2010 Cadillac SRX Body & Structure Problems

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE HAD TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER DOWN TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES TO SLOW OR STOP. PROBLEM CAME ON RELATIVELY QUICKLY. TOOK TO SHOP. DIAGNOSED AS A LEAK IN POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. ALSO, THE HOOD RELEASE MECHANISM IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BROKE, MAKING RELEASE OF HOOD VERY DIFFICULT. DANGEROUS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY REQUIRING ACCESS TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING NUMEROUS THINGS GOING WRONG. FIRST I STARTED SMELLING THIS STRANGE AWFUL ODOR, NOT KNOWING THAT ITS SOME TYPE OF WATER LEAK SOAKING MY CARPET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, UNDERNEATH THE MAT. I HAD MY CAR DETAILED ON NUMEROUS OCCASION BEFORE NOTICING THIS WATER PUDDLES ON THURSDAY MORNING. ON TOP THAT, I GET OFF WORK ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON ALL I SEE IS WATER POURING FROM THE ROOF RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONTO MY SEAT. I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED...I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS,AND OF COURSE, IT ISN'T FOR MY CAR. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM ON THIS WEDNESDAY. I MUST GO BACK TO WHEN I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THE SMELL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD LOCATE THE SMELL AND THEY TOLD ME IN FACT AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE IT COULD COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I FELT BETRAYED, AFTER BEING OVERWHELMED WITH THIS ISSUE AFTER JUST PAYING $2,200 FOR THE TIMING CHANGE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD AND I AM STILL PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT'S THANKS IN ADVANCE [XXX] PS.STATIONARY AND IN MOTION...

REAR HATCH AUTOMATICALLY OPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHEN MY VEHICLE IS PARKED AND LOCKED, AND ALSO WHEN MY VEHICLE IS ON BUT IDLING EITHER IN A CAR WASH, STOP LIGHT, OR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES THE HATCH WILL NOT SHUT UNTIL I TURN OFF THE CAR. *TR

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.

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

IF YOU HAVE THE REMOTE IN YOUR POCKET OR PURSE AND YOU BUMP IT WHILE GETTING INTO THE CAR YOU CAN OPEN THE REAR DOOR WITHOUT REALIZING IT. THE REAR DOOR OPENED TWICE WHILE I WAS GETTING IN AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT HAD OPENED TILL I REACHED MY DESTINATION THE FIRST TIME AND THE SECOND TIME I DIDN'T REALIZE IT TILL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM HARD OF HEARING SO I DIDN'T HEAR THAT IT WAS OPEN AND THERE WAS NO ALARM OR INDICATOR LIGHT SAYING THE DOOR WAS OPEN. *TR

REAR POWER DOOR (LIFTGATE) REVERSES WHEN OPENING AND SHUTS BY ITSELF. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME I OPEN THE DOOR. IT USUALLY REVERSES WHEN 1/4 TO 3/4 OPEN, THEN SHUTS COMPLETELY. RE-OPENING THE DOOR NORMALLY SUCCEEDS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I WAS HIT ON THE HEAD LAST YEAR BY THIS. THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX THIS AND THEY SAY DETROIT HAS NO ANSWER. *TR

I WAS T-BONED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 10-15 MPH. THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 10-15 MPH. UPON IMPACT MY AUTO. A CADILLAC SRX SUV FLIPPED OVER ON ITS LEFT SIDE. IT APPEARED AS THOUGH MY CAR DID NOT SLIDE SIDEWAYS AT ALL FROM THE IMPACT BUT JUST FLIPPED OVER ON THE LEFT SIDE. *TR
