NHTSA complaint: 2005 CADILLAC SRX — SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHEN MY "VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL" HAS TURNED ON BY ITSELF CAUSING THE ENTIRE CAR TO VIOLENTLY JERK TO THE RIGHT SIDE. I WAS COMING OFF OF A EXIT ON 8/18/2011 AT ABOUT 40MPH ONCE AGAIN THE TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON FOR NO REASON CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT, I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, JUMPED A CURB, HIT A LIGHT POLE AND ROLLED INTO THE TREES. CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONSCIOUSNESS, MISS 6 WEEKS FROM WORK AND INCUR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIR COSTS AND MEDICAL EXPENSES. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE RIGHT SIDE FRONTAL CRASH. THE SEATBELT CAUSED 3 HERNIATED DISKS IN MY NECK THAT I AM STILL BEING TREATED FOR. IN ADDITION TO THAT THE TRANSFER CASE CHAIN SNAPPED AND I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. *KB
