2015 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

LIGHTS ARE NOTICEABLY DIM WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER. VISIBILITY IS MORE DIFFICULT AT NIGHT. MY PASSENGERS WERE ASKING ME WERE MY LIGHTS EVEN ON BECAUSE THEY FELT UNSAFE. CADILLAC OFFERED A REIMBURSEMENT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY.

FOR MONTHS NOW I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN GO HARD AND DON'T BRAKE AS EASY AS THEY SHOULD ALSO TAKE A LOT LONGER TO BREAK AND HAVE TO PUSH DOWN FURTHER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A DAY OR TWO LATER IT'S GONE. IT COMES AND GOES RANDOMLY. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY DON'T SEE A PROBLEM AND HAVE NO RECALLS.

I PURCHASED A USED 2015 SRX CADILLAC IN 2017 WITH 26,000 MILES ON IT. PROGRESSIVELY THE HEADLAMPS (LOW BEAM) HAVE GOTTEN DIMMER AND DIMMER TO THE POINT THAT I AM NOW HAVING TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. THE CAR IS 4 YRS OLD NOW AND HAS 70,000 MILES. I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY AT NIGHT AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR NOW. IF A PERSON WERE WALKING ALONG THE ROAD OR A DEER WERE TO RUN IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE EVEN AT AN ADEQUATE DISTANCE FOR ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN, I WOULD NOT SEE IT IN TIME TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO FEAR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I CAN BARELY SEE THE LINES. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER, AND AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE SRX MODELS 2010-2016. THEY REPORT ISSUES ON FORUMS AND SOME HAVE EVEN EXPERIENCED ROLLOVERS AND ENDING UP IN DITCHES DUE TO LIMITED VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. MANY OLDER PEOPLE DRIVE CADILLACS AND THEY HAVE EVEN HAD THEIR DEALERSHIP QUESTION THEIR EYESIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT APPARENTLY IT HAS BEEN DROPPED IN ALL STATES BUT FL AND CA. I WORK FOR A MAJOR TRUCK MANUFACTURER AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO INVOLVE ON SUCH SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS THIS. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS MANY FORUMS HAVE REPORTS OF PEOPLE SAYING GM IS UP FOR A SUIT IF THEY END UP HAVING A FATAL CRASH FROM THE DIM LIGHTING. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. EVEN WHEN THE HEADLAMPS ARE REPLACED BY THE DEALER, THE ISSUE IS REPORTED TO RETURN. I DOUBT THE HEADLAMP QUALITY ISSUE HAS EVER BEEN ADDRESSED WITH ANY KIND OF MODIFICATION TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BY GM. READ THIS FORUM FOR MORE REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE HTTP://GMAUTHORITY.COM/BLOG/FORUM/CADILLAC-FORUM/. I TRUST YOUR AGENCY WILL SERIOUSLY EXAMINE THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DID NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING AND CREATED A VISIBILITY HAZARD. SILVER STAR CADILLAC (3601 AUTO MALL DR, THOUSAND OAKS, CA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. Consumer stated no further assistance will be needed.*JB

BREAKING SYSTEM SEEMS DELAYED, APPLYING FOOT ON THE PEDAL TO BREAK TAKES MORE PRESSURE THEN USUAL. ALSO WHEELS ARE CONSTANTLY SQUEAKING. FOR OVER A YEAR I'VE BROUGHT THIS ATTENTION TO THE DEALERSHIPS MECHANIC WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEIR ONLY IMPLY IS THAT THE BREAKS ARE CERAMIC AND WILL DO THIS REGARDLESS. THIS DOES NOT SEEM SAFE. EVERY TIME I USE MY BREAKS I HAVE TO ADJUST THE TIMING AND PAY CLOSER ATTENTION TO DRIVING WHEN USING THE BREAK SYSTEM. THE VEHICLES BREAK SYSTEM DOES NOT FEEL SAFE ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING.

THE DRIVE SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 65,000 MILES. THE HEADLIGHTS LOOK LIKE THEY ARE NOT ON AT NIGHT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WON IN CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA FOR THESE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULD NOT INCLUDE ALL THE CARS THAT HAD THESE HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL DEFECTIVE. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE OWNED IT 4 MONTHS AND THE TOUCH SCREEN CRACKED, DRIVER ASSIST SEAT CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, THE DRIVE SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE ON AT NIGHT. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS JUST TO SEE ADEQUATELY AND SAFELY.

HEADLIGHTS WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT ON LOW BEAM I CAN NOT SEE VERY WELL.I REPLACE BULBS IT DID NOT HELP. YOU CAN NOT GO VERY FAST AT NIGHT BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE VERY WELL .YOU HAVE TO PUT LIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALL AND FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEVIN WHITAKER CHEVROLET (2320 LAURENS RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, (864) 297-0011) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5454139288. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE BUILT-IN BACKUP CAMERA SOMETIMES FAILS TO WORK CORRECTLY. NORMALLY, THE BACKUP CAMERA IMAGE AND GUIDE APPEARS ON THE CENTER SCREEN A FEW SECONDS AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. HOWEVER, OCCASIONALLY THE VIDEO FEED FROM THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT SHOW WHEN IN REVERSE. INSTEAD, THE DISPLAY IS A SOLID BRIGHT GREEN COLOR. THE BACKUP ANGLE GUIDES ARE STILL OVERLAID ON TOP OF THE GREEN IMAGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE BACKUP CAMERA WILL USUALLY WORK PROPERLY AGAIN. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THE LACK OF A WORKING BACKUP CAMERA SEVERELY COMPROMISES VISIBILITY WHEN REVERSING.

MY 2015 CADILLAC SRX HAS A HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. USEING LOW BEAMS YOU CAN NOT SEE VERY WELL AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THEM IT DID NOT HELP. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK GMC NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM.
