UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. PURCHASED NEW. WE ARE STILL WORKING FOR RESOLUTION TO THE TCM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL- THE DEALER ORIGINALLY REPROGRAMMED THE TCM USING WRONG PROGRAM WHICH CAUSED A HUGE DELAY BETWEEN SHIFTS. IT WAS REPROGRAMED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, BUT NOW IS EXPERIENCING THE LAG WHEN THE CAR IS IN "ECO"MODE..OCCURS WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES TO 10 MPH, BREAKS ARE APPLIED, THEN GO TO ACCELERATE AGAIN--THERE IS A HUGE LAG--NEARLY HIT TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. IN NORMAL MODE, THIS IS NOT AS PREVALENT, BUT IS NOT SHIFTING AS IT SHOULD. WITH THE REAR TOE NUT RECALL, THE DEALER TIGHTENED THE TOE NUTS.. THAT'S ALL THEIR NOTES STATE. WE TOOK THIS VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE A MULTITUDE OF ISSUE--ONE OF WHICH UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND CHIPPING. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE REAR TOE WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT SUBSTANTIALLY.-- APPEARS THAT WHEN THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED, ALL THEY DID WAS TIGHTEN THE TOE ADJUSTS (EVEN IF IN ALIGNMENT OR NOT) IF YOU LOOK AT THE RECALL REPORT, GM AMENDED THE SOP FOR RESOLVING THIS ISSUE IN EARLY 2015 WITH ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF HOW TO PROPERLY TIGHTEN THE TOE--WE ASKED THAT GM REPLACE THESE BADLY WORN TIRES, BUT THEY DECLINED--THE CAR HAS 28,000 MILES, AND IT ALREADY NEEDS NEW TIRES... !? ON 12/5/15 WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE, I FOUND SOME BEARINGS IN THE DRIVERS FLOOR BOARD--ALONG WITH SOME WHITE PLASTIC THAT HOUSES THE BEARINGS--I GUESS IT CAME FROM THE SEAT TRACK?--TAKING IN TO DEALER TO EXAMINE. THE CAR ALSO HAS EVIDENCE OF POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM THE RESERVOIR--AND UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO POWER STEERING FLUID RESIDUE IN EACH OF THESE LOCATIONS. A PECKING NOISE IF PREVALENT AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE REAR CV SHAFT HAS THE PAINT WORN OFF WHERE SOMETHING IS IN CONTACT. ALSO CONFIRMED DURING ALL OF THIS THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN PAINTED--PRIOR TO US DRIVING OFF OF THE LOT NEW IN 2013

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
STABILITY SYSTEM ENGAGED IS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AND MORE FREQUENTLY EVEN IN SITUATIONS WHERE IT IS CLEARLY UNNEEDED - DRY, STRAIGHT ROAD WITH NO ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS EVEN WITH ROAD TEST. GM HOTLINE SENT ME BACK TO THE DEALER. SYSTEM ENGAGES RANDOMLY FOR A FEW SECOND AND THEN RELEASES. CAR JERKS TO ONE SIDE. VERY DISCONCERTING. WIFE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE CAR

#10809306December 9, 2015
STRUCTURE:BODY
MOON ROOF DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS POORLY DESIGNED. DRAINAGE HOSE RUNS ALONGSIDE MOON ROOF THEN INSIDE CAR TO THE REAR TAILGATE AREA, DIRECTLY OVER LIFT GATE FUSE AND MODULE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IT HAS BACKED UP, LEAKED INTO LEFT REAR (DRIVER'S SIDE) FLOOR CAUSING CARPET TO GET WET. IT TENDS TO LEAK IN REAR TAILGATE AREA OVER THE FUSE PANEL AND LIFT GATE MODULE SHORTING OUT THE POWER OR AUTOMATIC TAILGATE FEATURE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM MORE THAN ONCE, INCLUDING REPLACING THE FUSES AND LIFT GATE MODULE. THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. OTHER METHODS HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED AND TRIED TO ELIMINATE WETNESS AND ODOR FROM WINDOWS OPEN, DAMP RID, EVEN WET/DRY VACUUM. NOW THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE REPAIR BILL IS MINE TO SETTLE FOR A KNOWN CHRONIC PROBLEM AND POOR DESIGN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY DIM. BULBS WERE REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. CADILLAC ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO SPEND $3000 TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS BUT OFFERED NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED REGARDING THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE DIMNESS IN 2012, BUT THAT BULLETIN HAD EXPIRED. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT SPENDING 10% OF THE COST OF THE CAR TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT HAD BEEN RAINING FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON MY SCREEN AS I WAS DRIVING TO CHECK THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR THE LIGHT WAS COMPLETELY OUT ON THE PASSENGER LIGHT. AFTER ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO SIT IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT, THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS MOISTURE INSIDE OF THE LIGHT. THE BLINKER STILL WORKS BUT THE LOW AND HIGH BEAM ARE BOTH OUT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLAMP ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FILLED WITH CONDENSATION AND WATER. THE LOW BEAM WENT OUT. IT CAME BACK ON AFTER A FROST. IT WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE NEXT DAY THE HIGH BEAM AND OTHER LIGHTS WERE OUT. TODAY, THE HIGH BEAM IS WORKING. BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY HEADLAMP, I RECEIVED A TICKET. SOME 2010 CADILLAC SRX VEHICLES HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, OTHERS DON'T. MINEDOESN'T BECAUSE IT IS FROM ANOTHER FACTORY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
REAR HATCH OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. REAR HATCH ACTED ERRATIC AFTER THAT AND RAISED 3/4 OF THE WAY AND CAME DOWN RAPIDLY, ALMOST TRAPPING PERSON. REAR HATCH THEN CLOSED AND WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN ON MANUAL SETTING. HEARD LOUD RUSH OF WATER WHILE BACKING OUT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING DOWN THE INSIDE PANELS IN REAR, NO WATER NOTED ON REAR CARGO CARPET. TOOK TO DEALER, FOUND MODULE SHORTED OUT. REPORTED TO DEALER AFTER RESEARCH, WHILE WAITING ON PART, THAT OTHER COMPLAINT FOUND ONLINE SIMILAR, NOTED TIED TO WATER FROM SUNROOF DRAIN, ASKED THEM TO CHECK IF MODULE WAS WET. NOTED HAD SUNROOF DRAIN REPLACED PRIOR ON THE RECALL.. DEALER NOTED NO CONNECTION. PICKED UP CAR AFTER NEW MODULE ON SAT.; PICKED UP GROCERIES ON TUES. AND FOUND CARPET WET IN BACK. FOUND 1" OF WATER IN SIDE STORAGE IN REAR ON PASSENGER SIDE UNDER CARPET AND 1" OF WATER IN SPARE TIRE AREA UNDER CARGO WITH REAR HATCH MODULE/MOTOR SITTING IN THE 1" OF WATER. THEN HATCH WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN- CALLED DEALER- SET TO TAKE CAR BACK AGAIN THIS SAT.. REQUESTED CADILLAC CARE AND DEALER TO CONTACT SAFETY DEPT. OF CADILLAC SINCE REAR HATCH SHOULD NEVER OPEN BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY, AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAVE NO WAY TO CONTACT ANYONE AT CADILLAC REGARDING SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR
