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

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE HATCHBACK LIFTGATE OPENED BY ITSELF. THEN IT WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW ANY ACCESS TO THE REAR CARGO AREA WHERE FLAT TIRE REPAIR GEAR IS LOCATED. I THEN DETERMINED THAT THE EXPENSIVE ELECTRICAL LIFTGATE MECHANISM BECAME SUBMERGED IN WATER FROM SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES THAT FAIL TO DRAIN RAIN TO THE GROUND. A FURTHER LOOK REVEALED THAT THE FRONT SEAT AND REAR SEAT FLOOR MATS WERE SATURATED WHERE ELECTRICAL CABLES ARE ROUTED. CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY OF NHTSA REFERENCE # 10078604 OR TSB REFERENCE # PIC-5260-A OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION WHY GENERAL MOTORS HASN'T RECALLED CADILLACS WITH THIS UNSAFE CONDITION.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME FOR THIS REPAIR... THE BACK HATCH WON'T LIFT, THE SUNROOF WON'T OPEN, THE BACKUP CAMERA IS FOGGY, AND THE DOOR LOCKS WON'T ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN GEAR. ONCE AGAIN, THE "MOTOR" THAT RUNS ALL OF THESE THINGS HAS GOTTEN WATER IN IT AND HAS BURNT UP. FIRST TIME REPAIR....$2300. THIS TIME, I DON'T HAVE THE FINAL TOTAL YET, BUT I THINK THEY SAW ME COMING. CONSIDERING THAT MY CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED UNDER COVER, MY OPINION IS THAT THIS IS A FLAW WITH THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE. IF YOU PAY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR A NICE VEHICLE, YOU EXPECT IT TO DELIVER ON ALL FRONTS--NOT LEAK AND FRY WHEN IT RAINS. AGAIN, SAME REPAIR WITHIN 2 YEARS.

1PE20019 · 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.
