UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON THE AFTERNOON OF 4/11/2018, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH ON I-4 IN TAMPA (EASTBOUND). AT APPROXIMATELY 2:05 PM MY MOONROOF LITERALLY SPONTANEOUS EXPLODED INTO A TRILLION PIECES! NO EXTERNAL FORCE INFLUENCED THIS. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I HAD JUST CLOSED MY SUN SHADE 20 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE GLASS BREAKAGE AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY A FEW MILES AWAY. THE GLASS SHOWS THAT IT BLEW UP AND OUT, NOT IN FROM AN IMPACT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTERIOR FRONT LIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM WHEN DRIVING AFTER DUSK AND INTO THE NIGHT TIME. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE STOPPED I CHECKED THE LIGHTS TO SEE IF THEY WERE ON AND THEY WERE BUT WHILE DRIVING I HAVE TO RIDE WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON TO SEE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER BEEN REPORTED BUT IT IS NOT TRUE. THEY ADJUSTED MY FRONT LIGHTS THINKING IT WAS THE BEAM BUT IT DID NOT HELP THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
GOT IN VEHICLE ON THE EVENING OF DECEMBER 6,2017 IT WAS RAINING COULD NOT SEE DRIVING. IT WAS IF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH LIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM WHICH WAS NOT VERY MUCH BETTER. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS ON THE CADILLAC 2015 SRX VEHICLE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CHECKED VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BLOWN OUT WHICH THEY WERE NOT. I AM HAVING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM.

WE ARE DRIVING BLIND !!!! PURCHASED OUR 2015 CADILLAC SRX AWD IN NOVEMBER 2017 AFTER RESEARCHING ON BOTH CONSUMER REPORTS AND EDMUNDS... DID OUR TEST DRIVE IN DAYLIGHT... NOW THAT WE'RE OWNERS WE REALIZE THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE SO DIM ITS WORSE THAN DRIVING WITH PARKING LIGHTS ONLY. WE ARE NOW SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY SERIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM ALL OVER THE WEB EVERYWHERE EXCEPT FOR THE TWO ABOVE MENTIONED REVIEWERS .IT'S LITERALLY LIKE DRIVING IN THE DARK. WE HAVE TO COORDINATE WHO HAS THE CAR WHEN JUST TO GET HOME SAFELY. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS!!! THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN GM MANUFACTURING... CANT BELIEVE IT HAD NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. OPERATING THIS VEHICLE AFTER DARK RISKS INJURY OR DEATH. DEALERSHIP TURNING BLIND EYE. THEY WERE HAPPY TO GET RID OF IT? WE WILL NOT LET THIS GO AND INTEND TO DO ALL WE CAN TO EXPOSE, AND DEMAND THIS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED ASAP.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE AT A DEAD STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE WILL HAVE A LAG BEFORE ANY ACCELERATION OCCURS. LAG CAN BE FROM 5-10 SECONDS. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER PAST 12 MONTHS. EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP EACH TIME, BUT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE AND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES APPEAR. 3.6L ENGINE. I SEE THAT A RECALL FOR A VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WAS PERFORMED ON 2013 MODEL YEAR SRXS. THAT RECALL REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING OF TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. SAME ISSUE????

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
-I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON FM , MILES NORTH OF MIAMI, TX WHEN A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I STRUCK IT FRONT CENTER AND ONSTAR IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS ONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND AFTER PULLING OF THE ROAD AND COMING TO A STOP, I NOTICED A FIRE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND STILL ON THE PHONE WITH ONSTAR, MY CAR FULLY ENGULFED WITHIN 15 MINUTES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ON SITE AFTER THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED AND TOOK AN HOUR TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES. MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT CAUGHT FIRE, WHAT CAUSED IT.

I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ANOTHER DRIVER WITH THE EXACT SAME SITUATION. IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE BOTH HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND WE'RE BOTH BEING IGNORED. WHEN ACCELERATING, CAR LUNGES FORWARD AND KICKS BACK WHEN TRANSMISSION IS CHANGING GEARS AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEED. CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DEALER (PATRICK CADILLAC IN SCHAUMBURG, IL) NUMEROUS TIMES BUT DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A NORMAL CONDITION. WHEN PRESSED THE SERVICE MANGER ADMITTED IT IS NORMAL BUT ON THE EXTREME SIDE BUT REFUSES TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I BELIEVE THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED. GM CORPORATE HAS BEEN HAS BEEN CONTACTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND IS UNCOOPERATIVE AND REFUSES TO RETURN ANY COMMUNICATION. WHEN ONE PAYS THE MONEY TO BUY A LUXURY VEHICLE, ONE EXPECTS PROBLEMS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND REPAIRED.

ON INCLINED OR HILLY TERRAIN THE CAR ROLLS BACK EVEN IF IN DRIVE. AFTER A COMPLETE STOP DUE TO TRAFFIC OR STOP SIGN OR SIGNALS, WHEN FOOT IS TAKEN OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR BEGINS TO BE ROLLBACK INSTANTLY. SUCH SUDDEN SHIFT OF GEAR IS SCARY. REMINDS YOU OF ALL THE ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY AUTOMATIC SHIFT OF GEAR. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NEVER HAD EXPERIENCED SUCH ROLL BACK IN THE GM CARS WE PREVIOUSLY OWNED. AND THEY WERE LESS EXPENSIVE CARS. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN NOVI MICHGAN AND WAS TAKEN TO VIRGINIA. IT WAS DRIVEN AROUND WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR. THE ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO A DEALER IN VIRGINIA AND MICHIGAN. NOT MUCH ATTENTION OR IMPORTANCE WAS GIVEN. IN NOVI, WHEN ASKED FOR DOCUMENTATION OF OUR REPORT, WAS TOLD IT IS PLACED IN THE SYSTEM THE GPS SYSTEM IN THE CAR AT OCCASIONS HAVE GIVEN WRONG DIRECTIONS, WHICH IT ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT AT THE LAST MOMENT REQUIRING IMMEDIATE AND QUICK MANEUVERS. THAT ITSELF CAUSES GRAVE SAFETY PROBLEMS IN MULTI LANE ROADWAYS. THE GPS SYSTEM I'M THE I PHONE IS ACTUALLY BETTER AND MORE UPTODATE. THE SPOKEN INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT AS CLEAR AS OTHER SYSTEMS. THE DEALER SAID THEY WERE NOT EQUIPPED OR TRAINED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, 8/6/15, MY 2 WEEK OLD 2015 CADILLAC SRX (650 MILEAGE) SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CONTINUED TO DO SO WHILE I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, REPEATEDLY. MY WIFE AND I COULD SMELL THE BRAKE PADS AS IF THEY WERE "BURNING" FROM THE PRESSURE I APPLIED BUT THE SRX WOULD NOT STOP. WHENEVER I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. I PULLED OVER INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. WE WERE TRAUMATIZED AS OUR GRANDCHILD WAS IN THE VEHICLE . THE SRX HAS BEEN IN THE CADILLAC SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE PAST TWO WEEKS AS THEY TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE COMPUTER DID NOT REPORT ANY PROBLEM AND TEST DRIVES WOULD NOT DUPLICATE THE OCCURRENCE FOR THE SERVICEMAN.
