2010 Cadillac SRX complaints

MOISTURE IN DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT DUE TO BROKEN SEAL. MANUFACTURER/DEALER KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLE'S CAUSING DIFFICULTY SEEING AT NIGHT WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NEW HEADLAMPS BURN OUT PREMATURELY AND CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME UNEXPECTEDLY. ALSO, STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON, ABS LIGHT ALWAYS ON.

RECALL NUMBER 11V595000 RECALL DATE 12/20/2011 COMPONENT POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUMMARY GENERAL MOTORS (GM) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010-2011 CADILLAC SRX VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 26, 2008, THROUGH JUNE 23, 2011, FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NUMBER 114, THEFT PROTECTION. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE THAT WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AND MAY COME OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION BRACKET. CONSEQUENCE THE DRIVER MAY BE UNABLE TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR, RESULTING IN NO MOTION OR THE SHIFTER MAY INACCURATELY INDICATE THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK WHEN IT IS NOT, ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY AND CAUSE A POSSIBLE CRASH. WHAT OWNERS SHOULD DO GM WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL ENSURE THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE IS PROPERLY ROUTED AND SEATED IN THE TRANSMISSION CABLE BRACKET. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JANUARY 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339.

I DROVE THE VEHICLE, PARKED, AND I NOTICED THE ENGINE FAN DIDNT TURN OFF IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER PARKED (OVER 2 HOURS). I DROVE TO THE DEALER ONLY FOR THEM TO REFUSE TO RUN A SIMPLE DIAGNOSTIC. WAS DRIVING AND VEHICLE BEING ACCELERATING EVEN AFTER I COMPLETELY REMOVED ME FEET; I ALSO LOOKED DOWN WITNESSED THE PEDAL MODULATING ITSELF IN AND OUT, SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY AN ABRUPT BRAKING INCIDENT. I WAS JUST ABLE TO RESTART AND PULL OVER TO EMERGENCY STOP. I HADNT GOTTEN FAR FROM THE DEALER, SO AFTER TWO HOURS OF WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME VIOLENT BRAKING BUT THIS TIME ALSO FOLLOWED BY A SPORADIC LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO CREEP THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND CONTROL ANY LOSSES OF CONTROL, IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING A SEIZURE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE MY STALL, UNINTENDED BRAKING, POWER STEERING LOSS, AND FAN (I IMAGINE THIS COULD BE A FIRE ISSUE AS WELL). THANK YOU

HEAD LAMPS LEAK WATER & REPEATEDLY BURN OUT (BLOW) LIGHT BULBS CREATING AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT & LOOSING BOTH HEADLAMPS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE 2ND GENERATION SRX. GM REFUSES TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN CHARGING OVER $2000 TO REPLACE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. HERE IS A LINK TO OVER 175 POST REGARDING HEADLAMP FAILURE ON THE 2010-2015 CADILLACE SRX: HTTP://WWW.CADILLACFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/CADILLAC-SRX-SECOND-GENERATION-FORUM-2010/637417-FIX-LEAKING-HEADLIGHTS-WATER-CONDENSATION-MOISTURE.HTML

FRONT SUSPENSION REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CONTROL ARMS. CODE P0017 GENERATED BY COMPUTER INDICATING NEED TO REPLACE TIMING CHAIN. VEHICLE CURRENTLY AT 90,000 MILES

THE HEADLIGHT FAILED ON OUR VEHICLE DUE TO MOISTURE INSIDE THE LIGHT. APPARENTLY, GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AS IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, CADILLAC WANTS $2000 TO FIX THIS HEADLIGHT WHICH I SEE AS A SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY IN FLORIDA WHERE MOISTURE CAN ACCUMULATE INSIDE AN IMPROPERLY SEALED HEADLIGHT. IF BOTH BALLASTS FAIL, IT WOULD LEAVE THE DRIVER WITHOUT ANY HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. THIS HEADLIGHT FAILED DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM IN FLORIDA AT NIGHT, LEAVING US WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT.

