2013 Cadillac SRX complaints

MY CADILLAC SRX MODEL YEAR 2013 IS EQUIPPED WITH FAULTY HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE SO DIM I CAN NOT SEE THE LINES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ON BACK ROADS YOU CAN'T SEE NOTHINGS TO SEPARATE THE ROAD FROM THE LAND. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE JUST MISSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE A GREAT EXTENDED WARRANTY THRU 2022, BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER BECAUSE OF GM STANCE. WARRANTY SOLUTIONS GM HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH NOTIFICATION TO CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE CADILLAC OWNERS. THE COMPANY HAS ALSO ALLEGEDLY FAILED TO OFFER A FIX FOR THE DEFECT UNDER ITS OWN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY. A RECALL WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE. COMMON TO OTHER GM MODELS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 2 CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA. HELP! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2013 CADILLAC SRX, WHICH WE PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER, 2012, ARE PRACTICALLY UNUSABLE FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS EXTREMELY LOW EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BULBS WITH SYLVANIA ZXE BULBS AND THEN, AFTER THESE WERE INEFFECTIVE, LED REPLACEMENTS. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE UNLESS THE HIGH BEAMS ARE USED, WHICH THEN CAUSES ISSUES TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR OCCURRENCES READILY FINDABLE THROUGH INTERNET SEARCHES. IT APPEARS THAT GM SHOULD DETERMINE AND PROVIDE A LONG TERM SOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN A NOTICEABLE ISSUE WITH OUR VEHICLE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.

THE LOW LIGHTS ARE SO LOW THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE AT NIGHT. THE BRIGHTS ARE FINE. I REPLACED THE FILAMENTS AND PUT IN STRONGER BLUBS, BUT THE LOW LIGHTS ARE STILL NOT ADEQUATE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. THIS STARTED IN JUNE 2016.

THE LOW HEADLIGHT BEAMS ARE SO DIM YOU CAN NOT SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IT HAS BECOME VERY FRIGHTENING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER WHO STATED HE HAS SEEN THIS ISSUE BUT NOTHING HE CAN DO . CADILLAC WAS CONTACTED AS WELL. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EITHER.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY VERY DIM. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BULBS TWICE. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE SAFELY AT NIGHT. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THESE CARS, BUT CADILLAC HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM, YOU CAN NOT SEE AT NIGHT AT ALL. ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IN THIS CAR. THERE HAS TO BE A RESOLUTION TO THIS.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I HAVE HAD BOTH BULBS REPLACED BUT MY LOW BEAMS ARE STILL TO DIM. THIS MAKES IT EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. TONIGHT, I ALMOST HIT A DEER AND ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. OFTEN, I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH-BEAMS ON TO BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY SEE THE ROAD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN OTHER STATES REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE ADEQUATELY PUTS MYSELF AND OTHERS IN DANGER.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS SO DIM CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT WITHOUT USE OF HIGH BEAMS. TOOK TO DEALER TOLD LIGHT HOUSING HAD OXIDIZED FROM THE INSIDE AND WOULD NEED REPLACED. DEALERSHIP STATED CHANGING BULBS WILL NOT HELP NOR COULD LENSES BE CLEANED THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER FLAW. $1055 TO FIX WITH NO GUARANTEE THEY WONT NEED REPLACED AGAIN IN 5 YEARS OR LESS.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS, ALTHOUGH CAUTIOUSLY, SO AS NOT TO BLIND ONCOMING DRIVERS. IF THERE IS A CAR BEHIND ME, I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY CAR AT ALL; IN FACT, I SEE THE SHADOW OF MY CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BY CADILLAC. TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS IS ABOUT $1500 AND IS NOT GUARANTEED TO IMPROVE THE DIM LIGHT SITUATION. I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND IT'S FRIGHTENING. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS? THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS LOGGED ON THE INTERNET. IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO INTERVENE ON OUR BEHALF? WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE? AT THIS POINT, I DON'T BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE UP TO INDIVIDUAL OWNERS TO PURSUE RESTITUTION. PLEASE STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING! I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A CADILLAC DEALER IN APRIL OF 2017.

