This complaint is a continuation of complaint bin23-53927 and describes the findings of the transmission disassembly. Disassembly was delayed due to medical treatment unrelated to this incident. Transmission failed suddenly in high volume "rush" hour traffic. Torque was lost just before an exit allowing the vehicle to exit without power however the vehicle stopped in middle lane of a service road. On coming vehicles had to brake behind the vehicle. Sudden transmission failure in heavy high speed traffic presents a high risk of rear collision with multiple vehicles and injury. Furthermore, if the transmission fluid pump had not failed, the transmission could have lock-up or exhibited high speed down shifting, due to failure of other parts. This incident should not be dismissed because there was no accident or personal injury. Some mother with children could easily have a different out come on a crowded large city highway. No computer codes were displayed. 5lte-40 5-speed automatic transmission. Disassembly of the transmission revealed excessive metal particles and debris. The transmission fluid pump failed which caused loss of torque due to inadequate fluid levels in the torque converter. Clogging of the fluid "pick-up" filter also probably contributed to reduced fluid flow and failure of the fluid pump. A non-metallic washer was found to have disintegrated, allowing fragments to circulate in the transmission. The washer separated 2 splined drums. Disintegration of the washer allowed excessive movement and contact of the drums. Recommend GMC be contacted to obtain their comment on failure of these transmissions, as well as statistical review of incident reports to determine if failures are statistically greater than in the automotive industry, in general. The 5lte-40 and other transmissions have no traditional "dip stick" to measure transmission fluid level and contam

So just bought this crossover, which is more like a short SUV, or a really sturdy and stout station wagon; with 98,000miles 9N it. So there must've been an issue with the air bags because I was cleaning under the front seats and while doing so, K I locked a resistor wrapped in electrical tape off of some wires and even since my service airbag light has been on, not to mention there are wires cut that I need relieve go to the air bags as well. All that I was fine with. It was when I got acquainted with my Cadillac cue and its blocky, glitched, slow, yet precisice directions; it has totally failed me while driving. One moment its telling me to make a left and the next intersection, then it told me that the map dvd, wasnt the map dvd and still has yet to read it's own map disc.

When driving home from a 2 hour trip in snowy conditions, the car started making a noise from the engine just as we pulled onto our road but no warning lights came on. We did not drive the vehicle and had it towed to the mechanic. The mechanic changed oil and filter and says he doesn't know what is wrong without going through the entire engine to find the problem. Took it to another mechanic who said it is not keeping oil pressure, the camshafts are misfiring and he thinks the timing chain is an issue. They both said it needs a new engine and it has just under 85,000 miles.

Weaving in between cars without signaling, tailgating every car she came behind. She tried to cut people off. She tired to pull in front of people using nonexistent lanes. Speeding and vulgar hand gestures.

Srx was driven earlier in the day without incident. Parked at home, then 6 hours later car door opened and panoramic sunroof main panel exploded, the shattered glass was caught by the retractable headliner.
