ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF A PUBLIC GYM AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00AM, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH, 2018. I STARTED MY CAR AND TURNED ON MY SEAT WARMER AS I WAS LEAVING THE GYM. WITHIN 30-45 SECONDS, I FELT A HOT SPOT BURNING MY LOWER BACK AREA. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE SEAT WARMER, AND I STARTED TO SMELL BURNT RUBBER. THE BURNED AREA OF ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME WAS BURNED INTO THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS CAUSED TWO CIGARETTE SIZED HOLES TO BURN INTO MY JACKET THAT I WAS WEARING AS WELL. CADILLAC WAS CONTACTED (CASE #[XXX]) AND THEY WERE NOT FORTHCOMING IN INFORMING ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT IF I HAD NOT BEEN THERE TO TURN OFF THE SEAT WARMER. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE OTHER CADILLAC SRX 2013 OWNERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

ENGINE
I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS IN SEPT. 2017 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 84K MILES. GM ASSISTED WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. LESS THAN 20K MILES LATER AND A YEAR LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP LET ME KNOW THIS WAS A 'KNOWN FACTORY ISSUE'. GM IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS ABSURD THE GM AID NOT RECOGNIZING THIS AS AN ISSUE AND ISSUING A RECALL.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A MOTORIST THAT DID NOT SEE ME COMING DOWN THE ROAD.THIOS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THE LOW BEAMS ON. I WAS STOPPED BY THE STATE POLICE FOR HAVING MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND TOLD THEM I COULD NOT SEE WITH MY LOW BEAMS ON. OFFICER LOOKED AT THE HEAD LIGHTS AND SAID THAT THE DEALER OF CADILLAC SHOULD REPLACE THEM WITH NEW ONES AT NO COST TO ME.THIS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL DONE WITH NEW STYLE OF HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES

MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY DIM IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. ON TWO OCCASIONS, I HAVE GONE OFF OF A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY ON CLEAR NIGHTS WITH NO VISIBILITY. FORTUNATELY, NO DAMAGES OR INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. I HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ENGAGED TO SEE SAFELY. CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL THESE LIGHTS AND WANT $1500 TO CHANGE THEM WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENTS.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2013 CADILLAC ARE SERIOUSLY DIM. IT IS AN EXTREME HAZARD TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING THE HIGH BEAM HEAD LIGHTS. WITH LOW BEAMS HEADLIGHTS, I AM AT RISK OF ACCIDENT OR INJURY. WITH HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS, I WILL PUT OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK OF ACCIDENT OR INJURY. HOW HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN HANDLED BY NHTSA BY NOW? IF NHTSA IS TRULY "PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE", GETTING THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED BY CADILLAC SHOULD BE EASY. BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND MADE LITTLE OR NO DIFFERENCE. HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT IS WELL OVER A $1,000.00 AT DEALER. NEW HEADLIGHTS WILL ALSO START TO DETERIORATE AS SOON AS THEY ARE USED DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE LIGHTS. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN 2016 AND STARTED TO NOTICE HOW DIM THE HEADLIGHTS WERE BECOMING. EVERYWHERE WE TURN, THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY OFFERED.

THE HEADLIGHTS GET MOISTURE IN THEM CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO BARELY WORK. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING AT NIGHT. IT IS SO DANGEROUS! CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA HAVE HAD SUCCESSFUL LAWSUITS OVER THE ISSUE AND CADILLAC'S OWNERS ARE GETTING REIMBURSED. WHY CAN'T WE GET REIMBURSED IN MINNESOTA?

I LIVE IN MARYLAND OWNER OF A 2010 CADILLAC SRX AND MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN FOGGED UP WITH CONDENSATION SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2014 USED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF LETTER PERTAINING TO THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE. SEVERAL YEARS BACK I DID WRITE A LETTER TO GM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT IT FELL UPON DEAF EARS! ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM ANYONE OUT THERE! ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION. WHY ARE THE LAWSUITS ONLY BEING HANDLED STATE BY STATE AS OPPOSED TO A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS. WE NEED PROTECTION FROM THE GIANT CAR MANUFACTURERS BECAUSE THEY ARE [XXX] ALL OVER US ALL THE TIME WHEN IT COMES TO FIXING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. YOU LITERALLY CAN'T SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU!!!!!!!! GM TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MAJOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I'M DRIVING IT AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO ANOTHER GEAR . THEN IT FEELS LIKE IT'S HOLDING BACK. AS I CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE IT GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER SOUNDING LIKE A GO CART. IT WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN 60 MPH WHEN IT GETS INTO THIS ODD MODE. TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT INTO PARK AND THEN DRIVE AGAIN BUT A MINUTE OR TWO GOES BY AND IT DOES IT AGAIN. WHEN I'M GOING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL NOT DO IT. IT ONLY HAPPENEDS WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN OR SPEEDING UP NORMALLY AT STOP SIGNS AND THINGS. I HADN'T HAD THIS CAR VERY LONG, I BOUGHT IT FROM SOMEONE OFF OF FACEBOOK AND HE CLAIMS THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM! I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THOUGH!