2013 CADILLAC SRX FRONT HEADLAMPS DO NOT PUT OUT LIGHT. CANT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. CADILLAC SUGGESTED AFTER MARKET BULBS, ALSO DIDN'T WORK. HAVE NOW INSTALLED FLOOD LIGHTS TO USE FOR DRIVING. HAVE SPENT OVER $600. CADILLAC SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. CAN'T GUARANTEE PUTTING NEW ONES IN WILL HELP AND IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. HOW CAN CADILLAC SELL CARS WITHOUT EFFECTIVE LIGHTS? TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. GOT NO SATISFACTION FROM DEALER OR CADILLAC.

QUITE SOME TIME AGO I NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE HEADLIGHTS DIDN'T SEEM TO BE PROJECTING GOOD LIGHT. I HAD FAMILY LOOK AT THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I SHINED THEM ON THE CLOSED GARAGE DOOR, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. FINALLY I CALLED MY MECHANIC, AFTER HIM MY CADILLAC DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS HAD DETERIORATED AND THAT THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WOULD COST QUITE A HEFTY PRICE. IN RESEARCHING I SEE THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM. IN FACT I HAVE FOUND THAT AT LEAST TWO CLASS ACTION SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED, ONE IN CA AND THE OTHER IN FL. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? THIS IS GOING TO PROVE DANGEROUS FOR THOSE DRIVING AT NIGHT. AS IT IS, I WILL BEGIN USING MY HIGH BEAMS AT ALL TIMES. DO WE NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR WORST, KILLED, BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRES A RECALL?

I HAD TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT EXTENSIVELY RECENTLY. WE NOTICED THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO SEE ADEQUATELY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE NORMAL HEADLIGHT BULB IS SO DIM THAT IT APPEARS THAT NOT BE WORKING WHICH LEAVES YOU WITH THE ONLY OPTION OF USING HIGH BEAMS EVEN WHILE IN THE CITY. THE DEALER SAID THEY GET ABOUT 3 CALLS PER DAY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. HE ADDED THAT THERE IS NO FIX FROM CADILLAC BUT THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF IT AND HAVE JUST CHOSEN TO DO NOTHING. COINCIDENTALLY THIS ISSUE IS SO BAD THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. WE HAVE LITERALLY STOPPED DRIVING AT NIGHT TO AVOID HAVING A CRASH.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. THE ROADWAY IS NOT LIGHTED FOR MORE THAN 30 FEET. THIS PROBLEM HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES.THE HEADLIGHT IS DIM WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WORK JUST FINE.THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE MOISTURE HAS GOTTEN INTO THE ASSEMBLY UNIT. THAT IS A COST OF $1700, THAT IS NOT COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. CADILLAC HAS HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE. IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE BEING KILLED BEFORE CADILLAC WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2013 CADILLAC SRX FOR MY WIFE. HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE ON. PER LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER, REPAIR WILL BE OVER $1500 WITH NO GUARANTEE OF IMPROVED VISIBILITY. I WILL NOT ALLOW HER TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. I HAVE SINCE READ THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY CADILLAC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE BACKUP CAMERA AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CADILLAC OF KNOXVILLE, 10005 PARKSIDE DR, KNOXVILLE, TN) AND THE QUE PANEL WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM AT NIGHT. IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE THE LINES ON THE ROAD AND EVEN WORSE WHEN IT'S RAINING. I HAD TO USE HIGH BEAMS TO MAKE IT HOME IN THE RAIN.

DRIVING WITH THE LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT IS LIKE DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS ON, VERY DIM AND DANGERIOUS AT NIGHT HAVE TO DRIVE WITH LIGHTS ON BRIGHT TO SEE, WHICH IS BAD FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC..WENT TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THAT THE ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AT 1100$ BUT WOULD NOT SAY THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE CUE PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - $1400 OUCH WON'T ALLOW ME TO DO ANYTHING ON IT NAV, PHONE, WEATHER, ETC. IN MOTION OR STATIONARY

I OWN A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING HOME ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2018 FROM AN OUT-OF-STATE TRIP. WE WERE TERRIFIED AS WE TRAVELED ON UNFAMILIAR ROADS AND IT BECAME DARK. WE DISCOVERED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SO DIM THAT WE HAD TO DRIVE SLOW AND/OR KEEP TURNING THE "BRIGHT" LIGHTS ON TO SEE THE ROAD. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THE HEADLIGHTS HAD "BURNED" OUT - THEN I DISCOVERED WHILE ON-LINE LOOKING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS AND COST ESTIMATES -THIS IS A NATIONAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I FEEL AS THOUGH "FRAUD" WAS PART OF THE "SALE" OF THIS VEHICLE! WE HAVE WORKED VERY HARD FOR 40 PLUS YEARS TO FINALLY PURCHASE A "NICE" VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND THAT GM FRAUDULENTLY SOLD THE CARS - KNOWING THERE WAS AN EXISTING PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. I WOULD HOPE THAT MY COMPLAINT, ALONG WITH THE COMPLAINTS OF HUNDREDS OF OTHERS, WILL PROMPT THE GOVERNMENT TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION CONCERNING THIS FRAUDULENT ACT. WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A "REWARD" FOR YEARS OF HARD WORK AND SACRIFICE - SEEMS NOW TO BE THE WAY AVERAGE AMERICANS ARE TREATED BY LARGE CORPORATIONS LIKE GM. MY GREATEST FEAR IS NO ONE WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS "FRAUD" - AND WE WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING - PLEASE.

WHEN USING LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT THEY ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND UNSAFE. WE OFTEN NEED TO DRIVE MUCH SLOWER THAN POSTED SPEED LIMIT DUE TO THE INADEQUATE HEADLIGHTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY CADILLAC SERVICE CENTER AND DESCRIBED THE HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE RIDICULOUS! I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CHILD TO SCHOOL IN THE EARLY MORNING BEFORE THE SUN RISES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE YJAT CADILLAC IS WELL AWARE OF, YET THEY DO NOTHING! I GUESS THEY WILL WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED AND ATE IN COURT BEFORE THEYBRECALL THEIR CRAPPY ' HIGH END' VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CADILLAC USER EXPERIENCE (CUE) TOUCH SCREEN FAILED TO FUNCTION. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE THE TOUCH SCREEN FUNCTION, IT WAS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO THE INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE CUE SYSTEM. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO USE SPECIFIC ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS THE DEFROSTER, WHICH HAD TO BE MANUALLY SELECTED FROM THE CUE TOUCH SCREEN. THE DEALER (GROSS CHEVROLET BUICK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF NEILLSVILLE, 404 E DIVISION ST, NEILLSVILLE, WI 54456, 1-(715) 743-3207) SUGGESTED HAVING CUE CUSTOMER CARE ASSIST WITH THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALER REGARDING THE REPAIR COST. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR. THE CUE MANUFACTURER, DEALER, AND THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO REPLACE THE CUE TOUCH SCREEN. THE PART WAS NOT REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

I HAVE A 2013 SRX WITH THE EXTERNAL HEADLIGHT ISSUE OF VERY DANGEROUSLY DIM LIGHTING ON LOW BEAM. I CAN BARELY SEE A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME ON LOW BEAM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO FIX. I HAVE CALLED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO FIX. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. IT LOOKS AS IF IT WILL TAKE THE DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR SEVERAL BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.

AT ALL TIMES MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM AND WHEN I FIRST START MY VEHICLE MY HEADLIGHTS STROBE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AS WELL AS CADILLAC AND BOTH TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE FIXED AS A RECALL/SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN OPERATING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT I MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS, IT'S AS IF MY LOW BEAMS AREN'T ON AT ALL. MY PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 80,000 AND NOW AT 91,000 MY HEADLIGHTS ARE USELESS.

FAULTY HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2013 CADILLAC SRX. HEADLIGHTS (ON LOW BEAM SETTING) ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM AND DO NOT ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AHEAD.

THE CUE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. LOOKING AT BLOGS IT SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING ISSUE THAT CADILLAC NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

THE CUE SYSTEM STOPED WORKING WITH THE TOUGH SCREEN AND ITS NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO SET UP HANDS FREE DRIVING.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE UNREASONABLY DIM AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. LESS THAN 5 FEET OF VISIBILITY. CAR CAN'T BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LOW OUTPUT OF LIGHT. ABSTAINING FROM DRIVING AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND GETTING SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS. THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. SOMEONE IS WELCOME TO COME AND VISIT AND DO A DRIVE WITH US AT NIGHT.

