  • 2016 CADILLAC SRX
    - Naples , FL

    These headlights have turn so dim its dangerous to drive at night. Its the lens inside that s deteriorating and nothing to do with the bulb. The dealer wants around 1500 to replace. This is a common problem with this vehicle. Cadillac offered only 50% of the repair but when i took it back to the dealer for service I got the run around again even though I had a reference number. Many people will not spend this large amount and it should be recalled. At night I must use the high beams to be safe but that annoys and is not safe to other drivers.

    - Paradise, TX

    Transmission While at a red light/complete stop car will jerk out of nowhere for no reason. It also did it while driving down hill at a steady speed of 70 mph. Could have been a bad accident if a big rig or other vehicles would have been behind me.

  • 2011 CADILLAC SRX
    - Philadelphia , PA

    Car has stalled out 5 times since NOV 12,2021 to Nov 22, 2021 and now the car has broken down in the middle of the road and will not start back up. We were at a red light when it just turned off and does not work now. It was smoking and smelled horrible like burning plastic. I had to remove my kids from the car because they could not breath anymore.

    The headlights are extremely dim cannot drive the vehicle at night. If I do use at night I have to use the high beams. Seems to be a know problem with Cadillac SRX. I was told by dealer they would have to replace both headlight assemblies to fix this problem at a cost of over 2000 dollars.

  • 2003 CADILLAC DEVILLE
    - Boise, ID

    I tried to explain to the dealership that unaware of the recall my cars breaks had failed and crashed my vehicle. They said the only thing that was affected was the key. I had told her that the result of my crash was from my breaks not working due to the recall. She told me no that that wasnt affected. I just want my car to be safe on the road as i have kids, and family that ride with me regularly.

  • 2015 CADILLAC SRX
    - Foley, AL

    Bought this car used, first time after dark realized headlights were not shining well enough to drive. We parked the vehicle until we could purchase and replace complete headlamp assembly. Multiple internet sites were found where other owners had same issue. We paid $300 for a set of replacement assembly and installed ourselves, otherwise it would have cost $1000 at the dealer. We went with this option because Cadillac items were not recommended, as they would fog up again in a short amount of time.
