2012 Cadillac SRX Other or unknown Problems

“I was taking things out of my reach hatch, and it suddenly fell on me without warning, hurting my back and almost trapping me, if my wife was not present, I could not have lifted the hatch . My chest and back hurt and I could have suffocated.”

“Car is parked. Rear lift gate will not stay open. Opens then closes erratically. Could cause bodily harm if a person gets caught in the wild swing of the lift gate. The cause could be an electrical control module. My dealership keeps telling me there is a recall pending but this problem began two years ago and is still ongoing. I am not able to use the lift gate of this vehicle for fear of bodily harm. Please notify me when a recall has been issued.”

“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. …”

“The low beam headlight lens is frosted over preventing headlights from projecting light at night. I have other vehicles flash lights at me on approach.

I dont drive at night as no low beam headlights. I bought and replaced with stronger low beam bulbs, but this did not help. Please issue a cs ease and desist stopping Cadillac sales in the us until this safet defect is corrected.”

The gate went up normally but just as I bent over to put things in, the gate came back down on me. I made an appointment with a dealer today to have it looked at but wanted to report this in hopes of sparing someone else from more serious injury in the future. …”