COMPLAINT INVOLVING DIM HEADLIGHTS - POOR LIGHTING. MY 2013 CADILLAC HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM WITH VERY LOW VISIBILITY AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. WE ARE UNABLE TO CLEARLY SEE ANY OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WERE TOLD IT NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL HAVE TO PAY $2000 FOR REPAIR. AFTER RESEARCHING FURTHER, OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUE AND CONFESSED THAT REPAIR IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX - THERE IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF THE SEAL AROUND THE LIGHT FIXTURE WHICH ALLOWS CONDENSATION INSIDE THE BULB. WE CALLED GM AND THEY BOLDLY TOLD US NO WARRANTY, NO REPAIR. WHAT ABOUT SAFETY??!!!! THERE ARE APPARENTLY SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT - THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABILITY FOR FAULTY PRODUCTS THAT IS LIFE THREATENING. CONGRESS HAS TO GET INVOLVED!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BRIGHT AND THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE USED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT CHANGING THE LIGHT BULBS WOULD ONLY BE A TEMPORARY REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MOISTURE ENTERED THE HEADLAMPS, WHICH CAUSED A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

BOUGHT A 2013SRX ( USED)LOW BEAMS ARE VERY DIM . CANNOT TELL THEY ON ON AT NIGHT . HIGH BEAMS GREAT . 53000 MILES ON VEHICLE . I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

JUST PURCHASED A 2013 CADILLAC. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE BUT ALMOST CRASHED THE FIRST TIME I DROVE IT AT NIGHT. CANNOT SEE WITH HEADLIGHTS ON DIM. HELP PLEASE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAD TO DRIVE AT AN UNSAFE SLOW SPEED QUITE A DISTANCE TO GET WHERE I COULD PULL OVER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. DANGEROUS! WHEN YOU DIM YOUR HEADLIGHTS THEY BARLEY SHINE AT ALL. LOOKS AS IF THEY AREN'T ON. STOPPING AND HAVING TO BRAKE IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SAFELY NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BUICK GMC CADILLAC FORT WALTON BEACH (329 MIRACLE STRIP PKWY SW, FORT WALTON, FL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMP HARNESS WAS INADEQUATE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED A DISCOUNT FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

HEAD LAMPS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SEEM VERY DIM. ALMOST TO THE POINT THAT I WONDER IF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE EVEN ON. HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR AT NIGHT AND ALSO CAME BACK TO ME AND ASKED IF I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEADLIGHTS DUE TO THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (RON CARTER AUTOLAND, 3205 FM 528 RD, ALVIN, TX 77511, (281) 331-3111) AND WAS REFERRED TO AN UNKNOWN CADILLAC DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED THE LOW BEAMS ON MY VEHICLE ARE VERY DIM. THEY ARE SO DIM I HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF MY VEHICLE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE EVEN ON. THEY ARE ON BUT I CANNOT SEE MORE THAN 5FT IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS HOW DIM THEY ARE. SOMETIMES I TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE AT NIGHT BUT THIS IS ALSO DANGEROUS TO OTHER DRIVERS.

THE LIFT GATE WILL NOT OPEN DUE TO THE CONTROL MODULE SHORT CIRCUITIING. THIS WAS DUE TO WATER BACKING UP FROM THE SUNROOF DRAIN HOSE WHICH SEEPED INTO THE TRUNK AREA AND SHORTED OUT THE LIFTGATE CONTROL BOX.

EVER SINCE WE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DIM. I HAD REPLACED THE BULBS AND IT DID NOT HELP. DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE OVER 1500 TO FIX AND IT WAS NOT COVERED. I CANT AFFORD THAT SO I TOLD MY WIFE WE JUST WILL NOT TRY TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. ON THE 3RD OF JULY MY WIFE HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE STORE BECAUSE I WAS NOT HOME. I TOLD HER PLEASE BE CAREFUL. WHEN COMING INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SHE MISCALCULATED A RIGHT TURN AND RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE DRAINAGE DITCH. SHE WAS SHAKEN UP BUT NOT HURT. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE DITCH BUT MESSED THE CAR UP PRETTY BAD. SHE SAID SHE SIMPLY COULD NOT SEE THE TURN BECAUSE OF THE HEADLIGHTS BEING TO DIM. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MY DEALERSHIP BEFORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SAID IT IS NOT COVERED SO THE COST WOULD BE 1500 PLUS. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY HAZARD THE ONLY WAY WE CAN SEE IS IF WE HAVE THE BRIGHTS ON. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS MODE OF VEHICLE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

HEAD LIGHTS NO LONGER PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS.

