2013 Cadillac SRX complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DORMAN CADILLAC GMC (1000 INTERSTATE DR, DUNN, NC) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I NOTICED THE DIM LIGHTING ON LOW NEAM AND TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. I HAD HIM REPLACE THE BULBS. THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE BULBS AND ONLY HELPED MINIMALLY. I THE WENT TO CADIILAC DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE LIGHTING HARNESSES. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY CASES AND THE DEALER HAS MANY OF THE CASES DOCUMENTED. IN FACT, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT SERVICE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CASE #

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON CONTINUOUSLY AT NIGHT. WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC SIGNALS ME BY BLINDING ME, I SWITCH TO DIMS AND HAVE TO GUESS AT WHERE THE ROAD IS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN WHILE STILL UNDER BASIC WARRANTY. PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. I EVEN PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NO HELP THERE EITHER. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT. NO WAY I CAN LET MY KIDS USE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT IS EXTREMELY DIM. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACE BOTH LOW BEAM BULBS. BOTH SIDES REMAINED DIM , BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE BARELY SHOWS UP AGAINST THE WALL. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DO ANY MORE INVESTIGATION AND SAID THAT THE CADILLAC SRX IS NOTORIOUS FOR DIM HEADLIGHTS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE HER OWN CAR AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF RUNNING OFF THE ROAD

LIGHTS ON DIM ARE SO DIM YOU CAN BARELY SEE. PROBLEM WITH SEALS IN LIGHT ASSEMBLY. HAVING TO REPLACE BUT UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A FLAW IN THE SRX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO PUT ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT, IT WOULD NOT LATCH. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT FAILURE WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. THE DEALER (CREST CADILLAC, 2121 ROSA L PARKS BLVD, NASHVILLE, TN 37228) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF THE REPAIR COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND AGREED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE SEAT WARMER IN MY VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED A FIRE IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT. I WAS NOT DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I USED THE AUTO START FEATURE TO TURN ON THE CAR SO I COULD CLEAR THE SNOW FROM MY CAR. WHEN I GOT IN MY VEHICLE, I SAT DOWN AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS MY SEAT THAT WAS ON FIRE.I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BY PATTING THE FLAMES WITH MY GLOVED HANDS BEFORE THE FIRE GOT OUT OF CONTROL. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATE OFFICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS CONCLUDED THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGES NOR WILL THEY ISSUE A RECALL OR WARNING TO OTHER CONSUMERS OF THIS DEFECT. SINCE THIS HAPPENED TO ME I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE OTHER VICTIMS OF THE SAME ISSUE. IN INDIANA, ANOTHER FAMILY HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM AND LIKE ME CADILLAC GENERAL MOTORS IS NOT TAKING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY. I BELIEVE THAT CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE MADE AWARE OF THIS RISK AND SHOULD CADILLAC ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALLOWING THESE TRAGIC SITUATIONS TO CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT INJURED. SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

THE 3 TO 4 SECOND LAG IN ACCELERATION HAS RETURNED. DEALER WILL DO NOTHING BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ANOTHER RECALL

NOTICE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WERE HORRIBLE AT NIGHT. CHECK EVERYTHING AND NOTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH REFLECTOR. TODAY TOOK THE SRX TO CADILLAC DEALER AS PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRENTY. DEALER NOTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT WARRENTY WOULD NOT COVER REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY AS NEEDED. WAS ADVISED THE COST TO REPLACE THE PAIR WOULD BE 1700.00 NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT HAVE THE WORK DONE. IT IS AN EXTREME NIGHT TIME DRIVING HAZARD AND A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.

