2014 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

THE POWER LIFTGATE DROPS QUICKLY A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER REACHING THE FULL OPEN POSITION.

HEADLAMP LENSES, CIRCULAR MAGNIFIER CLOUDED (WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY) CAUSING DECREASED HEADLAMP PERFORMANCE. NEW LAMPS DO NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. LITERALLY THIS CADILLAC HAS CATARACTS...

PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2014 WITH 69,000 MILES. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DIDN'T ILLUMINATE, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS WERE GREAT. I REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULBS AND SOME LIGHT NOW HITS THE ROAD, BUT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. IT APPEARS THAT THE GLASS SPHERE IN FRONT OF THE BULBS IS GRAY AND NOT ALLOWING LIGHT TO PASS THRU. THE DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION.

THE HEADLIGHTS OF THE CADILLAC SRX (2014) ARE SO DIM THAT YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT YOU AT NIGHT/EARLY MORNING. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE HEADLIGHTS. MY BULBS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ARE FINE. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND HOLD CADILLAC/GM RESPONSIBLE! ATTACHED ARE PHOTOS TAKEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AND LATE EVENING HOURS.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2014 CADILLAC ON 7/3/2019. CARFAX CHECK OUT GREAT. 5 DAYS LATER WE LEFT TOWN AT 9:30 PM FOR A MINI VACATION. IT WAS GETTING DARK. WE THOUGHT THE LIGHTS SEEMED PRETTY DIM, BUT THEN AGAIN IT WASN'T COMPLETELY BLACK OUTSIDE AT THIS POINT . AS IT PROCEEDED TO GET DARKER WE STARTED TO GET EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED IT WAS LIKE DRIVING WITH DIM FLASHLIGHTS . THE HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE BUT THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT! ! I GOT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA !!! I CALLED THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS! WE SERIOUSLY THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT NIGHT . WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CADILLAC TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE? NOT A GREAT WAY TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY OR IN TOWN. WE DID BOTH.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIM AND HAVE GOTTEN WORSE WITH TIME. GM WAS SUED BY SEVERAL CUSTOMERS AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO OFFER FREE REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPLACING THE PARTS. LETTERS SENT ONLY RECEIVED BY FEW PEOPLE. GM REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES THEY MANUFACTURED FROM 2010-2015, ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. VEHICLE IS USELESS AT NIGHT. SAFETY HAZARD. DIMMITT CADLLLAC IN CLEARWATER, FLORIDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY EITHER, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR OVER 2 YEARS. DIMMITT FAILED TO INFORM THE CLIENTS A 90-DAY WINDOW TO REPAIR WAS OFFERED PURSUANT TO A LETTER MOST CUSTOMERS DID NOT RECEIVE, EVEN WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN WITHIN THE WINDOW PERIOD FOR OIL CHANGE. THE CONSENSUS IS THAT GM MANUFACTURED DEFECTIVE SEALS AROUND THE HEADLIGHTS WHICH ALLOW MOISTURE/CONDENSATION TO GET IN DAMAGING THE LIGHTS. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT AS LIGHTS ARE OFF. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME EVENT. IT'S AN ONGOING SITUATION THAT GM REFUSES TO CORRECT AND/OR ISSUE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH ALL CADILLAC SRX 2010-2015 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNSET CADILLAC OF SARASOTA (2200 BEE RIDGE RD, SARASOTA, FL 34239, (941) 328-8686). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER TO REPLACE THE SIGNAL LIGHT. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $334. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

CADILLAC SRX LOW BEAMS LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. PROVIDES VERY LITTLE VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE THE CAR IS RUNNING ON DAY LIGHTS ONLY, EVEN THOUGH THE LOW BEAMS ARE ON. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED ASAP. I HAVE HAD THE BULBS TESTED AND THE MECHANIC SAYS THEY ARE FINE. IT IS JUST THE WAY THEY ARE PLACED IN THE VEHICLE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, BUT THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE IT RIGHT NOW.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAMS ARE VERY DIM. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS OTHER WISE I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD. OTHER DRIVERS GET UPSET BUT I CANT USE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. LIGHTS ARE ON BUT VERY DIM. I HAD DEALER INSPECT AND HE SAID THE FOCUSING LENS GET DESTORTED AND THE LIGHT DOESN'T GO THROUGH. COST WOLD BE OVER $1800 AND NOT PERMENANTLY FIX THE DEFECTIVE FOCUSING LENS.

THE VICHECLE IS JUMPING WITH A SUDDEN KICK WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND BRAKING. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING TO WORK IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AS WELL AS ROUTINE NAVIGATION LOCALLY.
