THE REAR HATCH OPENED ON IT'S OWN. THIS MOST RECENT TIME MY HUSBAND DID NOT NOTICE THAT IT HAD HAPPENED & ENTERED OUR GARAGE WITH IT UP, BREAKING THE WINDOW & WIPER UNIT. AS WE THOUGHT BACK, I HAD ONE TIME WITHIN THE PAST 3 MO. WHEN I WAS DRIVING & DISCOVERED IT WAS UP. ALSO, EACH OF US HAD ONE TIME WHEN WE CAME OUT OF A STORE & FOUND IT UP, EVEN THOUGH WE ALWAYS LOCK THE VEHICLE. WE EACH DISMISSED THESE EARLIER INCIDENTS THINKING WE MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG. WE ARE HAVING THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED THE DAMAGE CHECK TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND SOME DEFECT THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE POWER STEERING GEAR HAS BEGUN LEAKING, THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPACT BUT THERE IS A LEAK OF POWER STEERING FLUID. *TR

STOPPED AT A LIGHT. LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN AND PRESSED PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY INTO INTERSECTION AND THEN WOULD NOT CONTINUE FOR 5 TO 7 SECONDS. THE ENGINE WAS AT IDLE, NOT STALLED, AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE PEDDLE NO MATTER WHAT INPUT WAS RENDERED. BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND EVEN HAD A RECORDER INSTALLED, BUT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A FATALITY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY SRX BACK TO WORK ON AIRPORT RD IN WATERFORD MICHIGAN AT 40MPH. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC WITHIN VIEW OF ME WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED DROPPING GLASS ALL OVER MY INTERIOR AND MYSELF. I WAS UNHARMED OTHER THAN A FEW VERY SMALL PIECES SCRATCHING MY ARM. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS HOWEVER WHEN I AND OTHER HAVE CALLED GM TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM WE ALL GET THE SAME ANSWER."I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING" I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS YET ANOTHER MANUFACTURER PROBLEM WITH GM AND THEY ARE DODGING IT. *TR

WATER DRAIN FROM MOON ROOF SEPARATED AND WATER FLUID ED THE VEHICLE SHORT IN OUT MANY COMPONENTS. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE HAD TO PAY $1900. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED I FEEL THAT THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AT NO COST TO ME. BEING THAT THERE WERE AT LEAST FIVE OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME DEALER REPAIR SHOP AT THE SAME TIME. SPOKE TO THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRING THE CAR BEFORE MINE AND WAS TOLD HE KNEW ACTUALLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE SHOWED ME THAT THE DRAIN TUBE CAME FROM THE FACTORY PULLED TO SHORT AND TIGHT AND WHEN THERE IS A HEAVY RAIN THE RUN OFF CAUSED THE TUBING THAT RUN DOWN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD END PILLARS TO SEPARATE WHICH THEN LEADS TO WATER FILLING THE INTERIOR CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, IN BETWEEN THE DOORS, OVER THE DASH AND IT'S INTERIOR COMPONENTS, DOWN INTO THE LIFT GATE AND ONTO THE INTERIOR FLOORING WHICH IT HAD AND FLOODING IT. *TR

I HAVE FOUND SOME RECALLS FOR THIS CAR BY VIN.#, BUT WHEN I ENTER IT IN GM RECALL SITE, THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALLS. MITCHELL AND ALL DATA REPORTED A PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULE, NO DEPLOYMENT PROBLEM. HEATED WINDSHIELD WASHER MODULE CAN CAUSE A POSSIBLE FIRE. REAR TIE ROD NUT CAN COME LOOSE AND CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
