ULTRAVIEW SUNROOF ON MY 2004 CADILLAC SRX EXPLODED, SHATTERING INTO 100'S OF PIECES. NOT STRUCK BY FOREIGN OBJECT. OUTSIDE TEMP = 75; SPPED = 65 MPH. *JB

RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE. DIC DISPLAYED 17 GALLONS USED ON 20 GALLON TANK WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE 3 GALLONS REMAINING, I DIDN'T ASK THE AAA TOW TO BRING GAS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CLEVELAND, WHERE THE DEALER SAID THAT THE CAR WAS ON EMPTY. THIS COST $60.03 PLUS NEARLY $200.00 WITH CAR RENTAL BACK TO MICHIGAN, THEN ADDITIONAL GAS AND TIME OFF WORK TO RETURN TO WORK TO PICK UP THE CAR. DIDN'T MIND THAT THE DEALER MADE ME FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT. I ONLY WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT THE DIC IS NOT RELIABLE. I COULD HAVE HAD AAA BRING GAS FREE OF CHARGE AND BEEN ON MY WAY. OBVIOUSLY, THIS REALLY UPSET ME.*AK

RECURRING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. FIRST PROBLEM I HAD, THE MOTOR IN THE WINDOW WENT OUT, THEN THE NEXT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I HAD WAS THE WIRING FOR THE BLINKERS KEPT GOING OUT, THE NEXT AND MOST MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I'M STILL HAVING IS THAT WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND SECURED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND RADIO COMES BACK ON WITHIN TEN SECONDS AFTER I'VE TURNED OFF AND SECURED THE CAR. THE MIDDLE ARMREST KEEPS DETACHING AT THE BACK WHERE THE CELL PHONE PLUG IS LOCATED. THE DOOR LOCKS (INDICATING LATCH BY WINDOW) DOESN'T LIFT UP. THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY THE DEALER (CADILLAC) AT LEAST TWO TIMES EACH. *JB

MY DAUGHTER WAS BURNED TWICE BY THE TAILPIPE ON THE 2004 SRX. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED CADILLAC THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY CASE ON FILE REGARDING THE TAILPIPE. SIX WEEKS LATER SHE WAS SEVERELY BURNED AGAIN. THIS TIME CADILLAC OPENED A CASE FILE AND THE CASE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT PER CADILLAC SPECIFICATIONS. *NM
