JUST PURCHASED A 2013 CADILLAC. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE BUT ALMOST CRASHED THE FIRST TIME I DROVE IT AT NIGHT. CANNOT SEE WITH HEADLIGHTS ON DIM. HELP PLEASE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAD TO DRIVE AT AN UNSAFE SLOW SPEED QUITE A DISTANCE TO GET WHERE I COULD PULL OVER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. DANGEROUS! WHEN YOU DIM YOUR HEADLIGHTS THEY BARLEY SHINE AT ALL. LOOKS AS IF THEY AREN'T ON. STOPPING AND HAVING TO BRAKE IS VERY DANGEROUS.

HEAD LAMPS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SEEM VERY DIM. ALMOST TO THE POINT THAT I WONDER IF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE EVEN ON. HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR AT NIGHT AND ALSO CAME BACK TO ME AND ASKED IF I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS DUE TO THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED THE LOW BEAMS ON MY VEHICLE ARE VERY DIM. THEY ARE SO DIM I HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF MY VEHICLE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE EVEN ON. THEY ARE ON BUT I CANNOT SEE MORE THAN 5FT IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS HOW DIM THEY ARE. SOMETIMES I TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE AT NIGHT BUT THIS IS ALSO DANGEROUS TO OTHER DRIVERS.

THE LIFT GATE WILL NOT OPEN DUE TO THE CONTROL MODULE SHORT CIRCUITIING. THIS WAS DUE TO WATER BACKING UP FROM THE SUNROOF DRAIN HOSE WHICH SEEPED INTO THE TRUNK AREA AND SHORTED OUT THE LIFTGATE CONTROL BOX.

EVER SINCE WE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DIM. I HAD REPLACED THE BULBS AND IT DID NOT HELP. DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE OVER 1500 TO FIX AND IT WAS NOT COVERED. I CANT AFFORD THAT SO I TOLD MY WIFE WE JUST WILL NOT TRY TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. ON THE 3RD OF JULY MY WIFE HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE STORE BECAUSE I WAS NOT HOME. I TOLD HER PLEASE BE CAREFUL. WHEN COMING INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SHE MISCALCULATED A RIGHT TURN AND RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE DRAINAGE DITCH. SHE WAS SHAKEN UP BUT NOT HURT. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE DITCH BUT MESSED THE CAR UP PRETTY BAD. SHE SAID SHE SIMPLY COULD NOT SEE THE TURN BECAUSE OF THE HEADLIGHTS BEING TO DIM. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MY DEALERSHIP BEFORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SAID IT IS NOT COVERED SO THE COST WOULD BE 1500 PLUS. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY HAZARD THE ONLY WAY WE CAN SEE IS IF WE HAVE THE BRIGHTS ON. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS MODE OF VEHICLE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I HAVE A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. I HAVE HAD IT EXACTLY A YEAR FROM JUNE 30 2017-JUNE 30TH 2018. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT. WHEN YOU GO FROM BRIGHT TO DIM ITS LIKE CUTTING OFF YOUR HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. I TOOK OFF WORK ONE DAY TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TRIED THERE BEST NOT TO WORK ON IT. THEY HAD EVERY EXCUSE. THEY FIRST WANTED ME TO TRADE MY CAR IN FOR ANOTHER AND THIS TOOK 2 HOURS AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY 10,000 EXTRA TO WHAT I ALREADY OWE ON THE CAR I BOUGHT FROM THEM THE FIRST TIME. THEN I TELL THEM I WANT MY CAR FIXED. SO THEY SEND ME TO ANOTHER EMPLOYEE . HE TRYING HIS BEST TO FIND ANY EXCUSE TO NOT BE ABLE TO WORK ON IT. NEEDLESS TO REMIND U I PURCHASED A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I PAID AN EXTRA $2,400. SO THE EMPLOYEE IS TELLING ME IT DOES NOT COVER THE BUMPER IT ONLY COVERS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BETWEEN THE BUMPER. SO I WAS LIED TO WHEN I BOUGHT THE WARRANTY. BESIDES THAT HE THEN TELLS ME THAT IT WILL BE $150 JUST TO CHECK MY HEADLIGHTS EVEN TO HE ALREADY CHECKED WITH ANOTHER SRX AND SAID THAT THEY WHERE REALLY DIM COMPARED TO THE OTHER USED SRX. BUT HE WANT TO CHARGE ME $150 JUST TO CHECK FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND CHARGE ME $21 A BULB. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAITED ANOTHER 2 HOURS I WAS THERE FOR 4 HOURS AND NOBODY TRIED TO FIX NOTHING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CADILLAC CUE (INFORMATION/NAVIGATION/AIR CONDITION SYSTEM) DEVELOPED SPIDER WEB TYPE CRACKS INSIDE THE SCREEN; THIS MAKES IT HARD TO SEE OR USE CONTROL FEATURES. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ONE PERSON HAS ONLY 19,000 MILES AND HAS THE WEB LIKE CRACKS. IT WAS 90 WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR AND SAW A FEW OF THESE CRACKS (THESE CRACKS ARE SMOOTH TO TOUCH ON SCREEN), BUT A WEEK LATER IT'S GOTTEN BIGGER. A SOURCE SAYS IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT, AND THAT THE CRACKS ARE THER GLUE OR ADHESIVE HAS DISSIPATED, AND IS DETACHING THE SCREEN FROM THE ACTUAL COMPONENT. I HAVE 44,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE ... IT STAYS UNDER THE CARPORT, BUT IS STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND POSTING PICTURES ON GENERAL MOTORS DISCUSSION THREAD, ONE WOULD THINK SOMETHING WOULD'VE GOTTEN DONE. AS STATED BEFORE, IT WAS A SMALL LINE AND IT'S CONSTANTLY SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE CADILLAC CUE SCREEN. IT'S A SIMPLE ISSUE, BUT SHOULD CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER? HERE IS THE LINK WITH OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THER SAME THING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
UNSAFE DEFECTED HEADLIGHTS. TODAY, I HAD A TECH AT CLAUDE NOLAN CADILLAC JACKSONVILLE, FL CHECK THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE CUE-SYSTEM ON MY 2013 SRX MODEL. THE TECH-ADVISER INFORMED ME THAT I NEED HEADLAMPS THAT COST $1200 EACH AND THREE DOWNLOADS TO FIX THE CUE TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM ISSUE. WHAT? THESE ISSUES ARE WELL DOCUMENTED AS ONGOING ISSUES. WHY ARE WE...THE CUSTOMERS ADDRESSING GENERAL MOTORS (GM) NOTED DEFECT/ISSUE SURROUNDING THE SRX 2013 MODEL? I WILL USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO INFORM FOLKS AND POTENTIAL BUYERS TO BEWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. GM IS NOT BEING ACCOUNTABLE NOR RESPONSIBLE. THE SRX 2013 MODEL IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO THEIR HEADLIGHTS: A RECALL IS NEEDED FOR THIS DEFECT (THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO). BUYERS BEWARE OF ANY OTHER GM-CADILLAC MODELS; NOT TO MENTION THE CADILLAC-CUE SYSTEM EXPERIENCE THAT FREEZE OR CYCLE AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT TOUCH. AS A CONSUMER, I SUPPORTED GM-AMERICAN CARS (NOT AFTER THIS). REMEMBER GM, YOU CAN MEASURE LOST REVENUE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE UNREASONABLY DIM. THIS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND ON MANY INTERNET SITES. GENERAL MOTORS IS TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE REVIEWING A RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME I AM DRIVING AND INCREDIBLY UNSAFE VEHICLE. IT IS IN THE SHOP CURRENTLY FOR OTHER REASONS, AND I'M DRIVING A 2015 LONER AND THE DIFFERENCE IN THE LOW BEAM BRIGHTNESS IS MORE THAN SIGNIFICANT. THIS IS A VERY STRONG SAFETY ISSUE. AND GENERAL MOTORS CAN'T SERIOUSLY EXPECT SOMEONE TO PAY 1500 TO $2,000 IN REPAIRS FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER GO OUT. IT'S THEIR FAULT AND THEY KNOW IT.