LOW BEAMS ON HEADLIGHTS PROVIDE EXTREMELY POOR ILLUMINATION PRODUCING BARELY 10-15' BARELY LIT ROADWAY. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEM BY VISUAL OBSERVATION BUT SAYS 'COMPUTER' SAYS ACCEPTABLE. CHECKED INTERNET AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON 2013 AND 2014 MODELS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON DARK ROADS WITH LITTLE OR NO STREET LIGHTING. HELP

IN MANY WEBSITES, PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THAT CADILLACS SRX IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT NIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A VERY POOR HEADLIGHT LIGHTING. THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM; THE DRIVER CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD. I JUST SPENT $70.00 REPLACING THE BULBS FOR BRIGHTER BULBS, AND IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. IT SEEMED LIKE THE CAR IS RUNNING ON DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS AT NIGHT. THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE REVIEW HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE ON THIS WEBSITE; HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/CADILLAC/SRX/2010/

CAN NOT SEE WITH LOW BEAMS AT NIGHT. ALSO, THE SCREEN FREEZES ON THE "CUE" DISPLAY

A DIM HEADLIGHT ISSUE EXISTS WITH THE SRX. A CADILLAC SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME PART OF THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LENS AND AN OVAL PART OF THE LENS GETS CLOUDED AND DOESN'T PROJECT LIGHT CORRECTLY. THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHEN POSSIBLE TO SEE. USING THE HIGH BEAMS CAN IMPAIR THE VISION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, SO I HAVE TO USE THEM CAUTIOUSLY. THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2011 AND GM HAS NOT INFORMED THE OWNERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CADILLAC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND TO REQUEST HELP IN GETTING THIS ISSUE RECTIFIED. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF $1600 TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMERS. GM SHOULD BE CONCERNED THAT THIS DEFECT INCREASES THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THESE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS, I AM REQUESTING INTERVENTION AND ASSISTANCE FOR ME AND OTHER OWNERS OF THE SRX TO GET OUR VEHICLES REPAIRED EITHER FREE OF CHARGE OR AT A REASONABLE PRICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOUR AGENCY SOON.

IN 2016 THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO DIM. THE BEAMS BECAME SO BAD IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE HEADLAMP HOUSING BUBBLED CAUSING IT TO OBSTRUCT THE BEAM. IN OUR CASE IT WAS LIKE AN UPPER EYELID CLOSING OVER THE EYE. THE HEADLAMPS HAD TO BE REPLACED.

CADILLAC CUE TOUCHSCREEN IS INOPERABLE. VEHICLE HAS 31,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ACCORDING TO WEB SEARCHES, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CUE. THE TOUCHSCREEN IS NON-RESPONSIVE TO TOUCH INTERFACE FOR VARIOUS AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS WHICH COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. SUCH AS DEFOGGING OR DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD. SYSTEMS SUCH AS NAVIGATION, INTERIOR CLIMATE CONTROL, MEDIA CONTROLS, BLUETOOTH CONTROLS, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC CONTROLS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY $2500 (CADILLAC QUOTE) TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ITEM FOR THE YEAR MODEL.

OUR LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE DIM. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY 2015, THEN LEFT THE AREA. WE TOOK IT IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE THREE MONTHS LATER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THEM. WE WERE UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FOR 50,000 MILES. WE WERE TOLD THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. WE TOOK IT IN TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS AS WE TRAVELED AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. AFTER 9 DIFFERENT TIMES OVER 2 1/2 YEARS, WE FINALLY INSISTED THEY BE CHECKED, AFTER OUR WARRANTY HAD RECENTLY EXPIRED. THEN THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAULT WITH THE LAMPS AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF $1,100. WE CONTACTED GM WITH OUR COMPLAINT. THE BEST THEY WILL DO IS INSTALL THEM FOR FREE, BUT WE HAVE TO PAY OVER $800 FOR NEW LAMPS. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTING BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MANY. WE LITERALLY CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT OR BEFORE DAYLIGHT WITHOUT USING OUR HIGH BEAMS. WE NOW WILL REPLACE THEM OURSELVES WITH AFTER MARKET PARTS BUT THAT'S NOT A GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WE SAW A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE. WHAT MAKES US ANGRY IS THAT WE WERE LITERALLY BLOWN OFF WITH OUR COMPLAINT 9 TIMES AT VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS (ATTACHMENT HAS ALL THESE DOCUMENTED) BEFORE A DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD JUST DIAGNOSED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER CUSTOMER AFTER SHE INSISTED THE SERVICE ADVISOR DRIVE IT HOME ONE NIGHT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT. WE ASSURE YOU, CADILLAC IS AWARE OF IT. THERE ARE A LOT OF US DRIVING UNSAFELY. WE TRY TO AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT OR DUSK BU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 13 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND THE ELECTRIC SEATS AND GPS DID NOT WORK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KING O'ROURKE GMC BUICK, CADILLAC IN SMITHTOWN, NY, 631-724-4700) WHERE THE FAILURES WERE REPAIRED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE POWER LIFTGATE DID NOT WORK. THE SAME DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 3, 2017. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE CONTACT WAS ISSUED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. .*BF CONSUMER STATED WATER DAMAGE IN CAR DUE TO FAILED SUNROOF DRAINS. FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER CARPET AND WATER IN TRUNK. UPDATED 8/6/18*JB

