Vehicle safety complaint – 2015 Cadillac Srx VIN: [xxx] mileage: 75,000 miles location: flint mi I am experiencing multiple issues with my 2015 Cadillac Srx that pose serious safety concerns. Evap solenoid and throttle failure: the evap solenoid and throttle are not functioning properly, leading to performance issues. Gas cap light comes on. The SUV struggles to accelerate, especially when attempting to merge or drive at highway speeds. Rear suspension not repaired:the rear suspension problem was not properly repaired by al serra Cadillac, despite previous service. This has resulted in unstable handling and potential safety risks while driving. Acceleration issues: at 75,000 miles, the vehicle is failing to accelerate properly, which is extremely dangerous when merging onto highways or making quick maneuvers. Safety concerns:the throttle and acceleration issues make it difficult to maintain safe driving speeds. The rear suspension problem impacts the vehicle’s stability and handling. These issues create a serious risk to both myself and other drivers on the road. Attempts to resolve: the rear suspension was previously serviced by al serra Cadillac, but the issue persists. The problem has not been adequately addressed by the dealership. I am requesting immediate attention to these concerns, as they directly impact vehicle safety. I would like Cadillac and the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) to investigate these failures and determine if they are related to existing recalls or defects. Next steps:please advise on how to proceed with repairs and any potential recalls or warranty coverage that may apply. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

On Monday, August 5, 2024 when I started the vehicle and began driving to work I noticed upon startup the engine was clearly noticeably louder. It also made a strange bogging downshift type noise when idling. Upon driving, the noise seemed to go in and out but once reaching approximately 40mph the noise got noticeably loud again and the vehicle seemed as though it was having gear shifting issues. I had the transmission fluid flushed and filled costing me $300. This seemed to help but very little. I did research to find recalls on the vehicle and found “special coverage 18029, reference # n172115200”, which is an inoperative purge solenoid. This is a defective part installed by manufacturer. I was unsure if this was the issue with the vehicle however doing research it was very possible. I contacted gm more than once and was stonewalled. All they said was to contact my local Cadillac dealership to have the issue diagnosed and repaired at my cost. They offered no resolution although it’s a defectively installed part by gm at the factory. Engine light came on for the first time Thursday, 01/09/‘25. I used the diagnostic computer tool from autozone and the printed results showed it was in fact the engine variable valve timing solenoid and crankshaft position - camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor a “code p0016”. The vehicle has been dangerous to drive nearly stalling out or unable to shift smoothly nearly causing an accident several times, as well as loud and giving off dangerous noxious fumes. Gms refusal to fix the vehicle due to their negligence in factory installing a defective and faulty part, as well as the rear passenger side tire pressure sensor monitor (tpsm) shows the unconcern for their customers safety and satisfaction with their product and underscores that seemingly their only concern is their own monetary profits and refusal to amend and resolve dangerous mechanical issues caused by their own doing.
Lights became so dim it was impossible to see at night. I replaced the bulbs multiple times with no remedy. I also had the outer shell cleaned which still did not help. I had to finally have the whole assembly replaced.
The evaporator purge valve has went bad on my 2015 Cadillac Srx performance. I know this is a recall on alot of gm models.