TIMING CHAIN IS DAMAGED AND THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 77,000 MILES. IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 66,000 MILES. THE DEALER CHOSE TO JUST MONITOR AND NOW MIRACULOUSLY ONCE I HAVE NO WARRANTY, THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR IS NOISY WHILE RUNNING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS WHEN IN STANDARD ON, NOT BRIGHTS, NOT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, ARE VERY DIM. ONLY HAVE ABOUT 5 FEET OF VISIBILITY. WE HAVE HAD THE DEALER TWICE DO A FULL EVALUATION, AND ACCORDING TO GM/CADILLAC EVERYTHING CHECKS, VOLTAGES, ETC. IF EVERYTHING CHECKS, THEY WHY ARE THE LIGHTS TOO DIM? THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING SINCE THERE IS NOTHING IN THEIR (GM/CADILLAC) SYSTEM FOR PROBLEMS. WE USE THOMSON MACCONNELL CADILLAC IN CINCINNATI, OH. THEY ARE FOLLOWING THEIR DIRECTIONS AND WILL NOT DO ANY MORE IN ASSISTING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS, NO ANYTHING FOR CORRECTION. THERE ARE HOWEVER, SEVERAL LAWSUITS BEING BROUGHT AGAINST GM FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT REFUSE TO DRIVE THEIR SRX AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LOW OUTPUT OF LIGHT. WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO PARK IT AT NIGHT AND DRIVE OUR OTHER CAR. THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR THE TWO YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. IF WE CAN'T USE IT WHEN EVER WE WOULD LIKE TO USE, THEN THE PROBLEM NEEDS FIXED BEFORE THERE ARE ACCIDENTS AND MAYBE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT TILL THAT HAPPENS. THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. SOMEONE IS WELCOME TO COME AND VISIT AND DO A DRIVE WITH US AT NIGHT.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN AUGUST, 2017. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LOW BEAMS BEING DIM. DOES GM PLAN TO REPLACE THESE BULBS? I CANNOT DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF ACCIDENT, HITTING A DEER OR SOMEONE NOT SEEING MY VEHICLE.

THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM.THIS IS AN ONGOING DAILY ISSUE. THE ISSUE CANNOT BE REMEDIED BY CHANGING THE BULBS ALONE. THERE IS VERY NOW VISIBILITY AT NIGHT UNLESS THE HIGH BEAMS ARE USED WHICH DISTRACTS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED IN ALL DRIVING SETTINGS, CITY, HIGHWAY, COUNTRY ROADS. IT IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN DRIVING IN DIMLY LIT COUNTRY ROADS.
