2007 Cadillac Srx

THE PROBLEM INVOLVES THE VEHICLE'S TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WILL LOSE ALL ACCELERATION POWER FOR TWO TO THREE SECONDS. DURING THESE TWO TO THREE SECONDS, THEIR IS A HOPELESS FEELING AS YOU QUICKLY LOOK INTO YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR AND PRAY THAT THE CAR BEHIND IS SLOWING DOWN OR SWERVING INTO THE LEFT LANE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS ON DRY AND CLEAN PAVEMENT WITHOUT ANY LEGITIMATE REASON. AFTER ROLLING SLOWLY WITHOUT POWER THE ACCELERATOR WILL SUDDENLY ENGAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE OVERHEAD AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER STATED THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HELLO, THE REASON FOR MY EMAIL IS THAT JUST THIS PAST MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25 OF 2013 THE SUNROOF TO MY 2007 CADILLAC SRX EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO EXPLANATION. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 8PM ON A COLD AND DRIZZLY NIGHT. BIG CHUNKS OF GLASS FELL ALL OVER MY HUSBAND AND I LEAVING US WITH MINOR SCRATCHES, FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS SEVERELY HURT. THE FOLLOWING MORNING OF THE INCIDENT I WENT ONLINE AND CAME ACROSS SEVERAL IDENTICAL INCIDENTS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR, AS WELL AS OTHERS. WE TOOK THE LIBERTY OF CONTACTING GM CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AS IT SEEMS THIS MAY POSSIBLY BE A FACTORY DEFECT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER SHIP BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH HELP, MUCH LESS AN EXPLANATION. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE BEING THAT I AM 8 1/2 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE. HOW SAFE WILL THIS BE FOR MY FAMILY? I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE AND I AM NOT AT EASE THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP WHERE ALL I HAVE HEARD FROM THEM IS AN ISSUE OF HOW MANY MILES THE CAR HAS AT THE PRESENT TIME AND NOT THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO SEEK OUT ANY KIND OF HELP, INFORMATION, OR ADVICE AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO TO HAVE THIS SITUATION RESOLVED. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON TX HIGHWAY146 ON 11/21/2012, THE MORNING BEFORE THANKSGIVING, THE SUN-ROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED; IT WAS AS LOUD AS A GUN SHOT IF NOT LOUDER, THE SOUND STARTLED ME THAT I VEERED OUT OF MY LANE; LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. EVEN THOUGH I WAS SHOCKED, NO ONE WAS HURT. I DON'T THINK IT IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT CADILLAC IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UNSAFE SUNROOF. *TR
