Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER OF A CADILLAC SRX 2005. THIS HAD APPROX 59,000 MILES AT TIME OF ENGINE FAILURE. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE ON TWO OCCASIONS THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT WHICH TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND NOTHING WRONG. ON SEPT. '08 THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE TIMING BELT FAILED. THIS IS A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 60K MILES AND THE TIMING BELT FAILS. THIS TO ME IS VERY RARE AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES WITH ALOT MORE MILES AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAD A TIMING BELT FAILURE. *TR
