XLR

  • 19,786 miles
Traveling 65mph on a freeway, my Cadillac Xlr suddenly was uncontrollable; it then started to spin; was hit B a semi and continued to spin. I have had electrical problems with this car from day one. The morning before the accident the read out said wait for stabilitrak. I know there was a malfunction that caused the car to become unstable. I have seen mention of this for the Xlr on the internet. When I got to a garage and got out, the car locked me out with the key in the car so I am sure of an electrical issue.
