2014 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

LOW BEAM LIGHTS DIM. THEY ARE SO DIM IT IS HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT USING THE LOW BEAMS

I BOUGHT THE 2014 CADILLAC SRX LAST WEEK ON FEBRUARY 15, 2017 AND WHEN LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM. I TOOK IT BACK AND HAD THE BULBS REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SINCE LOOKED IT UP AND SEE SO MANY OTHER CADILLAC SRX OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS VEHICLE DEFINITELY NEEDS A RECALL.

DIM LIGHTS ARE TO DIM. CANT SEE WITH THEM. CANT DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE TO DIM.

THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE SO DIM AT NIGHT THAT I CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT. I HAVE HAD THE BULBS REPLACED BUT IT DOESN'T HELP AT ALL. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON WHICH ALSO ISN'T SAFE.

I HAVE A 2014 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT PRODUCE A LOT OF LIGHT. IT'S ALMOST LIKE DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS ON. I HAD THE BULBS REPLACED YESTERDAY THINKING IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT DIDN'T.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM, THAT I HAVE TO RUN WITH HIGH BEAMS ONLY AT NIGHT. THEY ARE NOT BURNT OUT, BUT ARE JUST VERY DIM. CADILLAC ADMITS IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM REPORTED BY MOST SRX OWNERS. THE DEALER WANTS OVER $1800 TO REPLACE THE LIGHTS. OF COURSE THIS IS UNSAFE FOR THE DRIVER AND THOSE APPROACHING THE CAR HAVING TO DEAL WITH HIGH BEAM LIGHTS.

SHORTLY ARRIVING BEING MOVED TO TEXAS BY THE ARMY, I NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF MY CUE NAVIGATION SYSTEM. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE CRACK SPREAD AND BEGAN AFFECTING THE TOUCH SCREEN. INITIALLY A SMALL SECTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN STOPPED RESPONDING TO TOUCH. THUS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHANGE RADIO STATIONS OR ENTER AN ADDRESS INTO THE NAVIGATION. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER THE ENTIRE CUE SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THE CADILLAC CUE SYSTEM SHORTLY AFTER VEHICLES REACH 50K MILES.
