2010 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BELT AND TIMING CHAIN COULD FRACTURE AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE DEALER HAD NOT DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

THE RADIO HAS POWER BUT NO SOUND .TH DOOR AJAR CHIMES DONT WORK AND TURN SINGNALS DONT CLICK THIS IS A INTERNMENT PROBLEM THAT COULD LAST UP TO A FEW DAYS DOESNT MATTER WHERE IM DRIVEN THAN EVERY THING STARTS WORKIN TILL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS

THE TIMING CHAIN LOOSENS AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO FAIL. AVERAGE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS $2,100 AT 88,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS ENGINE AND PREVIOUS YEARS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAULTY SEALS CAUSING CONDENSATION AND WATER TO LAY INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO SHORT OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALLL? SEEMS PRETTY SERIOUS 70MPH AN ANY SECOND COMPLETE DARKNESS

TAKATA INFLATORS: HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. MANUFACTURES DEFECT MAY CAUSE AND ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY AT NIGHT

THE SUN ROOF DRAIN TUBES CAME AWAY FROM THE FIREWALL ON ALL 4 SIDES. WATER LEAKED ALL OVER THE GAS PEDAL AND THE BREAK. I HAVE SLID OFF THE STREET TRYING TO BREAK CAUSING DAMAGE TO A YARD. THE ELECTRICAL ON THE RADIO SYSTEM AND LIGHTS SHORT OUT BECAUSE OF WATER GETTING INTO THE DASH. THE BACK HATCH HAS WATER LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CONTROLS IT AND NOT WILL NOT ALLOW THE HATCH TO OPEN.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE WATER IN THEM AND ARE CONSTANTLY GETTING SHORTED. HAPPENED TO ME AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY AND FIGURE OUT AN ALTERNATIVE. PRETTY SCARY.

BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHTS APPEAR TO HAVE CONDENSATION AND/OR WATER INSIDE. THE LOW BEAMS NO LONGER PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHT FOR ME TO SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE AFTER DARK, AND EVEN SUDDENLY TOTALLY BLACKED OUT ONE NIGHT! ONCOMING DRIVERS WERE FLASHING THEIR HEADLIGHTS AT ME, AND I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON CONTINUOUSLY. I CALLED THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH SRX HEADLIGHTS.

TAILGATE WILL NOT STAY UP. IF IT WOULD HAVE HIT MY WIFE, IT WOULD BEEN A DISASTER. FORTUNATELY, SHE GOT OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN MY WIFE TRIED TO OPEN THE TAILGATE. TAILGATE WILL NOT STAY UP.

THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-387-3350820. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.
