ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DIGITAL AND ANALOG SPEEDOMETERS ARE NOT SYNCHRONIZED, VARIATION OF 3+ MPH. GM STATES VARIATION IS NOT ADJUSTABLE, IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS, BUT WILL NOT STATE WHICH READING IS ACCURATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THE DRIVER CANNOT ACCURATELY TELL IF THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING A HIGHER SPEED THAN SHOWN ON THE SPEEDOMETER.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE USELESS. THEY ONLY LIGHT UP ONE CAR LENGTH. I SEE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ALSO. WE HAVE THE "LUXURY" MODEL WITH THE HALOGEN LIGHTS. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY FACTOR. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, I JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT DUE THE POOR LIGHTING. *TR

CADILLAC ISSUED A TSB IN APRIL 2012 (TSB #PIT-3749D), WHICH IS ALSO NOTED AS NHTSA ID #10037570 REGARDING RUST AND FRAME CORROSION. MY 2005 CADILLAC SRX IS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, AND I WAS JUST QUOTED $5700 TO REPAIR THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WHY ISN'T THE NHTSA REQUIRING A RECALL IF THE STRUCTURAL FRAME OF THE CAR IS ERODING AWAY? I CAN SEND YOU ALL MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH CADILLAC CORPORATE OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE HATCHBACK LIFTGATE OPENED BY ITSELF. THEN IT WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW ANY ACCESS TO THE REAR CARGO AREA WHERE FLAT TIRE REPAIR GEAR IS LOCATED. I THEN DETERMINED THAT THE EXPENSIVE ELECTRICAL LIFTGATE MECHANISM BECAME SUBMERGED IN WATER FROM SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES THAT FAIL TO DRAIN RAIN TO THE GROUND. A FURTHER LOOK REVEALED THAT THE FRONT SEAT AND REAR SEAT FLOOR MATS WERE SATURATED WHERE ELECTRICAL CABLES ARE ROUTED. CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY OF NHTSA REFERENCE # 10078604 OR TSB REFERENCE # PIC-5260-A OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION WHY GENERAL MOTORS HASN'T RECALLED CADILLACS WITH THIS UNSAFE CONDITION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON AND STAYS ON. WHILE ON AND MAKING A SHARP TURN FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE TRYING TO GRIP THE ROAD LIKE THERE'S NO TRACTION. THIS HAPPENS ON SUNNY DAYS WITH NO PRECIPITATION. ALSO CAN NOT PICK UP SPEED. THE STABILITRAK WARNINGS BEEN ON NOW FOR 2 WEEKS SINCE THE LAST TIME IT RAINED. I FIND I'M BURNING GAS QUICKER SINCE IT'S ON. ALSO SOMETIMES MY TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. IT HAPPENS MAINLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND GOES BACK DOWN TO 1ST GEAR BUT WHEN I ACCELERATE IT WON'T SHIFT BACK UP. IT ALSO DROPS BACK INTO FIRST WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED-NOT SLOWING DOWN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IN PARK THEN PUT BACK IN DRIVE IN ORDER FOR IT TO SHIFT GEARS. IT'S SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE THE RPM'S SHOOT WAY UP AND I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE BUT I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I'VE SEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY UNFAIR. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2016. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT THE SRX USED IN SEPTEMBER AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD ONE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER. IF I ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY MY TRANSMISSION, (I THINK), HAS A VERY LOUD RATCHETING/POPPING SOUND. MY SERVICE SUSPENSION SYSTEM ERROR MSG COMES ON EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS COULD BE RELATED TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR NOT WORKING OR FAULTY SENSORS. MY SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM ERROR MSG ALSO COMES ON EVERY TIME I START MY VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO CAUSE THE TRACTION CONTROL FEATURE TO MESS UP, WHICH THEN ON OCCASION WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKES, EVEN SLIGHTLY, MY BRAKES LOCK UP AND I SKID FOR JUST A SECOND. MY POWER STEERING FLUID SEEMS TO CONTINUALLY LEAK OR THE PUMP IS BAD. I HAVE REFILLED MY RESOVOIR MANY TIMES AND I CONSTANTLY HAVE A VERY LOUD "WHINING" SOUND. MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM ALSO SEEMS TO GO OUT OCCASIONALLY AND MY VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN.

HEADLIGHT WARNING MESSAGE THAT A HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. SEVERAL NEW BULBS WERE TRIED BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WATER ACCUMULATION INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. SUSPECT PROBLEM WITH FALSE READING TO MESSAGE CENTER. RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. NO ATTEMPT TO REMEDY IT BY GENERAL MOTORS. DEALER QUOTED EXTREMELY HIGH PRICES FOR ALL ASSOCIATED PARTS TO TRY TO REPAIR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS THE 2ND TIME FOR THIS REPAIR... THE BACK HATCH WON'T LIFT, THE SUNROOF WON'T OPEN, THE BACKUP CAMERA IS FOGGY, AND THE DOOR LOCKS WON'T ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN GEAR. ONCE AGAIN, THE "MOTOR" THAT RUNS ALL OF THESE THINGS HAS GOTTEN WATER IN IT AND HAS BURNT UP. FIRST TIME REPAIR....$2300. THIS TIME, I DON'T HAVE THE FINAL TOTAL YET, BUT I THINK THEY SAW ME COMING. CONSIDERING THAT MY CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED UNDER COVER, MY OPINION IS THAT THIS IS A FLAW WITH THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE. IF YOU PAY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR A NICE VEHICLE, YOU EXPECT IT TO DELIVER ON ALL FRONTS--NOT LEAK AND FRY WHEN IT RAINS. AGAIN, SAME REPAIR WITHIN 2 YEARS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VISIBILITY/WIPER
CUE SYSTEM FROZE UP, NO RESPONSE FROM TOUCH SCREEN, VSS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ON, SEAT HEATERS DO NOT WORK. THUS NO ABILITY TO CONTROL HEATER OR DEFROST SYSTEM AND OWNERS MANUAL INDICATED THAT IF THE VSS LIGHT IS LIT THE VSS SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIONAL. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE IN MICHIGAN IN THE WINTER WITH OUT CONTROL OF THE DEFROSTER AND SINCE THE VSS SYSTEM IS TIED IN TO THE BRAKES I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WILL FUNCTION. VEHICLE PURCHASED 6-29-13 AND HAS APPROX 37,000 MILES. DEALER OFFERED TO REPAIR FOR $1750.00 BUT NEGOTIATED TO $750.00 I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT ON A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 5 "SERVICE UPDATE BULLETINS " WITH SOFTERWARE UPDATED FOR THE CUE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE. SO CLEARLY THERE ARE ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THIS SYSTEM AND MY LATEST PROBLEM IMPACTS MY SAFETY WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTERTIME. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THES SOFTERWARECAND OPERATIONAL ISSUES TO PRESERVE DRIVER SAFETY WHILE USING THIS VEHICLE. IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE IN LATE AUGUST 2016 AND WHEN STARTED UP IN EARLY NOVEMBER THE CUE CONTROL SYSTEM SCREEN WAS UNRESPONSIVE.