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN DIM FROM THE TIME WE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT HAVE BECOME DIMMER OVER THE PAST MONTHS. IT IS HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT ON A WELL LIT STREET AND JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE ON A DARK NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. I FEEL THE NEED TO DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME NOW.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. TWO VEHICLES HAVE ALMOST HIT ME DUE TO THE LAG IN ACCERLATION. I'VE SPOKEN WITH MY DEALERSHIP SEVERAL OF TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY DO NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY SUV AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS STATING IT WAS FIXED PROPERLY. I CURRENTLY GO THROUGH 13 MILES PER GALLON WHICH IS NOT NORMAL.

THE COMPUTER ON THE DASH THAT CONTROLLS THE BACK UP CAM RADIO ETC. HAS BEEN REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BEGAN CRACKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. CADILLAC WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THE PART WILL NOT FAIL A 3RD TIME. TOLD MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

HEADLIGHTS TOO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT UNLESS HIGH-BEAMS ARE USED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY WANTED $1800 TO CHANGE BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. APPARENTLY THE BULB REFLECTORS HAD DISCOLORED AND REDUCED THE LIGHT OUTPUT.

I PURCHASED A 2013 SRX USED IN JANUARY OF 2017 AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TODAY BEING THE LATEST, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT 4-WAY INTERSECTIONS, WHEN I TRY TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND MOVE INTO THE INTERSECTION THE CAR COASTS WITHOUT POWER AND LEAVES ME STRANDED FOR A FEW SECONDS. WITH THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN BOLTS FORWARD CAUSING THE VEHICLE "PEEL OUT". BEING STRANDED IN THE INTERSECTION IS SCARY AND I AM AFRAID I WILL BE HIT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ON A CONSISTENT BASIS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. I SEE ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL OTHER CONCERNS THAT SOUND VERY SIMILAR TO THIS.

PURCHASED CAR 1 YEAR AGO AND CANT DRIVE IT WHEN ITS DARKOUT DUE TO POOR HEADLIGHT VISABILITY ON LOW BEAM, HIGHBEAMIS REALLY GOOD, LOW BEAM IS LIKE YOU DONT HAVE HEAD LIGHTS ON. DROVE IT AT 5 AM AND ALMOST WRECKED TWICE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD WHERE I WAS DRIVING. SECOND ISSUE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR BUT IT CAME UP THAT I HAD NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME. NHSTA 14132 GM 14132. DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME BUT FREQUENTLY LIKE THIS AM WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT, HAS DONE THIS ALSO SINCE I BOUGHT CAR A YEAR AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE DEFOGGER FAILED TO OPERATE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TOUCH SCREEN IN THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH COLEMAN BUICK GMC CADILLAC (100 RENAISSANCE BLVD, LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ 08648 (609) 482-3473). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

HEADLIGHTS DO NOT EMIT ENOUGH LIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO VIEW THE ROADS DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. WARRANTY WONT COVER TO FIX ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THE CAR TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WITH NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING HE BECAME AWARE OF AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT WITHIN 46,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THAT THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED TEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COULTER CADILLAC TEMPE (LOCATED AT 7780 S AUTOPLEX LOOP, BUILDING 200, TEMPE, AZ 85284, (480) 305-0876) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY OR THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE FRONT SUSPENSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,077.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO SUGGESTED THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGE OVER $2000.00 TO CORRECT THIS AND IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT REPLACING THESE LIGHTS WITH THE SAME LIGHTS WILL REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS NEEDS GOVERNMENT ACTION OR PEOPLE WILL GET HURT.

