Takata recall I have a cadillac srx 2006 with very low mileage and there is definitely an issue with the timing chain setup as well as the vehicles head lighting errors, from my research this is definitely a fault from the company design and could have caused injury or even death

The 3.6l motor leaks so much oil that when it gets low it creates a misfire condition and cause the vehicle misfire light to come on and power loss to happen. Check your oil often!!!!

Check engine light for replacement of timing chains, sprockets, actuators, guides, tensioner all major engines parts needing replacement on a cadillac well cared for at barely 100k. Contacted gm, gave run around for weeks and deny the fact that there is premature engine wearing issues w no compensation on these 40k cars, they created an extended warranty for the same issues on same engines in different yr model cars and same exact model as well. Very poor customer service.
