• 12/30/2022· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  It is clear that it's a manufacturing problem with the seals for the headlights in this vehicle. There are many of the same complaints concerning visibility and water log inside the headlamps. I am having this same issue. Because of the water log inside of the headlamps, this could cause electrical damage. The seals in these headlamps aren't sealing correctly and water from rain is flooding the inside of my headlamps, especially the driver's side. A recall should be given for these faulty headlamps. 2011 Cadillac SRX - FWD

  MY LIFTGATE BECAME INOPERABLE. IT WAS WORKING FINE SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. THEN WE HAD A BAD STORM AND FOR SOME REASON WATER GOT THRU THE LIFTGATE SOMEHOW AND NOW HAS STANDING WATER IN THE WELL UNDER THE STORAGE ARA, AS WELL AS, IN THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT ON THE SIDE. THIS WATER HAS NOW CAUSED MY LIFTGATE TO STOP WORKING BECAUSE IT FLOODED MY LIFTGATE CONTROL MODULE. THIS IS CAUSING A BIG INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE I CAN'T USE MY LIFTGATE, AND HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS A KNOWN AND RUNNING ISSUE WITH THIS LOCAL VEHICLE.

• 12/29/2016· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE USELESS. THEY ONLY LIGHT UP ONE CAR LENGTH. I SEE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ALSO. WE HAVE THE "LUXURY" MODEL WITH THE HALOGEN LIGHTS. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY FACTOR. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, I JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT DUE THE POOR LIGHTING. *TR

• 12/26/2017· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  HEADLAMPS HAVE BECOME SO DIM THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IS WITH HIGH BEAMS WHICH IS ALSO NOT SAFE FOR OTHER MOTORIST. I DO NOT SEE ANY MOISTURE IN EITHER HEADLAMP AS OTHERS HAVE STATED. IN READING THE OTHER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THIS IS A SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR A FAULTY AND DANGEROUS PRODUCT.

  REAR SUSPENSION OVER THE SMALLEST DROP IN PAVEMENT SMOOTHNESS CAUSES HEAVY NOISE WHICH FEELS LIKE IT'S BOTTOMING OUT, THE NOISE IS EXTREMELY LOUD AND DISCONCERTING. ALL PASSENGERS SO FAR HAVE COMMENTED ON IT. CADILLAC SAYS THIS IS NORMAL (THE BOTTOMING OUT SOUND) THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR OF THIS COST. IT'S DRIVING ME UP THE WALL WAITING FOR THE NEXT BANG !!! *TR

  ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE HATCHBACK LIFTGATE OPENED BY ITSELF. THEN IT WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW ANY ACCESS TO THE REAR CARGO AREA WHERE FLAT TIRE REPAIR GEAR IS LOCATED. I THEN DETERMINED THAT THE EXPENSIVE ELECTRICAL LIFTGATE MECHANISM BECAME SUBMERGED IN WATER FROM SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES THAT FAIL TO DRAIN RAIN TO THE GROUND. A FURTHER LOOK REVEALED THAT THE FRONT SEAT AND REAR SEAT FLOOR MATS WERE SATURATED WHERE ELECTRICAL CABLES ARE ROUTED.

  I have had my vehicle about a month I have a 2011 Cadillac SRX I have had it in the shop at least 3 weeks since I had it due to the headlights being out or damaged by water they have worked out about $6,000 on my vehicle to have the bulbs burner ballast and igniter replaced and replaced my passenger side lens but they did not replace the driver side and it accumulates a lot of water all the time if it's a pretty day it's still keeps water inside I think the cover needs to be replaced due to water getting into the headlight or any type of moisture I've been seeing that this is been an ongoing problem with these vehicles I feel like if I just bought the vehicle I should not be responsible for replacing the lens on the driver side because it is a safety issue and it's more dim than the other side I think these should be recalled

THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALERSHIP TURNED OFF THE FAILURE CODES JUST BEFORE SELLING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO NEED AT LEAST $6,000.00 WORTH OF REPAIRS, SHORTLY AFTER BEING PURSCHASED. THE REAR AXLE AND EMISSIONS WERE POINT OF FAILURES.

