All of a sudden i've been experiencing numerous things going wrong. first i started smelling this strange awful odor, not knowing that its some type of water leak soaking my carpet on the passenger side, underneath the mat. i had my car detailed on numerous occasion before noticing this water puddles on thursday morning. on top that, i get off work on friday afternoon all i see is water pouring from the roof right in front of the visor on the passenger side onto my seat. i'm beyond frustrated...i called the dealership to see if there were any recalls,and of course, it isn't for my car. i don't really know what to do at this point. i scheduled an appointment with the dealership to get an oil change and to look into the problem on this wednesday. i must go back to when i first encountered the smell. i called the dealership to see if they could locate the smell and they told me in fact at my last oil change it could cost me thousands of dollars. i felt betrayed, after being overwhelmed with this issue after just paying $2,200 for the timing change. this vehicle is not that old and i am still paying for a vehicle that's thanks in advance [xxx] ps.stationary and in motion... information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
I have a cadillac srx 2010 with 79k miles. i was just informed that i have a timing chain that needs to be replaced. they tell me that because i have the 3.0l engine it is not covered by the recall on the 3.6l engine. but through my research onlinei find that there is no difference in the timing chain or the tensioners. the issue is if my engine were to seize and cause the vehicle to abruptly loose control someone or myself could be injured or die.
Condensation in the headlight covers. considerably dims vision while night driving. high risk of lights shorting or going out completely because of water build up. repairs are unreseasonably high.
Inner/outer seals in moonroof had to be replaced due to the tubing being to short when made on the factory line. this is a pre-own vehicle that had only 60,000 miles. i was driving 70mpd on 94-e, it had thunder stormed the entire weekend, and was raining terribly when this all took place. the vehicle decreased in speed down to 17-20 and wouldn't go any faster. i exit the freeway, pulled into gas station to read my manual. stability track was my message. i cranked fine, and drove ok but not more than 20mph. the morning after, apparently the break system had dried, the vehicle drove perfect at the speed it should. i still took it to shop because my concern was that this didn't happen again. when it rain, the vehicle would leak into the passenger side of the vehicle under the glove box and it was a nice puddle. i thought i left the window cracked. the shop mechanic found water spots in the moon roof area and the break area and underneath the floor carpet on the side where the water had leaked. the previous owner had purchased the weather tech matts, and that made me wonder when i purchased the car; why would a person purchase such expensive matts when it's a lease and will be getting returned. the mechanic informed me that if the leak wasn't fixed this would happen again, eventually effect the electrical system which will give incorrect readings of each functional ability. my vehicle was in the shop for 1 month. the moon roof was the only leak and the part took a week to come in. this was a very difficult task stated by the mechanic because if the moon roof isn't installed properly it could blow off when in high speed or will leak air. i've read many doing this process and many i've read just dealt with the tubing to stop the leak, not actually fixing the problem with the sunroof seals. i didn't take any photos, but i do have the $1,236.00.

My power hatch back opens on its own all the time.
The rear lift gate electronic control module is a manufactures defect. the sunroof drain apparently is a manufacturers defect and does not function properly. it does not drain and as a result allows water to short out and destroy the electronic control module. the first time this occurred was while the vehicle was under warranty. there was a recall on the drain that should have fixed the problem but it did not. the rear lift gate became inoperable again this time becoming completely inoperable. the cadillac dealer david taylor blamed the sunroof drain once again would not warranty their past work nor their future attempts to solve the problem saying only that at any time the drain could become clogged again causing the control module to short out and if it was past one year or twelve thousand miles that i would just have to pay another grand to have it fixed again. so basically a recall item a manufacturers defect that is aresponsibility of cadillac is now a reoccurring problem that is solely the responsibility of the customer to spend a thousand dollars every couple of years for a non weather able item. this is not a motor or transmission or a set of tires this is a design defect that is the responsibility of the manufacturer and therefore the dealer. the rear lift gate is dangerous when operable due to opening and closing improperly erratically and unexpectantly possibly getting an adult child or animals limbs or extremities caught in the lift gate. also when the lift gate becomes copletely inoperable one might have a limb or extremity caught and not have any means of opening the lift gate manually for when it stops working there is no way to release it. cadillac is obviously aware of the defective design and manufacture of this unit and are risking consumers safety but just refuse to do anything to resolve the problem. 780000 gm lift gates recalled why not cadillac
There was a recall on the low beam headlight plug assembly on the 2010 srx. the faulty plug would cause the lowbeam headlights to not function. the plug would allow for the high beams to work properly but the plug would not allow the halogen lowbeam said to work. david taylor supposedly fixed this problem however a few years later the lowbeam headlights became completely inoperable causing the driver to have zero visibility while using the headlights. the highbeams would work perfectly. i argued with the dealer that it had something to do with the plug however they insisted that the problem was that the light assembly because of faulty manufacturing allowed water to enter the low beam lens and in turn cloud the lens. i insisted otherwise because there was visible condensation in the headlight assembly but none in the low beams. unfortunately this situation had me over a barrel because the driver had already been risking their life and other drivers lives on the road while being forced to drive with only high beams or without any illumination of the road way at all. i had no choice but to spend 1500 dollars on headlights. now regardless of the reason whether it was a faulty manufactured plug or a faulty sealed manufactured headlamp assembly the problems it poses are the same. cadillac has a poorly manufactured headlight assembly and plug assembly that are endangering people's lives. when these low beams become inoperable the driver has zero visibility and are forced to choose between driving with their highbeams on and blinding other drivers or driving without any headlights which could cause death or bodily harm to the driver or any property or persons that the driver cannot see. cadillac knows they have a problem but are willing to risk people's lives in order to save a few dollars. they have a faulty product that the nhtsa should resolve before there is loss of life
