LAST YEAR , JUST AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS OVER, I NOTICED A PANT BUBBLING(RUST ) ON THE EDGE OF THE HOOD. DEALER WANTED $200 TO FIX IT. MY CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD (60000 MILES ) NOW AND IS SPOTLESS OTHERWISE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH RUST SHOWING UP.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING DELAY IS A ISSUE, CONTINUOUSLY, FROM DAY ONE . I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. ON A FEW OCCASIONS THIS DELAY MADE ME PRETTY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2012 AND NEWER MODELS FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY I HAD A HARD TIME TO SEE THE HIGHWAY & THE PANEL ON MY DASH CAME ON SAYING MY RIGHT LOW BEAM LAMP NEEDED TO BE CHECKED. I DROVE HOME VERY CAREFULLY & PARKED MY CAR. THE NEXT DAY J BROUGHT MY CAR TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THE LAMP FIXED & THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I'VE READ IN THE INTERNET THAT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR CADILLAC SRX 2011. I THINK IF THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN THIS MAKE & MODEL CAR. IT WILL COST OVER $1400 TO FIX IT. THEY SAID THERE IS CONDENSATION/WATER WHICH CAUSED IT TO GO OUT ITS. IT SEALED CORRECTLY

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS VERY DIM, UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. SOME CONDENSATION IN 1 HEADLIGHT. VERY DISAPPOINTING TO SEE ALL THESE SAME COMPLAINTS AND THE COMPANY REFUSING TO CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS SAFETY. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR A FEW MONTHS AND I LOVE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THAT, AND IT IS A DEAL BREAKER.

STRUCTURE:BODY
VEHICLE WAS PARKED. PRESSED BUTTON TO HAVE REAR POWER LIFT GATE OPEN. AS IT WAS FULLY OPENING, I PUT ONE OF MY GROCERY BAGS IN THE REAR HATCH THE LIFT GATE POWERED DOWN ONTO MY HEAD WITHOUT WARNING. IT KNOCKED ME TO THE PARKING LOT. WITHOUT ANY DIRECTION FROM ME IT WENT PARTIALLY UP AND DOWN AGAIN AND THEN CLOSED FULLY. I GOT UP AND TRIED THE BUTTON AGAIN TO OPEN THE LIFT GATE. IT OPENED AND THEN JERKED DOWN AND THEN UP AND THEN CLOSED. IT STILL MALFUNCTIONS THIS WAY AND WON'T OPEN AND STAY OPENED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO SUGGESTED THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGE OVER $2000.00 TO CORRECT THIS AND IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT REPLACING THESE LIGHTS WITH THE SAME LIGHTS WILL REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS NEEDS GOVERNMENT ACTION OR PEOPLE WILL GET HURT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
I DROVE THE VEHICLE, PARKED, AND I NOTICED THE ENGINE FAN DIDNT TURN OFF IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER PARKED (OVER 2 HOURS). I DROVE TO THE DEALER ONLY FOR THEM TO REFUSE TO RUN A SIMPLE DIAGNOSTIC. WAS DRIVING AND VEHICLE BEING ACCELERATING EVEN AFTER I COMPLETELY REMOVED ME FEET; I ALSO LOOKED DOWN WITNESSED THE PEDAL MODULATING ITSELF IN AND OUT, SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY AN ABRUPT BRAKING INCIDENT. I WAS JUST ABLE TO RESTART AND PULL OVER TO EMERGENCY STOP. I HADNT GOTTEN FAR FROM THE DEALER, SO AFTER TWO HOURS OF WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME VIOLENT BRAKING BUT THIS TIME ALSO FOLLOWED BY A SPORADIC LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO CREEP THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND CONTROL ANY LOSSES OF CONTROL, IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING A SEIZURE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE MY STALL, UNINTENDED BRAKING, POWER STEERING LOSS, AND FAN (I IMAGINE THIS COULD BE A FIRE ISSUE AS WELL). THANK YOU

VISIBILITY/WIPER
HEADLAMPS (LOW BEAM ONLY) ARE TOO DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IN AREAS WHERE THE ROADS ARE NOT WELL LIT DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS ON IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WE HAVE AVOIDED DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WITH HIGH BEAMS ON (WHICH BECOMES DANGEROUS FOR OTHER DRIVERS). WE REPORTED THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY TO CADILLAC VIA A PHONE CALL AND WAS TOLD TO SEE A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP (MASSEY CADILLAC OF NORTH ORLANDO) INFORMED US THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLAMPS PROJECTOR BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. THE HEADLAMPS CANNOT BE FIXED, ONLY REPLACED. REPLACING THE HEADLAMPS WOULD COST JUST OVER $1,000.00. WE FEEL CADILLAC HAS A DEFECT IN THERE HEADLAMPS AND IS MAKING NO EFFORT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE AS TO WHY CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL OR HELP CUSTOMERS WITH OUT-OF-DATE WARRANTIES. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LOW BEAM GETTING TO HOT AND CREATING DISTORTION OR A BUILD-UP IN THE PROJECTOR. WE CAN TAKE PHOTOS IF NEEDED, BUT FELT IT MIGHT BE HARD TO TELL WHAT'S GOING ON VIA A PHOTO.