• 12/14/2021· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  The headlights, driver and passenger, repeatedly fill up with water/condensation and cause the light to short completely. This is dangerous for night time driving as it impairs visibility and is also illegal. When I asked a repairman about a replacement I was told that it’s useless as the replacement parts are made of the same components and I would pay thousands of dollars to eventually incur the same problem because it is a design flaw. There is no warning that the light is going to short. It just shorts but it usually is when the water has built up inside the light. If it rains or snows I’m guaranteed to get water in the lights and with large accumulations of precipitation is when it’s for sure shorting out from water/condensation buildup. I have had the lights short at least 4 times over the last two years.

  EXTREME MOISTURE BUILDUP IN BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES CAUSING DECREASED NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY AND ADDITIONALLY CAUSING BULBS TO BLOW OUT. PURCHASED 2011 SRX USED IN 2017 WITH 63,000 MILES, NOT AWARE OF THE DEFECT AT THAT TIME. A LIMITED WARRANTY WAS ALSO PURCHASED FOR AN ADDITIONAL $2700 BUT WAS INFORMED AFTER ASKING THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE THAT DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT COVERED. QUOTED ALMOST $5,000 TO REPLACE BOTH. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AS WELL AS UNFAIR TO THE PUBLIC, NOT ONLY THE RISK OF FAILURE POTENTIALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $5,000, NOT INCLUDING THE WARRANTY PURCHASED, TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.

  I WAS DRIVING ON EAST BOUND ON M50 AT NIGHT AND I CAME TO THE LIGHTS OF CHRISTMAS DISPLAY AT HIDDEN LAKE GARDENS A PART OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY. AS I APPROACHED HIDDEN LAKE GARDENS I TURNED LEFT INTO THE DRIVEWAY TO DISCOVER THAT I HAD DRIVEN INTO THE EXIT INSTEAD OF THE ENTRANCE A FEW FEET DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, JUST A FEW WORDS FROM THOSE EXITING AS TO MY STUPIDITY, WHICH WAS REALLY A FAULT OF THE POOR ILLUMINATION OF MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY CADILLAC. THIS CAR HAS THE POOREST QUALITY LOW BEAMS OF ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED IN THE LAST 40 YEARS I COULD NOT USE MY HIGH BEAMS AS I HAD TRAFFIC COMING AT ME. CADILLAC MAINTAINS THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE GOOD, BUT THE FACT IS THEY ARE INFERIOR, THEY KNOW IT AND WILL NOT SPEND THE MONEY TO CORRECT IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS. IN ADDITION AS YOU LOOK AT THE CAR, YOU WOULD THINK THAT IT HAS THE "HID" LAMPS IN IT AS THEY MADE IT APPEAR THAT IT HAS. THE FACT IS IT HAS A FILAMENT LIGHT BULB THAT HAS VERY LITTLE POWER. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM FROM EXPERTS IN THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY AND FORCE CADILLAC TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ONLY TWO MODELS ARE AFFECTED THE "BASE" AND THE "LUXURY" THE "PERFORMANCE" AND "PREMIUM" MODEL OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THE XENON "HID" HEADLIGHTS WHICH ARE VERY POWERFUL.. *TR

ONCE AGAIN, THE "MOTOR" THAT RUNS ALL OF THESE THINGS HAS GOTTEN WATER IN IT AND HAS BURNT UP. FIRST TIME REPAIR....$2300. THIS TIME, I DON'T HAVE THE FINAL TOTAL YET, BUT I THINK THEY SAW ME COMING. CONSIDERING THAT MY CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED UNDER COVER, MY OPINION IS THAT THIS IS A FLAW WITH THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE. IF YOU PAY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR A NICE VEHICLE, YOU EXPECT IT TO DELIVER ON ALL FRONTS--NOT LEAK AND FRY WHEN IT RAINS. AGAIN, SAME REPAIR WITHIN 2 YEARS.