I HAVE A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. I HAVE HAD IT EXACTLY A YEAR FROM JUNE 30 2017-JUNE 30TH 2018. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT. WHEN YOU GO FROM BRIGHT TO DIM ITS LIKE CUTTING OFF YOUR HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. I TOOK OFF WORK ONE DAY TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TRIED THERE BEST NOT TO WORK ON IT. THEY HAD EVERY EXCUSE. THEY FIRST WANTED ME TO TRADE MY CAR IN FOR ANOTHER AND THIS TOOK 2 HOURS AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY 10,000 EXTRA TO WHAT I ALREADY OWE ON THE CAR I BOUGHT FROM THEM THE FIRST TIME. THEN I TELL THEM I WANT MY CAR FIXED. SO THEY SEND ME TO ANOTHER EMPLOYEE . HE TRYING HIS BEST TO FIND ANY EXCUSE TO NOT BE ABLE TO WORK ON IT. NEEDLESS TO REMIND U I PURCHASED A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I PAID AN EXTRA $2,400. SO THE EMPLOYEE IS TELLING ME IT DOES NOT COVER THE BUMPER IT ONLY COVERS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BETWEEN THE BUMPER. SO I WAS LIED TO WHEN I BOUGHT THE WARRANTY. BESIDES THAT HE THEN TELLS ME THAT IT WILL BE $150 JUST TO CHECK MY HEADLIGHTS EVEN TO HE ALREADY CHECKED WITH ANOTHER SRX AND SAID THAT THEY WHERE REALLY DIM COMPARED TO THE OTHER USED SRX. BUT HE WANT TO CHARGE ME $150 JUST TO CHECK FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND CHARGE ME $21 A BULB. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAITED ANOTHER 2 HOURS I WAS THERE FOR 4 HOURS AND NOBODY TRIED TO FIX NOTHING.

THE CADILLAC CUE (INFORMATION/NAVIGATION/AIR CONDITION SYSTEM) DEVELOPED SPIDER WEB TYPE CRACKS INSIDE THE SCREEN; THIS MAKES IT HARD TO SEE OR USE CONTROL FEATURES. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ONE PERSON HAS ONLY 19,000 MILES AND HAS THE WEB LIKE CRACKS. IT WAS 90 WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR AND SAW A FEW OF THESE CRACKS (THESE CRACKS ARE SMOOTH TO TOUCH ON SCREEN), BUT A WEEK LATER IT'S GOTTEN BIGGER. A SOURCE SAYS IT'S A FACTORY DEFECT, AND THAT THE CRACKS ARE THER GLUE OR ADHESIVE HAS DISSIPATED, AND IS DETACHING THE SCREEN FROM THE ACTUAL COMPONENT. I HAVE 44,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE ... IT STAYS UNDER THE CARPORT, BUT IS STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND POSTING PICTURES ON GENERAL MOTORS DISCUSSION THREAD, ONE WOULD THINK SOMETHING WOULD'VE GOTTEN DONE. AS STATED BEFORE, IT WAS A SMALL LINE AND IT'S CONSTANTLY SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE CADILLAC CUE SCREEN. IT'S A SIMPLE ISSUE, BUT SHOULD CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER? HERE IS THE LINK WITH OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THER SAME THING. HTTPS://WWW.CADILLACFORUM.COM/FORUM/CADILLAC-SRX-10/CUE-SCREEN-SPIDER-WEBBING-16740/

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CADILLAC USER EXPERIENCE (CUE) SCREEN WAS CRACKED. AS A RESULT, THE VARIOUS FUNCTIONS THAT THE CUE SCREEN CONTROLLED WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE AT A GOODYEAR REPAIR FACILITY. THE GOODYEAR TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000.

