EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN USING LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT THEY ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND UNSAFE. WE OFTEN NEED TO DRIVE MUCH SLOWER THAN POSTED SPEED LIMIT DUE TO THE INADEQUATE HEADLIGHTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY CADILLAC SERVICE CENTER AND DESCRIBED THE HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE RIDICULOUS! I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CHILD TO SCHOOL IN THE EARLY MORNING BEFORE THE SUN RISES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE YJAT CADILLAC IS WELL AWARE OF, YET THEY DO NOTHING! I GUESS THEY WILL WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED AND ATE IN COURT BEFORE THEYBRECALL THEIR CRAPPY ' HIGH END' VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING OR IN PARK AT NIGHT, UNABLE TO SEE SAFELY WITH LOW BEAMS ON--MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. THERE IS EXCESSIVE MOISTURE INSIDE OF HEADLIGHT WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY SEALED. PAID $700 TO HAVE ONE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL (NOT AFTERMARKET) TWO YEARS AGO AND THE SEAL IS CLEARLY BROKE. HAVE ALSO TRIED REPLACING BULBS. AFTER READING OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA, I CONTACTED CADILLAC TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE MY HEAD LIVES. BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WERE ON WILLING TO WORK WITH ME, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS ON, ONE CANNOT EVEN SEE THE CENTER OR SIDE LINES OF THE ROAD YOU ARE DRIVING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTREME CONDENSATION AND WATER INTRUSION OF DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY RESULTED IN HEADLAMP FAILURE. MINOR CONDENSATION AND WATER INTRUSION OF PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, BUT FUNCTIONING. NO WARNING OF HEADLIGHT BULB FAILURE ON INTERIOR INSTRUMENT PANEL. DISCOVERED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AFTER DARK. VERY POOR ROAD ILLUMINATION WITH ONLY ONE FUNCTIONING HEADLIGHT. NEEDED TO AVOID NIGHTTIME TRAVEL UNTIL REPAIRED. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND OTHER CADILLAC FORUMS, I PURCHASED A OEM HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AT OUT OF TOWN CADILLAC DEALERSHIP FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE ASSEMBLY, AND HAD IT INSTALLED AT LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP. MILEAGE AT FAILURE 89,650. REPAIRED AT 89,802. PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE AT LOCAL AUTO DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 2018 WITH 80,512 MILES.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THEY APPEAR TO BE TURNED OFF. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AT NIGHT. THE CAR IS IN COVERED PARKING WITH 43,000 MILES. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE NIGHT DRIVING AND THE ONLY WAY TO SEE WAS TO USE BRIGHT BEAMS. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS DEFECT. GM NOT ACKNOWLEDGING VIA RECALL BUT SEE ALL ON INTERNET ACROSS COUNTRY WITH SAME PROBLEM ON THIS CAR YEARS 2010-2015. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CADILLAC USER EXPERIENCE (CUE) TOUCH SCREEN FAILED TO FUNCTION. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE THE TOUCH SCREEN FUNCTION, IT WAS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO THE INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE CUE SYSTEM. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO USE SPECIFIC ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS THE DEFROSTER, WHICH HAD TO BE MANUALLY SELECTED FROM THE CUE TOUCH SCREEN. THE DEALER (GROSS CHEVROLET BUICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF NEILLSVILLE, 404 E DIVISION ST, NEILLSVILLE, WI 54456, 1-(715) 743-3207) SUGGESTED HAVING CUE CUSTOMER CARE ASSIST WITH THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALER REGARDING THE REPAIR COST. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR. THE CUE MANUFACTURER, DEALER, AND THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO REPLACE THE CUE TOUCH SCREEN. THE PART WAS NOT REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2013 SRX WITH THE EXTERNAL HEADLIGHT ISSUE OF VERY DANGEROUSLY DIM LIGHTING ON LOW BEAM. I CAN BARELY SEE A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME ON LOW BEAM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO FIX. I HAVE CALLED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO FIX. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. IT LOOKS AS IF IT WILL TAKE THE DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR SEVERAL BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING AT NIGHT. YOU CANNOT SEE 30 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR ON A DARK ROAD. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO GUARANTEE IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS BOTH GM MECHANICS AND INDEPENDENT. NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS TO ME BUT ALSO TO ONCOMING DRIVERS AS I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS TO SEE WHERE I AM GOING AND CONSEQUENTLY CREATE GLARE FOR THE ONCOMING CARS. I FEEL THAT CADILLAC HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE SAFETY WHEN THEY SELL A PRODUCT. PLEASE RECALL THE CAR AND RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM PLANNING TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR MORE THAN FOUR MORE YEARS AND DONT WANT TO HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM TO TRY TO WORK AROUND. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FROM NEW IN 2012 AND USE IT EVERYDAY. IT HAS BEEN, AND IS, MAINTAINED BY GM. DEALERS .

