EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights are leaking and allowing moisture to enter into the headlight assembly. In turn, this is causing headlights to rust and fail early. Additionally, they fail without warning, thus potentially leaving the driver in the dark. Very serious safety issue. Dealer contacted and stated they were, at one time, reimbursing car owners, however they are not doing so now. Cadillac states that since my car was purchased in Florida, they would have taken care of the issue, but they are no longer doing reimbursing customers for repairs needed to make the car safe to drive.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Low beam headlights have become exceedingly dim. This car is available for inspection. Poor visibility at night is a safety risk. This problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I am not now driving the car at night. The car has not been inspected by others. I plan on consulting the dealer shortly. No warning messages now or prior to noticing the problem. First noticed in late June, 2022.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, AIR BAGS
Immediately Upon picking my 2011 Cadillac SRX up from Don Thornton Cadillac for Recall on the Rear Toe Link, I had more problems with my car than when I dropped it off.I immediately called and let them know my car would not accelerate,I still had something wrong with my battery, I had warning lights on my display that were safety issues,such as SERVICE AIRBAG,SEATBELT,service stabilitrak,service rear axle,service traction control,service park assist,service suspension,"battery saver mode",service brakesThey told me it would cost me $50 to have it towed,whatever the cost for them to diagnose,the cost to fix whatever was wrong.The General Manager told me that the problems with my car when I brought it in:(issues related to the Rear Toe Link Recall)IE:service stabilitrak,service traction control, service rear axle,swaying in the back.Something was wrong with my battery and powersteering.I took it to another GM certified dealer, and"the ground was burnt and melted the rear fuse box,the ground to the fuse box was fried." The "pre-invoice" I received when picking my car up from Don Thornton Cadillac said "performed wire repair to ground wire".I paid $1,178.24 for faulty repairs. After finding out that the work they performed, was not fixed at all, the right rear wheel hub was loose, the melted wires going from the back up to the front wires, I am now without a car.COMPLETELY. Don Thornton Cadillac is not taking responsibility what so ever for the problems, SAFETY ISSUES, that I had when I picked up my car,and certainly did not have when I dropped it off.Please help!I do not know what to do.I am now without a car.It was by the grace of god,that I actually wasn't able to drive my car.I could have had my 3 grandchildren,or my 2 elderly aunts(81&76)that I am responsible to take them to their doctors appointments,or son in the car if something tragic could have happened by the right rear wheel hub coming off while driving and they were in the car!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My CUE screen is cracked and unresponsive. I went to the dealership and they said it was out of warranty and they would not repair item. From looking online the CUE system is defective and has affected many Cadillac cars. I am very disappointed with GM. I had the top model and it should not have cracked. They have known about the problem for years and chose to ignore it. I am leery of buying another Cadillac since they do not care about their customers.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The SRX is known to have issues with the headlight assemblies. I even received a letter from Cadillac that informed me that moisture may get into the assemblies, which causes them to fail. The moisture shorts out the assembly which greatly dims the bulb. On one particular night in Michigan, I had to drive with my high beams on just to be able to see the road. I had just replaced the bulbs so they were brand new, but I had zero visibility. I have reached out to Cadillac regarding this issue, but they do not feel that it warrants a recall. Currently I have replaced both assemblies and bulbs for my own safety. Cadillac has verbally stated to me that it is not a safety concern. I'm pretty sure if you can't see the road at night, that would be considered a major safety concern.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
Service rear axle message is displayed on the driver information center. The code indicates AWD has been turned off which can put my safety and or safety of others at risk. Service Bulletin (PI0703B) was issued for numerous 2010 Cadillac SRX, unfortunately the recall wasn't issued for my vehicle (VIN). The service bulletin was for DTC c0407 with symptom code 64, the exact same code that was found with my vehicle.

SUSPENSION, TIRES
We had our vehicle recalled for links in the rear suspension some weeks ago. Saturday 6/4/22 we were going south on hwy 19 south of Tavares Florida at 45 to 50 MPH in a light rain. We went thru a light puddle in the road twitched. Didn't feel like anything I had experienced before. A couple of blocks further on the back of the car veered back and forth significantly and I thought i had blown a tire, all tires were hard. We returned the car home gingerly and completed our trip with our daughters car, When we got home i got under the car to see if I could find anything bent or broken, I was astonished to find both back tires bald and thru 2 layers of cord halfway across the inside face of each. The car has 48609 total miles. The tires have about 22000 on them. The car has been dealer serviced , on schedule including tire rotation.
