I AM NOT ABLE TO USE THE LIFT GATE OF THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF BODILY HARM. PLEASE NOTIFY ME WHEN A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

POWER TRAIN
THIS CAR HAS A HUGE LAG IN ACCELERATION WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC AND ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGINE BRAKING EFFECT RELEASES WHEN SLOWING IN TRAFFIC. WHEN I SLOW DOWN BETWEEN 9-14 MPH, IT'S AS THOUGH I HAVE HIT A SPEED BUMP. THE CAR JERKS BACK AND THEN FORWARD, LIKE ITS BUCKING. IT'S SO SCARY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON I95 IT DID IT AND LEFT ME SHAKING. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR LIKE I HAD HIT SOMETHING, BUT IN FACT, ITS THE JERKING, BUCKING THING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH THE JERKING BUT THE LAG IN ACCELERATION HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE CAR. WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE ENGINE REV'S BUT THE CAR GOES NO WHERE AND OTHER CARS ARE COMING AND IT'S DANGEROUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY WIFE AND I WERE RETURNING HOME FROM AN PATRIOTIC CONCERT WHEN WE LOSS THE HEADLIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK LEFT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION DISPLAY. WHEN WE GOT HOME I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD MOISTURE IN IT AND THE LIGHT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEAL FOR REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT I MAY WANT TO REPLACE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE MOISTURE IN THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE LIGHT COULD FAIL AGAIN IF THE ASSEMBLY ISN'T REPLACED. I ASKED IF THE PROBLEM WAS A KNOW ISSUE; THE SERVICE MANAGER SAY IT HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN. I TOLD HER TO ORDER THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE SRX THAT GOES BACK TO 2010 SRXS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING BOTH HEADS IN AN INOPPORTUNE TIME AND CADILLAC SHOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. 95 PROBLEMS REPORTED; NO DEATHS YET.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT THEY ARE AN ACCIDENT IN WAITING. THEY DO NOT PROJECT FAR ENOUGH TO AVOID "OVER DRIVING" THEM. DEALER SAYS THEY ARE ADJUSTED TO SPEC. PEDESTRIANS ARE AT RISK AS IS THE RISK OF HITTING WILDLIFE. IN AMBIENT LIGHT, CANNOT TELL THE LIGHTS ARE EVEN ON! HAVE INSTALLED BRIGHTER BULBS TO NO AVAIL. THIS PROBLEM IS INHERENT IN THE CADILLAC AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AT THE NHTSA. PROBLEM NOTED ALL OVER THE WEB.

LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS SO DIM FINDING IT NECESSARY TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. REPLACED LIGHT BULBS, COSTING OVER $200, AGAIN BY LIGHTNING SPECIALIST COSTING $400. STILL UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY WITHOUT DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS. HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING PEDESTRIANS MORE THAN ONCE. VEHICLE IN MOTION

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAMS ON OUR SRX ARE UNSAFE. WENT TO OUR DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THERE IS NO GM FIX AVAILABLE TO OUR CAR EXCEPT TO BUY BULBS FROM AFTER MARKET SOURCE AND THEY DID NOT RECOMMEND THAT SOLUTION. THE HEAD LIGHTS ON OUR CAR ARE UNSAFE. NOT ENOUGH LIGHT ON ROAD TO DRIVE SAFELY. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE FOR US OLDER DRIVERS. SEEMS GM WOULD PUT GOOD HEADLIGHTS HIGH ON THEIR ENGINEERING REQUIREMENT LIST. THEY DID NOT DO SO WITH THE SRX. THIS MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURTS OR KILLED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM ONE OF MANY CADILLAC SRX OWNERS WITH A MOISTURE PROBLEM INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I SPOKE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY OFFERED 2 "SOLUTIONS." AS A BAND-AID, THEY OFFERED TO DRILL HOLES IN THE CAR TO ALLOW THE WATER TO DRAIN. UNSATISFACTORY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FORMAL REPAIR FOR THIS WAS OVER $2,000. RIDICULOUS. THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A "KNOWN ISSUE" AND THAT MY HEADLIGHTS COULD SHORT OUT AT ANY TIME. AT NIGHT, THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WOULD PRESENT A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I NOTICED THAT 86 OF THE 200 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL WERE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2010 SRX FILL WITH MOISTURE DECREASING THE LIGHT AND MAKE IT UNSAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED REPEATED STOP BY POLICE TO WARN OF LOW VISIBILITY WITH THE AFFECTED HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE BECOME VERY LEERY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE SOLUTION FROM THE DEALER IS TO REMOVE THE HEADLIGHT AND DRY OUT THE MOISTURE OR REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT COMPLETELY. EITHER OPTION IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND SHOULD BE CHARGED TO THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
