I NOTICED THE DIM LIGHTING ON LOW NEAM AND TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. I HAD HIM REPLACE THE BULBS. THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE BULBS AND ONLY HELPED MINIMALLY. I THE WENT TO CADIILAC DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE LIGHTING HARNESSES. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY CASES AND THE DEALER HAS MANY OF THE CASES DOCUMENTED. IN FACT, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT SERVICE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CASE #

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON CONTINUOUSLY AT NIGHT. WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC SIGNALS ME BY BLINDING ME, I SWITCH TO DIMS AND HAVE TO GUESS AT WHERE THE ROAD IS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN WHILE STILL UNDER BASIC WARRANTY. PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. I EVEN PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NO HELP THERE EITHER. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT. NO WAY I CAN LET MY KIDS USE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT IS EXTREMELY DIM. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACE BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS. BOTH SIDES REMAINED DIM , BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE BARELY SHOWS UP AGAINST THE WALL. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DO ANY MORE INVESTIGATION AND SAID THAT THE CADILLAC SRX IS NOTORIOUS FOR DIM HEADLIGHTS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE HER OWN CAR AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF RUNNING OFF THE ROAD

SEAT BELTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO PUT ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT, IT WOULD NOT LATCH. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FAILURE WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. THE DEALER (CREST CADILLAC, 2121 ROSA L PARKS BLVD, NASHVILLE, TN 37228) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF THE REPAIR COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND AGREED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
THE SEAT WARMER IN MY VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED A FIRE IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT. I WAS NOT DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I USED THE AUTO START FEATURE TO TURN ON THE CAR SO I COULD CLEAR THE SNOW FROM MY CAR. WHEN I GOT IN MY VEHICLE, I SAT DOWN AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS MY SEAT THAT WAS ON FIRE.I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BY PATTING THE FLAMES WITH MY GLOVED HANDS BEFORE THE FIRE GOT OUT OF CONTROL. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATE OFFICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS CONCLUDED THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGES NOR WILL THEY ISSUE A RECALL OR WARNING TO OTHER CONSUMERS OF THIS DEFECT. SINCE THIS HAPPENED TO ME I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE OTHER VICTIMS OF THE SAME ISSUE. IN INDIANA, ANOTHER FAMILY HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM AND LIKE ME CADILLAC GENERAL MOTORS IS NOT TAKING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY. I BELIEVE THAT CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE MADE AWARE OF THIS RISK AND SHOULD CADILLAC ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALLOWING THESE TRAGIC SITUATIONS TO CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT INJURED. SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NOTICE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WERE HORRIBLE AT NIGHT. CHECK EVERYTHING AND NOTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH REFLECTOR. TODAY TOOK THE SRX TO CADILLAC DEALER AS PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRENTY. DEALER NOTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT WARRENTY WOULD NOT COVER REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY AS NEEDED. WAS ADVISED THE COST TO REPLACE THE PAIR WOULD BE 1700.00 NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT HAVE THE WORK DONE. IT IS AN EXTREME NIGHT TIME DRIVING HAZARD AND A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.

LOW BEAMS ON HEADLIGHTS PROVIDE EXTREMELY POOR ILLUMINATION PRODUCING BARELY 10-15' BARELY LIT ROADWAY. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM BY VISUAL OBSERVATION BUT SAYS 'COMPUTER' SAYS ACCEPTABLE. CHECKED INTERNET AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON 2013 AND 2014 MODELS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON DARK ROADS WITH LITTLE OR NO STREET LIGHTING. HELP

IN MANY WEBSITES, PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THAT CADILLACS SRX IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT NIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A VERY POOR HEADLIGHT LIGHTING. THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM; THE DRIVER CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD. I JUST SPENT $70.00 REPLACING THE BULBS FOR BRIGHTER BULBS, AND IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. IT SEEMED LIKE THE CAR IS RUNNING ON DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS AT NIGHT. THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE REVIEW HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE ON THIS WEBSITE; HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/CADILLAC/SRX/2010/

