I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE 6 MONTHS AGO. I NEVER OWNED A CADILLAC AND I REALLY LOVE IT BUT THERE ISN'T ALOT OF LEG ROOM IN THE BACK SEAT AND ITS HARD TO SEE THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS BEING 6'4 THE WAY THE WINDOW IS SHAPED I HAVE TO HUNCH TO THE SIDE AND LOOK UP. MY MAIN PROBLEM IS THE TOUCH SCREEN FROM THE CUE APPLICATIONS. IT DOESN'T REGISTER MY TOUCH SO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS TO CHANGE ANYTHING. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT I DON'T THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULD GO OUT THAT FAST. I HAVE READ OTHER OWNERS STATING THE SAME THING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAUSE S PERSON SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS WHEN THERE IS A TOUCH SCREEN TO DO THAT. I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE THE NEWEST SOFTWARE AVAILABLE OR PUT A NEW UPDATED VERSION INSTEAD OF THE ONE THAT WAS FIRST PUT OUT. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER

AT FIRST, THEY THOUGHT OF CHANGING THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND CRANKSHAFT SENSORS MAYBE IT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDN'T. THEY SUGGEST TO CALL THE CADILLAC DEALER POSSIBLE FOR RECALLS. I DRIVE MY CAR DAILY TO WORK, FROM MERCED TO LATHROP, THAT'S ABOUT 120 MILES BACK AND FORT. I USED TO DRIVE MY CAR FROM MERCED TO FREMENT FROM THE PAST 4YEARS EVERYDAY BUT I GOT TRANFER TO LATHROP ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW.

On November 06, 2020, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Preliminary Evaluation (PE20-019) to assess the remedy and scope of General Motors (GM) recall 14V-571. ODI had received a total of 9 complaints with allegations of rear toe links separating while the vehicle was in motion. There were 4 complainants indicating that the remedy for recall 14V-571 had been performed on their vehicle. The other 5 complaints were outside the original recall scope but exhibited the same failure mode as addressed by recall 14V-571 and reported uncontrolled swaying while driving.ODI's review focused on all 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles that experienced a rear toe link failure while the vehicle was in motion under various driving conditions. The failures were the same or similar to those addressed by the remedy associated with recall 14V-571. The remedy for recall 14V-571 was to inspect the rear toe link adjusters and replace them if necessary as well as tighten both jam nuts to a manufacturer specified torque. The remedy can be reversed when the vehicle gets a rear alignment adjustment and the jam nuts are not properly re-torqued to the manufacturer's specification. ODI's data review confirmed a high toe link failure rate in vehicles that either had and had not received the remedy associated with recall 14V-571. On June 24, 2021, GM filed a defect information report recalling all 2010-2016 Cadillac SRX and 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X vehicles to remedy the potential failure of the rear toe link adjuster while driving. The remedy replaces adjustable toe links with non-adjustable toe links. The recall (21V-473) includes vehicles that were remedied under 14V-571. In view of the recall action being taken by GM, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. NHTSA reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.The ODI complaints cited above can be viewed at www.nhtsa.gov.The ODI identification numbers for the complaints cited above can be found in a separate document attached to this closing resume.
