  • 2011 CADILLAC SRX
    - Los Angeles, CA

    I received a recall notice for a safety issue with my cadillac srx 2011. Recall #N212340980 regarding the real toe link. My vehicle is already showing signs of this issue and has been for over 2 years. Cadillac is not prepared to handle this issue. I called to make an appointment and was told they do not have the parts yet to fix the issue. Not to drive my car for safety reasons. I do not have access to another car, they cannot offer a loaner vehicle or a rental, so they so. I have doctors appointments, I need to use my vehicle. I am awaiting a reply from the dealership as to when the parts will be available, in the meantime I have to pray my car does not fall apart.