HEADLAMPS (LOW BEAM ONLY) ARE TOO DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IN AREAS WHERE THE ROADS ARE NOT WELL LIT DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS ON IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WE HAVE AVOIDED DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WITH HIGH BEAMS ON (WHICH BECOMES DANGEROUS FOR OTHER DRIVERS). WE REPORTED THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY TO CADILLAC VIA A PHONE CALL AND WAS TOLD TO SEE A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP (MASSEY CADILLAC OF NORTH ORLANDO) INFORMED US THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLAMPS PROJECTOR BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. THE HEADLAMPS CANNOT BE FIXED, ONLY REPLACED. REPLACING THE HEADLAMPS WOULD COST JUST OVER $1,000.00. WE FEEL CADILLAC HAS A DEFECT IN THERE HEADLAMPS AND IS MAKING NO EFFORT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE AS TO WHY CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL OR HELP CUSTOMERS WITH OUT-OF-DATE WARRANTIES. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LOW BEAM GETTING TO HOT AND CREATING DISTORTION OR A BUILD-UP IN THE PROJECTOR. WE CAN TAKE PHOTOS IF NEEDED, BUT FELT IT MIGHT BE HARD TO TELL WHAT'S GOING ON VIA A PHOTO.

THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAD NO POWER TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE CAR WASN'T RUNNING. I HAD HIT THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO POWER BRAKE. THEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE. MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WAS BAD.

THE CADILLAC CUE SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING,IT IS COMPLETELY FROZEN. I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE CLIMATE NOR HOT OR COLD, NOT ABLE TO DEFROST MY CAR. THE SCREEN DEFECT CAN CAUSE OR COULD LEAD TO THE LOSS OF VENTILATION CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MOST CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY AS I WAS TURNING MY CAR ON TO HEAD HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED THE SCREEN WAS NOT FUNCTIONING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,400.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE REAR HATCH WAS OPEN, THE REAR HATCH CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE THE HATCH CLOSED COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND REPAIR APPOINTMENT WERE SCHEDULED WITH RILEY CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC (LOCATED AT 2033 CHRISTY DR, JEFFERSON, MO 65101 (573) 298-6142) FOR JUNE 7, 2017. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,500. UPDATED 07/19/17*LJ *JS

DISPLAY STATES: SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM, REAR AXLE, AND A WARNING BELL SOUNDS CONTINUOUSLY. HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, BOTH INCIDENTS ON A LONG TRIP. ON STAR SAID, ON FIRST OCCASION, TO TURN OFF VEHICLE AND COMPUTER MAY RESET ITSELF. IT DID. ON SECOND OCCASION, WOULD NOT RESET AND NOW HAVE HUMMING FROM FRONT END

ACCELERATION TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO CATCH UP. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSSED TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. HOWEVER, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION LAGGING.

CUE PROBLEMS. THE TOUCHSCREEN GOES BLACK OR FREEZES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. ALSO THE MIDDLE BOTTOM SECTION DOES NOT RESPOND AFFECTING HEATING/AC FUNCTIONS.

CUE SYSTEM FROZE. UNABLE TO CONTROL RADIO, NAVIGATION SYSTEM, HEATER, A/C, HANDS FREE PHONE, ETC. WENT ON A CADILLAC FORUM AND WAS ABLE TO RESET IT ONE TIME AND THEN QUIT WORKING AGAIN AFTER A FEW. I WAS UNABLE TO RESET IT A SECOND TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ALL HAPPENED AT 52,000 MILES 2,000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY CLOSE TO $2,000 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM AND SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND OBSERVED THAT THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

