2012 Cadillac Srx

My car was parked and in the park gear it was left running I went to get in the car to turn it off to stay awhile where I was at I got one leg in the car and reached over to push the button to turn it off and it lurched backwards and rolled over me and almost cut my leg off it kept rolling another good 200 ft or more before it stopped and it was still in the park position I read where there's a recall on the transmission on this car but I was injured very badly in this incident I do not know what happened because the car was in park and should not have rolled when I turned it off but it did and rolled over me and knock me down and cut my legs severely

I had Baker Cadillac Dealership to perform the toe-link recall as well as a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection on May 28, 2025. This is for a 2012 Cadillac SRX-3.6 Luxury Collection [VIN: [XXX]] that I was going to purchase for my [XXX] daughter pending the inspection results. Because Cadillac technicians performed the inspection and nothing major was flagged, I purchased the car for my daughter. That evening, I was driving the car to fill up with gas, and the brakes completely cut out! I talked to a friend who knows more about cars than I do, told me the brakes cutting out was likely a result of the recall repair needing to reset to the proper values. I didn't think too much of it after that until 5 days ago when I was on [XXX] driving at 70 mph, the brakes completely cut out again. The road was wet and they cut out as I was exiting off an interstate overpass onto a ramp which circles back toward the direction I was coming from that ultimately feeds onto the road underneath the exit. I fishtailed side to side the entire length of that ramp that has no barriers at a lethal speed which could’ve killed me! If my daughter would've been driving, the outcome would’ve likely been fatal! I contacted the dealership who performed the recall installation and the Multi Point Inspection and told them everything that happened. I wanted answers as to why this wasn't caught during inspection, what exactly caused that to happen twice in less than 10 days, and what needs to be fixed to prevent this from ever happening again. I paid Firestone to perform a comprehensive test on ABS and they could not replicate the issue, so they couldn't do anything to fix it as everything appeared to be fine. No system lights came on or anything. I have since learned that this is far from an isolated issue; in fact, this is quite a scary pattern with the 2012 SRX 3.6.

Recently the liftgate has closed unexpectedly several times while items were being unloaded/loaded from the rear of the vehicle. This caused the user to be struck by the liftgate. Someone smaller or weaker, such as a child could potentially be trapped and injured since the blockage detect function apparently fails at the same time. It has also opened on it's own while the operator was away from the vehicle and out of range of the key fob. Apparently, this is a common issue with the panoramic roof in many Cadillac models leaking water into the rear storage area of the vehicle. The control module becomes immersed in water and begins to perform unreliably, eventually failing complete as it becomes more wet. No warning tones or lamps are activated

I bought a 2012cadillac about a month agoand was told by the dealer that there was no recalls on this car,but when i personally ran the vin number,it says this car has been recalled and I need to stop driving it because it's dangerous for me to be driving it because it could cause me to crash.this dealer ship also,grossly overcharged me, charging me "several thousand dollars more than the actual listed price".This car also floods my driver side and passenger side floors eachtime it rains.The water is coming in via my sunroof,which is causing my car to smell, and consequently gonna rot out my floor, and perhaps damage my electrical system and god only knows what other damage this water is doing to the integrity of my car.The dealer had me take my car to his mechanic who told me the problem was fixed which was a lie, because two days after he allegedly fixed the water problem, it rained and when i got in my car to go to an appointment... my floors were flooded with water again. The dealer who I bought the car from-"Arrow Motors",told me to take it back to his mechanic. between this leaking sunroof, and the recall i just found out about...I am really upset that this dealer sold me this car that is clearly defective and very unsafe and charged me $17,000. I feel like this guy lied to me and took advantage of me, I asked him several times if there was a recall on this car and he looked me in the eyes and said NO.I also asked him if there was anything wrong with this car and again he looked me in the eyes and said No.He had to have known about the recall,and about the problem with the sunroof leaking water inside the car. I only had this car for a month and spent all my money to buy it, but with the current issues, I feel it's not safe for me drive, and poses a serious risk to others too.P.S. Is there anyway I can get my money back,or sue them?

AFTER A HEAVY STORM, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, BUT NOTHING IN THE CAR WOULD RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB OR PUSH TO START. AFTER JUMPING THE BATTERY, WE WERE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE ERRATICALLY SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING. THE GAUGES AND SYSTEM LIGHTS KEPT BLINKING AND TURNING OFF. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SMOKE, SO I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THERE WAS A MUSTY SMELL WHICH PROVOKED ME TO SEARCH FOR WATER INTRUSION. THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS WERE SOAKING WET. I COULDN'T GET THE LIFTGATE OPEN, SO I CLIMBED INTO THE REAR AREA AND FOUND COMPARTMENTS THAT HAD STANDING WATER. THE REAR CARPETS WERE ALSO WET. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE STORM CAUSED DEBRI TO CLOG THE SUNROOF DRAINS CAUSING THE OVERFLOW PANS TO POUR INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE LIFTGATE MODULE TO INITIATE A PERPETUAL SIGNAL TO THE BATTERY CAUSING IT TO DIE. I ALSO HAD WATER AND FOGGING BUILT UP IN THE HEADLIGHT COVERS REDUCING THE LAMP OUTPUT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON DESIGN FLAW THAT GM REFUSES TO ADMIT OR EVEN COVER REPAIRS BEYOND THE INITIAL MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING BECAUSE I'M SURE THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN THERE'S A RAIN DOWNPOUR, AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE WATER CORRODES THE LIFTGATE MODULE OR OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. WATER AVOIDANCE IS NOT AN OPTION. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD OWN THIS PROBLEM THEY CREATED AND PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE.

A LETTER WAS SENT TO ME BY CADILLAC RELATED TO HEADLIGHTS THAT GOT MOISTURE IN THEM AND BECAME CLOUDY. IT SAID THEY WOULD PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED FOR 1 OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS WHETHER THE PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED OR NOT YET. I HAD JUST PAID $1,600.00 TO HAVE 1 HEADLIGHT REPLACED DUE TO THIS VERY PROBLEM. THE LETTER SAID I WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF I HAD ALREADY PAID TO FIX PROBLEM. I BROUGHT CAR AND LETTER TO MY CADILLAC DEALERSHIP GARLAND CADILLAC AT 972-840-4100. I SHOWED THEM EVERYTHING AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT USE THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR THAT WERE LISTED ON THE LETTER TO ME. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF MY BILL WITH THE PARTS THEY USED ON IT SO I COULD CALL CADILLAC AND GOT THAT. WHEN I LATER LOOKED IN MY PAPERWORK THE LETTER CADILLAC SENT ME WAS MISSING, PRESUMABLY KEPT BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I WAS THERE. I KNOW DUE TO COVID EVERYTHING WAS EXTENDED AS FAR AS TIME FRAMES. I NEED HELP WITH HAVING ANOTHER COPY OF THE LETTER SENT TO ME, HAVING THE THE DEALERSHIP REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR OF THE 1 HEADLIGHT, AND IN CASE THE 2ND HEADLIGHT DEVELOPS AN ISSUE BEING ABLE TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. IF THEY DID NOT USE THE APPROPRIATE PARTS TO FIX MY INITIAL HEADLIGHT REPAIR I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. THE REPAIR HAS BEEN FINE, DONE MARCH OF 2018. NO ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED.