I OPENED THE POWER TAILGATE WITH MY REMOTE CONTROL AND REACHED INTO THE CAR TO GET SOME ITEMS OUT OF THE BACK. INSTEAD OF STAYING IN THE UP POSITION, THE TAILGATE CAME DOWN ABOUT 12 INCHES AND THEN BACK UP AND THEN HEADED DOWNWARD ONTO MY BACK. I AM 6 FOOT, THREE INCHES AND HAD ALL I COULD DO TO KEEP IT FROM CRUSHING ME. I MANAGED TO DUCK AND PULL OUT BEFORE IT SLAMMED DOWN. IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY MUCH SMALLER WIFE, SHE VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. I WAS PARKED AND IN A PARKING LOT. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TRIED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING RENDERING IT TOTALLY USELESS.

DIM/RUNNING HEADLIGHTS WORK BUT VERY DIM CANNOT SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAMS. WHEN TAKEN TO CADILLAC THEY CLAIM THAT MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHTS IS WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A DESIGN FAILURE. VERY UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND ASTRONOMICALLY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND DETACHED FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK BACK AND FORTH FROM THE REAR WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE "SERVICE REAR AXLE" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. RYAN CHEVROLET, LOCATED AT 1800 SOUTH BROADWAY, MINOT, NORTH DAKOTA 58701, DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR AXLE AND THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,100.

SHIFT MODULE 208755589 DATED 01/25/2010 OTHER NUMBERS GM 4447/812516052/05MODEL5 WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK, VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND ROLLED CAUSING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

THE HEADLAMPS ON THE 2010 CADILLAC SRX ARE NOT SAFE! THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT MOISTURE AND CONDENSATION GETTING INSIDE THESE LAMPS CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO BURN OUT. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHT THAT CAUSED THE BULB TO GO OUT. THEY QUOTED ME OVER 2K FOR A HEADLAMP N BULB. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HEADLAMPS ASAP!! THESE VEHICLES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MADE WITH THE BEST PARTS, BUT I SEE GM HAS FAILED!! THIS MATTER NEEDS ATTENTION IMMIDIATLY BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR EVEN WORSE!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DEPRESSING THE LIFTGATE BUTTON, IT INDEPENDENTLY CLOSED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/21/17*LJ CARFAX CANNOT PROCESS VIN. UPDATED 9/28/18*JB

I BOUGHT THIS CADILLAC SRX 2010 A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND A WARNING ⚠️ SHOWED UP ON THE SCREEN. THEY HAVE A LOT OF MOISTURE INSIDE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO NOW.

CONDENSATION IN HEADLIGHTS CAUSING LIGHTS TO GO OUT. LEAKING SEAL FROM MANUFACTURER ALLOWING MOISTURE IN.

I BOUGHT A USED 2010 CADILLAC SRX LAST DECEMBER, DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK THE NOTICED DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT SO WENT TO AUTOZONE TO CHECK PRICE OF BULB $100 NO WAY, SO CHECKED EBAY AND GOT 2 FOR $25. HEADLIGHT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH AND DRIVER SIDE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN SO I TRIED REPLACING IT WITH THE OTHER BULB AND IT DIDN'T WORK. TOOK VEHICLE BY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BALLAST WAS BAD WHICH COSTS $225 JUST FOR PART AND $444 TOTAL W/LABOR. TOLD DEALERSHIP TO GO AHEAD AND REPLACE IT AND HEADLIGHT STILL DIDN'T WORK. DEALERSHIP SAID CONDENSATION WAS IN LIGHT CAUSING IT NOT TO WORK AND I NEEDED A HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT WITH TOTAL COST OF $1700 WHICH COULDN'T AFFORD JUST FOR A HEADLIGHT SO I FOUND ONE ONLINE FOR $275 AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF AND IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MONTH NOW OUT AGAIN. HEAVY RAIN FOR 3 DAYS AND I'M WONDERING IF MOISTURE IS INSIDE IT BECAUSE I REMOVED THE BUMPER AGAIN AND SWITCHED BULBS FROM GOOD SIDE AND PUT ON BAD SIDE AND BULB NOT WORKING BUT BAD SIDE BULB IS WORKING ON GOOD SIDE. I'M ALSO GOING TO REPLACE THE RELAY FUSE TO SEE IF THAT WORK. DON'T SEE WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS.

PURCHASED 2010 CADILLAC SRX NEW IN 2010. THIS CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP GARAGE MORE TIMES THAN I OWNED IT IN THE FIRST 6 MONTH. AT 19,200 MILES, CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER. NO PROBLEM FOUND. RECHARGED BATTERY. THIS BATTERY FAILED A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES, FINALLY ON OCT. 25, 2010, BATTERY WAS BAD, ACCORDING TO DEALER, AND REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, THE WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT AND I HAD TO PAY $249.66. ISN'T IT STRANGE THAT THE DEALER DIDN'T FIND A DEFECTIVE BATTERY UNTIL THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. 8 TIMES THIS BATTERY FAILED. 8 TIMES I WAS STRANDED.

