  • 2023 CADILLAC XT4
    - Conroe, TX

    The vehicle's transmission does not shift smoothly in the lower gears (1-3) when decelerating. It feels like a clutch is popping and the vehicle 'jerks' when this occurs. This began to occur immediately after purchase and continues to do so today. The vehicle was returned twice to the dealer for warranty service and they stated it was operating as designed. The vehicle currently has less than 5,000 miles.

  • 2014 CADILLAC SRX
    - De Motte, IN

    The headlights on Cadillac SRX are defective and Cadillac will not have a recall. The lights are so dim I have to drive with my brights on, which is dangerous to other drivers. If I do not use the high beams, I am not able to see what is on the side of the road at night. There could be a person, other vehicle, etc. Therefore an accident could occur or someone could be injured. Cadillac was assisting with repair costs but that ended a couple years ago and I did not know about it as I did not receive a letter. This is a known defect and many people have expressed concern (I found a forum discussion online regarding this issue). My dealer has quoted a price of $2131.39 to replace the headlight assembly. I would appreciate review of this safety issue with this vehicle.

  • 2015 CADILLAC SRX
    - Houston, TX

    BRAKE, ABS, and traction message came on at the same time. EBCM 20842710 is the part number. Been at BIG STAR CADILLAC in Houston, Texas a month with no explanation except waiting on GM for parts but the Dealership can’t tell me anything and I am ready to call the News station about this situation. They can’t get me in another vehicle unless it’s NEW with a hefty down payment that I don’t have. I have dialysis 3 times a week and now I have to use my wife’s car, now she can’t get to work. What are we supposed to do??? How much longer do I have to wait? They can’t answer that either. This is the USAand can’t get a simple part. No one seem to care either. Very distraught and unhappy. I need help and I need it NOW!!!
