Summary

There was a reimbursement program for 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX's due to dim headlights. I didn't have mine fixed during the reimbursement program 1) because the timeline for reimbursement fell during the pandemic and shelter in place orders in my area; 2) I am a high-risk for getting COVID due to preexisting health conditions and 3) my headlights were not that bad. Fast forward to a year later, and I can barely see in front of me due to the diming of the headlights. I am told that Cadillac will not reimburse me because I missed the deadline. The lamps are so dim that I cannot safely drive at night.

On November 4th it went into the dealership to have the parts replaced and the following morning my car lost control when something happened between the tires and the steering which caused my car to swerve all over the road, lose control, flip and go into a ditch. There were 3 warning lights on, ABS, traction, and Stabilitrak. The car has not yet been inspected but will be. Thank God it happened around 5:30 a.m. when there were not a lot of cars out yet on the highway.

Summary

I received a letter from Cadillac that they were aware of an issue with the moisture in the headlights on my vehicle, and were offering a credit towards replacement of the headlights. At the time, I did not have an issue, but a year later my lights became significantly dimmer making it unsafe to drive. I reported the issue to Cadillac in July of 2021 and was told to take it to a dealership for a diagnosis to start the claim process. August 4th, I contacted Cadillac again with the estimate and was told I would hear back in 3-5 days. I did not receive a phone call, but emails stating they could not reach me to and to call back. The email was a template that was not filled out and I had left numerous voicemails for my rep, and her supervisor. I contacted the BBB in September and was told they were working with the dealership. On 10/20/21 I received a call at 6:45 am then a response from the BBB stating "to have the work completed and it will be reviewed for reimbursement." The car is dangerous to drive at night, Cadillac is well aware of the issue, and using tactics to avoid correcting a defective part.

Summary

So while driving the stabilizer light came on and it swerved when I went to hit my brakes to stop the car because I was heading across a bridge the brake somehow lost power and I pushed and it didn’t do anything by the time I got the pressure to come back I guess after pushing a few times it was too late and I rear ended another vehicle and completed pushed in the entire front on my truck. This is the second time the light came on but the first time it swerved and then the brakes going out shouldn’t have happened because I got the brakes replaced earlier this year

Summary

driving 40mph and the brakes started having issues. the pedal had to be pressed all the way to the floor and pumped to get the car to stop. from my research I see that this is a very common issue with this vehicle. this is a major safety issue that's going to eventually lead to a fatality if it hasn't already. if this is not a safety issue and a manufacturers defect then I really don't know what is

Summary

The brakes get soft and go almost to the floor at times. This usually happens after having to brake hard for a sudden stop. It takes constant pumping of the brakes for them to work properly again. I just had my brakes checked and the pads and rotors are good, so the problem could not be diagnosed. There have been no warnings or alerts for this problem and no recall letters. This is definitely a safety concern because braking hard for sudden stops is sometimes necessary to avoid a crash. This has been happpening for about 8 months. Mileage is 105,000.

Summary

On multiple occasions I have experienced an unexpected temporary loss of braking. Peddle went to the floor requiring pumping of brakes to come to a stop. It lasts days and unexpectedly returns to normal. No warning signal to check brakes etc. For days after I have to pump the brakes and adjust my braking response time in order to avoid hitting another car. Each time this happened I have had it checked and nothing found. I’m from Florida and summer in RI. I had the vehicle checked in RI last year? Twice in FL. I have noticed ot happens during inclement weather or hitting an unexpected hole in the road. The last time this happened was several days ago on the MA turnpike during a rain storm. Very scarey and very dangerous. The brakes went back to normal but only after a week. I went on the car websites and realized it was happening to others too. With Cadillac! I spend a lot of time on the highway and a quick braking response is vital.

Summary

The Low Beam head lights put out only enough light to see 10 feet in front of the vehicle at night. Therefore the car can not be driven at night. Neither the driver nor the passenger can see forward enough to prevent any accident. My research has found that this particular model has had many complaints about the issue with little to no resolutions from the manufacturer. Installing new OEM bulbs has minimal effect. I have owned this car since April and can not allow my wife or myself thrive the car after sunset.

Because of the poor design of the headlights on the Cadillac SRX, I was afraid to drive at night because the lights are too dim to see the road ahead.

THIS WAS EXTENDED ONLY FOR CUSTOMERS WITH PRODUCT BACKORDERS. THE PANDEMIC HIT JUST 1 MONTH AFTER GM ISSUED THIS LETTER. WITH JOB LOSSES,ILLNESSES, & DEATHS, GM DID NOT SEND ANY LETTERS MODIFYING THEIR ISSUE FOR SRXS OR OFFERING ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR THOSE IN FINANCIAL CRISIS DURING COVID-19.

Summary

WE WERE TRAVELING ON A CITY STREETS AND THE BREAK SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING PROPERLY UNTIL WE HAD TO DO A HARD BREAKING EMERGENCY STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 30 MPH. THERE WERE ICY CONDITIONS AND WE SLID THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE EMERGENCY BREAKING, AND WHEN WE APPLIED THE BREAKS AGAIN, THE BREAK PEDAL HAD NO RESISTANCE AND THE BREAK PEDAL WOULD SLOWLY GO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE OR NO BREAKING ACTION. A INSPECTION UNDER THE VEHICLE DID NOT REVEAL ANY FLUID LEAKS TO INDICATE A RUPTURE OF THE SEALED BREAK SYSTEM. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SUGGEST THAT A VALVE MAY HAVE BECOME STUCK OPEN IN THE ABS CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY REVERTING FLUID BACK TO THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR AND NOT TO THE WHEELS. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER OF ANY BREAKING PROBLEMS WHILE CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AFTER HARD BREAKING. THE MILLAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53000 MILES. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM BUT, I THINK IT MAY BE WARRANTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

IN 11/2017 I COMPLAINED TO MY DEALER ABOUT HEAD LIGHT LOW LIGHT PROBLEMS. THEY SAID. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I COMPLAINED AGAIN IN 2018. IN 2019 I COMPLAINED AGAIN, THEY REFERRED ME TO AN AUDIO SHOP TO HAVE THE BULBS REPLACED. THAT DID NOT WORK SO I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLAMPS DUE TO EXTREME SAFETY ISSUES AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. THEN IN FEB. 2020 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CADILLAC THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE OR REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE AFFECTED. I SENT IN ALL PAPERWORK FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND WAS DENIED ANY REIMBURSEMENT. THEY SIGHTED MULTIPLE EXCLUSIONS (I HAD TO ORDER THE HEADLAMPS OFF OF AMAZON BECAUSE MY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THEM). CADILLAC NEVER SPECIFIED WHAT TYPE OF PAPERWORK AND SPECIFICS, THEY SAID TO SEND IN ANY PAPERWORK RELATED TO THE REPAIR OF THE LIGHTS, WHICH I DID! THIS ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS WAS AN EXTREME DANGER. ANYTIME I HAD SOMEONE IN MY CAR AT NIGHT THEY ASKED IF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON AND COULD NOT BELIEVE THEY WERE. CADILLAC INITIALLY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND NOW THEY ARE GIVING ME THE ''RUN AROUND' WITH MULTIPLE EXCUSES AS TO WHY THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE REPAIR I HAD TO MAKE FOR THEIR ACKNOWLEDGED SAFETY ISSUE.

THE LOW BEAMS ARE LIKE HAVING NO LIGHTS AT ALL ON, MAKING NIGHT TIME DRIVING NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. SIMILAR TO USING A FLASHLIGHT TO DRIVE WITH. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON AND BLIND OTHERS JUST SO I CAN SEE. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

Summary

THE NORMAL HEADLAMPS ON THE VEHICLE ARE EQUIVALENT TO A NIGHT LIGHT BULB. YOU CANNOT SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE NORMAL HEADLIGHTS ON. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A LAW SUIT FOR THIS, BUT THERE WAS ONLY A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED AND IT WAS A REIMBURSEMENT SITUATION WITH A HEFTY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FACT, NOT KNOWING OF THIS PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED BY A GM REPRESENTATIVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM? IT WORKS, BUT OTHER DRIVERS ARE NOT HAPPY AS THEY FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT US. WE HAVE NO OTHER SOLUTION, CANT SEE AND DONT HAVE THE $1600 WE WERE TOLD IT COSTS TO FIX THE ISSUE.

