I had felt swaying in my rear for about 1 month before it actually broke. i was going down i40 headed to the beach and i heard a pop and all of a sudden my steering wheel was at a right hand turn position going straight. (dog tracking) i have had it temporarily fixed until i know for sure that it should be a recall.
There is an existing recall filed on 9/19/2014 for the 2014 cadillac srx for a "possible loose rear suspension toe adjuster link" which can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. the nhtsa campaign number is 14v571000. on 5/21/19, i first noticed that when driving down the highway, my car would pull to the left quite a bit, almost as if it was being hit with a high wind gust. this happened two additional times driving down the highway the following two days. on 5/28/19, i was no longer able to drive the car in a straight line as the wheel was cocked 45 degrees to the left to even drive straight, this happened less than a mile from home and i made it home safe. the following day on 5/29/19, on the way to firestone to have the car looked at, i could no longer drive over 25mph and the left front and rear tires were cocked out to the side and the car appeared to be drifting. i almost went off the road.
The 2014 cadillac srx had 75k miles on the odometer, the driver experienced a wobble feeling in the suspension of the car while driving on the highway then heard a bang and the car went out of control at high speeds. the read end of the car veered to the right. fortunately, no other cars were on the road as the car went across multiple lanes while out of control. the driver was able to pull the car over to the side of the road and onstar was called for assistance. the car was taken to the nearest cadillac deal who found that the rear right adjuster links broke due to the threads were worn. found that recall 14v571000 recall date 9/19/2019 component suspension: rear.
Sways and wanders on the highway, seems like you need anlignment, but that does not fix the proplem
On may 12, 2018, we were driving west on maryland interstate 68 through the mountains. we were driving downward on one of the many mountains and i noticed a wobble coming from the front passenger wheel. i began to worry and slowed down from 70 mph to 50 mph. as i approached the bottom of the mountain there was a curve to the left. all of the sudden we lost control like we were on ice. we turned 360 degrees and slammed into the right berm guard rail and then proceeded to travel back across the two land highway and hit the left median guardrail and came to a stop. there were three of us in the car and fortunately only minor injuries. we observed that the axle at the front passenger side wheel had sheered off. i couldn't believe it! also. the side air bags did not deploy when the passenger side slammed into the guard rail. *tr
