UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS ON AN INCLINE (DRIVEWAY) AT A RESTAURANT WHEN MY VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IN DRIVE ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. I NOTICED IT DOING THE SAME THING IN DRIVEWAYS WITH A SLOPE AND APPROACHING LIGHTS WITH HILLS. WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ON A SLOPE, SUCH AS A HIGHWAY RAMP THE TRUCK ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE SAYING THEIR VEHICLE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL DOING THE SAME THING. DURING THE RESTAURANT INCIDENT THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME WAS SO IRATE THINKING I WAS JUST BACKING UP ON THEM. IT REMINDED ME OF HAVING A VEHICLE WITH A STICK SHIFT WHEN REMOVING YOUR FEET OFF OF THE BRAKE TO PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT GOING IN REVERSE INSTEAD OF GOING FORWARDS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE CONDENSATION AND ARE VERY DIM. THEREFORE, AT NIGHT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DUE TO THE DIMNESS. NOW, CADILLAC WANTS ME TO PAY UPFRONT FOR THE REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDES A DIAGNOSTIC TO BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED CADILLAC TECHNICIAN. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HAVING CADILLAC DOING THE WORK BUT, I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY UPFRONT. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BOTH RETIRED AND ON A FIXED INCOME SO $1,500 IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR A PROBLEM THAT CADILLAC KNEW ABOUT FROM THE BEGINNING.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES RANDOMLY FAIL. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, IT WILL BE SPONGY AND THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT FULLY STOPPING THE CAR. IF THE BRAKES ARE PUMPED, THEY USUALLY RETURN TO NORMAL. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND AFTER SPEAKING TO CADILLAC, MY IMPRESSION IS THAT THEY ARE NOT PROACTIVELY TRYING TO SOLVE THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DESIGN FLAW.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
(1) REAR HATCH CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY, SENSOR SHORTED OUT DUE TO DESIGN FLAW ALLOWING WATER TO COME IN CONTACT WITH SENSOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE.NO WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR. NO SAFETY RELEASE. (2) HEADLIGHTS POOR DESIGN , CONDENSATION BEHIND FRONT HEADLIGHTS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. (3) SUNROOF DRAIN LINE TOO SHORT, DESIGN ISSUE. WATER COLLECTS FROM ROOF DRAIN AND LEAKS INTO PASSENGER FLOOR. WHEN THIS LINE BECOMES DISLODGED. DRAIN LINE IS ABOUT 2 INCHES TOO SHORT. CADILLAC KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX IT. AGAIN ANOTHER $1000.00. THE FRONT DASH DASH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO FIX THIS. CADILLAC IS AWARE OF ALL THESE ISSUES AND REFUSES TO MAKE CORRECTIONS, THESE ARE ALL COMMON PROBLEMS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE BUT EVERY OTHER SRX FROM 2010 TO 2015. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASION AND ALL I'VE GOTTEN WAS IT WILL COST X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT. THEY RECENTLY SENT OUT A REPAIR FORM FOR THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE , BUT REQUIRE YOU TO PAY UP FRONT AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL GET YOUR MONEY REIMBURSED AFTER FILLING OUT MULTIPLE FORMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE IS PRETTY GOOD BUT WHAT HAS FRUSTRATED ME FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW IS BECAUSE MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND THE LIGTHS ARE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE HORRIBLE FOR A WHILE IT APPEARED THERE WAS A LOT OF MOISTURE AND WATER IN HEADLIGHTS AND NOW WE HAVE TO USE BRIGHTS IN ORDER TO SEE ANYTHING. I WAS A PRICE OF 1600 FOR BOTH LIGHTS TO BE FIXED AND I AM A PASTOR AND DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR LIGHTS. PLEASE HELP ME. I ALSO WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AM NOW HAVING ISSUES IN AND OUT WITH RADIO AND THE SCREEN NOT MOVING UP OR DOWN AT SPORADIC INTERVALS. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND OTHERS IT DOES NOT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MOISTURE IN BOTH HEADLIGHT PLASTIC ASSEMBLIES CAUSING THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS TO APPEAR VERY DIM, RESTRICTING NIGHT VISION. THE ONLY OPTION IS TO DRIVE WITH THE HI BEAMS ON ALL THE TIME OR NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE MOISTURE IS ALSO CAUSING THE BULBS TO GO OUT PREMATURELY.

THE FACTORY HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2010 CADILLAC SRX OVER TIME DEVELOP MOISTURE AND THE BULB BECOMES DIM. HID LENS BECOME OBSCURED AND MAKES IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ON UNLIT ROADS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR WAS GOING 70 ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER SIGNAL CAME ON AND MY CAR JERKED AND STARTED POWERING DOWN. IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. NOW MY CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WON'T WORK, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WON'T WORK BECAUSE OF SMALL MAGNETS THAT HAD POOR DESIGN. MY CAR WINDOWS DON'T OPEN. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS OF WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING AND I CAN'T SEE MY STEERING PANEL AT ALL.