SEVERAL YEARS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING I WOULD REIMBURSED BECAUSE OF YOUR LAWSUIT ABOUT THESE HEADLIGHTS. I FILED AND DID RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT. HOWEVER, SEVERAL YEARS LATER ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED AGAIN. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TOO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES AND PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING REIMBURSED.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAD BECOME VERY DIM DUE APPARENTLY TO A FAULTY SEAL ENABLING MOISTURE TO GET IN. IT MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT IS RAINING. CADILLAC SENT A LETTER ADMITTING THE ISSUE AND OFFERING REIMBURSEMENT, BUT REQUIRES CUSTOMERS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS ON THEIR OWN THEN SUBMIT TO CADILLAC FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE FIX AND REIMBURSEMENT PROCESS TOOK ALMOST 9 MONTHS, BUT I WAS IN FACT REIMBURSED. THE ADDED PROBLEM AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE REPLACEMENT LIGHTS ARE THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL LIGHTS, AND ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY AND DIFFERENT MORE RELIABLE HEADLAMPS USED.

Summary

AFTER A HEAVY STORM, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, BUT NOTHING IN THE CAR WOULD RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB OR PUSH TO START. AFTER JUMPING THE BATTERY, WE WERE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE ERRATICALLY SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING. THE GAUGES AND SYSTEM LIGHTS KEPT BLINKING AND TURNING OFF. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SMOKE, SO I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THERE WAS A MUSTY SMELL WHICH PROVOKED ME TO SEARCH FOR WATER INTRUSION. THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS WERE SOAKING WET. I COULDN'T GET THE LIFTGATE OPEN, SO I CLIMBED INTO THE REAR AREA AND FOUND COMPARTMENTS THAT HAD STANDING WATER. THE REAR CARPETS WERE ALSO WET. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE STORM CAUSED DEBRI TO CLOG THE SUNROOF DRAINS CAUSING THE OVERFLOW PANS TO POUR INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE LIFTGATE MODULE TO INITIATE A PERPETUAL SIGNAL TO THE BATTERY CAUSING IT TO DIE. I ALSO HAD WATER AND FOGGING BUILT UP IN THE HEADLIGHT COVERS REDUCING THE LAMP OUTPUT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON DESIGN FLAW THAT GM REFUSES TO ADMIT OR EVEN COVER REPAIRS BEYOND THE INITIAL MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING BECAUSE I'M SURE THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN THERE'S A RAIN DOWNPOUR, AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE WATER CORRODES THE LIFTGATE MODULE OR OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. WATER AVOIDANCE IS NOT AN OPTION. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD OWN THIS PROBLEM THEY CREATED AND PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE.

HEADLIGHTS ON NORMAL USE SETTING (NOT HI-BEAM) ARE ON BUT SO LOW BRIGHTNESS WISE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT USING THEM. YOU HAVE TO USE HI-BEAM ALL THE TIME WHICH IS A LARGER HAZARD FOR US AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IN LOOKING CLOSELY AT THE HEADLIGHTS, THE SILVER PART TO MAKE THE REFLECTION WORK, IS ALL BLACK. REPLACING THE BULBS DOES NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF VISION WHEN USING THE LIGHTS ON THE NORMAL SETTING. A LETTER WAS SENT TO REIMBURSE FOR REPLACEMENTS, HOWEVER, IT HAD TO BE USED IN A SHORT TIME FRAME AND WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO COME UP WITH MORE MONEY THAN WAS GOING TO BE REIMBURSED ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THIS SHOULD BE A FULL BLOWN RECALL WITH ZERO OUT OF POCKET. IT IS DANGEROUS!

I WENT HELP A FAMILY MEMBER AT THEIR HOUSE. I GOT LATER IN THE DAY AND BY THE TIME I WAS READY TO LEAVE IT HAD BECOME DARK. BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY I NOTICED THE THE VISIBILITY WAS POOR DUE TO THE BACK WINDOW BEING MUCH HIGHER THAN I WAS USED TO. I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A WEEK SO I USED THE MIRRORS MOSTLY AND FIGURED I WASN'T USE TO IT YET. WHEN I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM, I THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG AND DIDN'T TURN THEM ON AND MAYBE THEY WERE IN "DAYLIGHT" DRIVING MODE. NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE DASH BOARDS BUTTONS I WAS SCRAMBLING PUSH THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT SETTING, IT WAS ALSO RAINING PRETTY HARD NOTHING SEEMED TO HELP SO I JUST DROVE HOME VERY SLOWLY AND NERVOUS WONDERING WHY A 55 THOUSAND DOLLAR SUV HAD SUCH CRAPPY HEADLIGHTS, I READ A LOT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM RECENTLY AND REALIZED THAT IT WASN'T ME. THE FRONT LIGHTS WERE A MAJOR ISSUE OF COMPLAINT. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IT RAINS VERY HARD AND FAST HERE AND I RARELY GO ANYWHERE AT NIGHT. BUT I CAN'T GO THE REST OF MY LIFE ONLY DRIVING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY, HAD I HAVE READ THOSE COMPLAINTS BEFORE BUYING IT I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY DISMISSED IT AS OVER EXAGGERATED WHINER THAT COMPLAINS ABOUT SILLY THINGS .BUT THIS IS VERY MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CADILLACS IN THE PAST AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THEM. BUT THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOME PEOPLE, I'M VERY SURPRISED IT HASN'T ALREADY. ALL THE TALK ABOUT MOISTURE GETTING IN SIDE IS NOT THE CASE WITH MINE. I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT DREW MY ATTENTION BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT LENSES' WERE SHOWROOM CLEAR AND NOT LIKE A LOT OF THE PLASTIC LENS THAT ARE SUN OF WATER DAMAGED. SO ITS NOT THE LENS ISSUE WITH MINE IT JUST CRAPPY LIGHT BULBS, DESIGN, OR SOMETHING, BUT CADILLAC NEEDS TO FIX IT. I AM SHOCKED THAT IT HAS GONE THIS MANY YEARS WITHOUT MULTIPLE DEATHS. I NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING BUT WOW! THIS IS BADDDD!!!

A LETTER WAS SENT TO ME BY CADILLAC RELATED TO HEADLIGHTS THAT GOT MOISTURE IN THEM AND BECAME CLOUDY. IT SAID THEY WOULD PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED FOR 1 OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS WHETHER THE PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED OR NOT YET. I HAD JUST PAID $1,600.00 TO HAVE 1 HEADLIGHT REPLACED DUE TO THIS VERY PROBLEM. THE LETTER SAID I WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF I HAD ALREADY PAID TO FIX PROBLEM. I BROUGHT CAR AND LETTER TO MY CADILLAC DEALERSHIP GARLAND CADILLAC AT 972-840-4100. I SHOWED THEM EVERYTHING AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT USE THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR THAT WERE LISTED ON THE LETTER TO ME. I ASKED FOR A COPY OF MY BILL WITH THE PARTS THEY USED ON IT SO I COULD CALL CADILLAC AND GOT THAT. WHEN I LATER LOOKED IN MY PAPERWORK THE LETTER CADILLAC SENT ME WAS MISSING, PRESUMABLY KEPT BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I WAS THERE. I KNOW DUE TO COVID EVERYTHING WAS EXTENDED AS FAR AS TIME FRAMES. I NEED HELP WITH HAVING ANOTHER COPY OF THE LETTER SENT TO ME, HAVING THE THE DEALERSHIP REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR OF THE 1 HEADLIGHT, AND IN CASE THE 2ND HEADLIGHT DEVELOPS AN ISSUE BEING ABLE TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. IF THEY DID NOT USE THE APPROPRIATE PARTS TO FIX MY INITIAL HEADLIGHT REPAIR I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. THE REPAIR HAS BEEN FINE, DONE MARCH OF 2018. NO ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED.

HOWEVER, ON 2/10/2020, DRIVING 35 MPH ON TOWN STREETS, THE CAR WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT TO CONTROL (ALMOST 'LIGHTER'). AFTER MY STOP, I RESTARTED THE CAR, TURNED A CORNER AND FOUND IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY IN MY OWN LANE. EVEN AFTER SLOWING TO 20 MPH AND FIGHTING TO CONTROL THE CAR, IT FELT LIKE THE REAR OF MY CAR WAS DRAGGING ME IN TO THE RIGHT LANE AFTER PARKING, I NOTICED MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS AT AN ANGLE OF ABOUT 30-45 DEGREES FROM THE REST OF THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY REPAIR GARAGE. THEY SHOWED US THE TOE NUT (JAM NUT?) UNDER THE REAR SUSPENSION , HAD APPROXIMATELY 1/2" BEFORE IT COULD CAME OFF COMPLETELY. BEFORE AGREEING TO THE REPAIRS WE CALLED THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP. THEY DID NOT ASK FOR A VIN, BUT INFORMED US THAT THE "RECALL HAD BEEN CLOSED" FOR THIS ITEM SO WE WERE ON OUR OWN FOR REPAIRS.

