2010 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BUILT UP CONDENSATION IN THEM WHICH NOT ONLY MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SEE AT NIGHT TIME BUT ALSO MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO SEE ME.

THE HEADLIGHTS LIGHTS ARE NOT PROPERLY WORKING. THEY'RE COMPLETELY OUT!!! WE CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT UNLESS WE USE THE HIGH BEAMS. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD A FRIEND REPLACED THE BULBS ON THE SIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE THE ISSUE. THE MAIN CENTER LIGHTS WERE STILL OUT. WE TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT AUTO PARTS AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE WRONG BULBS WERE USED. AFTER WE PURCHASED WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS THE CORRECT BULBS, THE WORKER VOLUNTEERED TO PUT THEM IN FOR US. AFTER HE WAS DONE, THE LIGHTS STILL DIDN'T COME ON. WELL, THE LIGHTS ON THE SIDE WORKED BUT NOT THE MAIN CENTER LIGHTS. ANYWAY, I GOGGLED THIS TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. OMG! SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. A FEW PEOPLE WENT TO THE CADILLAC DEALER HAD THE LIGHTS FIXED AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THE LIGHTS WERE OUT AGAIN. SOME PEOPLE TRIED FIXING THE ISSUE THEMSELVES AND AFTER WORKING FOR A FEW WEEKS, LIGHTS WERE OUT AGAIN. YESTERDAY, I SAW TWO OF THE SAME CADILLACS SRX AND NOTICED THE SAME THING. THE FRONT LIGHTS WERE OUT AND VERY DIM SUCH AS OURS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE IN DANGER. WE NOTICED IT WHEN MY HUSBAND HAD TO RUSH ME TO THE ER LATE LAST YEAR OR EARLIER THIS YEAR. IT WAS AROUND 11 PM AND THE STREET WE HAD TO DRIVE DOWN WAS COMPLETELY DARK. IT WAS A TWO WAY STREET AND WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THE HEAD BEAMS WHEN NO CARS WAS COMING ON THE OTHER SIDE. WE WAS SO FRIGHTENED WHEN WE HAD TO TURN THEM OFF BECAUSE HOW DARK IT WAS. THERE WERE NO STREET LIGHTS UNTIL WE GOT CLOSE TO THE HOSPITAL. WE HAD DATE NIGHT AND STAYED AT A HOTEL AND THE AREA WAS AROUND AN INDIAN RESERVATION WHICH IS VERY DARK. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD MENTION OUR EXPERIENCE AND HOW THIS ISSUE IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN HARMS WAY. I SUGGEST THAT GM AND CADILLAC FIXED THIS PROBLEM THAT MAY BE DUE TO MOISTURE COMING IN AS STATED FROM OTHER OWNERS.

HEADLIGHT HOUSING IS NOT SEALING PROPERLY. WATER CAN PENETRATE INSIDE ASSEMBLY AND THEN CONDENSATE. THIS LEADS TO CLOUDED HEADLIGHTS WHICH DOES NOT PROPERLY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. FURTHERMORE, IT CAUSES ONCOMING DRIVER TO MISCALCULATE VEHICLE LOCATION AND DISTANCE. THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT THROUGHOUT THIS HEADLIGHT STYLE. MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

MY WIFE WAS 25 MILES FROM HOME AT 10:30 PM AND CALLED ME STATING THAT NEITHER HEADLIGHT WAS WORKING. BOTH HAD CONDENSATION IN THE HOUSING. ONLY ALTERNATIVE WAS TO TOW IT HOME OR DRIVE WITH FOG LAMPS ON.NEITHER HEADLIGHT IS WORKING, HIGH OR LOW BEAM. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A VEHICLE WITH 60,000 MILES. CALLED CADILLAC AND WAS TOLD YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, YOU WILL PAY ALL COSTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM ONCOMING CARS DO NOT SEE ME AND HAVE SWERVED INTO MY LANE IN ATTEMPT TO PASS.

HEADLIGHTS WERE IMPROPERLY SEALED OR POORLY SEALED ALLOWING WATER TO CONDENSATE INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. WATER CONTINUES TO CONDENSATE IN THE HOUSING AND THEN STARTS POOLING. THIS CAN LEAD TO GETTING WATER IN THE HEADLIGHT ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS CAUSING ELECTRICAL SHORTAGES WHICH CAN ULTIMATELY LEAD TO A FIRE. THIS IS A A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED INSTEAD OF PINNING IT ON OWNERS.

CONTINUE TO DRIVE AFTER STOPPING THE CAR, TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR INTO SECOND GEAR AND STUCK THERE, THEN THE GEAR WILL SHIFT NORMALLY ONLY AFTER U BRING THE CAR TO A TOTAL STOP AND DRIVE AGAIN. HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I STOPPED THE CAR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEFORE I WAS TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY

MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER SAID ITS CODE IS POO17. THE INFORMED ME THEIR MIGHT BE A RECALL SO I AM CHECKING TO SEE HE SAID CADILLAC DID HAVE ONE FOR 2004-2009

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2010 CADILLAC SRX HAVE AN INTERIOR CONDENSATION BUILDUP THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS DISSIPATE. THIS CAUSES DIMMING OF THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT, A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER REPLACED 1 HEADLIGHT WHEN I PURCHASED MY USED SRX, AFTER I FOUGHT FOR IT. THEY PUT IN A USED HEADLIGHT, AGAIN ISSUE STARTED. I FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE AND A COSTLY ONE TO CORRECT. WHY IS IT NOT A SAFETY RECALL, DOES THEIR HAVE TO BE A BODY COUNT BEFORE THIS IS DONE?? CADILLAC MUST OWN UP TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE AND VERY IMPORTANT HEADLIGHTS!! A VEHICLE MUST BE SAFE TO DRIVE ANYTIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT. THE FACT THAT THIS IS SO COMMON TO THIS VEHICLE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND 8 YEARS LATER NO RECALL EVEN WORSE. OFFICIAL ACTION TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST. PLEASE CONSIDER THE MANY SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS.

BOUGHT VEHICLE USED FROM SOUTHFIELD QUALITY CARS DETROIT IN OCT 2017 AT 96673 MILES. AT 100,000 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND A CODE SCANNER OBD2 USED HAS REPORTED A P0017 CODE THAT TRANSLATES TO ONE OF THREE THINGS. 1. OIL DRAIN TUBE INTERIOR ENGINE BLOCKED 2. SENSORS 3 TIMING CHAIN. HAVE DONE ENGINE FLUSH, RESET CODE, CODE CAME BACK ON NEXT DAY SAME CODE P0017. WHY IS THERE NO GM RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE? TOOK TO A REPAIR SHOP, THEY REPLACED SENSORS, CODE CAME BACK ON IN A WEEK. PRESENT MILEAGE 106353. GM DEALERS WANT $2900 TO FIX. MY WARRANTY ISSUED BY DEALER IS A GWC WARRANTY. THEY WILL NOT FIX/TAKE ENGINE APART TO LOOK AT TIMING CHAIN UNLESS SOMETHING BREAKS. IF TIMING CHAIN BREAKS THERE GOES MY MOTOR. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A GM FLAGSHIP VEHICLE? HELP!
