EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLAMPS ARE DEFECTIVE AND DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THE BULBS ON 1/3/2020. THE ISSUE IS NOT THE BULBS IT'S THE LAMPS. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE LAMPS REPLACED BY CADILLAC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, WHEELS
THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GETTING MORE DIM CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES AT NIGHT FORCING ME TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO MUCH AND GM TRIED TO FORCE OWNERS TO PAY TO FIX $1700 ESTIMATE OUT POCKET WITH THE HOPE & PRAYER THEY WOULD REIMBURSE THROUGH A THIRD PARTY THAT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AS DOCUMENTED ON:: HTTPS://GMAUTHORITY.COM/BLOG/2020/03/2010-2015-CADILLAC-SRX-OWNERS-STILL-BATTLING-WITH-HEADLIGHT-PROBLEMS/COMMENT-PAGE-5/#COMMENT-1001328 AND HTTPS://CADILLACSOCIETY.COM/2020/03/10/OWNERS-CONTINUE-TO-STRUGGLE-WITH-CADILLAC-SRX-HEADLIGHTS/ I HAD MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT THAT SHOWS MY CAR COULD CAUSE INJURY BASED ON MAKING MISTAKES FOR LACK OF VISIBILITY. THIS IS A DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN AND GM IS BARELY GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT IGNORING IT BUT BLOWING IT OFF IN MANY WAYS SUPPRESSING IT IN MANY WAYS . THE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND SUSPENSION ARE SCARY WHEN YOU HEAR THE NOISES AND I THINK MORE SCARY WHEN YOU ASK FOR AN ESTIMATE WHICH I WILL PUT OFF DECIDING TO TAKE A CHANCE WITH AN AREA OF THE CAR THAT CAN TRULY CAUSE DEATH IF THE PAST MEANS ANYTHING. I AM GOING TO MENTION THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEFECTIVE QUE SYSTEM THAT THEY ARE CLEARLY TRYING TO DENY BUT DID PAY 90% OF MY $1000 REPAIR WITHOUT TAKING BLAME AND OF COURSE THIS IS NOT A REAL SAFETY CONCERN BUT WORTH DESCRIBING BECAUSE IT SHOWS A CLEAR PATTERN OF SUPPRESSION AND AVOIDANCE TO RECALL A CLEARLY DEFECTIVE PART OF A VEHICLE . THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I BOUGHT MY CADDY IN 2015 (AFTER DEFECT WAS MADE KNOWN TO REPAIR SHOPS) AT CARMAX. REPLACED LIGHT BULB 1/2020. THE PROBLEM IS THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING LETS WATER IN DIMMING BULB UNTIL NIGHT DRIVING IS IMPOSSIBLE! I RECIEVED THE NOTICE FROM GM ABOUT HEADLIGHT DEFECT LATE MARCH 2020. THE PANDEMIC HIT AND I DIDNT HAVE THE $ OR WILLINGNESS TO EXPOSE MYSEF TO COVID. GM GAVE OWNERS UNTIL JUNE 2020 TO MAKE THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AND FILE FOR REIMBURSE MENT. 6 MONTHS LATER CUSTOMERS ARE STILL WAITING ON CHECKS FOR REIMBUIRSEMENT. GM REFUSES TO REOPEN THE MATTER AND FEELS THEY HAVE DONE ENOUGH TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR CUSTOMERS. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A WRECK AND POSSIBLE DEATH.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHT IS EXTREMELY BAD. I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE BRAND FOR MY NEXT CAR. THIS BIG PROBLEM HAPPENS TO EVERY MODEL LOWER THAN 2015 SRX. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. ACTUALLY YOU CAN NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THIS CAR.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, POWER TRAIN
HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM ON LOW BEAM WITH CONDENSATION PRESENT INSIDE HOUSING. VERY DANGEROUS NIGHTTIME DRIVING. MUST USE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE TO DRIVE WHICH ALSO CREATES VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN THE FACE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAVE ALSO HAD REAR AXLE REPAIRED WHICH APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CADILLAC SRX MODELS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE LOW OUTPUT AND THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS AMPLIFIED IN WET CONDITIONS. ON ROADS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS IT IS HARD TO SEE PAINTED LINES. ON COMING DRIVERS HAVE FLASHED THEIR HEADLIGHTS AT ME INDICATING THEY DO NOT THINK I HAVE MY LIGHTS ON PROPERLY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
RECENTLY NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, LOW BEAM LIGHTING IS VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT MAKING IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN DARKNESS. A LETTER DATED 2/28/20 REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE WAS RECEIVED BUT ONLY GAVE UNTIL 5/28/20 TO FILE A CLAIM. I HADN'T NOTICED ANY ISSUES AT THAT TIME AND, DUE TO COVID-19, WASN'T DRIVING ENOUGH, AND CERTAINLY AT NIGHT, TO NOTICE THIS ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY. SO, NOW THERE IS NO RECOURSE WITH GM. CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY AND GOT THE "TOUGH LUCK" MESSAGE BACK - "YOU MISSED THE DEADLINE". THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY RECALL, NOT A LEGAL CLAIM LIMITED TO A 90-DAY WINDOW DURING A LOCKDOWN. PATHETIC REFLECTION ON GM.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM. I CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY IF IT IS RAINING. I HAVE AVOIDED GOING OFF THE ROAD MORE THAN ONCE. I HIT A FOX ON A BUSY ROAD BECAUSE I NEVER SAW IT DURING A RAINY NIGHT. MY BRAKES HAVE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR MANY TIMES. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T SEE IT. IT IS INTERMITTENT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL HAVE NO BRAKES. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF I MAKE A SHARP TURN, HARD STOP OR GO OVER A ROUGH SURFACE. THIS IS LIFE & DEATH.AND SCARY. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR DIE.I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2019 AND IT HAPPENS TO THIS DAY,NOVEMBER 2020.

WEATHER SEALS APPEAR TO ERODE PREMATURELY, WHICH MAY ALLOW MOISTURE TO ENTER THE HEADLIGHT CASING AND CAUSE THE BULB TO FLICKER, DIM OR BURN OUT ENTIRELY. THE REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS ALSO USE THE SAME DESIGN WHICH RESULTS IN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE EVEN FOR FAULTY REPLACEMENT LIGHTS.

TOUCH SCREEN HAS DEVELOPED A SPIDER WEB THAT MAKES THE TOUCH SCREEN USELESS. THIS SCREEN WAS REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AT 50,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 103,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THIS WOULD BE $1000. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE MANY OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF THE CADDILAC SRX.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE HAS BEEN A GRADUAL DIMMING OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT AT TIMES THEY ARE OF NO VALUE. THIS HAS CREATED A SERIOUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN. IT CREATES CRITICAL PERIODS WHEN I MUST USE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS IN TRAFFIC JUST TO SEE THE ROADWAY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONTIUING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AS I HAVE READ ABOUT SIMILAR DEFECTS AND POSSIBLE REMEIDIES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SEATS
HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM UNTIL HIGH BEAMS HAVE TO BE USE IN ORDER TO SEE. LOW BEAM APPEARS LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON OR MAYBE PARK LIGHTS. UNSAFE BECAUSE OTHER VEHICLES CAN'T SEE YOU WITH LOW BEAM ON AND YOU CAN'T SEE. DRIVER SEAT MOTOR WENT OUT MAKING IT COMPLICATED TO REACH THE EXCELERATOR AND BRAKE. ON THE LUMBAR PART WORKS. ALL OF THIS IS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
