I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW, BUT THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING. SQUEAKS, RATTLES, VIBRATIONS AND THUMPING PREVAILED FROM THE BEGINNING THE DEALER REPLACED A STRUT AFTER 10K, THEN STEERING AND THEN BUSHINGS. HOWEVER, ALL THE SYMPTOMS ABOVE REMAINED. AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE VIBRATIONS WORSENED, AS DID THE MOANING, THE RATTLING, ETCETERA. OTHERWISE, THE CAR AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN RELIABLE, INCLUDING ENGINE AND BRAKES. I PERFORMED ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE RELIGIOUSLY, I DRIVE GENTLY AND MOSTLY HIGHWAY. A NEW DEALER OPENED CLOSER TO HOME, AND I BEGAN GOING TO THEM. LAST DECEMBER, I ASKED THEM TO REPAIR THE FRONT END, AFTER YEARS OF ENDURING A LOUSY RIDE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAD 80,000 MILES. AFTER 3 DAYS, AND $1700, THE DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUES, WITH NEW STRUTS, BUSHINGS AND STEERING COIL. HOWEVER, WITHIN 3 MONTHS, ALL THE ORIGINAL DEFECTS REEMERGED. IN FACT, THE VIBRATIONS WORSENED, WITH A FEELING THAT THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION WAS LOOSE FROM THE CHASSIS, AND VIBRATIONAL THUMPS AT HIGHWAY DRIVING SOUND LIKE AN 18 WHEELER WHEN IT DRIVES OVER TRAIN TRACKS, WITH BOOMS, AS IF THE AXLE DISENGAGES FROM THE ENTIRE MONO-FRAME. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RELIABLE AND FINE, I LIKE THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LOOKS. HOWEVER, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW AND HAS ROBBED ME FROM ENJOYING ANY MOMENT IN THIS VEHICLE. FINALLY, I AM GETTING MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE FRONT END. IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T IMPROVE IT, WHEN I SCHEDULE MY SERVICE IN TWO WEEKS, I WILL SELL MY CAR IN DESPAIR, BUT I'M DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE, THE AWFUL RIDE QUALITY, AND CHRONIC SYMPTOMS WHICH NO CAR SHOULD EVER DISPLAY. I SINCERELY HOPE YOU CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. THANKS. *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

PE20019 · Rear Toe Link Adjuster Separation

Opened Nov 6, 2020 · Closed Dec 23, 2021

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Suspension; Suspension:rear

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.