I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON OR ABOUT JULY 2018 WITH THE MILEAGE BEING 91053. I DID NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT UNTIL ABOUT NOVEMBER 2018. I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT WAS SO DIM. I BOUGHT AND REPLACED BOTH FRONT LOW BEAM BULBS TO NO CHANGE IN SIGHT. FINALLY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CADILLAC ON APRIL 05, 2019 ABOUT REPLACING THE WHOLE UNIT SO I DID. THIS WAS ON APRIL 10 2019. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. ON 09\18\19 I HAD TO GET THE OIL CHANGED. I WENT TO JIFFY LUBE TO HAVE IT DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE, SINCE I ONLY DROVE MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. THE LAST DAY I DROVE IT WAS 03\08\20. I WENT OUT TO RUN TO THE STORE THE NEXT DAY AND BOOM THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THERE WAS NO JUICE IN THE BATTERY AT ALL. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND HAD IT INSTALLED ($200). AFTER JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS I HAD TO GET ANOTHER JUMP TO START IT. ON 03\12\20 I TOOK IT UP TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR, SO I HAD THEM REPLACE IT AT $499.81. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE BATTERY WAS STILL BEING DRAINED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE UP TO CHURCHVILLE SERVICE CENTER (RECOMMENDED BY MY SON IN LAW) AND THEY REPLACED AN ACCESSORY SYSTEM RELAY. THIS ALSO DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM ($296.74) I TOOK IT BACK TO CHURCHVILLE AND HE REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND HAD IT REPROGRAMMED ($725.02) AND REPLACED THE BATTERY FOR POSSIBLE DEFECTED ($296.74). SO AFTER SPENDING $1818.31 THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THE BATTERY LOSE POWER OVER ABOUT TWO DAYS. THERE IS A VERY BAD DEFECT IN ONE OF THE FOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND IT CAN NOT BE FOUND. I NOW ONLY HAVE ABOUT 95,600 MILES. SO IN 2 YEARS I ONLY DROVE 4,547 MILES AND HAVING THIS MUCH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. YES THE CHURCHVILLE MECHANIC PULLED EVERY FUSE TO LOOK FOR ANY DRAW ON THE BATTERY WHEN HE REPLACED THE RELAY SWITCH. I LIVE IN A CONDO SO THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR CONDO LOT AND THE VEHICLE WAS STATION. *TR

Summary

SINCE PURCHASING CAR AS CERTIFIED USED FROM DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY 2020, THE OVERLY DIM LOW BEAMS HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. CAN HARDLY SEE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. I IMMEDIATELY FLAGGED THE PROBLEM, AND DEALERSHIP CHANGED OUT BULBS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. WELL, THE LOW VISIBILITY ULTIMATELY PARTICIPATED IN A RECENT RUN IN WITH A BEAR. CLEAR NIGHT, DRY ROADS, JUST DIMINISHED VISION. I JUST COULD NOT SEE THE MASSIVE, BLACK BODY OF THE ANIMAL CROSSING THE DARK ROAD. IT RESULTED IN $9000 PLUS IN DAMAGES. MIRACULOUSLY, I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THE CRASH, AND INSURANCE COVERED THE CLAIM. NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND I AM BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL, I AM PETRIFIED TO HAVE A RE-OCCURRENCE. GM SHOULD RECALL PERTAINING VEHICLES AND SUCK UP THE COST TO INSTALL HID/LED HOUSING AND BULBS. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT, AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE, GM IS NOT APPROACHING THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS RISK TO SAFETY AND THAT LIVES MAY HAVE TO BE LOST BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN. I WAS LUCKY, THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE. *TR

Summary

THE PROBLEM IS THAT 2010-2015 CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS CAN EVENTUALLY DIM OR BURN OUT WHEN MOISTURE BECOMES TRAPPED IN THEM DUE TO FAULTY SEALS. THIS SEVERELY LIMITS VISIBLE DISTANCE AT NIGHT AND IS VERY DANGEROUS ON TYPICAL TEXAS WINDY ROADS ESPECIALLY IF THEY LACK STREET LIGHTS. SEVERAL STATES, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA, HAVE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST CADILLAC FOR THIS PROBLEM. CADILLAC RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. INSTEAD, AS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX CUSTOMER, I RECEIVED A LETTER IN FEBRUARY NOTIFYING ME THAT THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF I GOT THE WORK DONE AND RETURNED THE CLAIM FORM WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION BY 5/28/2020. I HAD THE WORK DONE ON 5/15 AT A COST OF $1,261.15 AND MAILED MY PAPERWORK FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS. FIRST, DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES.FREQUENTLY, I USED MY BRIGHTS TO SEE A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS COULD BLIND ONCOMING DRIVERS AND CAUSE INJURY TO THEM AS WELL AS CADILLAC CUSTOMERS. SHOCKED THE CAR PASSES STATE INSPECTION, IT IS THAT BAD. RECENTLY I STAYED OVERNIGHT IN A HOTEL IN MISSOURI RATHER THAN DRIVE AT NIGHT THROUGH OKLAHOMA ON DARK, WINDY HIGHWAY 69 BACK HOME TO COLLIN COUNTY. SECOND, CADILLAC NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. A RECALL WOULD NOT REQUIRE AN UPFRONT CUSTOMER CASH OUTLAY. FINALLY, I HAVE READ THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BEING REPLACED WITH PARTS THAT HAVE THE SAME MOISTURE SUSCEPTIBILITY, SO THE DIM HEADLIGHTS PROBLEM CAN EVENTUALLY RETURN. I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH AN IMMEDIATE RECALL, WITH DEFECT FREE PARTS AND WITH NO CUSTOMER CASH OUTLAY, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CAR SAFETY RECALL. IN THE EVENT THE PARTS CANNOT BE SOURCED, CADILLAC SHOULD PROVIDE A COMPARABLE REPLACEMENT LOANER VEHICLE AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

Summary

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS.MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULBS 4TIMES. IT'S COST ME 100.00 EVERY TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS NEW HEADLIGHTS, THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. I CAN'T AFFORD IT. IT'S BECAUSE OF MOISTURE INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT GLASS. WELL AFTER COMPLAINING FOR 3 YEARS I FINALLY GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL SAYING IT'S NOT A RECALL BUT DUE TO MOISTURE INSIDE THE HEADLIGHTS THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME UP TO 800.00 FOR GETTING THEM FIXED. AND IT'S FOR 2010-2015 CADILLAC SRX. I'M ON DISABILITY AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THEM AND WORRY ABOUT GETTING MY MONEY BACK. I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE BRIGHT LIGHTS AND I'VE HAD A FENDER BENDER 1TIME AND ALMOST HAD SEVERAL WRECKS BECAUSE THE OTHER CAR COULDN'T SEE ME. I'M IN DANGER EVERY TIME I HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE AT NIGHT. WHY IS IT NOT A RECALL?AND HOW CAN I GET THEM FIXED.? I CAN'T GET ANYBODY TO HELP ME. THEY WOULDN'T FIX THEM EVEN WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY . I NEED HELP VERY BAD.

Summary

THE POWER LIFTGATE ON MY 2012 CADILLAC SRX DROPPED (CLOSED) ALL BY ITSELF WITH NO WARNING WHILE I WAS PUTTING GROCERIES IN TO THE CARGO STORAGE AREA. IT CAME DOWN VERY HARD HITTING MY NECK AND SHOULDER AND KNOCKED ME TO THE GROUND. I HAD USED THE POWER BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB WHILE STANDING IN THE PARKING LOT NEAR THE BACK OF THE CAR. THE GATE WENT UP NORMALLY BUT JUST AS I BENT OVER TO PUT THINGS IN, THE GATE CAME BACK DOWN ON ME. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALER TODAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN HOPES OF SPARING SOMEONE ELSE FROM MORE SERIOUS INJURY IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO SUBMIT TODAY BUT MAY HAVE AFTER MY DEALER APPOINTMENT WHICH IS 3-17-20.

