I asked the dealer if the vehicle we were contemplating buying had any accidents. Dealer showed me a carfax that did not reflect any accidents and stated as such. Upon going in to trade my vehicle this weekend I was made aware the vehicle has been in three accidents with structural damage and the vehicle is significantly less than paid. I specifically asked the dealer for the carfax. The structural damage accident happened less than 30 days before selling to me and had not been reflected on the carfax yet the dealer knew. I also paid over $500 for a fuel injector issue that was causing engine misfiring. On a long trip my check engine light starting flashing. I got it into a repair shop immediately.
The contact owns a 2016 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, she could not see out of the rear window. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that condensation had accumulated on the inside of the rear window. The contact also discovered that he was unable to open the rear hatch from the outside and had to use a screwdriver to open the hatch. Once opened, he discovered that the spare tire and rear side compartments were all filled with water. The rear hatch module was also submerged in water which led to the hatch failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was given a case number. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 21,000.
