In Nov 2021 we had the recommended recall repairs done at a Cadillac dealership which replaced the rear toe links with a non-adjustable bar. 2 months later we installed new tires at Big O Tires but they were unable to perform a rear alignment due to the stationary toe bar. We went back to the Cadillac dealership days later but were assured the alignment was fine. Just over one year later (approx 15K miles driven) we have significant wear on our inner tires. Last week we had Big O run an ExpressAlign report and the rear tires have severe negative values. The value even with the toe bar should be +0.020. I contacted Hunter Machine Alignment and they confirmed our concerns. They said Cadillac solve this problem immediately. At this time Cadillac is only agreeing to inspecting the installation of the recall repair however this does not resolve the safety concerns with this vehicle. Why would a stationary bar be installed if the customer would not be able to get their wheels properly aligned? This recall repair seem to have increased the safety and reliability of this vehicle further. From CR Reports https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/general-motors-recalls-suvs-for-rear-suspension-problem-a8620817999/ According to GM, certain SRX and 9-4X SUVs were recalled in 2014 (NHTSA No. 14V571) because part of the rear suspension called a toe link hadn-€™t been properly tightened during the assembly process. After that initial recall, the company received further reports that some toe links were still loose, and it revised the procedures outlined in the initial recall. In 2020 GM continued to receive field reports about suspension-related issues. These included traction control, electronic stability control (called Stabilitrak by GM), or "service rear axle" warnings, malfunctioning taillights, swaying or wandering at highway speeds, uneven rear tire wear, or loud clunking noises over bumps. NHTSA-€™s campaign number is 21V473. The initial recall number was 14V571.

While driving on the highway my car suddenly went sideways five times. I had no control over my vehicle and luckily did not hit another vehicle. Once I was safely on the shoulder, I saw that my rear driverside wheel was sticking out. I had it towed to the dealership and then found out that there was a recall on the rear toe end link adjuster. They kept my car for weeks and kept sending me assessments of damage and assuring me it would be good as new when returned. After I declined their offer to fix my front struts for about $4,000 they said it was ready, but still needed to be aligned. I drove it home and immediately called bc it was not fixed and swayed dangerously on the road. They said bring it Monday (this was a Friday) it sat in my driveway then I noticed all the oil that leaked. I took it back (couple more weeks) they said oil changed (cost to them) leak caused by gasket not sealed properly. Also the washer fluid kept just pouring out and they had to fix that which they said was my fault but I'd never had trouble before. Then they said my car was ready and they had fixed the recall by making the adjuster NON adjustable. My car still swayed all over the road and now makes a loud clanking noise in the front. After a month my rear tires both on the inside of the tire closest together are wore out showing wires. I paid for two used tired. Two weeks later it's happening again. Another shop checks the tires and is amazed that I made it to have him check the tires because the toe link but was so loose that my wheel was about to fall off again! He tightened the nut that IS undoubtedly ADJUSTABLE. My tires are now wearing out again and I've yet to receive any news on how to get the national recall fixed. No concern for safety at all.

I received a recall from GM as to the toe links in my vehicle. On November 4th it went into the dealership to have the parts replaced and the following morning my car lost control when something happened between the tires and the steering which caused my car to swerve all over the road, lose control, flip and go into a ditch. There were 3 warning lights on, ABS, traction, and Stabilitrak. The car has not yet been inspected but will be. Thank God it happened around 5:30 a.m. when there were not a lot of cars out yet on the highway.

Ref: NHTSA campaign #: 14V571000 - my VIN does not come up as affected by this recall. However, on 2/10/2020, driving 35 mph on town streets, the car was a little different to control (almost 'lighter'). after my stop, I restarted the car, turned a corner and found it nearly impossible to stay in my own lane. Even after slowing to 20 mph and fighting to control the car, it felt like the rear of my car was dragging me in to the right lane after parking, I noticed my rear passenger side tire was at an angle of about 30-45 degrees from the rest of the car. I had the car towed to my repair garage. They showed us the toe nut (jam nut?) under the rear suspension, had approximately 1/2" before it could came off completely. Before agreeing to the repairs we called the local Cadillac dealership. They did not ask for a VIN, but informed us that the "recall had been closed" for this item so we were on our own for repairs.

Rear tie rod failed, came apart causing steering to be very hazardous vehicle shifted into oncoming lane. Tie rod didn't break it was rusted from inside, the threads were worn. While the vehicle was in motion it was on a secondary road and the road is in good condition, no pot holes some patches here and there but nothing to warrant dislodging the tie rod. As stated before tie rod didn't break somehow water got in the sleeve part of the tie rod, causing it to wear. I have kept the parts that the dealership fixed just in case they are in need.

Steering screeches and shudders when turning when temperatures are below 40 F. I've taken it in to be checked at least six times. I am repeatedly told there is nothing wrong with it. This has been an issue from the get go and now with 55,000 miles on the car it is no longer under warrantee.

Driving and making a turn when my steering wheel and brakes locked up.

We started the car, and was backing up and there was a grinding in the steering wheel when turning it right and left. We took it to the dealer and the power steering fluid was leaking out of the power steering pump into the steering. They cleaned it all out, and added a thicker fluid on 3/ 25/2014, we started the car it happened again we took it directly to dealer and they agreed something wasn't right. They put in a new pump. We picked it up had it two days and it happened again. We took it back, and was told the dealer called GM and they couldn't do anything else because they didn't have the parts. We were told it wasn't dangerous, but I'm thinking if the power steering fail working while driving, we could crash.

Severe grinding or scrapping noise from front passenger side wheel area when turning at low speeds. Problem is only present during cold weather. Seems to diminish as vehicle is used but sometimes remains for long periods. Can be heard by bystanders and very well inside vehicle. Have had no luck with dealer.first few times said could not hear then next time said unsure of cause.
