2009 Cadillac Srx Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CADILLAC SRX. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR CONSISTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

AT 9:00 PM ET ON 20-NOV-2012 I WAS DRIVING 20 MINUTES TO MY HOME FROM MY IN-LAWS AT ~30 MPH IN MONROE, OHIO WHEN MY AIRBAGS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CAMARGO CADILLAC'S BODY SHOP FOR REPAIRS THE MORNING OF 21-NOV-2012. BOTH A SPECIALIST FROM STATE FARM (MY INSURANCE) AND THE INSPECTOR HIRED BY GM DECLARED THAT THE AIRBAGS MALFUNCTIONED. GM?S REPRESENTATIVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON 03-DEC-2012 AND THE REPORT WAS RECEIVED AT GM ON 12-DEC-2012. IT WAS NOT UNTIL 19-DEC-2012 THAT GM APPROVED PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. GM WOULD NOT STATE WHAT ERROR OCCURRED THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO MALFUNCTION. MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 100,000 MILES AND HAD ~ 76,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. IT TOOK ~2 MONTHS FOR THE REPAIRS TOTAL. NO APOLOGIES WERE MADE BY GM FOR STRESS OR FOR PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK. I AM THANKFUL NO ONE ELSE WAS AFFECTED BY THE ACCIDENT, AS I WAS DRIVING ALONE AND DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. REPRESENTATIVES FROM GM AND CAMARGO STATED THEY ARE UNAWARE OF PREVIOUS AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS IN GM VEHICLES. BELOW ARE LINKS TO 2 ARTICLES WHICH REPORT ABOUT GM AIRBAGS MALFUNCTIONING.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. HARD TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT IT WAS THE CONTACT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-909379197. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

HAVE HAD MY SRX INTO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE SAME REASON THAT UPON ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE LOOSES POWER AND HESITATES DUE THE STABILITY TRACTION SYSTEM . IT WILL HESITATE AND THEN KICK IN. THIS IS VERY BAD WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP AND INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST LOOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE IS GONG BUT YOUR NOT AND THEN IT WILL FINALLY KICK IN. THE DEALER REPLACED A SENSOR THE LAST TIME BUT THIS TIME SAID THAT THEY HAD THE CODE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT WHEN DRIVING IT. SO THEY RESET IT AND ERASED THE CODE BUT UNSURE IF THAT WILL WORK. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT BUT UPON RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET HAVE FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES HAPPEN TO THEM TOO. *TR

THE CHROME OVERLAY ON THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE SEPARATED FROM THE BASE METAL OF THE DOOR HANDLE EXPOSING A SHARP EDGE ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE DOOR HANDLE, WHICH CANNOT BE READILY VISIBLE UNTIL YOU PULL ON THE HANDLE WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE.