CUE SYSTEM FROZE UP, NO RESPONSE FROM TOUCH SCREEN, VSS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ON, SEAT HEATERS DO NOT WORK. THUS NO ABILITY TO CONTROL HEATER OR DEFROST SYSTEM AND OWNERS MANUAL INDICATED THAT IF THE VSS LIGHT IS LIT THE VSS SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIONAL. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE IN MICHIGAN IN THE WINTER WITH OUT CONTROL OF THE DEFROSTER AND SINCE THE VSS SYSTEM IS TIED IN TO THE BRAKES I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WILL FUNCTION. VEHICLE PURCHASED 6-29-13 AND HAS APPROX 37,000 MILES. DEALER OFFERED TO REPAIR FOR $1750.00 BUT NEGOTIATED TO $750.00 I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT ON A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 5 "SERVICE UPDATE BULLETINS " WITH SOFTERWARE UPDATED FOR THE CUE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE. SO CLEARLY THERE ARE ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THIS SYSTEM AND MY LATEST PROBLEM IMPACTS MY SAFETY WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTERTIME. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THES SOFTERWARECAND OPERATIONAL ISSUES TO PRESERVE DRIVER SAFETY WHILE USING THIS VEHICLE. IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE IN LATE AUGUST 2016 AND WHEN STARTED UP IN EARLY NOVEMBER THE CUE CONTROL SYSTEM SCREEN WAS UNRESPONSIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND STALLED. THE SPEEDOMETER REFLECTED 140 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY TRAVELING 65 MPH. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT AT THE DEALER FOR TWO MONTHS BEFORE BEING TAKEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,341. ..UPDATED 09/25/17 *BF MECHANICAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE: TRANSMISSION LAGGING, AND REVVING INADVERTENTLY.

INADVERTENT ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE, THE SPEEDOMETER READS THAT IT IS TRAVELING AT 160 MILES AN HOUR WHEN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES AND HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. SPEEDOMETER GAGE DOES NOT RESET AND VEHICLE ACCELERATES CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO LAG IN ITS ACCELERATION RESPONSE TIME. BACK UP GALLERY CAMERA ERROR WARNING CODES. GAS GAGE SHOWS EMPTY ALMOST EMPTY BY THE GAS TANK IS FULL. RMP SHOW 0 RPM WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. UPDATED 9/5/18*JB

AFTER 52000 MILES THE CUE TOUCH SCREEN DOES NOT WORK

CUE MALFUNCTIONING: I PURCHASED MY CAR TWO MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE PAST MONTH AFTER THE CUE QUIT RESPONDING. THE CADILLAC DEALER CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP BECAUSE CADILLAC DOES NOT MAKE THE CUE ANY MORE. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD THEM THAT I WAS TOLD TO "GET IN LINE BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE THAN 700 CUSTOMERS AHEAD OF YOU WITH THE SAME PROBLEM". REALLY? AND THAT'S JUST ONE SHOP! WE HAVE CALLED AROUND, NO ONE HAS THE OEM PARTS. THE ONLY OPTION IS A REFURBISHED UNIT. WE HAVE TRIED THAT, THE UNIT WAS DEFECTIVE. SO HERE I AM, STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CANNOT FULLY USE BECAUSE ALL OF THE SETTINGS ARE IN THE CUE. TO FIX THE ISSUE WILL COST $1,500 BUT THAT'S ONLY IF I CAN GET AROUND TO FIXING IT OR WHENEVER 700+ OTHER CUSTOMERS' CUES ARE FIXED... HOWEVER LONG THAT WILL TAKE!

CUE TOUCHSCREEN DOES NOT RESPOND. THIS CONTROLS YOUR RADIO, AC, DEFROSTER, NAVIGATION. AT 52,000 CADILLAC WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS. VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE CADILLAC FORUMS. THE RADIO CONTROL UNIT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED YET THE CADILLAC REPS SAY THIS IS THE FIRST WE HAVE HEARD OF IT. COMPLETELY DENYING THE PROBLEM

