2013 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO SUGGESTED THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGE OVER $2000.00 TO CORRECT THIS AND IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT REPLACING THESE LIGHTS WITH THE SAME LIGHTS WILL REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS NEEDS GOVERNMENT ACTION OR PEOPLE WILL GET HURT.

HEADLAMPS (LOW BEAM ONLY) ARE TOO DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IN AREAS WHERE THE ROADS ARE NOT WELL LIT DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS ON IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WE HAVE AVOIDED DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WITH HIGH BEAMS ON (WHICH BECOMES DANGEROUS FOR OTHER DRIVERS). WE REPORTED THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY TO CADILLAC VIA A PHONE CALL AND WAS TOLD TO SEE A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP (MASSEY CADILLAC OF NORTH ORLANDO) INFORMED US THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLAMPS PROJECTOR BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. THE HEADLAMPS CANNOT BE FIXED, ONLY REPLACED. REPLACING THE HEADLAMPS WOULD COST JUST OVER $1,000.00. WE FEEL CADILLAC HAS A DEFECT IN THERE HEADLAMPS AND IS MAKING NO EFFORT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE AS TO WHY CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL OR HELP CUSTOMERS WITH OUT-OF-DATE WARRANTIES. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LOW BEAM GETTING TO HOT AND CREATING DISTORTION OR A BUILD-UP IN THE PROJECTOR. WE CAN TAKE PHOTOS IF NEEDED, BUT FELT IT MIGHT BE HARD TO TELL WHAT'S GOING ON VIA A PHOTO.

THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAD NO POWER TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE CAR WASN'T RUNNING. I HAD HIT THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO POWER BRAKE. THEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE. MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WAS BAD.

THE CADILLAC CUE SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING,IT IS COMPLETELY FROZEN. I AM NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE CLIMATE NOR HOT OR COLD, NOT ABLE TO DEFROST MY CAR. THE SCREEN DEFECT CAN CAUSE OR COULD LEAD TO THE LOSS OF VENTILATION CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MOST CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN CAR WAS STATIONARY AS I WAS TURNING MY CAR ON TO HEAD HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED THE SCREEN WAS NOT FUNCTIONING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE REAR HATCH WAS OPEN, THE REAR HATCH CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE THE HATCH CLOSED COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND REPAIR APPOINTMENT WERE SCHEDULED WITH RILEY CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC (LOCATED AT 2033 CHRISTY DR, JEFFERSON, MO 65101 (573) 298-6142) FOR JUNE 7, 2017. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,500. UPDATED 07/19/17*LJ *JS

DISPLAY STATES: SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM, REAR AXLE, AND A WARNING BELL SOUNDS CONTINUOUSLY. HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, BOTH INCIDENTS ON A LONG TRIP. ON STAR SAID, ON FIRST OCCASION, TO TURN OFF VEHICLE AND COMPUTER MAY RESET ITSELF. IT DID. ON SECOND OCCASION, WOULD NOT RESET AND NOW HAVE HUMMING FROM FRONT END

CUE PROBLEMS. THE TOUCHSCREEN GOES BLACK OR FREEZES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. ALSO THE MIDDLE BOTTOM SECTION DOES NOT RESPOND AFFECTING HEATING/AC FUNCTIONS.

ACCELERATION TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO CATCH UP. THIS PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSSED TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. HOWEVER, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION LAGGING.

CUE SYSTEM FROZE. UNABLE TO CONTROL RADIO, NAVIGATION SYSTEM, HEATER, A/C, HANDS FREE PHONE, ETC. WENT ON A CADILLAC FORUM AND WAS ABLE TO RESET IT ONE TIME AND THEN QUIT WORKING AGAIN AFTER A FEW. I WAS UNABLE TO RESET IT A SECOND TIME. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ALL HAPPENED AT 52,000 MILES 2,000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY CLOSE TO $2,000 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM AND SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL.