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE HAVE A 2014 CADILLAC WE BOUGHT USED A YEAR AGO. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS LUMINOSITY HAS DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THAT IS UNSAFE, ACTUAL DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE ATTACHED TWO PICTURES THAT I TOOK. ONE IS MY NISSAN ALTIMA SHOWING NORMAL PROJECTION AND THE CADILLAC SRX WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE DEALER AND CADILLAC REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE AND WILL DO NOTHING. RESEARCH CLEARLY SHOWS THIS TO BE AN ISSUE IN 2010 TO 2015 CADILLACS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILES IN MULTIPLE STATES. I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT AND SHE STATES SHE IS AFRAID TO DO SO. I BELIEVE THE FOLKS AT NHSTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE ARE HURT IN ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. SUTTLE CADILLAC (12525 JEFFERSON AVENUE, NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA 23602) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

MY WIFE WAS 25 MILES FROM HOME AT 10:30 PM AND CALLED ME STATING THAT NEITHER HEADLIGHT WAS WORKING. BOTH HAD CONDENSATION IN THE HOUSING. ONLY ALTERNATIVE WAS TO TOW IT HOME OR DRIVE WITH FOG LAMPS ON.NEITHER HEADLIGHT IS WORKING, HIGH OR LOW BEAM. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE WITH 60,000 MILES. CALLED CADILLAC AND WAS TOLD YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, YOU WILL PAY ALL COSTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

AT ALL TIMES MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM AND WHEN I FIRST START MY VEHICLE MY HEADLIGHTS STROBE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AS WELL AS CADILLAC AND BOTH TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE FIXED AS A RECALL/SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN OPERATING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT I MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS, IT'S AS IF MY LOW BEAMS AREN'T ON AT ALL. MY PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 80,000 AND NOW AT 91,000 MY HEADLIGHTS ARE USELESS.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
ON 6/25/18, MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH., IN OUR 2012 CADILLAC SRX. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO A SUBDIVISION. BUT, THEN DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT AND PULLED BACK INTO THE LANE OF MY WIFE. SHE SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES, TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, SHE COULDN?T ANTICIPATE THEIR MOVE. SHE HIT THEM FROM BEHIND, GOING 45MPH. SHE HIT HER FOREHEAD ON THE VISOR BAR TWICE, CAUSING A SKULL FRACTURE, BRAIN BLEED, SEVER CONCUSSION, DEEP LACERATIONS, A BURST ARTERY IN HER FOREHEAD TO WHERE SHE WAS BLEEDING HEAVILY AND UNCONSCIOUS. HER CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH BADLY BRUISED HER RIBS, CAUSING A HIATAL HERNIA, DUE TO THE IMPACT. SHE SUFFERED LACERATIONS TO HER LEFT ARM, KNEE AND HAS RUPTURED DISCS IN HER CERVICAL SPINE. SHE WAS ICU FOR SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO THE BRAIN BLEED AND HEAD INJURIES SHE SUSTAINED. OUR AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DIDN?T LOCK ON IMPACT, ALLOWING HER TO BOUNCE UPWARD TWICE AND SUSTAINED THE HEAD INJURIES. THE CADILLAC AIR BAGS AND SEAT LOCKING MECHANISMS FAILED TO PROTECT HER FROM INJURIES SHE SHOULD HAD NEVER HAD. SOMEONE NEEDS TO RESEARCH FURTHER THESE ISSUES FOR THE 2012 SRX SO OTHER CONSUMERS DON?T FEEL SAFE IN A VEHICLE, WHERE THE SAFETY MECHANISMS FAIL. CADILLAC SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. SHOULD THE 2012 SRX HAVE A RECALL ON AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELT LOCKING MECHANISMS FAILING? MORE THAN ONE COMPLAINT HAS BEEN POSTED, SO I HOPE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATES THIS FOR US ALL. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A FORMAL COMPLAINT! THANK YOU, AND PLEASE FOLLOW UP! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ABOUT 2.5 YEARS AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM BULB 7 TIMES ON BOTH SIDES. EVEN WHEN I REPLACE IT WITHIN A WEEK IT IS SO DIM I CAN HARDLY SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE OTHER MORNING I WAS HEADING TO WORK AND I HAD MY HIGH BEAMS ON BUT A CAR WAS FLASHING ME SO I THOUGHT OK I WILL BE ALRIGHT FOR JUST A SECOND WITH THAT DIM LIGHT BUT WHEN I CLICKED IT TO LOW BEAM THEY WERE NON EXISTENT AND I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD AS I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD NOT HEAVILY TRAVELED. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THEY HAD COMPLETELY BURNED OUT AGAIN. I LOVE MY CADDY BUT THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND GOING TO FORCE ME TO GET RID OF IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOU ARE USING LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC THE HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE THE ROAD. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT IS WAY TO DIM AND NOT MUCH BRIGHTER THE THE DAY TIME DRIVING LIGHTS. WHEN COMPARING THIS MODEL CAR TO OTHERS SIDE BY SIDE ON LOW BEAM THIS MODEL IS LESS THAN HALF AS BRIGHT AS THE OTHER MODELS ON LOW BEAMS. CADILLAC AND THE LOCAL DEALER SAY NOTHING CAN BE DONE FOR IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2012. WITHIN A SHORT WHILE, I NOTICED HOW DIM THE HEADLIGHTS WERE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS/IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT AS THESE HEADLIGHTS CAUSE LITTLE TO NO VISIBILITY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IF THEY WERE TO REPLACE THE CURRENT HEADLIGHTS THEY WOULD REPLACED WITH THE SAME FAULTY HEADLIGHTS UNFORTUNATELY. I WAS THEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY ONLY OPTION IS TO SELL THE CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR AND KNOW THAT THE PROPER & FAIR SOLUTION WOULD BE FOR CADILLAC TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE HEADLIGHTS AND REPLACE THEM WITH PROPER, SAFE AND FUNCTIONING HEADLIGHTS. THANK YOU.