HAD TO REPLACE MY 2013 SRX BATTERY THEN NOT LONG AFTER MY CUE SYSTEM FROZE UP I TOOK IT TO CADILLAC DEALER AS IT CONTROLS HEAT/AIR/RADIO/ETC. ANOTHER MECHANIC THOUGHT AN UPDATE WOULD WORK BUT NOPE THE ONE GUY SAID CENTER STACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ANOTHER SAID HMI MODULE (SAME DEALERSHIP) A $1500.00 REPAIR BUT THEY CAN'T GET THE PART IT'S ON BACK -ORDER . CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V097000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADDILIAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR HEADLAMPS HAD NOT EMITTED ENOUGH LIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO VIEW THE ROADS DURING NIGHT TIME DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRES, SIZE: 235/55/R20. THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED ON APRIL 15, 2013. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES HAD TREAD SEPARATION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TREAD WAS SEPARATING IN CHUNKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE TIRES INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE TIRE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,600. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. PURCHASED NEW. WE ARE STILL WORKING FOR RESOLUTION TO THE TCM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RECALL- THE DEALER ORIGINALLY REPROGRAMMED THE TCM USING WRONG PROGRAM WHICH CAUSED A HUGE DELAY BETWEEN SHIFTS. IT WAS REPROGRAMED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, BUT NOW IS EXPERIENCING THE LAG WHEN THE CAR IS IN "ECO"MODE..OCCURS WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATES TO 10 MPH, BREAKS ARE APPLIED, THEN GO TO ACCELERATE AGAIN--THERE IS A HUGE LAG--NEARLY HIT TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. IN NORMAL MODE, THIS IS NOT AS PREVALENT, BUT IS NOT SHIFTING AS IT SHOULD. WITH THE REAR TOE NUT RECALL, THE DEALER TIGHTENED THE TOE NUTS.. THAT'S ALL THEIR NOTES STATE. WE TOOK THIS VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE A MULTITUDE OF ISSUE--ONE OF WHICH UNEVEN TIRE WEAR AND CHIPPING. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE REAR TOE WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT SUBSTANTIALLY.-- APPEARS THAT WHEN THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED, ALL THEY DID WAS TIGHTEN THE TOE ADJUSTS (EVEN IF IN ALIGNMENT OR NOT) IF YOU LOOK AT THE RECALL REPORT, GM AMENDED THE SOP FOR RESOLVING THIS ISSUE IN EARLY 2015 WITH ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF HOW TO PROPERLY TIGHTEN THE TOE--WE ASKED THAT GM REPLACE THESE BADLY WORN TIRES, BUT THEY DECLINED--THE CAR HAS 28,000 MILES, AND IT ALREADY NEEDS NEW TIRES... !? ON 12/5/15 WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE, I FOUND SOME BEARINGS IN THE DRIVERS FLOOR BOARD--ALONG WITH SOME WHITE PLASTIC THAT HOUSES THE BEARINGS--I GUESS IT CAME FROM THE SEAT TRACK?--TAKING IN TO DEALER TO EXAMINE. THE CAR ALSO HAS EVIDENCE OF POWER STEER

MOON ROOF DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS POORLY DESIGNED. DRAINAGE HOSE RUNS ALONGSIDE MOON ROOF THEN INSIDE CAR TO THE REAR TAILGATE AREA, DIRECTLY OVER LIFT GATE FUSE AND MODULE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IT HAS BACKED UP, LEAKED INTO LEFT REAR (DRIVER'S SIDE) FLOOR CAUSING CARPET TO GET WET. IT TENDS TO LEAK IN REAR TAILGATE AREA OVER THE FUSE PANEL AND LIFT GATE MODULE SHORTING OUT THE POWER OR AUTOMATIC TAILGATE FEATURE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM MORE THAN ONCE, INCLUDING REPLACING THE FUSES AND LIFT GATE MODULE. THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING. OTHER METHODS HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED AND TRIED TO ELIMINATE WETNESS AND ODOR FROM WINDOWS OPEN, DAMP RID, EVEN WET/DRY VACUUM. NOW THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE REPAIR BILL IS MINE TO SETTLE FOR A KNOWN CHRONIC PROBLEM AND POOR DESIGN.

THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP WHEN GOING UP A HILL IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NOR WOULD IT SHIFT AND WE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. IT LURCHED AS IF TRYING TO SHIFT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. IF WE HAD BEEN IN THE PASSING LANE ON AN INTERSTATE WHEN IT HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS SINCE WE LOST CONTROL OF OUR SPEED. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR IN NEUTRAL AFTER IT STOPPED. WE WERE TOWED TO A DEALER THE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM AND, AFTER DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM, WAS TOLD IMMEDIATELY WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO THE TRANSMISSION. CLEARLY, THIS WAS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROBLEM.
