ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CADILLAC CUE TOUCHSCREEN IS INOPERABLE. VEHICLE HAS 31,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ACCORDING TO WEB SEARCHES, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CUE. THE TOUCHSCREEN IS NON-RESPONSIVE TO TOUCH INTERFACE FOR VARIOUS AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS WHICH COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. SUCH AS DEFOGGING OR DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD. SYSTEMS SUCH AS NAVIGATION, INTERIOR CLIMATE CONTROL, MEDIA CONTROLS, BLUETOOTH CONTROLS, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC CONTROLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY $2500 (CADILLAC QUOTE) TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ITEM FOR THE YEAR MODEL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
A DIM HEADLIGHT ISSUE EXISTS WITH THE SRX. A CADILLAC SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME PART OF THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LENS AND AN OVAL PART OF THE LENS GETS CLOUDED AND DOESN'T PROJECT LIGHT CORRECTLY. THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHEN POSSIBLE TO SEE. USING THE HIGH BEAMS CAN IMPAIR THE VISION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, SO I HAVE TO USE THEM CAUTIOUSLY. THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2011 AND GM HAS NOT INFORMED THE OWNERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CADILLAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND TO REQUEST HELP IN GETTING THIS ISSUE RECTIFIED. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF $1600 TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMERS. GM SHOULD BE CONCERNED THAT THIS DEFECT INCREASES THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THESE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS, I AM REQUESTING INTERVENTION AND ASSISTANCE FOR ME AND OTHER OWNERS OF THE SRX TO GET OUR VEHICLES REPAIRED EITHER FREE OF CHARGE OR AT A REASONABLE PRICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOUR AGENCY SOON.

IN 2016 THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM. THE BEAMS BECAME SO BAD IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE HEADLAMP HOUSING BUBBLED CAUSING IT TO OBSTRUCT THE BEAM. IN OUR CASE IT WAS LIKE AN UPPER EYELID CLOSING OVER THE EYE. THE HEADLAMPS HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AT DUSK. MY TWILIGHT SENSOR TURNED ON MY HEADLIGHTS. MY DRIVER SIDE LIGHT WENT OUT. 3 DAYS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT. I CANNOT TURN ON HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE LENS, BUT NOT WHERE THE HID BULB AND BALLASTS ARE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AND STILL NO LIGHTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS BUILDING UP CONDENSATION INSIDE AND SHORTENING OUT COMPONENTS DUE TO HEADLIGHTS UNIT NOT BEING SEALED CORRECTLY. REPLACING HEADLIGHTS COST APROX $3000 TO REPLACE OR REPAIR. THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO GM NOT SEALING THE UNIT PROPERLY / CORRECTLY. IF THE HEADLIGHTS WERE CORRECTLY SEALED THERE WOULD NEVER BE ANY CONDENSATION / LEAKAGE GETTING INSIDE AND SHORTENING OUT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AS HEADLIGHTS CAN STOP WORKING. WHEN STARTING VEHICLE THE NEXT EVENING HEADLIGHTS DID NOT COME ON AND RECECIVED A MESSAGES ON DASH BOARD TO CHECK LEFT AND RIGHT HEADLIGHTS BULB. CADILLAC DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME CONDENSATION BUILD UP. MOREOVER, IF A PERSON IS ON A LONG DRIVING TRIP OR LOCAL, HEADLIGHTS CAN GO OUT AND LAW ENFORCMENT CAN STOP AN INDIVIDUAL FOR DRIVING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OUR LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE DIM. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY 2015, THEN LEFT THE AREA. WE TOOK IT IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE THREE MONTHS LATER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THEM. WE WERE UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FOR 50,000 MILES. WE WERE TOLD THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. WE TOOK IT IN TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS AS WE TRAVELED AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. AFTER 9 DIFFERENT TIMES OVER 2 1/2 YEARS, WE FINALLY INSISTED THEY BE CHECKED, AFTER OUR WARRANTY HAD RECENTLY EXPIRED. THEN THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAULT WITH THE LAMPS AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF $1,100. WE CONTACTED GM WITH OUR COMPLAINT. THE BEST THEY WILL DO IS INSTALL THEM FOR FREE, BUT WE HAVE TO PAY OVER $800 FOR NEW LAMPS. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTING BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MANY. WE LITERALLY CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT OR BEFORE DAYLIGHT WITHOUT USING OUR HIGH BEAMS. WE NOW WILL REPLACE THEM OURSELVES WITH AFTER MARKET PARTS BUT THAT'S NOT A GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WE SAW A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE. WHAT MAKES US ANGRY IS THAT WE WERE LITERALLY BLOWN OFF WITH OUR COMPLAINT 9 TIMES AT VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS (ATTACHMENT HAS ALL THESE DOCUMENTED) BEFORE A DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD JUST DIAGNOSED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER CUSTOMER AFTER SHE INSISTED THE SERVICE ADVISOR DRIVE IT HOME ONE NIGHT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT. WE ASSURE YOU, CADILLAC IS AWARE OF IT. THERE ARE A LOT OF US DRIVING UNSAFELY. WE TRY TO AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT OR DUSK BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CONSTANT MOISTURE IN THE HEADLAMPS CAUSE SERIOUS VISION ISSUES WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON DIM. LIGHTING IS OBSTRUCTED AND VISUAL OF THE ROAD IS SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED. THE DIM LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL WITH CONSISTENT MOISTURE. THERE IS A CURRENT LAWSUIT INVOLVING OTHER GM VEHICLES FOR THIS VERY REASON. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN, AND THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER CAME UP ON THE SCREEN. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 70 MILES PER, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WENT DOWN ALL THE WAY TO 20 MILES PER HOUR, I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT LOST POWER THEN IT SHUT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR ANOTHER VEHICLE COULD HIT ME ACROSS THE FREEWAY. THIS ALSO HAPPENED NOVEMBER 3, 2017, AS I WAS ROLLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE CUT OFF IN MOTION. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE LOSING POWER WITHOUT NO NOTIFICATION TO THE DRIVER UNTIL IT HAPPENS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THESE 2004 SRX CADILLAC VEHICLES. ALSO THE SCREENS CONSTANTLY SAYS CHECK STABILITY SYSTEM, OR REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL. PLEASE THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.
