STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON AND STAYS ON. WHILE ON AND MAKING A SHARP TURN FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE TRYING TO GRIP THE ROAD LIKE THERE'S NO TRACTION. THIS HAPPENS ON SUNNY DAYS WITH NO PRECIPITATION. ALSO CAN NOT PICK UP SPEED. THE STABILITRAK WARNINGS BEEN ON NOW FOR 2 WEEKS SINCE THE LAST TIME IT RAINED. I FIND I'M BURNING GAS QUICKER SINCE IT'S ON. ALSO SOMETIMES MY TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. IT HAPPENS MAINLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND GOES BACK DOWN TO 1ST GEAR BUT WHEN I ACCELERATE IT WON'T SHIFT BACK UP. IT ALSO DROPS BACK INTO FIRST WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED-NOT SLOWING DOWN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IN PARK THEN PUT BACK IN DRIVE IN ORDER FOR IT TO SHIFT GEARS. IT'S SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE THE RPM'S SHOOT WAY UP AND I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE BUT I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I'VE SEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY UNFAIR. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2016. *TR

I TOOK MY 2010 SRX INTO DEALERSHIP DUE TO A LOUD ROARING NOISE AND VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE AT 50-60 MPH. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND VEHICLE ALIGNED. TIRES HAD LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON THEM. ALL TIRES WERE REPLACED AND VEHICLE ALIGNED ($1000.00+). APPROXIMATELY 2 - 3 WEEKS LATER, I NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER IN THE VEHICLE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND SHOOK LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. THIS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. STABILITY TRAC LIGHT COME ON DURING THIS TIME BUT THEN WENT OUT. 05.01.15, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER TO ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH AND HAS AN AWFUL ROARING NOISE. 05.05.15, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP & IS CURRENTLY THERE. RECEIVED CALL FROM DEALERSHIP THAT THE WHEEL HUB BEARINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED @ $1,100.00+. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS SOLUTION & DO NOT BELIEVE IS WILL FIX THE CURRENT ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE, AS I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A BEARING ISSUE @ 70K MILES. I NOW BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING MORE WAS WRONG TO HAVE CAUSED MY TIRES TO HAVE WORN SO QUICKLY AND POORLY. FURTHER, THERE IS MOISTURE BUILDUP IN BOTH OF MY HEADLAMPS THAT I PREDICT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS AFTER READING PREVIOUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS WITHOUT GMS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. *TR

On November 06, 2020, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Preliminary Evaluation (PE20-019) to assess the remedy and scope of General Motors (GM) recall 14V-571. ODI had received a total of 9 complaints with allegations of rear toe links separating while the vehicle was in motion. There were 4 complainants indicating that the remedy for recall 14V-571 had been performed on their vehicle. The other 5 complaints were outside the original recall scope but exhibited the same failure mode as addressed by recall 14V-571 and reported uncontrolled swaying while driving.ODI's review focused on all 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles that experienced a rear toe link failure while the vehicle was in motion under various driving conditions. The failures were the same or similar to those addressed by the remedy associated with recall 14V-571. The remedy for recall 14V-571 was to inspect the rear toe link adjusters and replace them if necessary as well as tighten both jam nuts to a manufacturer specified torque. The remedy can be reversed when the vehicle gets a rear alignment adjustment and the jam nuts are not properly re-torqued to the manufacturer's specification. ODI's data review confirmed a high toe link failure rate in vehicles that either had and had not received the remedy associated with recall 14V-571. On June 24, 2021, GM filed a defect information report recalling all 2010-2016 Cadillac SRX and 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X vehicles to remedy the potential failure of the rear toe link adjuster while driving. The remedy replaces adjustable toe links with non-adjustable toe links. The recall (21V-473) includes vehicles that were remedied under 14V-571. In view of the recall action being taken by GM, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. NHTSA reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.The ODI complaints cited above can be viewed at www.nhtsa.gov.The ODI identification numbers for the complaints cited above can be found in a separate document attached to this closing resume.
