EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLIGHTS FILL WITH CONDENSATION AND WATER. HAVE READ ON THE CADILLAC FORUMS THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES ON CADILLAC SRX 2010- 2014 ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST NITE DRIVING IN RAIN ME RIGHT HEADLIGHT SHORTED OUT BECAUSE OF WATER INSIDE THE HEADLITE.I WENT OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I COULDNT SEE IF A TREE HAD BEEN THERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I IN FORMED CADILLAC ANOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTING THEY COULD DOMY CAR HAS 56,670 MILES I BOUGHT IT WITH 52,300 MILES SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED .THESES LIGHT COST 1200.00 DOLLARS WHICH IS WHY CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL THEM FOR SAFETY.I WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH.WENT OF THE ROSD INTO A FIELD NO DAMAGE TO CAR OR PROPERTY BUT WHEN YOUR LITES FAIL AT NITE IN RAIN ITS EASY TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS FILL WITH WATER AND THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO WORK STRANGELY. CURRENTLY, MY LEFT HEADLIGHT WORKS BUT NOT THE TURN SIGNAL OR DAY BEAMS. THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT IS OUT BUT THE TURN SIGNAL AND DAY BEAM WORK. I TOOK IT TO A CADILLAC DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY'VE SEEN THIS ISSUE FREQUENTLY. GM DOES NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN FIXING THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $3,000 FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED THE CAR TRACKING SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS IN THE MEDIUM OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE MORE I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN AT A STOP SIGN GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE OR NOT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME AND I AM WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS NOT COOLING PROPERLY. PASSENGER SIDE IS SOMEWHAT BLOWING COOL AIR AND DRIVER'S SIDE IS BLOWING HOT AIR. THIS IS THE EXACT SITUATION THAT RESULTED IN A RECALL OF 2011 CADILLAC SRX. HOWEVER, THIS CADILLAC SRX WAS NOT INITIALLY INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND HAS NOT BEEN TO-DATE. THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IS 11057; FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 103. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN THE DEFROST MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT IS OBVIOUS FROM OUR RESEARCH THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS IT IS THE EXACT SAME SITUATION AS THOSE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. WE HAVE CONTACTED GMC ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE RECALLS ARE VERY SPECIFIC. WE HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN THIS SITUATION BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SELLING DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THIS IS A GMC SITUATION, NOT A DEALERSHIP PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER ONLY RECALLS CERTAIN VEHICLES IN A GIVEN YEAR WITH A SITUATION AND LEAVES THE OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL ON THE ROAD THAT THEY ARBITRARILY DECIDE NOT TO RECALL THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPEN TWICE AND I WAS ALMOST IN A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT (KILLED). BOTH INCIDENTS I PULLED OUT OF A DRIVE WAY TURN LEFT THE 1ST TIME AND RIGHT THE OTHER AND MY BRAKES LOCKED UP ON ME AND THE SYSTEM STABILITY SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM APPEARED ON THE DASH, ONCOMING CARS APPROACH THE CAR AND I WAS ALMOST HIT WITH KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME; I HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND RESTART. CADILLAC NEEDS TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES DEATH. I AM MAKING THIS COMMENT BECAUSE IF I HAVE A FATAL ACCIDENT I WILL MAKE SURE MY FAMILY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICE MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. IF CADILLAC FAILS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE BLOOD WILL BE ON THEIR HANDS. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR STARTED RATTLEING WHEN FIRST STARTING. SHORTLY AFTER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH ALL THE TIME THEN. BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN. SUPER EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND PER. FORUMS LOOKS LIKE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE 2006 SRX HAD THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. NOTHING BUT CONSTANT REPAIR BILLS WITH THIS CROSSOVER. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD BREAK AT ANY TIME FROM BEING LOOSE. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED.

I HAVE BEEN HEARING A RATTLE(FRONT END) FOR 2 YEARS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND INSPECTED BY JACKING UP CAR AND VISUALLY INSPECTING. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK TO THE RIGHT AND WANT TO GO TO ANOTHER LANE AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON. I FOUND A INCH AND A HALF GAP IN FRAME THAT IS RUSTED AND WAS NEVER WELDED. THE GAP IS UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL UNDER CAR. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME DUE TO METAL FATIGUE AND RUST. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE AREA . THE FRAME COULD BREAK DUE TO THIS AND MAKES THE VEHICLE A SAFETY HAZARD. I DO FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND THE IDEA OF OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT AS I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUNDS OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. I ALSO DO NOT FEEL SAFE SELLING THIS CAR AS IT IS A DANGER ON THE ROAD. PLEASE ME CONTACT ME BY EMAIL. THANK YOU *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, 8/6/15, MY 2 WEEK OLD 2015 CADILLAC SRX (650 MILEAGE) SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CONTINUED TO DO SO WHILE I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, REPEATEDLY. MY WIFE AND I COULD SMELL THE BRAKE PADS AS IF THEY WERE "BURNING" FROM THE PRESSURE I APPLIED BUT THE SRX WOULD NOT STOP. WHENEVER I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. I PULLED OVER INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. WE WERE TRAUMATIZED AS OUR GRANDCHILD WAS IN THE VEHICLE . THE SRX HAS BEEN IN THE CADILLAC SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE PAST TWO WEEKS AS THEY TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE COMPUTER DID NOT REPORT ANY PROBLEM AND TEST DRIVES WOULD NOT DUPLICATE THE OCCURRENCE FOR THE SERVICEMAN.
