EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEAD LIGHTS GIVE OFF A VERY LOW DIMMING OR A LOW BEAM OF LIGHT. WHICH I CANT SEE THE LINES INSIDE OF THE ROAD OR DIVIDING LANES. THE OUT SIDE GLASS THAT COVERS THE LIGHT IS CLEAR AND NOT DAMAGED.I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHT LIGHT TO DRIVE EVERYDAY CONDITIONS. IKNOW OF OTHERS CADILLIAC OWNS WHO HAS ALSO EXPERIENCES THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE OF LIFE AND DEATH!! ON COMING TRAFFIC SOMETIMES BLOWING TO INFORM ME MY LIGHTS ARE LOW. LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY MATTER .

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS SO DIM ON REGULAR (NOT HIGH BEAM), THAT I CANNOT SEE THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CADILLAC DIRECTLY. THEY ADVISED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP AT FIELDS CADILLAC IN JACKSONVILLE THAT IT IS A REFLECTOR BEHIND THE BULB, AND THEY SEE IT A LOT. THE ISSUE IS THIS: I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPAIR IT; HOWEVER I HAD TO PAY FOR IT, AND CADILLAC WOULD REIMBURSE ME. I ASKED THE PRICE. IT WAS APPROX. $1500! I AM A WIDOW, LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY, AND DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF DISPOSABLE RESOURCES. SHE SAID THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD REPAIR IT. I WAS VERY UPSET. I THOUGHT IT WAS COMPLETELY UNFAIR. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE CAD HEADLIGHTS DOING THE SAME THING AS MINE. I TOLD THEM IF I WAS KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE, I WOULD MAKE SURE MY SON NEVER HAD TO WORK A DAY AGAIN IN HIS LIFE. IT WOULD BE ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT IN MY OPINION. I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT 60 MILES TO MY HOME A FEW WEEKS AGO AFTER DARK, AND I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, AND THERE ARE SO MANY ANIMALS, ETC. THAT MUST BE SEEN IF THEY ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NOT TO MENTION MY OWN VISIBILITY OF THE ENTIRE ROAD. WHEN I PUT MY HIGH BEAMS ON, OF COURSE DRIVERS COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION PUT THEIRS ON ME. SO WE'RE BOTH BLIND. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED BY CADILLAC OR THE NHTSA. *LN*JB

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE PURCHASED THIS 2014 SRX IN 2017 IN DAYLIGHT AT GATEWAY BUICK,DALLAS,TX. AFTER A FEW DAYS DRIVING IT AT NIGHT COULD QUICKLY TELL THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TOO TOO DIM TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT, COMPLAINED MANY TIMES TO THEM, THEY EVEN LATER CHECKED LIGHTS OUT AND SAID ALL WAS OK! VERY DISGUSTED WITH CADILLAC NOT WANTING TO RECALL AS I FOUND OUT THAT THE 2010'S THR 2015'S ARE ALL DEFECTIVE. WE CALL CADILLAC AND THEY TELL US THIS CAR IS IN NAME OF A MAN IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY CAN'T HELP US. I AM VERY VERY MAD AT CADILLAC FOR NOT SUPPORTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN THIS WAY! WE HAVE NO ONE TO TURN TO BUT ONLY FINDING A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM ONLINE AND NOTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS TRAGIC SITUATION. FINALLY ORDERED NEW HEADLIGHTS THROUGH CADILLAC DEALERSHIP ($2,000.00 TO REPAIR)EARLIER THIS YEAR AND TELL US NOT IN AS YET. THEY ARE ALL IN DENIAL. I AM 77 NOW AND HUSBAND 85 AND OUR CHILDREN ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT US DRIVING AT NIGHT. PLEASE IF SOMEONE COULD HELP IN THIS AWFUL SITUATION. A LETTER FROM CADILLAC EARLIER THIS YEAR SAID WILL ONLY PAY $1600.00 TO REIMBURSE US TO REPLACE THEM AND ONLY IF MOISTURE IS THE PROBLEM. DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD IS HORRIBLE, NOT LIGHTING, MAIN STREETS WITH STREETLIGHTS OK, BUT ANY DARK STREET IS A DEATH RISK. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO VENT AND PRAY FOR SOME RESOLVING OF THIS SITUATION. I HAVE READ WHERE PEOPLE HAVE ORDERED HEADLIGHTS AND HAD THEM REPLACED AND STILL NO BETTER, JUST SAME OLD ORIGINALS. THANKS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CUE SCREEN IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. 1) BACK UP CAMERA IS NO LONGER VISIBLE WHEN PARKING MY CAR. 2) GPS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE BECAUSE I CANNOT GET INTO THE SYSTEM, I HAVE TO USE MY CELL PHONE FOR GPS ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING IT UNSAFE DUE TO THE SUPER SMALL SCREEN INSTEAD OF THE LARGE CUE SCREEN IN THE CADILLAC SRX I PURCHASED. 3) YOU CAN NO LONGER PAIR YOUR CELL PHONE WITH THE BLUETOOTH IN THE CADILLAC, BECAUSE THE TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT FUNCTION. THIS MAKES MY VEHICLE NO LONGER HANDSFREE. 4) RADIO STATIONS AND XM NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND OTHER OPTIONS.

