Body problems of the 2011 Cadillac SRX

Transmission cable and roll away not right gear.

I opened the lift gate with the fob and went to put my groceries in the back and hydraulic lift gate started closing on me almost immediately. I had to physically force the hatch up! if it had been my wife it could have pinned her in and trapped her. This is a major issue it could kill a child! I know it is an older car but they should have built in a force safety switch to disable the hydraulics.

The sunroof drain tubes become plugged and if you can actually find someone to fix the error, its horribly expensive. Water enters the vehicle, causing mold on the back seat floors. This issue has also shorted out my trunk release consistent with other individuals reports and when manually released, via the inside hidden panel, it sparks, which is dangerous and shouldnt happen. After a heavy rain, entering the vehicle sounds like a waterfall all around you from inside. I have to constantly keep moisture absorbers inside of my vehicle in a futile attempt to solve the issue.

This information is addition to the accident, that I reported few days ago. Nhtsa tracking number 11458264. I was involved in car accident on highway i90. My car drove in to concreate barrier and was struck from back by another car. Air bag in my car did not deploy. My head hit steering wheel. I have broken nose. I will need surgery.

I was parked in my driveway and opened the door and found about 3 inches of water on both the drivers and passenger side. I felt the side panels, under dash, top of dash, headliner, windows and all were dry. The seats and the middle column compartment felt damp. I looked online and found there were complaints of the drain tubes leaking. As the week went on I noticed the car was starting to get mold. It got so bad I couldn't drive the car because it was making me ill with breathing issues. I took it to the dealership and told him it was leaking and that I researched a bit and found that they had issues with the tubes and he said they would need to keep it overnight and would check it and let me know. He calls the next day and says it looks like its coming from the roof they would need to take off the headliner and perform a leak check to verify if that was the cause. He gave me another estimate that was to include the verifying and leak test and replacing the seatbelts and front rug for $6000 and suggests I start an insurance claim. I tell him to not take the headliner off and I would check into the insurance . When I pick it up he hands me an estimate that ends up almost $8000. 00! they had my car overnight and did nothing and charged me $300 for labor! I try to turn it in to insurance and they reject it because he tells them he didn't actually verify the leak even though he charged me. So I am stuck with! thats a big safety issue! my car is actually killing me sitting in it. I could never replace the vehicle at the price I originally paid nor can I sell it or hope to get any value from it to get another car. It has only 71,000 miles on it. A $45000 car that is basically worthless now!.

The tail gate will open when the button is pressed but unexpectedly falls striking anyone in the head when putting something in the back end or taking out of the backend.

Automatic rear door opened after I closed it; consequently I unknowingly rammed in to the garage door as I backed out of my garage and afterward it continued to open as I tried to close it. This is not the first time this has happened. A few months ago on vacation the bell hop was helping to pack my luggage and the door kept trying to shut on him (3x), it nearly crushed him. This recent incident did serious damage to the vehicle and minimal damage to the garage door.

2 problems continue to persist. One is the location of the hood release handle near the floor inside left side, where the driver puts his left foot on the floor while driving. Moving the foot back, the left sole edge will catch the handle and release it causing the hood to pop up to the safety catch. At high speeds I'm afraid of the safety catch failing allowing the hood to pop open causing an accident. Secondly; this vehicle has too many blind spots that can easily cause a serious accident. The roof post between the drivers door and rear passenger is a good example of what I mean. A vehicle can be almost along side of you, out of site and you wont see it unless you turn your head around almost looking backwards. The mirror does not pick up the vehicle untill it's nose is by my door. That move creates another problem of hitting some one up ahead. I have not notified the dealer because I don't expect they will do any thing; from past experience I know. Car was purchased at otto Cadillac albany, NY.
