THE CADILLAC CUE SYSTEM IS THE MAIN TOUCH SCREEN IN THE VEHICLE. I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEAD SPOT ON THE SCREEN. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED ISSUING A RECALL. I HAVE HEARD WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT CADILLAC IS ACTUALLY SUING THE COMPANY THAT PRODUCES THE CUE PRODUCT. FRANKEL CADILLAC IN COCKEYSVILLE, MARYLAND HAS HAD TO REPLACE A COUPLE OF THESE WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I ALSO WAS ADVISED THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE FOR QUITE SOMETIME. I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO ON A WAITING LIST FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO EVEN GET ONE SINCE THEY APPEARED TO BE HIGH IN DEMAND BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD REACH OUT FOR ASSISTANCE THROUGH YOUR COMPANY. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH PAYING FOR WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT TO HAVE THE MAIN CONTROL SYSTEM GO DOWN WITHIN 4 YEARS AND LESS THAN 40K MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE THAT I SHOULD BE OUT OF POCKET $817.00 TO REPAIR THIS.

THUS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE RADIO STATIONS OR ENTER AN ADDRESS INTO THE NAVIGATION. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER THE ENTIRE CUE SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THE CADILLAC CUE SYSTEM SHORTLY AFTER VEHICLES REACH 50K MILES.

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.