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CADILLAC CUE TOUCHSCREEN IS INOPERABLE. VEHICLE HAS 31,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ACCORDING TO WEB SEARCHES, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CUE. THE TOUCHSCREEN IS NON-RESPONSIVE TO TOUCH INTERFACE FOR VARIOUS AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS WHICH COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. SUCH AS DEFOGGING OR DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD. SYSTEMS SUCH AS NAVIGATION, INTERIOR CLIMATE CONTROL, MEDIA CONTROLS, BLUETOOTH CONTROLS, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC CONTROLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY $2500 (CADILLAC QUOTE) TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ITEM FOR THE YEAR MODEL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
A DIM HEADLIGHT ISSUE EXISTS WITH THE SRX. A CADILLAC SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME PART OF THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LENS AND AN OVAL PART OF THE LENS GETS CLOUDED AND DOESN'T PROJECT LIGHT CORRECTLY. THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHEN POSSIBLE TO SEE. USING THE HIGH BEAMS CAN IMPAIR THE VISION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, SO I HAVE TO USE THEM CAUTIOUSLY. THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2011 AND GM HAS NOT INFORMED THE OWNERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CADILLAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND TO REQUEST HELP IN GETTING THIS ISSUE RECTIFIED. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF $1600 TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMERS. GM SHOULD BE CONCERNED THAT THIS DEFECT INCREASES THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THESE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS, I AM REQUESTING INTERVENTION AND ASSISTANCE FOR ME AND OTHER OWNERS OF THE SRX TO GET OUR VEHICLES REPAIRED EITHER FREE OF CHARGE OR AT A REASONABLE PRICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOUR AGENCY SOON.

IN 2016 THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM. THE BEAMS BECAME SO BAD IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE HEADLAMP HOUSING BUBBLED CAUSING IT TO OBSTRUCT THE BEAM. IN OUR CASE IT WAS LIKE AN UPPER EYELID CLOSING OVER THE EYE. THE HEADLAMPS HAD TO BE REPLACED.

OUR LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE DIM. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY 2015, THEN LEFT THE AREA. WE TOOK IT IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE THREE MONTHS LATER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THEM. WE WERE UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FOR 50,000 MILES. WE WERE TOLD THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. WE TOOK IT IN TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS AS WE TRAVELED AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. AFTER 9 DIFFERENT TIMES OVER 2 1/2 YEARS, WE FINALLY INSISTED THEY BE CHECKED, AFTER OUR WARRANTY HAD RECENTLY EXPIRED. THEN THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAULT WITH THE LAMPS AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF $1,100. WE CONTACTED GM WITH OUR COMPLAINT. THE BEST THEY WILL DO IS INSTALL THEM FOR FREE, BUT WE HAVE TO PAY OVER $800 FOR NEW LAMPS. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTING BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MANY. WE LITERALLY CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT OR BEFORE DAYLIGHT WITHOUT USING OUR HIGH BEAMS. WE NOW WILL REPLACE THEM OURSELVES WITH AFTER MARKET PARTS BUT THAT'S NOT A GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WE SAW A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE. WHAT MAKES US ANGRY IS THAT WE WERE LITERALLY BLOWN OFF WITH OUR COMPLAINT 9 TIMES AT VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS (ATTACHMENT HAS ALL THESE DOCUMENTED) BEFORE A DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD JUST DIAGNOSED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER CUSTOMER AFTER SHE INSISTED THE SERVICE ADVISOR DRIVE IT HOME ONE NIGHT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT. WE ASSURE YOU, CADILLAC IS AWARE OF IT. THERE ARE A LOT OF US DRIVING UNSAFELY. WE TRY TO AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT OR DUSK BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN DIM FROM THE TIME WE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT HAVE BECOME DIMMER OVER THE PAST MONTHS. IT IS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT ON A WELL LIT STREET AND JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE ON A DARK NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. I FEEL THE NEED TO DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME NOW.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. TWO VEHICLES HAVE ALMOST HIT ME DUE TO THE LAG IN ACCERLATION. I'VE SPOKEN WITH MY DEALERSHIP SEVERAL OF TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY DO NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY SUV AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS STATING IT WAS FIXED PROPERLY. I CURRENTLY GO THROUGH 13 MILES PER GALLON WHICH IS NOT NORMAL.
