Today is Saturday, November 11, 2023. While driving my check, engine light came on, and I was given a message on the dash that engine power was reduced. I was only able to drive the car 30 to 45 miles an hour to get home. I have not taken the car to the mechanic yet, but will do so when they open on Monday. I was in a heavily congested area with many cars passing me at great speeds. I connected a code reader to my automobile, and came up with the code P2138. After doing research, it is my understanding that General Motors knows of this problem and has not addressed it at this time. For that reason, I feel I should be reimbursed for mechanic parts and services to repair this problem.

BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 2020 I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT STARTED JERKING AROUND REALLY BAD WHEN I WOULD EITHER UPSHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT IN 1-2 GEAR. TOOK IT TO CADILLAC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WE TOOK IT TO A COUPLE OF OTHER MECHANICS AND A LOT OF MONEY LATER NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING. ONE DAY DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR STARTED JERKING SO BAD THAT I ALMOST CRASHED. COME TO FIND OUT THE TRANSMISSION DIED. WE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. WHEN I DRIVE AND GET TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR THE ENTIRE CAR SHAFTS TO SHAKE AND JERK AROUND AND THIS HAPPENED WHEN I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR. GM IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP US. AT THIS POINT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND AND CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP RANDOMLY REPLACING PARTS ON A CAR THAT IS JUST NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. I AM TRULY AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

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.
