I was in an accident 2 weeks ago where 0 airbags were deployed. I swerved to miss an elk, traveling about 55-60 mph, tapped it on the passenger front side and made me spin out and collide with a rock wall on the driver side. The whole front driver side was affected and driver door couldn’t be opened. 0 airbags deployed, message displayed “service airbags”. No message was ever displayed prior to accident.

Immediately Upon picking my 2011 Cadillac SRX up from Don Thornton Cadillac for Recall on the Rear Toe Link, I had more problems with my car than when I dropped it off.I immediately called and let them know my car would not accelerate,I still had something wrong with my battery, I had warning lights on my display that were safety issues,such as SERVICE AIRBAG,SEATBELT,service stabilitrak,service rear axle,service traction control,service park assist,service suspension,"battery saver mode",service brakesThey told me it would cost me $50 to have it towed,whatever the cost for them to diagnose,the cost to fix whatever was wrong.The General Manager told me that the problems with my car when I brought it in:(issues related to the Rear Toe Link Recall)IE:service stabilitrak,service traction control, service rear axle,swaying in the back.Something was wrong with my battery and powersteering.I took it to another GM certified dealer, and"the ground was burnt and melted the rear fuse box,the ground to the fuse box was fried." The "pre-invoice" I received when picking my car up from Don Thornton Cadillac said "performed wire repair to ground wire".I paid $1,178.24 for faulty repairs. After finding out that the work they performed, was not fixed at all, the right rear wheel hub was loose, the melted wires going from the back up to the front wires, I am now without a car.COMPLETELY. Don Thornton Cadillac is not taking responsibility what so ever for the problems, SAFETY ISSUES, that I had when I picked up my car,and certainly did not have when I dropped it off.Please help!I do not know what to do.I am now without a car.It was by the grace of god,that I actually wasn't able to drive my car.I could have had my 3 grandchildren,or my 2 elderly aunts(81&76)that I am responsible to take them to their doctors appointments,or son in the car if something tragic could have happened by the right rear wheel hub coming off while driving and they were in the car!