PURCHASED 2010 CADILLAC SRX NEW IN 2010.. IT NOW HAS 55,000 MILES. AT ABOUT 27,000 IT STARTED MAKING SOME SORT OF RUBBING, CRUNCHING GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BALL JOINTS OR SOMETHING ELSE IN THE FRONT END. NOISE GOES AWAY AFTER SOME DRIVING BUT ALWAYS COMES BACK AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE. CADILLAC DEALER CANNOT FIND PROBLEM. NOISE GOES AWAY WHEN I TAKE IT TO DEALER AND COMES BACK AFTER I LEAVE. I DON'T KNOW IF DRIVING IT MAY BE DANGEROUS. NOISE MOST PRONOUNCED IN THE AM WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY AND THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS FAILED SO THE HIGH BEAMS HAD TO BE ACTIVATED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, THE SUN ROOF WAS LEFT OPEN AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE BECAME WET. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER FOR THREE MONTHS WITH WATER INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER FINALLY REPLACED THE CARPET; HOWEVER, SINCE RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, IT EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE HEADLIGHT LENSES WERE CLEANED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVING TO WORK, WENT TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, "NO" BRAKES. I PUMPED THE PEDAL A COUPLE OF TIMES, FINALLY ATTAINED ENOUGH PRESSURE TO STOP THE CAR. THERE WERE NO SIGNALS, WARNING INDICATORS NOTING TO WARN ME OF THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE CAR. THE PREVIOUS DAY, THE CAR WAS FINE, GOOD SOLID BRAKE PEDAL. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THE CAR WAS INSPECTED, FLUID LEVELS FINE. DEALER SUGGESTED TO BLEED THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR ENTRAPPED AIR. I THOUGHT THIS WAS EXTREMELY STRANGE. ALSO RECOMMENDED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE 60% GONE, SHOULD BE REPLACED. I FOLLOWED THE DEALERS RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THE CAR RESPONDED, EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW EXCEPT I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR OTHERS INJURED BY THIS FAILURE.

THE LOW BEAMS ON THIS VEHICLE CAUSES VERY POOR VISIBILITY HAS ALREADY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN AN EXPENSE OF MY INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT CAUSES A FATAL ACCIDENT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

HEADLIGHTS ARE FILLING WITH WATER AND CONDENSATION. NOW HEADLIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING.

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

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.

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

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE HAD TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER DOWN TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES TO SLOW OR STOP. PROBLEM CAME ON RELATIVELY QUICKLY. TOOK TO SHOP. DIAGNOSED AS A LEAK IN POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. ALSO, THE HOOD RELEASE MECHANISM IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BROKE, MAKING RELEASE OF HOOD VERY DIFFICULT. DANGEROUS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY REQUIRING ACCESS TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR

THE REAR POWER LIFT GATE DOOR ON MY 2010 CADILLAC SRX (23,000 MILES) RECENTLY STARTED CLOSING SUDDENLY ONLY SECONDS AFTER OPENING. DURING THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS STRUCK ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND UPPER BACK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD INJURE AN ADULT, OR WORSE - A CHILD! CADILLAC NEEDS TO FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. THANKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ONCOMING VEHICLES WERE FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT HER. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE LOW BEAM PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LAMP. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE BALLAST BURNED DUE TO CONDENSATION INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT REPLACING THE BALLAST WAS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A CRACK ON THE SEAL OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY CAUSED THE BALLAST TO BURN. THE SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LIKELIHOOD OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE OTHER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS VERY HIGH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WATER DRAINING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, POTENTIAL OF DAMAGING ELECTRONICS AND STARTING A FIRE. WATER ALSO CREATED A CARPETING PROBLEM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. GM ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BULLETIN, BUT CALIFORNIA WAS EXCLUDED - WHY???? "14225 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION - SUNROOF DRAIN HOSE LEAKS". AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THE 14225 DOCUMENT AND THE PROCESS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE DRAIN TUBE. I WAS ASTONISHED TO SEE THAT CALIFORNIA CARS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE CAMPAIGN. HOW CAN THIS BE, EVIDENTLY IT DOESN'T RAIN IN CALIFORNIA BUT THE BULLETIN COVERED EUROPE, PUERTO RICO ETC., WHO WOULD PUBLISH A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DOCUMENT EXCLUDING STATES IN WHICH THE SAME CARS WERE PURCHASED, AND WOULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN THE SATISFACTION BULLETIN. AFTER TAKING MY SRX TO THE DEALER IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE DRAIN TUBE AS IDENTIFIED IN THE 14225 BULLETIN WAS THE PROBLEM, THUS ALLOWING WATER FROM THE SUN ROOF DRAIN, TO FLOOD INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I AUTHORIZED [XXX] TO FIX THE LEAK AT MY EXPENSE ($449.41). REGARDS [XXX] MANAGER, QUALITY ASSURANCE [XXX] [XXX] *DL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, INCOMING TRAFFIC ALERTED THE CONTACT THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK LOW BEAM LIGHTS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE LOW BEAM BULBS WERE REPLACED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING CONDENSATION BUILT IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BURNING THE BALLASTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