UNSAFE DEFECTED HEADLIGHTS. TODAY, I HAD A TECH AT CLAUDE NOLAN CADILLAC JACKSONVILLE, FL CHECK THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE CUE-SYSTEM ON MY 2013 SRX MODEL. THE TECH-ADVISER INFORMED ME THAT I NEED HEADLAMPS THAT COST $1200 EACH AND THREE DOWNLOADS TO FIX THE CUE TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM ISSUE. WHAT? THESE ISSUES ARE WELL DOCUMENTED AS ONGOING ISSUES. WHY ARE WE...THE CUSTOMERS ADDRESSING GENERAL MOTORS (GM) NOTED DEFECT/ISSUE SURROUNDING THE SRX 2013 MODEL? I WILL USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO INFORM FOLKS AND POTENTIAL BUYERS TO BEWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. GM IS NOT BEING ACCOUNTABLE NOR RESPONSIBLE. THE SRX 2013 MODEL IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO THEIR HEADLIGHTS: A RECALL IS NEEDED FOR THIS DEFECT (THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO). BUYERS BEWARE OF ANY OTHER GM-CADILLAC MODELS; NOT TO MENTION THE CADILLAC-CUE SYSTEM EXPERIENCE THAT FREEZE OR CYCLE AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT TOUCH. AS A CONSUMER, I SUPPORTED GM-AMERICAN CARS (NOT AFTER THIS). REMEMBER GM, YOU CAN MEASURE LOST REVENUE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE UNREASONABLY DIM. THIS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND ON MANY INTERNET SITES. GENERAL MOTORS IS TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE REVIEWING A RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME I AM DRIVING AND INCREDIBLY UNSAFE VEHICLE. IT IS IN THE SHOP CURRENTLY FOR OTHER REASONS, AND I'M DRIVING A 2015 LONER AND THE DIFFERENCE IN THE LOW BEAM BRIGHTNESS IS MORE THAN SIGNIFICANT. THIS IS A VERY STRONG SAFETY ISSUE. AND GENERAL MOTORS CAN'T SERIOUSLY EXPECT SOMEONE TO PAY 1500 TO $2,000 IN REPAIRS FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER GO OUT. IT'S THEIR FAULT AND THEY KNOW IT.

I HAVE A 2013 CADILLAC SRX WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW DO I JOIN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT?

TIMING CHAIN IS DAMAGED AND THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 77,000 MILES. IT STARTED HAVING PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 66,000 MILES. THE DEALER CHOSE TO JUST MONITOR AND NOW MIRACULOUSLY ONCE I HAVE NO WARRANTY, THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR IS NOISY WHILE RUNNING.

HEADLIGHTS WHEN IN STANDARD ON, NOT BRIGHTS, NOT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, ARE VERY DIM. ONLY HAVE ABOUT 5 FEET OF VISIBILITY. WE HAVE HAD THE DEALER TWICE DO A FULL EVALUATION, AND ACCORDING TO GM/CADILLAC EVERYTHING CHECKS, VOLTAGES, ETC. IF EVERYTHING CHECKS, THEY WHY ARE THE LIGHTS TOO DIM? THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING SINCE THERE IS NOTHING IN THEIR (GM/CADILLAC) SYSTEM FOR PROBLEMS. WE USE THOMSON MACCONNELL CADILLAC IN CINCINNATI, OH. THEY ARE FOLLOWING THEIR DIRECTIONS AND WILL NOT DO ANY MORE IN ASSISTING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS, NO ANYTHING FOR CORRECTION. THERE ARE HOWEVER, SEVERAL LAWSUITS BEING BROUGHT AGAINST GM FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT REFUSE TO DRIVE THEIR SRX AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LOW OUTPUT OF LIGHT. WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO PARK IT AT NIGHT AND DRIVE OUR OTHER CAR. THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR THE TWO YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. IF WE CAN'T USE IT WHEN EVER WE WOULD LIKE TO USE, THEN THE PROBLEM NEEDS FIXED BEFORE THERE ARE ACCIDENTS AND MAYBE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT TILL THAT HAPPENS. THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. SOMEONE IS WELCOME TO COME AND VISIT AND DO A DRIVE WITH US AT NIGHT.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN AUGUST, 2017. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LOW BEAMS BEING DIM. DOES GM PLAN TO REPLACE THESE BULBS? I CANNOT DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF ACCIDENT, HITTING A DEER OR SOMEONE NOT SEEING MY VEHICLE.

THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM.THIS IS AN ONGOING DAILY ISSUE. THE ISSUE CANNOT BE REMEDIED BY CHANGING THE BULBS ALONE. THERE IS VERY NOW VISIBILITY AT NIGHT UNLESS THE HIGH BEAMS ARE USED WHICH DISTRACTS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED IN ALL DRIVING SETTINGS, CITY, HIGHWAY, COUNTRY ROADS. IT IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN DRIVING IN DIMLY LIT COUNTRY ROADS.
