2010 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

PASSENGER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS FULL OF WATER, POSSIBLY DUE TO A FAULTY SEAL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG OWNERS, AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE HEADLIGHT TO SHORT OUT AND BECOME INOPERABLE. REPLACEMENT IS OVER $1500, AND CADILLAC REPLACES ASSEMBLIES WITH THE SAME FAULTY SEAL.

HAD A BIT OF HEADLIGHT CONDENSATION DURING A HEAVY RAINFALL BUT SUN CAME OUT AND DRIED IT UP AND IT WORKED FINE. GONE THRU MANY CAR WASHES SINCE. 2 YEARS LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THEY COULD WASH OFF THE ROAD SALT AFTER INSTALLING NEW TIRES. AFTER GETTING IT BACK THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WAS ALL FOGGY AND FULL OF WATER AND CONDENSATION. CMON CADILLAC YOU GUYS KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM AND YOU HOLD THE PRESSURE WASHER ON THE HEADLIGHT UNTIL IT'S FULL OF WATER. I THEN GET A CALL ASKING IF I WANT TO UPGRADE TO A NEWER YEAR... WHAT A WAY TO INCREASE BUSINESS AND LOSE A CUSTOMER. A WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN PROBLEM AND YOU DELIBERATELY WORK ON IT UNTIL IT COSTS YOUR CLIENT MONEY AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT NEXT ? WHAT IF IT WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM.. DON'T TRUST THE DEALERSHIPS AT ALL. USED TO THINK THERE WAS MORE OF A REPUTATION AND MORE INTEGRITY.. LOST ALL FAITH IN GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICES.

HEADLIGHT SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I CANNOT USE MY LOW DIMS AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE ROAD IS NOT AT ALL VISIBLE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CHOOSES NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE LOW VISIBILITY. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS FOR THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER CONSUMERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

WHEN CAR WAS EXPOSED TO A HEAVY RAIN, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT DUE TO WATER DRAINING INTO THE HEADLIGHTS. PER CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND CADILLAC FORUMS, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. CADILLAC (GM) DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE.

LOST BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WHILE DRIVING HOME 12/22/2017. HAD TO TURN ON FOG LAMPS TO SEE. THIS WAS AFTER DEALER HAD MY VEHICLE 3 TIMES TO1)REPLACE RIGHT LOW BEAM BULB; 2) BALLAST; 3) IGNITER AND BALLAST. OVER $700 SPENT TO DATE AND EVIDENT NOW WITH BOTH LOW BEAMS OUT MORE WORK NEEDED TO REPAIR.

BOUGHT THIS 2010 CADILLAC USED IN 2012. HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH CONDENSATION IN LENSES AND POOR VISIBILTY TO THE POINT OF NOT EVEN SURE LIGHTS ARE ON? TOOK IT TO CADILLAC WHILE STILL UNDERWARRANY IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. CLEANED OUTCONDENSARION AND SAID IT WAS ALL THEY COULD DO. I AM AFRAID THAT THE LIGHTS WILL FAIL COMPLETELY WHILE XRIVING, RESULTING IN DAMAGE OR DEATH. I'M SERIOUS.

DO TO BAD SEALS IN THE HEADLIGHTS WATER GETS INTO THE LIGHT CAUSING THE DIM LIGHTS TO BE SO LOW YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IF YOU TRY TO GET IT REPAIRED GM WANTS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT WITH THE SAME BAD COMPONENT AT YOUR COST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. REPLACING THE LIGHT WITH THE SAME BAD COMPONENT DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM DUE TO IN TIME THE SEALS WILL LEAK AGAIN CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT OR GO SO DIM YOU CANNOT DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHORTED MORE THAN TWICE. THE BULB WAS REPLACED BY THE CONTACT. DURING THE THIRD FAILURE, THE BULB FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHAT WAS CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (JAMES HODGE CHEVROLET OF BROKEN BOW, 1207 S PARK DR, BROKEN BOW, OK 74728, (888) 592-3964) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDED TESTING TO CHECK FOR MOISTURE WITHIN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A REMEDY TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,003.

WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY, THE HEADLIGHTS APPEARS TO BE ON BUT NOT STRONG AT ALL. THE ROADS ARE NOT VISIBLE AT NIGHT TIME WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON. SOMETIMES I NEED TO TURN MY HIGH BEAMS ON JUST TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. I HAVE RECENTLY CHANGED THE LIGHT BULB, NO CHANGE OCCURRED. I HAVE BUFFED THE HEADLIGHTS TO GET RID OF ANY BUILD UP, NO CHANGE. THIS IS A SINGLE OWNER VEHICLE AND HAS 55K MILES. DEFINITELY A SAFTEY ISSUE!

THE HEADLIGHTS TO MY CADILLAC SRX 2010 QUICK WORKING AT 79,200 MILES SAFELY. THE DIMS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LESS BRIGHT THAN OTHER VEHICLES WHEN FIRST PURCHASED HOWEVER I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON CONCERN. THE DIMS HOWEVER GOT WORSE JUST A FEW DAYS AGO. SO MUCH SO THAT I WAS NOT SURE THAT THE LIGHTS WERE EVEN ON WHILE DRIVING FROM THE CITY TO THE COUNTRY WHERE NO ADDITIONAL LIGHT IS AVAILABLE TO SUPPLEMENT THE HEADLIGHTS. ALL LIGHTS STILL WORK HOWEVER THE DIMS ARE BEYOND DANGEROUS. I WAS GETTING FLASHED BY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON WHILE THE DIMS WERE STILL ON AND FLASHED WHEN I HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON FOR ADEQUATE DRIVING LIGHTS. I HAD TO DRIVE OVER THE WEEKEND IN FOGGY CONDITIONS WHICH WERE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS HOPING THAT I WOULD NOT BE KILLED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING WITH MY DIMS ON WHICH I HAVE ATTACHED TO THIS FILE. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS NO LIGHT TO BE HAD AND THE ONLY WAY TO SEE A BIT MORE IN FRONT OF YOU IS TO TURN THE SPEEDOMETER LIGHTS ALL THE WAY DOWN. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE LIKE TO DRIVE IN BLIZZARD LIKE CONDITIONS THIS WINTER WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS. CADILLAC NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE HEADLIGHTS! BASED ON MY RESEARCH OF THESE LIGHTS, THIS IS A MASSIVE ISSUE. THE ONLY REASON WAY THE RECALL HASN'T BEEN FORCED IS BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHERE YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GET DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON IT. CONVENIENTLY FOR CADILLAC, THEY JUST MAKE IT PAST THAT MARK BY 4,000-7,000 MILES. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
