2010 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

THE FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSY CONTINUES TO GET WATER AND CONDENSATION IN IT AND THE HEAD LIGHT FAILS.

THE PASSENGER HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED IN APRIL, 2014 BECAUSE MOISTURE SHORTED IT OUT. THIS COST $1450 OUT OF POCKET, REPAIRED BY THE DEALER WITH NEW GM PARTS. NOW LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER, THE SAME PASSENGER HEADLAMP IS OUT DUE TO THE SAME REASON. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON HEADLAMPS FOR THIS MODEL. NOT SAFE WHEN HEADLAMPS SUDDENLY GO OUT.

TAKATA RECALL, BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN CHANGED THE YEAR IS LESS THAN 6 YRS OLD. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. GM WANTS 1200.00 FOR JUST THE ASSEMBLY NOT LABOR. THEY LEAK AND MOISTURE GET INSIDE AND BLOWS OUT THE BULBS AND SHORTS OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS IS BS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. GM USING THE CHEAPEST JUNK POSSIBLE AND SELLING IT FOR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, WAY TO GO GM, PUT MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER LIFE AT RISK SO YOU COULD MAKE MORE MONEY....YOU MAKE ME SICK. AFTER THIS CADILLAC I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER CADILLAC. YOU HAVE BROKE ME WITH YOUR CHEAP CRAP THERE ARE 50 AND 60 YR OLD CADDYS THAT STILL HAVE ORIGINAL HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES THAT DON'T LEAK, ALL OVER THE INTERNET CADDYS NEWER THAN MY 2010 SRX ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS SAD AND IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR GM NOT TO REMAKE THESE ASSEMBLIES SO THEY DON'T LEAK. AND FIND A SUPPLIER THAT DOESN'T CHARGE 1200.00 FOR A ASSEMBLY THAT WILL LEAK IN LESS THAN 5 YRS TOTALLY NOT SATISFIED, THIS IS ONLY THE WORST OF THE LONG LINE OF ISSUES WE HAVE HAD WITH OUR CADILLAC, IT LOOKS LIKE CADDY IS GOING DOWNHILL. WE WILL LOOK FOR A BETTER BUILT VEHICLE AND YA'LL CAN HAVE THIS HIGH DOLLAR CHEAP JUNK! PISSES ME OFF THAT BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES LEAKED AND COST ON AVERAGE 2000.00 EACH INCLUDING LABOR TO FIX ONLY TO KNOW IT MIGHT LAST 4 YRS LOL WAY TO GO FOREIGN TRADE YOU BROUGHT US 10X THE COST FOR [XXX] CRAP PARTS. CADILLAC SUCKS! CHEAP PARTS AND WAYYYY OVER PRICED! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER A RAIN STORM, MY HEADLIGHTS CONDENSED UP, THEN THE RIGHT LAMP WENT OUT, AFTER REPLACING THE HEI LAMP, THE LEFT LAMP WENT OUT. THESE LAMPS ARE VARY COSTLY, PLUS THE LABOR, BECAUSE GM HAS A POOR SEAL AROUND THE HEADLAMP. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE RAIN.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND ONE OF THEM IS ALREADY ACCUMULATING MOISTURE AND HAS BURNED OUT AGAIN. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL, AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS BEEN VERY COSTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT UNIT CAUSED A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,866.

WHEN I SHIFT TO PARK, THE DASH TELLS ME I HAVE NOT IN PARK AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAVE TO REVERSE, THEN SHIFT BACK TO PARK, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES, IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO FINALLY REGISTER THAT I AM IN PARK. ALSO, WHEN I SHIFT TO REVERSE, THERE IS A HUGE THUNKING NOISE. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT CAN OCCUR ANYWHERE FROM 1 TIME PER WEEK TO SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE ISSUE TO CERTIFIED GM DEARLSHIPS AND POINTED OUT THAT SEVERAL MESSAGES ON BULLETIN BOARDS STATE IT'S A TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IF THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE IT, THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. I SAW A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR 2010 AND 2011 SRX'S, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL ALTHOUGH I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS ACCUMULATE MOISTURE INSIDE, CAUSING THE LIGHT OUTPUT FROM THE LOW BEAMS TO BE ALMOST NONE EXISTING. IT FORCES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I FEEL GM NEED'S TO PERFORM A RECALL ON THIS HEADLIGHTS.

DURING A RAINSTORM MY LEFT HEADLIGHT STOPPED WORKING. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT DUE TO A FAULTY SEAL WATER WAS GETTING INTO THE LIGHT. THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED.COST WAS OVER $1300.00. VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 63,400 MILES ON IT. AFTER REVIEWING MULTIPLE FORUMS I FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SPECIFICALLY, IF THE HEADLIGHT SEALS ARE UNRELIABLE IT COULD RESULT IN HEAD ON COLLISIONS/ACCIDENTS DURING BAD WEATHER INVOLVING PRECIPITATION. WHAT HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY AND JERKED BEFORE SUDDENLY ACCELERATING INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE HAND BRAKE FAILED TO OPERATE WHEN ENGAGED. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS FLICKERED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