WHEN IT RAINS IT CAUSE WATER TO COLLECT IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT WHERE THE MODULE FOR THE LIFTGATE IS HOUSED. WHICH CAUSE THE CAR TO THINK IT'S BEEN STOLEN AND MAKES THE DASHBOARD AND SAFETY FEATURES DISABLE. IT ALSO MAKE THE CAR DON'T WANT TO TURN OFF AND IT RANDOMLY TURNS ON IF THE KEY IS NEAR BY. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CADILLAC SRX THAT CADILLAC REFUSE TO FIX OUT OF GOOD FAITH FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. IF THE MODULE GET WET YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE TO ANTILOCK BRAKES , TRACTION'S CONTROL ,AIRBAGS ,AND A HOST OF OTHER FEATURES TILL IT DRY OUT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DUE TO COVID-19, I WAS NOT DRIVING AT NIGHT. RECENTLY, I NEEDED TO GO OUT IN THE EARLY EVENING AND REALIZED MY HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM AND AT TIMES THERE ARE NO LIGHTS AT ALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!. NOW, I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT. CADILLAC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ISSUED A LETTER AND SAID THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WHICH POSSIBLY CAN OCCUR IN THE FUTURE AND PROVIDED A DEADLINE DATE. AT THE TIME I RECEIVED THE LETTER, MY CAR WAS FINE HOWEVER THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I TAKE MY CAR FOR REPAIRS SAID TO CALL CADILLAC TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE DATE. I WAS SHOCK TO FIND OUT THAT CADILLAC WITL NOT EXTEND THE DEADLINE DATE NOR WILL MY $3200 EXTENDED WARRANTY COVER THE $1600+ REPAIRS EITHER. RECALL IS NECESSARY!

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A 2014 CADILLAC SRX AND BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION 7 MONTHS LATER. I WAS EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFT CHANGES CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING, TO THE POINT WHERE I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW. OCCORDING TO THEM THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR UNTIL I DROVE IT THERE AND PHYSICALLY REQUESTED A MANAGER TO COME OUT AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THEN AND ONLY THEN THEY ADMITTED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEY KEPT IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND CLAIMED THEY PERFORMED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND 5 WEEKS LATER I WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS TIME WORST THAN THE 1ST TIME. BY THEN MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THEY DID NOT WANT TO GUARANTEE THEIR REPAIR AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY ALMOST 3,000 DOLLARS FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE DONE. MY OTHER ISSUE IS WITH THE CUE, IT CRACKED WHILE THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO PAY 1,500 DOLLARS TO FIX. SECOND TIME I HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT. THIS MODEL HAS SO MANY ISSUES IT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES ON THE ROAD FROM A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND CUES THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU HAVER TO USE YOUR CELL PHONE FOR NAVIGATION.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I CAN NOT SEE MORE THAN 2 FEET ON FROMT OF ME. THIS ISSUE IS APPARENTLY CAUSE BY FAULTY CASING ON THE HEADLIGHTS ON 2010-2016 SRX CADILLACS AND GM IS NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP FOR THIS MISTAKE. MY BEHICKE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT WITHOUT THE HIGH BEAMS ON. WE NOTICED THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AT NIGHT. THERE IS ALREADY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT EVEN LIGHT UP THE ROAD VERY WELL AND CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD. I SEARCHED THE WEB TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING IN THE HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE SAYING IT'S CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURER ERROR WITH 2010-2016 CADILLAC STX'S.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DAY I BOUGHT MY 2014 CADILLAC SRX ON THE DRIVE HOME IT GOT DARK AND MY LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS IN TALLAHASSEE IN TRAFFIC SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE STREET LIGHTS THAT WERE MAKING THEM SEEM DIM. AS I CONTINUED HOME I WAS RUNNING THE LIGHTS ON HIGH WHEN I MET A CAR I PUT THEM ON LOW AND IT WAS LIKE I HAD NO LIGHTS AT ALL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THIS WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP AND OF COURSE IT WAS TEST DRIVEN IN THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. I PURCHASED IT ON FEBRUARY 29, 2020, THE CARFAX CHECKED OUT GREAT, WITHOUT BEING AWARE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND I REALLY DO NOT THINK THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE SOLD THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. CADILLAC FINALLY SENT LETTERS TO OWNERS IN FLORIDA AND THE WEEK FOLLOWING MY PURCHASE MY MOTHER RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING A CLASS ACTION SUIT ON THE HEADLIGHTS ON HER 2013 CADILLAC SRX THAT WAS TOTALED DURING HURRICANE MICHAEL ON OCTOBER 10, 2018. I CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD I COULD HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED AT MY COST. THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE AND DURING THIS TIME A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $1700.00 LAYING AROUND BECAUSE THAT WAS THE QUOTE THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER. WITH ALL I HAVE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH AND EVEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT CADILLAC SHOULD BE REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY. I EVEN CONTACTED THE ADMINISTRATOR WITH CLASS ACTION SUIT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN # WAS IN THE GROUP THAT WAS NOTIFIED EARLIER AND THAT DEADLINE HAD EXPIRED IN JUNE 2019 PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE BUT IT IS APPARENT THE WORK WAS NEVER DONE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. IF I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT MY ONLY OPTION IS TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHICH IS A DANGER TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I ASK YOU TO PLEASE LOOK AT THIS SITUATION AND FORCE GM CADILLAC TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LONG TIME AGO. *BF *TR *TR