Summary

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET TO ME. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION FOR A RECALL ON THE CADILLAC SRX 2010-2015 FOR FAULTY HEADLIGHTS. MY HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS HAVE MOISTURE ACCUMULATIONS WHICH DIM MY LIGHTS IN THE DARK. ANOTHER CONCERN IS WHAT IF THE LIGHTS SHORT OUT DUE TO THE MOISTER WITHIN THE HEADLIGHTS WHILE SOMEONE IS DRIVING. THIS IS A CLEAR DANGER THAT GM HAS ALREADY ADMITTED TO WITH THE CADILLAC SRX YEARS 2010-2015. I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THEY WOULD COVER $800.00 PER HEADLIGHT; I MUST PAY THE MONEY UP FRONT AND GET REIMBURSED FROM GM. THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP QUOTED A REPLACEMENT COST OF $3,393.50 THIS MORNING 3/7/2020. THE DEADLINE DATE FOR REPAIRS IS 5/28/2020. I AM ASSUMING THIS IS FROM A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, WHICH FAVORS GM AND LEAVES THE CONSUMERS AND DRIVERS WITH ALL THE RISK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE DRIVING IN POOR CONDITIONS OR IN THE DARK. I DO NOT HAVE CAR CRASH STATISTIC; HOWEVER, THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN THAT SHOULD BE COVERED 100% BY A GM RECALL. NOT EVERYONE CAN PAY FOR THIS UP FRONT AND/OR COVER THE ADDITIONAL UNCOVERED COST. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE PLACED IN DANGER AND/OR LOSS OF LIFE IN A CRASH CAUSED BY THE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE FOR GM TO COVER THE COST 100% AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

Summary

FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, MY BRAKE PEDAL HAD GONE TO FLOOR AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING UNTIL IT WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED RECENTLY. WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN, ABOUT THE LAST 10% OF PEDAL TRAVEL WOULD HAVE SOME LIMITED BRAKING POWER. AFTER THIS ISSUE WOULD OCCUR, IT SOMETIMES TOOK UP TO DAY OR LONGER FOR IT THE PEDAL TRAVEL TO RETURN TO NORMAL. SOME COMBINATION OF REPEATEDLY PUMPING THE PEDAL, STOPPING/STARTING THE ENGINE, AND QUICKLY PRESSING THE PEDAL WHILE STOPPED WOULD EVENTUALLY RESTORE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO NORMAL. AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS SEVERAL TIMES OVER 2 YEARS, I REALIZED IT WAS TRIGGERED AFTER THE ABS SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED ' DURING A HARD/PANIC STOP, SLIDING ON SNOW/ICE, OR BY SOME OTHER DRIVING EVENT THAT BRIEFLY TRIGGERS ABS. FOR EXAMPLE, HAVING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND HEADING DOWN A HILL AT ABOUT 15 MPH TRIGGERED THE ABS (I COULD HEAR THE PUMP AND FEEL THE PEDAL PULSATING) AT THE SAME SPOT ON MY WAY TO WORK EACH MORNING. I LEARNED TO NOT USE MY BRAKE WHILE MAKING THAT TURN ON THAT ROAD EACH MORNING. SOME SRX OWNERS IN FORUMS REPORT PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AFTER A SPEED BUMP ' WHICH I SUSPECT IS ALSO TRIGGERING THE ABS SYSTEM DURING THE 'HOP' OVER THE SPEED BUMP. MY CADILLAC DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM ' AND SAID THEY WOULD JUST BE GUESSING AT THE PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE 'NO CODES' OR ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DASH. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SUSPECTED THAT THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAD AN INTERNAL VALVE/SEAL LEAK/FAILURE. THE THEORY IS THAT ONCE THE ABS ACTIVATES AND DIVERTS FLUID TO THE WHEELS THAT HAVE TRACTION (STILL SPINNING), THE ABS VALVES/CHAMBERS WOULD 'STICK' OPEN. THE TWO AC DELCO PARTS COST ABOUT $450 ON AMAZON PLUS ABOUT $300 LABOR. REPLACING THESE PARTS FIXED MY PROBLEM AFTER 2 YEARS OF EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE CONSISTENTLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER ABS HAD ACTUATED.

Summary

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON A 2012 CADILLAC SRX 4 THAT I JUST PURCHASED ARE TOO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON WHICH CAUSES A HAZARD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT I LITERALLY CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD WITH LOW BEAMS ON WHICH IS VERY LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD SOMEONE PULL RIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF ME, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WERE TOO DIM FOR THEM TO SEE ME COMING. I HAD PEOPLE FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT ME AND ONE PERSON TOLD ME AT A RED LIGHT, THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. I HAD TO GO STRAIGHT HOME AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE. IT IS A STATE LAW IN NC THAT HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE ON WHEN WIPERS ARE BEING USED. IF THE HEADLIGHTS AREN'T VISIBLE IN THE DARK, THEY DEFINITELY WON'T BE VISIBLE IN THE RAIN. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SO DIM THAT IT APPEARS THEY AREN'T ON AT ALL EVEN IN THE DARK. AFTER READING ALL OF THE REPORTS OF THIS, I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THIS HAS NOT BECOME A SAFETY RECALL?!?! IT SEEMS LIKE EXACTLY THE TYPE OF THING THAT A MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT WHEN THEY BECOME AWARE OF IT. THIS IS, APPARENTLY, NOT AT ALL AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE.

BOTH MY CAR'S HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ARE SO DIM, THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN 2010-2015 MODELS. A LAW SUIT WAS WON IN FLORIDA, HOWEVER, THE OUT OUTCOME ONLY REPAIRS CARS IN FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA. IF GM IS GOING TO REPLACE SOME HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES THEN THAT IS ADMITTED GUILT AND SHOULD REPLACE CARDS IN THE OTHER 48 STATES. THERE IS ANOTHER LAW SUIT IN DETROIT, RIGHT NOW. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE NATION! GM KNEW OF THE PROBLEMS FROM 2010 TO 2015, AND DID NOT CORRECT THE DEFECT OF THE SEALING GASKET, OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECT THAT WAS KNOWN ABOUT AND IGNORED. IF YOU WILL LOOK ONLINE ON VARIOUS FORUMS AND BLOGS YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF US THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, NOT TO MENTION VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THE LIGHT DIMMING STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, HOWEVER, JUST IN THE LAST 2 YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT I CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE MY PARKING LIGHTS ON WHEN DRIVING.

Summary

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CADILLAC SRX VEHICLE HAVE BECOME PROGRESSIVELY DIM TO THE POINT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THIS HAS NOT ALLEVIATED THE DEFICIENCY, WHICH RESEARCH HAS DISCLOSED IS A RESULT OF FAULTY HEADLIGHT DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE. GM/CADILLAC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAS EVEN PAID FOR HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT AS A RESULT OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENTS, BUT THESE SETTLEMENTS HAVE BEEN STATE-BY-STATE AND HAVE NOT HELPED A MAJORITY OF OWNERS, INCLUDUNG ME. FLORIDA PURCHASERS RECEIVED HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE. I LIVE IN FLORIDA BUT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN CONNECTICUT AND THEREFORE RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS JUST AS UNSAFE DRIVING IN FLORIDA AS THE ONES GM/CADILLAC PAID TO FIX. THE NIGHT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT OUTPUT IS ABYSMALLY LOW, TO THE POINT THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FROM FOLLOWING CARS PROVIDE MORE ILLUMINATION THAN MY VEHICLE'S OWN HEADLIGHTS. USING HIGH BEAMS IS BENEFICIAL WHEN THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC; HOWEVER, THERE IS VERY OFTEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BECAUSE GM/CADILLAC IS VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS IT, AND BECAUSE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH INSUFFICIENT HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD, I BELIEVE THIS IS EXACTLY THE SITUATION IN WHICH THE NHTSA SHOULD FORCE REMEDIAL ACTION.

MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED TO FIND THIS MODEL HAS FAULTY DRAIN HOSE IN SUNROOF CAUSING WATER TO LEAK INTO VEHICLE RESULTING IN EROSION IN THE ELECTRICAL MODULE CAUSING SHORT OUT YET CADILLAC, OR GM WILL ADMIT. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE. GOOGLE 2012 CADILLAC SRX IT'S DISHEARTENING KNOWING THE PRICE YOU PAID TO GET SCREWED! WHAT NEXT? I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT LIGHTS ON DIM MAY AS WELL BE OFF! NUMEROUS TIMES ALMOST WRECKED TRYING TO SEE. PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY. CALLED JOHNSON MOTOR CO 12/26/19, COULDN'T GET ME IN UNTIL 1/6/20. DROPPED CAR OFF 8AM MONDAY SERVICE TECH AGREED THERE WAS MOISTURE AND FADING OF MY LIGHTS THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE BUT MOST LIKELY I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE. STATED FLA AND CAL WERE THE ONLY STATES A LAWSUIT WAS SETTLED. HOW CAN GM/CADILLAC SETTLE IN 2 STATES AND NOT EVERYONE WHO OWNS THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES? REMEMBER MON MORNING DROPPED MY CAR OFF I RECEIVE A CALL 930 STATING BAD NEWS WE DON'T COVER THIS AND YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT AT MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT(SUNDAY) YOU CAN CALL CADILLAC AND COMPLAIN MOST LIKELY THEY WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? TRIED TO GET MY CAR IN WEEK AND HALF PRIOR AND THIS IS FAULTY DESIGNS THAT HAS TO DO WITH GM/CAD NOT ANYTHING I'VE DONE OR CAUSED FROM AGE.YOU PUSHED ME OUT 2 WEEKS FOR SERVICE. I REACHED OUT TO NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS TRYING TO FIGHT THIS EXPENSIVE ISSUE ONLY TO BE TOLD OVER AND OVER "IM SORRY I UNDERSTAND" NOT TO MENTION THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK, DID NOTHING TO IT, WOULD NOT PUT ME IN A LOANER CAR.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. UPON DIAGNOSIS, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WIRING OR THE BULBS BUT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2010 TO 2015 CADILLAC SRX'S. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE SEAL FAILS AND ALLOWS MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHT WHICH CAUSES A HAZE TO BUILD UP IN THE ENCLOSED LIGHT COVER WHICH IN TURN MAKES THE LIGHTS DIM. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN TELL THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ON ESPECIALLY ON A DARK STREET OR HIGHWAY. WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SPOKE WITH GMC/CADILLAC I FOUND THAT GMC/CADILLAC HAS A RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN TWO STATES ONLY-CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS MORE THAN LIKELY NATIONWIDE. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CADILLAC/GMC FOR THIS DEFECT.

Summary

I PURCHASED MY 2012 CADILLAC SRX4 NEW WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. ONE MONTH AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT THE BRAKES STARTED GOING TO THE FLOOR AND I CAN BARELY STOP THE VEHICLE. SHOULD A CAR PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME OR GOD FORBID A CHILD, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP MY CAR IN TIME TO AVOID AND ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO HUBER CADILLAC IN OMAHA, NE ON 10/14/2019 AS MY BRAKE PEDAL ONCE AGAIN WENT TO THE FLOOR MAKING WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A RUSHING OR AIR SOUND. THIS HAPPENED FOR SEVERAL MILES EVERY TIME I HAD TO COME TO A STOP. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. THEY STATED THAT THEY ALSO DROVE THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SHE, BEV BURGESS, ALSO ADVISED ME THAT SHE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT CADILLAC HAD NO BULLETINS PERTAINING TO ANY BRAKE PEDAL ISSUES. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU READ THE INTERNET AS THERE ARE AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND SEVERAL WHO HAD CAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE ISSUE. SINCE HAVING MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TRYING TO HAVE IT FIXED, THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED THREE MORE TIMES. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLES THAT COULD AND HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS TO NO FAULT OF OUR OWN. I HAVE DONE ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE TO MY VEHICLE AND FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE DONE MY DUE DILIGENT. I CANNOT SAY AS MUCH FOR CADILLAC. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

Summary

AT FIRST, AFTER HAVING TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PETAL WILL SINK TO THE FLOOR ANYTIME THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BRAKE AFTERWARDS.THIS WOULD GO AWAY AFTER 8 HOURS OR SO. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE DOES WHILE DRIVING IF IT GOES OVER A SPEED BUMP, POT HOLE, OR SOMETIMES FOR NO REASON AT ALL. THE PETAL SINKING WHILE BRAKING NOW LAST FOR SEVERAL DAYS UP TO WEEKS. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS ONE DOESN'T KNOW HOW MUCH PRESSURE IS NEED TO STOP AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE WRONG. BRAKES HAVE BEEN BLED, ROTORS AND PADS CHANGED AND THE CAR STILL DOES IT AT RANDOM TIMES.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2012 CADILLAC SRX ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

I CURRENTLY HAVE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS QUOTED $1700 TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES, WHICH I HAVE RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO PAY SINCE I HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

1. LOW BEAMS HEAD LIGHTS VERY WEAK HAD THE LENS BUFFED AND POLISHED BUT THIS ONLY HELP A LITTLE. HAVING TO USE HIGH BEAMS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ON SINGLE AND TWO LANE ROADS. VERY UNSAFE NIGHT DRIVING. 2. REAR TAIL GATE CLOSES AUTOMATICALLY AFTER BEING OPENED FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS, THIS ACTION IS SUBJECT TO CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS USING THE REAR GATE TO STORE OR REMOVE ITEMS FROM VEHICLE. BOTH ISSUES OCCUR WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. I SEE THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THESE SAFETY ISSUES BUT IN MY OPINION THERE SHOULD HAVE. I AM SUBMITTING THIS ON THE BEHALF OF MY DAUGHTER . I ENTERED A DATE BECAUSE THE DIGITAL FORM REQUIRED IT BUT THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, NOT SURE OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THANKS FOR ANY HELP CONCERNING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

HEADLIGHTS WHEN ON DIM ARE SOOOO DIM THAT I HAVE TROUBLE SEEING THE HIGHWAY... CALLED CADILLAC DEALER... INSTRUCTED TO CALL CADILLAC PEOPLE... SAID HE HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND TO CALL CADILLAC TO GET ON A FORMAL COMPLAINT LIST TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR EXPENSE, BUT I HAVE TO FIRST PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS... $125...I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAD LOW MILES AND IT WAS A LITTLE ABOVE MY PRICE RANGE AS I AM A DISABLED GRANDMOTHER AND HAVE TO DRIVE 50 MILES ONE WAY EVERY WEEK TO PICK UP MY GRAND DAUGHTER FOR WEEKEND VISITS... I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MAY AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES TILL NOW BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN LIGHT OUTSIDE WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR... WELL NOW IT IS GETTING DARKER EARLIER AND I ALMOST HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SEEING THE HIGHWAY IN CERTAIN PLACES... I DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE ISSUE AND SEE THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUE... SOME WERE EVEN PULLED BY THE LAW AND NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY FURTHER... I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR WHOMEVER IS IN CHARGE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY CAN ALLOW THIS TO NOT BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CADILLAC OR GM... I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY...BUYING NEW HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE...ITS LIKE THE DIM LIGHTS ARE NOT WIRED CORRECTLY OR ITS GROUNDING OUT...PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THAT THEY HAD THE WHOLE LIGHT SYSTEM REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR SUCH AN EXPENSE NOR SHOULD I BE REQUIRED TO... CADILLAC SHOULD BE ASHAMED...I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CADILLAC FOR THIS VERY REASON... IS THERE NOT ANYTHING YALL CAN DO? SPENT ALL MY MONEY ON A VEHICLE THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE AFTER 5...

HEAVEN HELPED ME WHEN IT RAINED COULD NOT SEE WITH MY LIGHTS SO I HAD TO KEEP UP WITH THE TRAFFIC TO USE OTHER CARS LIGHTS. FRIGHTENING! DOES ANY ONE CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF US WHO ARE DRIVING THESE CADILLAC'S? LIKE OTHERS I EXPERIENCED THE SAME TERROR. WHEN A I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD SEVERAL WARRANTIES DOES NOT COVER THE DIM LIGHTS. OWNERS HAVE TO PAY AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT. A LAWSUIT WAS WON IN APRIL AFFECTING THESE SUVS AND OWNERS WERE ENCOURAGED TO FILE. MY VIN IS NOT ON YGE LIST. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP CHECKING AND TO FILE WITH NHTSA. MY MOST FRIGHTENING NIGHT WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE BESIDES 18 WHEELERS. I COULD NOT SEE AFTER THEY PASSED ON BY AND OTHER TRUCKS WERE APPROACHING ME. SCARED TO DEATH BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO STAY IN MY LANE. 50 MILES WAS TOO LONG TO ENDURE THIS HEADACHE AND I HAVE HYPERTENSION ...BAD COMBINATION. THE LIGHT HAD BEEN GOING DIM FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS SO I THOUGHT I COULD JUST HI AND REPLACE THE BULBS, OH BUT NO THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A HIGH COST SO I CHARGED IT ON MY CREDIT CARD.

