EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOUGHT A 2013 SRX AND DROVE IT HOME AT NIGHT , COULD NOT SEE ON DIM LIGHTS AND USED BRIGHT LIGHTS TO GET HOME. CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT I AM HAVING NEW BULBS PUT IN BUT AFTER READING THIS WEB SITE I AM NOT THINKING THEY WILL BE ANY BETTER. THESE LIGHTS ARE SO DANGEROUS AND THE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE RESOLD UNTIL FIXED. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN EVERY WAY, YOU SHOULD DO YOUR JOB AND DO A RECALL AS GM IS NOT DOING THEIRS.

DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT SEAL THAT ALLOWS MOISTURE TO CORRODE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THE MOISTURE CAUSES CONDENSATION THAT LEAVES THE HEADLIGHTS PRACTICALLY USELESS. I HAVE A 3 YR OLD AND A NEWBORN AND THIS CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE THEM IN AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2013 CADILLAC SRX ARE SO DIM THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE OPERATED SAFELY AT NIGHT. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT BOTH HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY'S NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 1,250, AS THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND SIMPLY REPLACING THE BULBS WILL NOT REMEDY THE LOW LIGHT OUTPUT. GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT COMPONENTS AND HAS SETTLED LAWSUITS IN FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY IN FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA BUT IN ALL 50 STATES THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED WITH A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS WHERE APPROPRIATE. FAILURE OCCURRED PRIOR TO 70,000 MILES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TOUCH SCREEN(CUE) STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I CANNOT CHANGE HEATING AND COOLING LISTEN TO RADIO OR ANY OF THE OTHER FUNCTIONS THAT THE TOUCHSCREEN OFFERS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL CONCERNING THE CUE BEING DEFECTIVE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED WHICH I WILL PUT PUT MY NAME ON. MY DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO DO ANYTHING ALL THEY SAID WAS "IT'S NOT WORKING AND YOU NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP THAT HANDLES CADILLACS." I HAVE READ THE COST CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 1200 TO 1500 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAMS ARE UNUSABLE. HAVE BEEN DIM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, BUT ESPECIALLY APPARENT & DANGEROUS THREE NIGHTS AGO COMING HOME LATE AT NIGHT, RAINING, NO MOON. I COULD HARDLY SEE AND HAD TO KEEP HIGH BEAMS ON WHICH GOT A LOT OF LIGHT FLASHES FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD TO SWITCH TO LOW BEAMS MORE THAN SAFETY WARRANTED. DRIVING WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF NOT FOR THE REFLECTORS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY I WOULD HAVE HAD TO STOP DRIVING.

HEADLIGHTS FAILED DURING NIGHT DRIVE ON CITY STREET. I WAS ALERTED BY A PASSING NEIGHBOR. I CHECKED THE LIGHTS AT HOME AND FOUND THAT THEY WERE OPERATING BUT WITH SO LITTLE LIGHT THAT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GM DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSPECTED. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE DEFECTIVE AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT.

SEAT BELTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO GET SO MUCH CONDENSATION THAT THE BULB AND THE CONTROLLER MALFUNCTION AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON UNTIL THE UNITS DRY OUT EITHER OVER TIME OR ARE MANUALLY REMOVED TO DRY OUT INDOORS. THE DEALER STATES CONDENSATION IS NORMAL AND THE LAWSUIT THAT OFFERED REDRESS WAS ONLY FOR VEHICLES SOLD IN TWO STATES AND MY STATE IS NOT INCLUDED. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE DESIGNED LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT GETS STUCK AND MUST BE UNBUCKLED IN ORDER TO ADJUST. CURRENTLY THE DRIVERS SEATBELT FUNCTIONS AS DESIGNED WITH NO ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER HEADLAMP IN MY 2013 CADILLAC SRX IS COMPLETELY OUT DUE TO CONDENSED MOISTURE BUILD UP CAUSING ITS COMPONENTS TO DEFECT. NOW MY CAR BECOMES VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND ACCORDING TO PRIOR RECENTS COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUITS, IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S AN ISSUE GM IS CURRENTLY AWARE OF BUT FAILED TO ADDRESS AND IT'S COSTING CONSUMERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

NOW I'M STUCK WITH THE CAR AND SO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT CAUSE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS AT RISK. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2013 CADILLAC SRX ARE SO DIM THAT I CANNOT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. THIS IS AN INHERENT DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE(2010-15) THAT MOST OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. APPARENTLY THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE DEFECTIVE CAUSING MOISTURE TO ENTER THE HEADLIGHTS. REPAIRS ARE AROUND $2,500 AND CADILLAC REFUSES TO REMEDY THE SITUATION OR RECALL THE CARS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING MY BRIGHTS.
