Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA FREEWAY, ENGINE LOST POWER AND COULDN'T BE RESTARTED. MECHANIC SAYS THAT TIMING CHAINS BROKE CAUSING CATASTROPHIC, IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO ENGINE AND PISTONS. APPARENTLY, CADILLAC SRX OWNERS HAVE FREQUENTLY COMPLAINED OF TIMING CHAIN ISSUES, BUT GM HAS NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES. LOSING ENGINE POWER ON A FREEWAY IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