Summary

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHTING UPON THE ROAD TO SAFELY NAVIGATE AT NIGHT. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP ANY. I HAVE ALSO INSTALLED A SET OF AFTERMARKET FOG LIGHTS WHICH HELPS A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT SO MUCH WHEN IT IS RAINING OR WHEN ENCOUNTERING GLARING LIGHTS FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ THAT IF YOU BUY AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE LENS ASSEMBLY THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE OF WATER LEAKS INTO THE ASSEMBLY, BUT MINE DON'T LOOK LIKE THERE HAS BEEN ANY MOISTURE INSIDE. THE AVERAGE COSTS OF THAT ENTIRE PART IS OVER $300 EACH. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THAT THE ROUND LENS WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY APPEARS TO BE A MAGNIFYING-TYPE LENS THAT RESEMBLES THE TYPE OF PRIVACY GLASS COMMONLY USED FOR SHOWER DOORS AND WINDOWS. I DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON UNTIL CHALLENGED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT THEN WHEN I RESPOND ACCORDINGLY I MUST COME ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP OR RISK LEAVING THE ROAD ALTOGETHER.

THE BRAKES ARE SPONGY AND WOULD OFTEN TIME NEEDED TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO WORK. VEHICLE HAD BRAKE CHANGED, MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED, AND ALL BRAKE FLUID AND MAINTENANCE COMPLETED, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD OCCURS AGAIN AFTER 2 WEEKS. FURTHER ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWED THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER CADILLAC SRX OWNERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, SOME LED TO SEVERE CRASHES. IT ALL APPEARED TO BE SIMILAR WITH MY PROBLEM WHEREAS THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING, EVEN AFTER IT HAVE BEEN SERVICED. THE PROBLEM OCCUR AT RANDOM BUT ALSO WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS, AND MAKING TURNS.

THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER HOWEVER IT DID THE SAME THING ABOUT A MONTH LATER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE EXACT SAME THING WITH OWNER OTHER OWNERS. SOMEBODY'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY GET KILLED. IM THINKING ABOUT TRADING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THIS VERY REASON AND BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION TAKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER.

I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ONLY MY VEHICLE BUT AFTER READING DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT CADILLAC NEEDS TO ADDRESS ASAP! I CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT TURNING ON HIGH BEAMS WHICH CREATES ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I AM NOT ELDERLY OR SOMEONE WITH VISION PROBLEMS AND WHEN I CANNOT SEE THE WHITE LINES JUST A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME, IT IS RIDICULOUS! I HOPE CADILLAC REALIZES THE LIABILITY OF THIS ISSUE AND THAT IF SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE, THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THERE ARE FAR TO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THEM TO IGNORE THIS! I AM STUCK NOW WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS USELESS IF YOU CANNOT DRIVE IT WHEN YOU WANT!

Summary

THE SRX HAS AN EXTREMELY WELL-KNOWN ISSUE FOR WHICH GM HAS IGNORED. MY CAR IS ONLY SIX YEARS OLD AND THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME SO DIM - I WOULD OFTEN CHECK TO SEE IF THEY WERE EVEN ON. IT GOT SO BAD, THE CAR COULDN'T BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO PAY GM OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE THEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE THAT CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR IS KILLED OR KILLS SOMEONE. I'VE CONTACTED CADILLAC A NUMBER OF TIMES AND I KEEP GETTING CANNED RESPONSES. THE LAST REPLY WAS, "MS. MATCHUS, MOTOR VEHICLE RECALLS ARE RELEASED WHEN THE VEHICLE OR AN ITEM IN THE VEHICLE'S EQUIPMENT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH A FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD; OR WHEN THERE IS A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT. FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS SET MINIMUM PERFORMANCE LEVELS FOR THOSE PARTS OF THE VEHICLE WHICH MAY AFFECT ITS SAFE OPERATION (BRAKES, TIRES, LIGHTING, ETC) OR THOSE WHICH PROTECT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS FROM DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH." I WOULD SAY FOR CERTAIN THAT THE WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH HEADLIGHTS BEING SO DIM THEY APPEAR TO NOT EVEN BE ON WOULD FALL UNDER THE " SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE OR EQUIPMENT." IF THE DEALERSHIP I WENT TO OPENLY SAID THEY HAD ALREADY DONE THREE VEHICLES BEFORE ME FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN THE PAST 48 HOURS, THAT SEEMS LIKE ENOUGH PUSH FOR A RECALL. NOT TO MENTION THE LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE REPORTED THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE ONLINE. PLEASE ADVOCATE FOR A RECALL OF THIS.

Summary

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF A 2012 CADILLAC SRX, PURCHASED I. EARLY NO EMBER 2018. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. THE CAUSE HAS BEEN TRACED TO FAULTY SEALANT AROUND THE FACTORY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH ALLOWS MOISTURE INTO THE CHAMBER, RUINING THE BULBS. I AM FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, BLINDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THUS CREATING A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. THIS HAZARD AFFECTS 2010-2015 MODELS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS POSTED ON THE INTERNET DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM, AND HOW FM AND CADILLAC DENY THE FAULT AND OFFER CUSTOMERS NO WORKABLE SOLUTIONS. LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE PROMPTLY TO CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF THIS HAZARD, AND FORCE FM TO ADDRESS IT PROPERLY. THANK YOU.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING RAN OFF OF ROAD WHILE PASSING AN ONCOMING CAR IN OTHER LANE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE ROAD. ALSO COULD NOT SEE TURN LANE FOR MAKING A LEFT TURN. TRAFFIC BEHIND ME WAS BACKED UP AND THEY BLEW THEIR HORN BECAUSE I WAS NOT IN THE TURN LANE. I COULD NOT SEE THE LINES FOR LEFT TURN LANE BECAUSE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC I COULD NOT USE MY HIGH BEAMS!!!! THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A YEAR OR MORE BUT TONIGHT IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING!!!

WHILE DRIVING OR IN PARK AT NIGHT, UNABLE TO SEE SAFELY WITH LOW BEAMS ON--MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. THERE IS EXCESSIVE MOISTURE INSIDE OF HEADLIGHT WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY SEALED. PAID $700 TO HAVE ONE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL (NOT AFTERMARKET) TWO YEARS AGO AND THE SEAL IS CLEARLY BROKE. HAVE ALSO TRIED REPLACING BULBS. AFTER READING OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA, I CONTACTED CADILLAC TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE MY HEAD LIVES. BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WERE ON WILLING TO WORK WITH ME, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS ON, ONE CANNOT EVEN SEE THE CENTER OR SIDE LINES OF THE ROAD YOU ARE DRIVING.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING AT NIGHT. YOU CANNOT SEE 30 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR ON A DARK ROAD. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO GUARANTEE IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS BOTH GM MECHANICS AND INDEPENDENT. NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS TO ME BUT ALSO TO ONCOMING DRIVERS AS I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS TO SEE WHERE I AM GOING AND CONSEQUENTLY CREATE GLARE FOR THE ONCOMING CARS. I FEEL THAT CADILLAC HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE SAFETY WHEN THEY SELL A PRODUCT. PLEASE RECALL THE CAR AND RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR MORE THAN FOUR MORE YEARS AND DONT WANT TO HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM TO TRY TO WORK AROUND. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FROM NEW IN 2012 AND USE IT EVERYDAY. IT HAS BEEN, AND IS, MAINTAINED BY GM. DEALERS .

Summary

ON 6/25/18, MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH., IN OUR 2012 CADILLAC SRX. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO A SUBDIVISION. BUT, THEN DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT AND PULLED BACK INTO THE LANE OF MY WIFE. SHE SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES, TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, SHE COULDN?T ANTICIPATE THEIR MOVE. SHE HIT THEM FROM BEHIND, GOING 45MPH. SHE HIT HER FOREHEAD ON THE VISOR BAR TWICE, CAUSING A SKULL FRACTURE, BRAIN BLEED, SEVER CONCUSSION, DEEP LACERATIONS, A BURST ARTERY IN HER FOREHEAD TO WHERE SHE WAS BLEEDING HEAVILY AND UNCONSCIOUS. HER CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH BADLY BRUISED HER RIBS, CAUSING A HIATAL HERNIA, DUE TO THE IMPACT. SHE SUFFERED LACERATIONS TO HER LEFT ARM, KNEE AND HAS RUPTURED DISCS IN HER CERVICAL SPINE. SHE WAS ICU FOR SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO THE BRAIN BLEED AND HEAD INJURIES SHE SUSTAINED. OUR AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DIDN?T LOCK ON IMPACT, ALLOWING HER TO BOUNCE UPWARD TWICE AND SUSTAINED THE HEAD INJURIES. THE CADILLAC AIR BAGS AND SEAT LOCKING MECHANISMS FAILED TO PROTECT HER FROM INJURIES SHE SHOULD HAD NEVER HAD. SOMEONE NEEDS TO RESEARCH FURTHER THESE ISSUES FOR THE 2012 SRX SO OTHER CONSUMERS DON?T FEEL SAFE IN A VEHICLE, WHERE THE SAFETY MECHANISMS FAIL. CADILLAC SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. SHOULD THE 2012 SRX HAVE A RECALL ON AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELT LOCKING MECHANISMS FAILING? MORE THAN ONE COMPLAINT HAS BEEN POSTED, SO I HOPE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATES THIS FOR US ALL. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A FORMAL COMPLAINT! THANK YOU, AND PLEASE FOLLOW UP! *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2012. WITHIN A SHORT WHILE, I NOTICED HOW DIM THE HEADLIGHTS WERE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS/IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT AS THESE HEADLIGHTS CAUSE LITTLE TO NO VISIBILITY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IF THEY WERE TO REPLACE THE CURRENT HEADLIGHTS THEY WOULD REPLACED WITH THE SAME FAULTY HEADLIGHTS UNFORTUNATELY. I WAS THEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY ONLY OPTION IS TO SELL THE CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR AND KNOW THAT THE PROPER & FAIR SOLUTION WOULD BE FOR CADILLAC TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE HEADLIGHTS AND REPLACE THEM WITH PROPER, SAFE AND FUNCTIONING HEADLIGHTS.

