2015 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM AT NIGHT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE A SHORT DISTANCE AHEAD ON CITY TREETS OR HIGHWAYS. APPARENTLY MOISTURE GETS INTO THE LIGHT FIXTURE. CADILLAC HAD A RECALL FOR IT FOR 90 DAYS. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T OCCUR UNTIL MONTHS AFTER IT CLOSED. RECALL CLAIM 1022551. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A REQUIRED RECALL OR AT LEAST OPEN IF THE ISSUE OCCURRED.

THE HEADLAMP LIGHTING ON THIS VEHICLE IS TOTALLY INADEQUATE. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IT IS NECESSARY TO LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON BRIGHT CONSTANTLY; WHEN ON DIM THE LIGHTING IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE SAFETY. WE HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT DUE TO THIS SITUATION. THIS ISSUE IS COMPOUNDED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN, EVEN A LIGHT RAIN. WE HAVE MORE THAN ONCE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR BETTER CONDITIONSE STARTING UP AGAIN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE IN A MODERN VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BOTH TO THE DEALER AND CADILLAC AND HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN AN APPROPRIATE SOLUTION. IF I REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IT WILL BE REPLACED WITH AN IDENTICAL ONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE AND WAITING A MOMENT TO DRIVE, THERE WAS SMOKE AND NOTICED THAT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM HER FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WHICH WAS WHEN SHE JUMPED FROM HER SEAT AS HER PANTS CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BURNS TO HER GLUTES. THERE WAS NO MEDICAL ATTENTION SOUGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER (MICHAEL CADILLAC LOCATED AT 5787 N BLACKSTONE AVE, FRESNO, CA 93710 (559) 431-6008) WHERE IT WAS PENDING TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT 20-25 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHT TO VIEW THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CADILLAC DEALER (1507 W OGDEN AVE, NAPERVILLE, IL 60540 (630) 355-2700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BULB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO PROVIDED CASE NUMBER 9-566-3842749 AND INFORMED THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,965.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO GET LESS EFFECTIVE. WHEN PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO THEY WERE FINE. THEY HAVE CONTINUOUSLY LOST BRIGHTNESS TO THE POINT THEY ARE BARELY BRIGHTER THAN PARKING LAMPS. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING MORE THAN 15' IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN THE BRIGHT LIGHTS CANNOT BE USED. IT ALSO REDUCES THE VISIBILITY OF THE CAR AT NIGHT CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO CHANGE LANES IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT ON HIGHWAYS AND PULLING OUT IN FRONT ON OTHER ROADS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED??? THE MANUFACTURER HAS PRODUCED A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT ENDANGERS THE DRIVER AND THEIR PASSENGERS BUT WANTS THEM TO SPEND OVER $600 TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLIES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, NOT A FAIR OCCURANCE. IT IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN ITEMS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA! WHY ARE FAMILIES BEING LEFT IN DANGER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE FRONT HEAD LIGHT ILLUMINATION WAS INADEQUATE CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BAIERL CADILLAC(10430 PERRY HWY, WEXFORD PA.) WHO REPLACED THE LIGHT BULBS BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

TODAY, I PAID $1789.01 AT RON CARTER CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, FRIENDSWOOD, TX, TO REPLACE TWO HEADLAMPS ON MY 2015 CADILLAC SRX. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP THAT LIGHTS WERE SO DIM ON CAR THAT I COULD BARELY SEE AT NIGHT. IT PAINED ME TO PAY FOR THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I FOUND OUT IT HAS BEEN AN ONGONG PROBLEM AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I EXPECTED BETTER QUALITY FROM CADILLAC.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE BECOME SO DULL TO CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY. MECHANIC CLAIMS THAT THE BULBS AR OK AND DOESN'T KNOW WHY. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME COMPLAINT AND FEEL THAT GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT.

MOISTURE HAS DEVELOPED IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, CORRODING THE REFLECTIVE ELEMENTS AND MAKING VISION AT NIGHT VERY DIM AND UNSAFE. THIS HAPPENS UNDER ANY CONDITIONS REQUIRING HEADLIGHTS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IF NOT MORE-SIMPLE GOOGLE UP CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. GM HAS REIMBURSED A FEW OWNERS AS A RESULT OF A LAWSUIT LIMITED TO A COUPLE OF STATES, BUT HAS NOT OWNED THE PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK MORE INTO THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AFTER DARK, HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY LOW BRIGHTNESS. I COULD BARELY SEE THE ROAD LINES AND DRIVING IN THE RAIN , I HAD TO USE MY HIGH BEAMSTO SEE THE HIGHWAY ROAD MARKINGS.