BOUGHT MY 2010 CADILLAC SRX USED FROM DEALERSHIP. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MOISTURE IN HEADLIGHTS. I WAS TOLD IS WAS NORMAL ON A CADILLAC. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. OVER TIME THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE DIM TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME. THE BRIGHTS WORK WELL BIT THE DIM SETTING IS NOW TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

2010 CADILLAC SRX "SERVICE STABILITRAC" LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR THE LAST YEAR. I'VE HAD THE SHOP WHO RAN THE CODE. THE CODE CAME BACK AS POSSIBLE FAIL BUT INCONCLUSIVE. THE MECHANIC CHECKED ALL FUSES AND ENTIRE BREAKING SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING IN NEED OF REPAIR AND ALL SYSTEMS WORKING PROPERLY. TO REPLACE THE PART THAT "MAYBE CAUSING" THE WARNING TO COME ON WOULD COST ME UP TO $1200.

EXCESSIVE MOISTURE COLLECTS IN THE FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND CAUSES BULBS TO SHORT OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. UPDATED 03/17/17*LJ *AS

FRONT PASSENGER HEADLIGHT HAS MOISTURE IN HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL GM/CADILLAC WEBSITES IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SRX OWNERS AND IS ONLY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. LIGHT WILL SHORT OUT OVER TIME AND STOP WORKING ACCORDING TO OTHER OWNER REPORTS. VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED AND CURRENT OWNER NOTICED THE ISSUE.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT AT ALL; IT IS LIKE DRIVING IN THE DARK. THE HI-BEAMS WORK FINE. I ROUTINELY USE ALL FOUR CARS IN MY HOUSEHOLD (ONE OTHER AMERICAN MAKE, AND TWO ASIAN MAKES), AND OUT OF THE FOUR, THE CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS ARE OF ABSOLUTELY NO USE. THE HEADLIGHT BULBS AREN'T BURNT OUT, BUT THEY PROJECT NEXT TO NO LIGHT. CAR HAS 94,697 MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS USED MOSTLY DURING THE DAY; IF ONE IF US NEEDS TO GO OUT AT NIGHT, WE TAKE ONE OF THE OTHER THREE CARS AS THE SRX IS THE UNSAFE CHOICE. WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS. LOOKS LIKE THERE WERE SOME SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AS MINE AT THE NHTSA WEB SITE. TWICE AS MANY COMPLAINTS LODGED WERE ABOUT THE 2010 CADILLAC SRX'S HEADLIGHTS AS COMPARED TO ANY OTHER MATTER ABOUT THE CAR ... THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING. *TR

I HAVE ONLY 16,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND HARDLY USE IT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SUNSHADE WHICH COVERS THE SUNROOF FELL ON ME AND MY PASSENGER STARTELING US AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS ONLY A PLASTIC CLIP THAT WENT INTO THE TRACK THAT JUST BROKE, FELL OFF AND CAUSED THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SUNSHADE TO FAIL AND FALL ON MY PASSENGER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THIS IS A SUNSHADE THAT WAS HARDLY EVEN USED. I NOTIFIED CADILLAC BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE OR WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

HEADLIGHT WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. UPON CHECKING RIGHT LOW BEAM BULB, LIGHT WAS OUT AND HOUSING HAD HEAVY CONDENSATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT BECAME INOPERABLE AND FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE LOW BEAM (HEADLIGHTS) WENT OUT AND FILLS WITH MOISTURE CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS TO SHORT OUT AND WAS MADE DEFECTIVE. REPLACED THE BULB AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED SAYS CADILLAC AND WILL BE OKAY UNTIL IT FEELS WITH WATER AGAIN AND SHORTS OUT.

STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON AND STAYS ON. WHILE ON AND MAKING A SHARP TURN FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE TRYING TO GRIP THE ROAD LIKE THERE'S NO TRACTION. THIS HAPPENS ON SUNNY DAYS WITH NO PRECIPITATION. ALSO CAN NOT PICK UP SPEED. THE STABILITRAK WARNINGS BEEN ON NOW FOR 2 WEEKS SINCE THE LAST TIME IT RAINED. I FIND I'M BURNING GAS QUICKER SINCE IT'S ON. ALSO SOMETIMES MY TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. IT HAPPENS MAINLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND GOES BACK DOWN TO 1ST GEAR BUT WHEN I ACCELERATE IT WON'T SHIFT BACK UP. IT ALSO DROPS BACK INTO FIRST WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED-NOT SLOWING DOWN. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IN PARK THEN PUT BACK IN DRIVE IN ORDER FOR IT TO SHIFT GEARS. IT'S SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE THE RPM'S SHOOT WAY UP AND I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE BUT I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I'VE SEEN RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY UNFAIR. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2016. *TR

HEADLIGHT WARNING MESSAGE THAT A HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. SEVERAL NEW BULBS WERE TRIED BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WATER ACCUMULATION INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. SUSPECT PROBLEM WITH FALSE READING TO MESSAGE CENTER. RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THIS SAFETY PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. NO ATTEMPT TO REMEDY IT BY GENERAL MOTORS. DEALER QUOTED EXTREMELY HIGH PRICES FOR ALL ASSOCIATED PARTS TO TRY TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DEFECTIVE DUE TO MOISTURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

UPDATED 02/14/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE POWER TRAIN FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 02/15/17

I WAS IN A MINOR COLLISION. RAN INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE. MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MY ENGINE IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT ON FIRE AND IN A FEW MINUTES MY WHOLE CARE WAS ON FIRE AND DESTROYED. THERE WAS NO KNOWN REASON HOW OR WHY THE FIRE STARTED.

ON 9/16/2016, I PURCHASED A USED CADILLAC SRX 2010 FROM A LOCAL DEALER. I WAS PRESENTED WITH A CARFAX REPORT THAT LISTED REPAIRS. AMONG THE REPAIRS WAS A HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT EVEN BEFORE THE SALE AS A NEW CAR. IT WASN'T SPECIFIC SO I FIGURED IT WAS DAMAGED IN TRANSIT OR SOMETHING. THE CAR HAD 43356 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. ON 11/3/16, WHEN DRIVING, I NOTICED THAT I WAS WITHOUT A HEADLIGHT. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE FRONT AND NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS FULL OF MOISTURE AND THE LOW BEAM BULB WAS BLOWN. ON 11/4/2016, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO RESOLVE AND THEY REPLACED THE BULB WHICH DIDN'T WORK SO I LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT AND THEY REPLACED THE "IGNITER". I PICKED IT UP THE NEXT DAY. I DROVE IT FOR A WEEK TO TEN DAYS, BUT NOT AT NIGHT. UNTIL 11/12/16. THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT NO LONGER WORKED ON LOW BEAM OR HIGH BEAM. THE CAR NOW HAS ONLY 45,273 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DRIVEN IT ONLY 1,927 MILES. I LIVE IN A DENSE FOG AREA AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT WILL BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ANYTIME THERE IS FOG. EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO FOG, THE LACK OF A DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT COULD RESULT IN AN ONCOMING CAR MISJUDGING THE SIZE OF THE CAR AND POSSIBLY TURNING IN FRONT OF IT, ASSUMING THAT IT IS A MOTORCYCLE OR SMALL CAR. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND NOW IT REMAINS THERE BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND WANT ME TO PAY FOR IT. IT IS A FAIRLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AROUND $1200 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REGISTERED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD FLIP OVER AND CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY DASHBOARD WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE GAUGE NEEDLES MOVED QUICKLY BACK AND FORTH. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MILES/HOUR. DASHBOARD WAS BLACK FOR 30-60 SECONDS. CAR CONTINUED TO FUNCTION.
