Wheel Problems of Cadillac SRX - part 2

Since purchased new, this car has been involved in a number of recalls that have/have not been announced. The first incident occured 3 months after purchase--at slow speeds, the vehicle made a noise similar to that of worn brake pads/rotor at slow speeds. Upon my personal inspection, the blue lug nuts were less than hand tight on drivers front and passenger rear--the car was taken to dealership for first oil change and to inspect this defect--they stated that this vehicle was not part of the lug nut recall that was previously issued on other Srx models. I stated concern of the integrity of the wheel studs since they were likely stressed while driving with loose nuts, along with potential uneven tire wear, but the dealership did not agree. 6 months later, a recall was issued for door handles--the fix was removing and milling down parts and placing back on. 6 months later, the car would nearly stall out/have delayed response to acceleration after stopping at a stop sign--this could have cause serious injury if occured while pulling out into traffic (luckily never the case)-- thought this was due to wife letting gas level reach low level before refilling, but found out was electronic issue in the program (recalled and fixed). 2 months later the car does not shift well between rapid acceleration--recieved notification of another computer issue that controls the transmission. (although a card was sent in the mail notifying of this issue, this did not show up on the NHTSA website when searched). A true concern for the safety of my wife and 2 small children--additionally due to the nature of some of these issues, there is concern with the mechanical integrity of this vehcile in the future--stress on wheel studs, drawn out automatic shifting causing stress on the transmission. Although many of these items have been "fixed" these corrections do not take into account other damge.

I purchased my 2010 Srx (used) in oct 2011 from king Acura in birmingham, al. It had 23,000 miles on it at time of purchase. From the date of purchase I have had an issue with a rubbing noise when the wheels are turned to the left or right. The noise seems to be worse when the vehicle is cold. I have had the vehicle inspected at our local Cadillac dealership, and though they did hear the rubbing noise, the technicians were unable to determine a cause. In addition to being very annoying, especially after paying premium prices for a luxury vehicle, I am concerned there may be a structural problem that will result in accident and injury. I am taking the vehicle back to the dealership, but I fear it is a futile effort as the mechanics seem to have no idea what is causing this noise. Is this issue common, and if so, is it being researched and addressed by the engineers at Cadillac? someone please address this and provide a fix! if a fix has been determined, please provide instructions on the procedures for having this problem resolved as soon as possible.

The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that the tpms warning indicator would illuminate on the instrument control panel. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they placed air in the tire. Soon afterwards, the tire continued to lose air pressure. He returned to the dealer and they discovered a one inch fracture in the rim, which caused the tire to fail. The technician also concluded that there was no external force, such as a crash onto a curb, that caused the wheel to begin cracking on the inside. The rims are the original equipment. The contact is in the process of having the vehicle repaired. The failure and current mileages were 81,037. Updated 11/17/08 updated 11/24/08.
