2010 Cadillac SRX suspension problems

SUSPENSION

* Component systems ABS, braking, steering, loud noises in rear wheels, grinding, are all malfunctioning. The left rear tire was tited while driving, I was told it was unsafe to drive. It's currently at the dealership. * Safety concerns are in the documentation. There are others in Add. Encl. VI - X. Due to the download restrictions, I was unable to submit. * The problems were also noticed by another service center wile putting tires on. * Warning Lights are consistently on: ABS, Engine, Stabilitrac. I can't remember the exact initial date, I know it's been years. I have called this to the attention to the service manager every time the car has been repaired. I have always taken it to the same Cadillac dealership and it's been the same service manager. I am sure, through all of the service records, the initial date can be found. It's been always overlooked. I paid cash for it at another non-Cadillac dealership in 12/2017. I am tired of being taken advantage of. Please help? Your immediate attention will be kindly appreciated. Thank you!

ON THE INTERSTATE (I-74 IN INDIANA) TRAVELING AT 70MPH THE REAR TOE LINK BROKE. MY CAR SWAYED TERRIBLY BACK AND FORTH AND ALMOST SPUN OUT COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A REPAIR SHOP (NOT CADILLAC) RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY. THEY SAID THE REAR TOE LINK WAS BROKEN AND THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER CADILLAC SAID BACK IN 2015 (BEFORE I OWNED THE VEHICLE) THERE WAS A RECALL AND THE TOE LINKS WERE "ADJUSTED". CLEARLY THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER CARS EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO ME THIS COULD HAVE HAD DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR IS NOW IN THE SHOP (AT SOME RANDOM SHOP IN INDIANA) GETTING FIXED BUT CADILLAC HAS SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST. I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION YET BUT WILL PROVIDE IT ONCE THE CAR IS FIXED.
