EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PURCHASED 2012 CADILLAC SRX ON SEPTEMBER 26TH 2017. CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF EXTREMELY DIM HEADLIGHTS. SEWELL VILLAGE CADILLAC IN DALLAS TX, SALES AND FINANCE MANAGERS ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE HEARD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE DIM LIGHTS AND SAFETY CONCERNS. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THE DEALER WANTS THE VEHICLE OWNER TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS, STATING THAT REFLECTIVE FINISH INSIDE THE HOUSING DOES FADE AND STOP PROJECTING THE LIGHT AS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT I CAN BARELY SEE MAYBE 30 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN PASSING ONCOMING LIGHTS FROM VEHICLES 1 OR 2 LANES OVER, MY LIGHTS ARE WASHED OUT AS PITCH DARK(BLINDED). I FEEL VERY UNSAFE BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP HAS NOT AGREED TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS REALLY A MANUFACTURER MATERIAL DEFECT. YOU CAN REACH ME AT [XXX] IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN DIM FROM THE TIME WE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT HAVE BECOME DIMMER OVER THE PAST MONTHS. IT IS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT ON A WELL LIT STREET AND JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE ON A DARK NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. I FEEL THE NEED TO DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME NOW.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. TWO VEHICLES HAVE ALMOST HIT ME DUE TO THE LAG IN ACCERLATION. I'VE SPOKEN WITH MY DEALERSHIP SEVERAL OF TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY DO NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY SUV AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS STATING IT WAS FIXED PROPERLY. I CURRENTLY GO THROUGH 13 MILES PER GALLON WHICH IS NOT NORMAL.

OPENED REAR GATE HATCH AND REACHED INTO VEHICLE. REAR GATE ABRUPTLY STARTED CLOSING ON ITS OWN PINNING ME IN THE VEHICLE. HATCH WAS PRESSED AGAINST MY UPPER BACK AND UPPER RIGHT ARM AS I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. HATCH WOULD NOT STOP CLOSING AND CONTINUALLY KEPT BANGING MY BODY UNTIL I COULD SLITHER OUT FROM UNDERNEATH IT AND THEN IT FORCEFULLY SLAMMED SHUT. I AM A SENIOR FEMALE AND WAS PINNED FACED DOWN "VERY SCARY". I CALLED LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN WITHIN A HALF HOUR. THEY TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED AND REPLACED THE RIGHT STRUT. I INQUIRED IF THERE SHOULD BE ANY TYPE OF SAFETY FEATURES OR SENSORS TO PREVENT FROM HATCH CLOSING ON YOU AND THEY STATED NO. NEXT DAY LATER I AM VERY BRUISED AND SORE.

-I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON FM , MILES NORTH OF MIAMI, TX WHEN A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I STRUCK IT FRONT CENTER AND ONSTAR IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES. FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS ONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND AFTER PULLING OF THE ROAD AND COMING TO A STOP, I NOTICED A FIRE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND STILL ON THE PHONE WITH ONSTAR, MY CAR FULLY ENGULFED WITHIN 15 MINUTES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ON SITE AFTER THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED AND TOOK AN HOUR TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES. MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT CAUGHT FIRE, WHAT CAUSED IT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A 2013 SRX USED IN JANUARY OF 2017 AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TODAY BEING THE LATEST, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT 4-WAY INTERSECTIONS, WHEN I TRY TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND MOVE INTO THE INTERSECTION THE CAR COASTS WITHOUT POWER AND LEAVES ME STRANDED FOR A FEW SECONDS. WITH THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN BOLTS FORWARD CAUSING THE VEHICLE "PEEL OUT". BEING STRANDED IN THE INTERSECTION IS SCARY AND I AM AFRAID I WILL BE HIT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ON A CONSISTENT BASIS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. I SEE ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL OTHER CONCERNS THAT SOUND VERY SIMILAR TO THIS.
