2011 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

THERE IS WATER GETTING INTO THE LIGHTS IN MAKING THEM [XXX] AND NOT WORK VERY HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FAILING BRAKE PEDAL . BRAKE PEDAL MAY NOT RAISE OR SEEN STRUCK DOWN, HARD TO PRESS. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP REPLACE BRAKE PEDAL COST $1176. THAT CORRECTED PROBLEM. CALL CADILLAC TO EXPLAINED PROBLEM THEY EXPLAINED MY CADILLAC WASN'T COVER. BUT AFTER REVIEWING THE ONES SHOW UP WITH TSB NUMBER 2008,2009,2010,2012,2013,2014,2015 SRX MODEL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN MY CADILLAC DROP DOWN 40 SPEED DUE BRAKE PEDAL PROBLEM ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. LUCKY I WAS ABLE PULL ON SIDE OF ROAD

THE HEADLIGHTS NEVER HAVE WORKED RIGHT. FROM DAY ONE, THEY NEVER PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEY COME ON, BUT YOU CANNOT SEE UNLESS YOU TURN ON THE BRIGHTS.

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THE NORMAL SETTING, THEY BARELY LIGHT UP THE ROAD AHEAD. THE BRIGHTS MUST BE TURNED ON IN ORDER TO SEE ANYTHING.

THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE HEADLAMPS WHICH HAS CAUSED THE LIGHTS TO DIM TO THE POINT THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CAN SEE WHEN I TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS BUT I CAN ONLY DO THAT WHEN THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

MY DRAINS FOR MY SUN ROOF ARE NOT WORKING, WATER ALL ON PASSENGER FLOOR, MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS SOME YEARS AGO AND WAS WONDERING IF THE RECALL WAS STILL ACTIVE

WHEN EVER THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES OR TRACTION CONTROL ARE ACTIVATED THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH NO OR VERY LITTLE BRAKING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STOPPING IN THE RAIN OR SNOW AND WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS LOOSE TRACTION. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF PUMPING THE BRAKES THE PEDAL RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE BRAKES WORK PERFECTLY. NO CODES ARE DISPLAYED. I TOOK IT INTO MY MECHANIC AND HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND 30 OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT TO JOHN BEAR CADILLAC IN HAMILTON ONT. AND THEY LOOKED UP MY CAR AND COULDN'T RECOMMEND A FIX FOR IT AS THE PARTS WEN'T PRODUCED ANY MORE. THIS IS A 2011 YEAR CAR AND THE SRX USED THE SAME COMPONETS UNTIL 2016. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT DEPEND ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY. ILIVE IN [XXX].

IMPROPER SEAL ALLOWS MOISTURE AND COBDENSATUON IN WHICH CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2.5 YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BULB 3 TIMES.

WHEN USING LOW BEAMS IT'S LIKE DRIVING BLIND! YOU CAN BARELY SEE A FOOT IN FRONT OF YOU AT NIGHT. MUST USE HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT OR RISK YOUR LIFE DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY DUE TO DISCOLORATION/PROBLEM WITH LENS COVERS!

TIMING BELT LOOSE, CAUSING CYLINDERS 1,3 AND 5 TO MISFIRE. CAR HAD BEEN JERKING, WHAT FELT LIKE SLIPPING FOR A FEW MONTHS. I THOUGHT IT NEEDED A TUNE UP.