WHEN PARKED WITH HEADLIGHTS SHINING ON A WALL YOU CAN SEE SOME LIGHT, BUT ON THE ROAD THE LIGHT PRODUCED FEELS VERY UNSAFE. THE ONLY WAY TO USE THE CAR IS WITH THE HIGH-BEAMS TO GET ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY, BUT THIS IS RUDE (AND UNSAFE) FOR OTHER DRIVERS. WE AVOID USING THE CAR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AFTER LOOKING UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CADILLAC HAS NOT ADDRESS.

DIM LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS PERFORMANCE ON MY 2012 CADILLAC SRX. DEALERSHIP SUGGESTIONS IS TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THAT WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THEY HAVE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 80 HEADLIGHTS ASSEMBLIES ON THE MAKE FOR MODEL YEARS 2011-2016. I FIND THIS AN ISSUE WHEN THERE IS NO OUTSIDE DAMAGE TO MY HEADLIGHTS. WHEN I CONTACT A GENERAL MOTORS THEY DON'T HAVE THE DATA TO PROVIDE THE QUANTITATIVE NUMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEARS. DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAM IS THE BEST LIGHT PERFORMANCE BUT BLINDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND DRIVERS.

PURCHASED 2012 CADILLAC SRX ON JUNE 26, 2018 IN MISSISSIPPI. CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF EXTREMELY DIM HEADLIGHTS. SEVERAL SERVICE MANAGERS ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE HEARD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE DIM LIGHTS AND SAFETY CONCERNS. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THE DEALERD WANT THE VEHICLE OWNER TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS, STATING THAT REFLECTIVE FINISH INSIDE THE HOUSING DOES FADE AND STOP PROJECTING THE LIGHT AS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT I CAN BARELY SEE MAYBE 6 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN PASSING ONCOMING LIGHTS FROM VEHICLES 1 OR 2 LANES OVER, MY LIGHTS ARE WASHED OUT AS PITCH DARK(BLINDED). I FEEL VERY UNSAFE BUT NO CAR DEALERSHIP HAS NOT AGREED TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS REALLY A MANUFACTURER MATERIAL DEFECT.

THE FIRST CONCERN WAS DUE TO A LEAK IN THE SUNROOF SHORTING OUT A CIRCUIT BOARD THE TAILGATE OF MY VEHICLE NEARLY SHUT ON MY SON AS HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO REACH IN TO REMOVE AN ITEM FROM THE CARGO SPACE. HE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS CLOSING AND THERE MUST NOT BE A WORKING SAFETY FEATURE BECAUSE IF I HAD NOT SCREAMED IT WOULD HAVE CLOSED ON HIM. SECONDLY, THE HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE STARTED FLICKERING WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ALREADY OVERLY DIM DUE TO A MOISTURE PROBLEM, BUT NOW THEY FLICKER AND WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS ALSO GO OUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING. YOU CAN HEAR WATER SLOSHING INSIDE THE CAR AND YOU CAN HEAR THE ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ALSO. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR MY SON BUT HE CANNOT DRIVE IT DUE TO SO MANY SAFETY ISSUES. I CALLED GM AND THEY BASICALLY BLEW ME OFF LIKE SO MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. I SPOKE WITH 2 REPS OVER THE PHONE AND TRIED THE LIVE CHAT FEATURE. ALL 3 REPS SAID TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER AND PAY HUNDREDS FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TO BE RUN AND ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE OTHER UPSET CUSTOMERS I AM LOOKING AT HAVING THOUSAND IN REPAIRS. GM KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND CORRECTED IT IN NEWER MODELS. THEY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY.

Summary

HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY ON MY 2012 CADILLAC SRX SEEM TO ALLOW WATER IN , IT HAS CAUSED MOISTER IN AND ON THE LENS AND BURNED OUT THE LOW BEAM LIGHT BULB. THERE ARE ONLY 78K MILES AND NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT. FROM MY INTERNET SEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL YEARS OF THE SRX. MY WIFE RECEIVED THE DASHBOARD WARNING FOR THIS WHEN SHE GOT IN THE CAR LEAVING WORK. SHE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE 42 MILES HOME WITH THE HEADLIGHT OUT. DANGEROUS AND COULD CERTAINLY LEAD TO A TRAFFIC TICKET OR WORSE.

HE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT QUIT WORKING ON MY 2010 SRX LAST WEEK. THERE'S A LOT OF CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER TOLD ME THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST HAVE BEEN BUMPED AND THE SEAL COMPROMISED. THE COST TO FIX IT IS $1,250 PLUS 2 HOURS LABOR AND TAX. THE CAR IS WITHIN THE TIME WARRANTY BUT OUTSIDE THE MILEAGE WARRANTY. HE WAS VERY CLEAR THAT GM WOULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I GUESS GM TRAINS THEIR DEALERS TO BLAME ALL PRODUCTS THAT PROVE DEFECTIVE AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES ON THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS IS MY THIRD CADILLAC AND I'VE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THAN THE OTHER TWO COMBINED.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO CITY TRAFFIC WHEN THE BRAKES IN MY 2012 CADILLAC SRX FAILED. I ENDED UP REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. WHEN WE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THERE WERE NO PHYSICAL INJURIES AS I WAS MAYBE GOING 2 OR 3 MPH. WE EXCHANGED INSURANCE INFORMATION. I NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE OF THE CLAIM AS WELL. I HAD BOUGHT MY DAUGHTER A 2010 CADILLAC SRX WHEN I BOUGHT MINE AND 6 WEEKS AGO SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BRAKE FAILURE BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET HER CAR TO STOP. WE TOOK HER CAR TO ST. CLAIRE CADILLAC IN SANTA CLARA AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND NO ERROR CODES WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE ON BOARD COMPUTER. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE INCIDENCES OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH CADILLAC SRX MODELS BUT CADILLAC WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM HAS RESULTED IN ANY DEATHS IF SO THE DRIVER MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. CADILLAC NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL BE SELLING MY SRX AND BUYING A TOYOTA.

I REPORTED TO TONIA GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT ASSISTANCE CLAIMS; CONCENTRIX ON BEHALF OF GENERAL MOTORS PHONE: 866-446-6963 X 5921511; THEY INVESTIGATED, AND "DETERMINED NO WARRANTY DEFECT". HOW MANY SACRIFICIAL LAMBS BEFORE A RECALL? IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT - WATER DRAINS INTO 2 COMPARTMENTS FROM SUNROOF INTO DRAINING COMPARTMENTS IN THE REAR OF CAR AT LIFT GATE, TRAPPING MOISTURE WHICH BURNS OUT AND CORRODES LIFT GATE AND BLUETOOTH MODULES. MY SUNROOF STILL WORKS, BUT NOT THE LIFT GATE OF BLUETOOTH. NOTHING IN MAINTENANCE MANUAL OTHER THAN IN "FEATURES" TO CLEAN SUNROOF. OR IT MAY NOT WORK.

