“At night I can't see out my window it's very dark and my headlights are very dim making it very hard to see at night. I have to put my high beams on to see. Also my strong is hard to turn when I'm trying to reverse or park but sometimes it's fine like their isn't anything wrong and when I'm when I'm driving it's fine. My horn and everything on my steering wheel stopped working all of a sudden. I went to my car in the morning to turn it on and my heated steering wouldn't work the cruise control no buttons worked plus my horn. …”
NHTSA complaint #11184624, filed 2019-03, 152,000 miles“While driving north on i75 going roughly 70mph around 5:30pm est and when the sunroof shattered on my 2008 Cadillac SRX. There was no one ahead of me close enough that would have cause degree to debris to fly up and break it.”
NHTSA complaint #10340778, filed 2010-06, 37,000 miles“I was driving my SRX back to work on airport rd in waterford michigan at 40mph. There was no traffic within view of me when all of the sudden my sunroof exploded dropping glass all over my interior and myself. I was unharmed other than a few very small pieces scratching my arm. I looked on the internet to find that this has happened to other owners however when I and other have called GM to discuss the problem we all get the same answer. I have never heard of that happening I believe that this is yet another manufacturer problem with GM and they are dodging it.”
NHTSA complaint #10583976, filed 2014-04, 69,000 miles“While driving on our driveway, (no trees, rocks, debris, etc) the center portion of the moonroof imploded into the car. The shade was pulled trapping most of the glass shards from entering the vehicle. Nothing could have possibly hit the glass and I was traveling 5 MPH or less, coming to a stop at the end of our driveway. I have read many complaints online of this occurring and think it is a manufacturer defect as this portion of the glass covers the motors/mechanism that controls the moonroof. The temperatures were not extreme and the car had not been driven prior to the incident. …”
NHTSA complaint #10705519, filed 2015-04, 80,000 miles“Driving home slowly, 25 MPH, the moonroof shattered. Fortunately,the glass was caught by the sun fabric screen, however, it was extremely distracting and frightful. There were no prior cracks, wear marks, nor signs of wear, nor fallen objects. This could have caused a terrible accident.”
