2011 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAPPENED AT A STOP LIGHT. VEHICLE WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHT ON HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP. CAR THROTTLE BODY ISSUES ALREADY NOTED FOR OTHER CADILLAC SRX MODELS OF SAME YEAR BUT GM SAID OUR VIN WAS NOT COVERED. IT IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM LISTED IN THE GM SERICE BULLITIN # 14582A FROM OCTOBER 2015.

HEAD LIGHT FIXTURE HAS MOISTER IN IT. NOT SURE WHY. COVERS ALMOST HALF OF THE FIXTURE. THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAN THE INSIDE IS TO TAKE THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER OFF OF THE CAR. NOT AN EASY TASK AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT A MECHANIC. ALSO LOW BEAMS ARE VERY VERY DIM. CAN'T SEE MUCH AT NIGHT WITHOUT HIGH BEAMS ON. COULD BE CAUSED BY THE MOISTER. NOT IN MOTION. JUST OVER TIME. HARD TO BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE WENT BAD. I HAVE SAW MULTIPLE THREADS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. A VEHICLE FLAW IS WHAT I WOULD CALL IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CADILLAC SRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE MOISTURE AND CONDENSATION INSIDE OF THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ADAPTIVE FORWARD LIGHTING WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PROJECTED LUMINESCENCE FROM THE HEADLAMP WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF A WARRANTY EXTENSION PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN REGARD TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VEHICLE NO LONGER QUALIFIED FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIR SINCE THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS EXCEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP FAILED TO ILLUMINATE DUE TO WATER AND CONDENSATION PRESENT INSIDE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY HOUSING. THE CAUSE OF THE WATER INTRUSION INTO THE HEADLAMP WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER EVERETTE GMC/CADILLAC(19236 I-30 BENTON AR) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY PASSENGER'S SEATBELT CAME UNLATCHED AND FLEW OPEN. IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE LATCHED AGAIN IN THE BUCKLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THAT HAPPENED MY PASSENGER WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED.

THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN ON DIM ARE SO DIM YOU CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE. HAVE REPLACED BULBS BUT DOESN'T HELP. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

MY HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY BUILD UP CONDENSATION WHICH CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING IN THE DARK. IT'S ALSO ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE.

SUDDENLY, THE REGULAR HEADLAMPS GOT DIM'AS IF SOMEONE INSTALLED A DIMMER SWITCH AND BROUGHT THE LIGHT DOWN TO 30%. BRIGHTS WORK FINE. THIS WAS TRUE WHETHER THE CAR WAS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. WHILE TRYING TO GET THIS COVERED BY CADILLAC AND/OR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY (BOTH DENIED TO COVER THE REPAIR), I HAD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH MY BRIGHTS ON. EITHER WAY, WITH BRIGHTS ON, OR WITH DIM LIGHTS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. CADILLAC HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR MANY YEARS, AND IN ADDITION TO NOT DOING A RECALL OR HONORING CASE-BY-CASE REPAIRS, THEY CONTINUED TO PUT THE SAME FAULTY HEADLLAMP ASSEMBLIES IN THESE VEHICLES, UP TO 2015.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DIMMED. HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED COMPLETELY. MOISTURE BUILD UP IN HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS APPARENTLY IMPACTED ELECTRONIC HEADLIGHT CONTROLLERS. AUTO DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES APPROXIMATELY $2000.00 TO REPAIR.. REPLACEMENT OF BOTH HEADLIGHT BULBS PRODUCED NO DIFFERENCE IN LIGHT OUTPUT. BULBS THAT WERE REPLACED APPEAR TO BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL. MECHANIC AT FIRESTONE AUTO CARE FACILITY STATES THAT 'HEADLIGHT HOUSING UNIT APPEARS TO HAVE DEFECTIVE SEALS ALLOWING MOISTURE IN AND REMAINING INSIDE THE HOUSING DAMAGING CONTROLLERS'.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS VERY HOT AND SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURN OFF AND PARKED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.
