EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The seal used in the headlight housing is of cheap quality. It rained yesterday and both the headlights of my car were filled with moisture. The car has never been in an accident not there are any dents or broken parts around the headlight housing that will cause this issue. The headlights stopped working and it became hazardous driving condition. This has been a common problem in this year and generation of SRX but my vehicle didn’t have any recalls but yet I’m facing this problem

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS SINCE THE DAY IT FIRST RAINED AND I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. NOW THE LIGHTS HAVE DIMMED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND FLICKER AS I DRIVE AT NIGHT CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. I HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS BULBS AND FUSES TO NO AVAIL. THE SEATS ACT WEIRD WHEN YOU SET THEM FOR YOURSELF OR ANOTHER DRIVER. THE WIPERS BARLEY WORK ITS LIKE DRIVING TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
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.
