Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The rear lift gate opens randomly. Parked in the garage, it opens. Out shopping parked in a lot and return to car and it's open. Parked in driveway, it opens. It happens whenever and wherever. When I notice the lift gate has opened, I close it and check it 20 minutes later only to find it open again.”

“While driving my SRX through downtown area, I was attempting to make a turn and it suddenly wouldn't steer in the direction I wanted it to and when I attempted to hit the brakes it dived directly into a brick wall and all four airbags deployed and car was declared as total loss.”

NHTSA complaint #11374371, filed 2020-11, 100 miles

“Tailgate will not stay up. If it would have hit my wife, it would been a disaster. Fortunately, she got out of the way in time. The car was stationary when my wife tried to open the tailgate. Tailgate will not stay up.”

NHTSA complaint #11073370, filed 2018-02, 57,000 miles

“I have a Cadillac SRX 2010 with 79k miles. I was just informed that I have a timing chain that needs to be replaced. They tell me that because I have the 3.0l engine it is not covered by the recall on the 3.6l engine. But through my research onlinei find that there is no difference in the timing chain or the tensioners. The issue is if my engine were to seize and cause the vehicle to abruptly loose control someone or myself could be injured or die.”

NHTSA complaint #10899499, filed 2016-08, 79,000 miles

“While driving my car loses the power to accelerate when traveling 5 miles per hour to go faster, the RPM's go up but the car do not accelerate. In my research this is happening to a lot of cars.”
