2010 Cadillac SRX Tires & Wheels Problems

MY BREAK GOING ALL THE WAY DOW WHEN I HAVE A BUMP ON THE STREETS I BRING TO CADILLAC DEALER AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS OK I CAN DRIVE MY CAR BUT GM HAS NOT RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE

THE BEARINGS ON TWO OF THE TIRES THE EMISSIONS IS GIVING ME TROUBLE I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO CHANGED EVERYTHING CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION

WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A POWER STEERING ISSUE TURNED OUT TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY. ONLY IF I MADE A HARD TURN WOULD THE CAR SOUND LIKE THERE WAS GRINDING. I DID NOT NEED TO BE BRAKING FOR THE SOUND TO OCCUR. SOFT TURNS DID NOT RESULT IN THE GRINDING NOISE. THINKING THAT IT MIGHT BE THE BRAKES, WE TOOK IT TO A PEP BOYS SERVICE STATION. THE MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY CALLED US BACK TO SHOW US "A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN WE THOUGHT". OF THE THREE HUB ASSEMBLY BOLTS, ONE WAS MISSING AND THE OTHER TWO WERE LOOSE AND ON THEIR WAY TO FALLING OUT. THE MECHANIC ASKED IF WE HAD HAD ANY FRONT END WORK DONE. WE HAD NOT. WE SUSPECT THE BOLTS WERE NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE AND OVER TIME THE BOLTS HAD WORKED THEIR WAY LOOSE TO THE POINT THAT THE ROTOR HAD OBVIOUS PLAY, CAUSING THE GRINDING NOISE. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND CONSIDER MYSELF VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T LOSE THE WHEEL OFF OF THE CAR, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY THE DAY BEFORE. WE CONSIDER THIS EPISODE TO BE A NEAR-MISS SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE WHEELS SEIZED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HUBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MONTHS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. UPDATED 01/27/17*LJ

CAR CAME W/ INFLATER KIT, NO SPARE TIRE. HAD BLOWOUT. TOOK 5 HOURS TO GET TOWED AND FIND NEW TIRE/REPLACE. I HAVE SINCE ORDERED THE SPARE FROM CADILLAC PARTS DEPT FOR $350 INCLUDING JACK AND MOUNTING KIT! EVERYONE SHOULD DO IF YOU TRAVEL FAR FROM HOME........EASY CURE! *TR

CADILLAC REFUSES TO ALLOW ME TO ORDER A NEW 2010 SRX WITH A SPARE TIRE. THE CAR COMES STANDARD WITH A CAN OF FIX-A-FLAT TYPE SOLUTION TO FIX YOUR TIRE. HOWEVER IF THE FIX-A-FLAT SOLUTION CANNOT FIX THE HOLE, YOU ARE STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY UNTIL YOU CAN BUY A NEW TIRE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET A SPARE TIRE ON A NEW SRX IS IF IT IS A FLEET PURCHASE (E.G. RENTAL CAR COMPANIES). IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER CAN REFUSE TO OFFER A SPARE TIRE AS AN OPTION ON A NEW CAR. THIS IS TOTALLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS BIZARRE AND ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE SITUATION. THANKS, VINCE

MOUNTED ON MY NEW VOGUE 2010 SRX CAD (VIN: [XXX]) WERE 275-45-20 TIRES ON 8" WHEELS. INSTEAD OF P235/65R 18. I BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED ONGOING (SINCE TIME OF VEHICLE PURCHASE) LOST OF TIRE AIR PRESSURE AND/OR POSSIBLE HUB BEARING ISSUES; AS WELL IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
