2013 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

WEATHER SEALS APPEAR TO ERODE PREMATURELY, WHICH MAY ALLOW MOISTURE TO ENTER THE HEADLIGHT CASING AND CAUSE THE BULB TO FLICKER, DIM OR BURN OUT ENTIRELY. THE REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS ALSO USE THE SAME DESIGN WHICH RESULTS IN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE EVEN FOR FAULTY REPLACEMENT LIGHTS.

TOUCH SCREEN HAS DEVELOPED A SPIDER WEB THAT MAKES THE TOUCH SCREEN USELESS. THIS SCREEN WAS REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AT 50,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 103,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THIS WOULD BE $1000. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE MANY OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF THE CADDILAC SRX.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM LEAKING PLUS REAR AXLE NOISES WHILE DRIVING ON 295 HWY LOST POWER FROM GEARS STARTED LOCKING UP

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED AND DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AT NIGHT MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHT DO DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING OR STATIONARY AND ALL THE BULBS WORK PROPERLY.

LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL DUE TO TOE-LINK ADJUSTMENT FAILURE. FOR MONTHS BEFORE THE LOSS OF CONTROL INCIDENT, THE REAR OF THE 2013 CADILLAC SRX WOULD WOBBLE SLIGHTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50+ MPH). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE CADILLAC DEALER DID A VISUAL INSPECTION BUT SAW NO OBVIOUS PROBLEMS AND SPECULATED THE CAR WAS FOLLOWING THE ROAD RUTS OF WORN PAVEMENT. ON A HIGH SPEED DIVIDED HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXITED A BRIDGE SECTION FOR REGULAR PAVEMENT AND THE STEERING WHEEL COCKED ABOUT FIVE DEGREES TO THE LEFT BUT THE WHEELS REMAINED POINTED STRAIGHT. A CALL WAS PLACED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM EXAMINED. RETURNING TO THE SAME HIGHWAY AN HOUR LATER IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, ACCELERATION ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP (DOWNHILL) AT ABOUT 40 MPH CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHICH DARTED BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE COULD BE SLOWED TO A STOP AND DID NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR THE GUARDRAIL. THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS AT AN EXTREME ANGLE OF CAMBER WITH THE TOP OF THE WHEEL INWARD TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THE LEFT TOE LINK ADJUSTMENT PART WAS APPARENTLY WORN ON THE THREADS. BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT PARTS WERE REPLACED.

THE CUE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS NO LONGER OPERABLE. THE SCREEN HAS A WEBBING EFFECT WHICH IS CALLED DELAMINATION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SCREEN BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN MONTHS AFTER MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. MY VEHICLE WAS AT ARNIE BAUER GMC/BUICK & CADILLAC AUGUST 2018 WHEN THE SCREEN CRACKED. I WAS GETTING MY BATTERY LOOKED AT. I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK AND SAW THE WEBBING IN THE SCREEN. SERVICE CLAIMED THEY WHERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT VERIFY THAT THE SCREEN WAS NOT LIKE THAT BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN. IN AUGUST OF 2020 THE SCREEN STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER HANDS FREE. I CAN NOT PAIR MY PHONE VIA BLUETOOTH AND THEREFORE CANNOT ANSWER OR MAKE ANY CALLS WITHOUT TOUCHING THE PHONE. ADDITIONALLY I CAN NOW ONLY CONTROL CLIMATE FUNCTIONS THAT HAVE A DEDICATED BUTTON NOT ON THE SCREEN. I'M NOT ABLE TO EASILY CHANGE A RADIO STATION OR ACCESS ANY OF THE SETTINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CUE SCREEN. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS WILL AFFECT OTHER FUNCTIONS IN THIS CENTER UNIT BUT BELIEVE IT WILL OR WHY ELSE WOULD GM INSIST THAT THE WHOLE UNIT BE REPLACED. MY CAR IS NOT ONLY MY TRANSPORTATION BUT IT IS ALSO MY LIVELIHOOD. I WILL NOT PAY $1500 -2000 TO FIX GM'S FAULTY EQUIPMENT. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY KNOW IT'S FAULTY.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE 6 MONTHS AGO. I NEVER OWNED A CADILLAC AND I REALLY LOVE IT BUT THERE ISN'T ALOT OF LEG ROOM IN THE BACK SEAT AND ITS HARD TO SEE THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS BEING 6'4 THE WAY THE WINDOW IS SHAPED I HAVE TO HUNCH TO THE SIDE AND LOOK UP. MY MAIN PROBLEM IS THE TOUCH SCREEN FROM THE CUE APPLICATIONS. IT DOESN'T REGISTER MY TOUCH SO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS TO CHANGE ANYTHING. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT I DON'T THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULD GO OUT THAT FAST. I HAVE READ OTHER OWNERS STATING THE SAME THING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAUSE S PERSON SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS WHEN THERE IS A TOUCH SCREEN TO DO THAT. I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE THE NEWEST SOFTWARE AVAILABLE OR PUT A NEW UPDATED VERSION INSTEAD OF THE ONE THAT WAS FIRST PUT OUT. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER

FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS MY WIFE'S CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. WE HAVE HAD ALL BULBS REPLACED BY BILL CRAMER CHEVROLET IN PANAMA CITY FLORIDA. THE NEW BULBS WERE BETTER FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT NOW WHEN USING THE DIM HEADLIGHTS, YOU CANNOT EVEN TELL THEY ARE ON. THE BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS HAVE TO BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, OR YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING AT ALL. THIS IS A LAWSUIT AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I CAN DEFINITELY SEE MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE LIGHT HOUSING AND I THINK IT IS CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS.

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I REFUSE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IT IS DANGEROUS. I REALIZE THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ALREADY AND EVEN A FEW CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST GM. I JUST WANTED TO ADD ONE MORE

MY CADILLAC QUE SYSTEM ONLY RESPONDS TO TOUCH WHEN IT WANTS TO. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THE QUE SCREEN/SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF $1500. I CANNOT TURN MY A/C OFF OR USE NAVIGATION PLUS ANY FEATURE ON THE HOME SCREEN. VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMEN PROBLEM. RECALL TIME!!!💩