Summary

PURCHASED 2012 CADILLAC SRX ON SEPTEMBER 26TH 2017. CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF EXTREMELY DIM HEADLIGHTS. SEWELL VILLAGE CADILLAC IN DALLAS TX, SALES AND FINANCE MANAGERS ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE HEARD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE DIM LIGHTS AND SAFETY CONCERNS. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THE DEALER WANTS THE VEHICLE OWNER TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS, STATING THAT REFLECTIVE FINISH INSIDE THE HOUSING DOES FADE AND STOP PROJECTING THE LIGHT AS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT I CAN BARELY SEE MAYBE 30 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN PASSING ONCOMING LIGHTS FROM VEHICLES 1 OR 2 LANES OVER, MY LIGHTS ARE WASHED OUT AS PITCH DARK(BLINDED). I FEEL VERY UNSAFE BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP HAS NOT AGREED TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS REALLY A MANUFACTURER MATERIAL DEFECT. YOU CAN REACH ME AT [XXX] IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

HOWEVER IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER SPEAKING WITH OTHER CERTIFIED MECHANICS THAT HID'S DO NOT JUST BURN OUT SO THERE HAS TO BE OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MAKER. ALSO AT INTERIMS AFTER I TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHICH CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS AND TRY AGAIN. AFTER BRINGING THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE COMPUTER TRYING TO KEEP UP AND THIS IS WHAT MAY CREATE THIS ISSUE WHICH IS DEFINITELY POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

WHEN WE GOT HOME I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD MOISTURE IN IT AND THE LIGHT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEAL FOR REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT I MAY WANT TO REPLACE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE MOISTURE IN THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE LIGHT COULD FAIL AGAIN IF THE ASSEMBLY ISN'T REPLACED. I ASKED IF THE PROBLEM WAS A KNOW ISSUE; THE SERVICE MANAGER SAY IT HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN. I TOLD HER TO ORDER THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE SRX THAT GOES BACK TO 2010 SRXS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING BOTH HEADS IN AN INOPPORTUNE TIME AND CADILLAC SHOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. 95 PROBLEMS REPORTED; NO DEATHS YET.

THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THE LIFTGATE TO GO OUT AND IT WILL NOT OPEN EVEN MANUALLY. IT SATURATES THE FLOOR AND IS CAUSING MOLD TO GROW UNDERNEATH THE CARPET WHICH I WOULD THINK IS A HEALTH RISK ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS LIKE ME WHO HAVE A CHILD WITH ASTHMA. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR I WASH MY CAR. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR.

I PUSHED THE SELECTOR LEVER INTO NEUTRAL AND THE CAR STOPPED LURCHING FORWARD AND THE RPMS RETURNED TO NORMAL. I PUT CAR BACK INTO DRIVE AFTER PAYING TOLL AND PROCEEDED FORWARD TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND STOP AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I PROCEEDED HOME AND WHEN I ARRIVED AND PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER SLIGHTLY AND WHEN I COMPLETELY STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE I JUST HELD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND THE CAR ATTEMPT TO GO FORWARD BUT STALLED WITHIN SECONDS. I ATTEMTPTED TO START THE CAR BACK UP BUT IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS OF PRESSING THE BUTTON BEFORE THE CAR FIRED BACK UP.

Summary

I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AND NEEDED TO CROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I GOT TO THE SECOND LANE AND STARTED TO MOVE INTO THE THIRD LANE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, IT WAS AS IF I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE CAR BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO BRAKE LIGHTS, SINCE I WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, YET THE CAR BEHAVED AS IF I HAD HIT THE BRAKES. THIS IS THE 3RD NEAR MISS DUE TO THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS OCCASIONALLY FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, BUT IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW AND I FEAR AN ACCIDENT IS INEVITABLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT, SINCE I COULDN'T MAKE IT HAPPEN ON DEMAND, THEY TOOK NO ACTION. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES APPEARING. IN THAT CASE, I DON'T SEE WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKES IF I CAN REPRODUCE IT FOR A TECH OR NOT. IF THERE ARE NO CODES APPEARING THEN MY THOROUGH DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT BECAUSE THE TECH IS NOT GOING TO GET ANY FURTHER INFORMATION OTHER THAN EXPERIENCING THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHERS REPORTING THIS BEHAVIOR ON CADILLACFORUMS.COM, AND THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL FOR THE 2013 SRX FOR THIS BEHAVIOR. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING ANOTHER LANE. SOMETIMES THE CAR BUCKS AND JERKS BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES, OTHER TIMES IT JUST ACTS LIKE I HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOWS DOWN, BUT EVENTUALLY IT ACCELERATES AND RETURNS TO NORMAL BEHAVIOR. VERY DISCONCERTING. *TR

LOSS OF POWER. TWO MONTHS AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED THIS NEW SRX, MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 77 IN NORTH CAROLINA AT 65 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR HAD NO POWER. I WAS IN THE LEFT OF TWO LANES AND WAS ABLE TO STEER AND BRAKE INTO THE MEDIAN WHICH WAS DIVIDED BY A CONCRETE BARRIER FROM THE NORTH BOUND TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN PUSHED HARDER AND HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THERE WAS NO SOUND, NO POWER. GM OFFERED TO TOW US TO THE NEAREST DEALER, BUT NO ONE WAS OPEN BECAUSE IT WAS SUNDAY. SO WE DECIDED TO TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. I PUSHED THE BRAKE AND IGNITION AND IT STARTED. I SLOWLY MOVED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATED. THE CAR WORKED. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION, I TOOK IT TO A CADILLAC DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY CODES STORED AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN EARLY IN 2014, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THIS TIME AS I CAME TO A STOP--NO POWER, CAR RESTARTED, NO CODES, COULD NOT DUPLICATE.

LATE IN THE FIRST YEAR AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR WE NOTICED FROM THE BACK HOW LOW THE FUEL TANK EXTENDED TOWARD THE GROUND. WE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF THIS UNTIL THIS YEAR WE NOTICED A DENT ON THE TANK. I CHECKED THE NEW SRXS AT THE DEALER AND FOUND THE NEWER MODELS HAD MUCH MORE GROUND CLEARANCE ON THE TANK. WE THOUGHT THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME PROBLEMS AND THEY HAD CHANGED THE TANK CLEARANCE TO CORRECT THIS. I HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SEE IF A CORRECTION CAN BE MADE ON MY CAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR A FIRE WITH THE TANK IF YOU BACKED OVER A HIGH CURB WITH THE TANK EXTENDING PAST THE BACK WHEELS TOWARD THE REAR BUMPER. *TR

AS SHE LEANED IN THE BACK CARGO SPACE TO PULL OUT HER BACK PACK AND LUNCH BOX THE CARGODOOR STARTED TO CLOSE ON ITS OWN ON MY DAUGHTER . NEITHER OF US HAD PRESSED THE BUTTON . I WAS UNAWARE AT FIRST AS I WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT FACING FORWARD , I HEARD HER SCREAM AND WAS WATCHING IN HORROR AS SHE WAS BEING CRUSHED BY THE DOOR BETWEEN THE DOOR AND HER BAG AND THE CARGO COMPARTMENT . I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DOOR DID NOT TREVERSEAND WAS UNSURE IN THAT SPLIT SECOND IF I PRESSED THE BUTTON WOULD IT REVERSE THE DOOR OR CRUSH HER FURTHER . I ALSO WAS UNAWARE IF I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR, RUN TO THE BACK . TO TRY TO PULL THE DOOR UP . THIS CAME CLOSE TO BEING A CATASTROPHE. IF MY DAUGHTER WAS SMALLER OR YOUNGER OR IN A DIFFERENT POSITION . SHE IS BRUISED AND I AM REALLY CONCERNED A CAR IS ON THEMARKET LIKE THIS .

Summary

WHEN I WAS LOADING ITEMS INTO THE REAR OF MY CAR, THE CLOSE BUTTON WAS ACCIDENTLY HIT, THE HATCH CAME DOWN AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD AND MY ARM. IT DID NOT STOP AND REVERSE, I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I TRIED IT AGAIN, AND WHEN I PUT MY ARM OUT TO STOP THE HATCH TO SEE IF IT WOULD REVERSE, IT PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE ON MY ARMS THAT THEY BECAME BLACK AND BLUE. I AM CONCERNED THAT WHAT IF THIS WAS A CHILD, IF IT NEEDS THAT MUCH PRESSURE TO STOP AND REVERSE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO A CHILD. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THAT, THAT IS HOW MUCH PRESSURE IS NEEDED TO STOP., I HAD A 2010 SRX, AND IT DID NOT NEED THAT MUCH PRESSURE TO STOP. AS SOON AS THE HATCH HIT SOMETHING, IT STOPPED AND RESERVED BACK UP. I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND CAN THE HATCH BE ADJUSTED. *TT
