WHEELS
3 OF THE 4 WHEEL BEARING/HUBS ARE BAD. NEED TO REPLACE THREE. THOUGHT IT WAS TIRES, BUT IT IS THE WHEEL BEARINGS. I HAVE 114,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND NO POWER TRAIN WARRANTY NOW. HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR 50,000 MILES AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES I BOUGHT BECAUSE IT STARTED RIGHT AFTER NEW TIRES INSTALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS MOISTURE IN IT AND DOES NOT WORK. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOME OWNERS REPORTEDLY LOSING BOTH HEAD LAMPS DO TO THIS PROBLEM. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ONE PERSON ON THE CADILLAC FORUM REPORTED THAT THERE WERE 30,000 POST REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. GOING BACK SEVERAL YEARS. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING DESIGN PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE COST TO FIX IS ABOUT $1500 PER LAMP.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SUV LOW BEAM LIGHTS DON'T ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. DRIVING FROM FLORIDA TO MARYLAND, I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROADWAY MARKINGS UNLESS THEY HAD REFLECTIVE STRIPS. RAINY WEATHER MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT ALL. ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS MAKE STAYING ON THE ROADWAY NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THIS DEFECT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO USE HIGH BEAMS MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE WAS GOING TO LEAVE THE HOUSE YESTERDAY (7/29/2016) MORNING TO START HER DAY. SHE CALLED TO NOTIFY ME THAT THE CADILLAC WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. ONLY THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THAT AFTERNOON THE CAR WOULD START BUT ANYTHING ELECTRONIC WAS GOING CRAZY. THE DASH LIGHTS, RADIO, WARNING SYSTEMS WERE ALL FLICKERING ON AND OFF. I EVENTUALLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP POWERING UP THE DASH AND RADIO. BEING IN THE BUSINESS THAT I AM IN,I KNEW THERE WAS MOST LIKELY A MOISTURE PROBLEM. SO TODAY AFTER DOING A LITTLE SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH SUNROOF LEAKAGE. I THEN GO TO CHECK UNDER MY FLOOR MATS FOR WATER. CARPET WAS WET. I THEN PROCEEDED TO PULL BACK THE CARPET AND FOAM. I FOUND WATER EVERYWHERE. I SUCKED UP ABOUT 2 GALLONS FROM THE FRONT AND BACK SEAT AREAS. WITHOUT PULLING UP THE CARPET YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOW THERE WAS WATER IN THE CAR. I WOULD ASSUME THIS IS ALSO THE REASON MY LIFT GATE WENT OUT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. POSSIBLY THE CAUSE OF MY WINDOWS BEING VERY SLOW TO RISE. BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE MUCH OF THE WIRING RUNS ALONG THE SIDES OF THE CAR UNDER THE CARPET. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE THIS CAR. MY WIFE AND I MADE IT TO PLACE IN LIFE WHERE WE FINALLY DECIDED TO SPLURGE A LITTLE ON A LUXURY CAR AND THIS IS WHAT WE GOT. I UNDERSTAND THINGS BREAKING DOWN AND MAKING REPAIR,S BUT THIS IS APPARENTLY A FLAW IN THEIR SUNROOF DESIGN AND GM HAS TO KNOW ABOUT IT . THIS CAR HAS 48000 MILES.

POWER TRAIN
THE 2011 CADILLAC SRX STALLS WHEN TRYING TO PULL OFF FROM BEING A STOP SIGN. IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE APPROPRIATELY. IT STALLS. IT COULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE OR PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM BEING AT A STANDSTILL. IT IS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE HEADLAMPS WENT OUT TOTALLY WITHIN 2 DAYS AFTER MOISTURE AND CONDENSATION APPEARED BEHIND PROTECTIVE CLEAR SEALED COVERS. LEFT SIDE WENT OUT WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, RIGHT SIDE WAS OUT WHEN I ARRIVED FOR SERVICE THE NEXT DAY. I WAS CHARGED $1354.47 BY CADILLAC TO REPLACE ALL COMPONENTS ON EACH SIDE, INCLUDING NEW CLEAR COVERS AND SEALS. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. WHEN I PICKED MY VEHICLE UP FROM CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, THERE WERE SEVERAL CADILLACS LINED UP, ALL WITH MOISTURE BEHIND THE CLEAR LENS COVERS. I COULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT UNTIL THIS REPAIR WAS COMPLETED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH FRONT (L & R) WINDOWS OPERATE VERY SLOWLY WHEN GOING UP. SO SLOWLY, IN FACT, OFTEN "MANUAL ASSISTANCE" (THE USE OF THE DRIVER'S HAND GRASPING THE WINDOW-HELPING IT UP-AS IT S-L-O-W-L-Y RISES) IS REQUIRED. NATURALLY, THE 4 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTEE JUST EXPIRED 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS IS A DISGRACE! A 4 YEAR OLD CADILLAC(28K MILES) WITH "$2.00" (CHEAP!!) WINDOW MOTORS. AND GM WONDERS WHY MERCEDES, LEXUS AND BMW TRUMP THEM EVERY YEAR. NO MYSTERY!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE DEFECTIVE AND ALLOW CONDENSATION TO BUILD UP BEHIND LENS CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO BE LESS EFFECTIVE AND EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED TWICE (ON BOTH FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE) SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2014, MOST RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THESE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, VIA A RECALL, BY CADILLAC ASAP. AN INTERNET SEARCH ON THIS ISSUE REVEALED HUNDRED OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I SUSPECT CADILLAC IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART.
