CADILLAC Complaints

THIS CAR HAS A PANORAMIC SUN ROOF. THE ENTIRE ROOF OF THE CAR IS GLASS. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENTIRE SUNROOF (THE GLASS PANELS, THE TRACKS, THE SUNROOF MOTORS, THE RACK) COMPLETELY FLEW OFF AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BEHIND IT. . I GUESS THE WIND GOT UNDER IT AND RIPPED THE SUNROOF FROM THE CAR. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE PANORAMIC ROOF IS INSTALLED AND SECURED WITH ONLY GLUE. THERE ARE NO BOLTS THAT SECURE THE ROOF TO THE CAR. THE GLUE MUST'VE BEEN GETTING OLD AND ALLOWED THE WIND TO TEAR THE REST OF IT APART.

THE SEAL AROUND HEADLIGHTS HAS DETERIORATED AND WATER IS VISIBLE INSIDE THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM VEHICLE CAN'T BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT.

BRAKES FAILED TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE ONCE WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND AGAIN WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE DIM MAKING THE CAR A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST GM AND GM LOST. GM INDICATES THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WANT $2200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE SAME PARTS THAT THAT ARE CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER AS TIME GOES ON. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES, BUT I STARTED NOTICING AT LEAST 5,000 MILES AGO THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT THAT IT APPEARED AS IF I BARELY HAD ANY HEADLIGHTS SHINING IN FRONT OF ME. I WOULD TURN THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN, THINKING THEY WERE OFF BUT COULD BARELY TELL THE DIFFERENCE. WHEN I TURN CORNERS, I COULDN'T SEE WHERE THE ROAD WAS OR CURBS AND HAD TO ROLL DOWN MY DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGER WINDOWS TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND TO AVOID MISSING ROAD OR HITTING SOMETHING. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2010-2015 SRX HEADLIGHTS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM - UPWARDS OF 300,000 VEHICLES INVOLVED. CADILLAC AGREED TO REPLACE THOSE HEADLIGHTS, BUT USED THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF HEADLIGHT FOR THE REPLACEMENTS AND PEOPLE ARE AGAIN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM...... LIGHTS DIMMING OVER TIME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT NOW AS IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I FEEL MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME AS THAT BLINDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND CREATES ANOTHER HAZARD. HTTPS://CADILLACSOCIETY.COM/2020/03/10/OWNERS-CONTINUE-TO-STRUGGLE-WITH-CADILLAC-SRX-HEADLIGHTS/ I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER BUT LO AND BEHOLD, IT DOESN'T COVER HEADLIGHTS WHICH I WAS TOLD BY CADILLAC DEALER THAT THEY WERE $900 APIECE.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE INCREASINGLY BECOME DIMMER TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS. I THINK THE ISSUE BEGAN AROUND THE MIDDLE OF 2019.

IN DECEMBER 2020, I PURCHASED A USED 2012 CADILLAC SRX. ONCE I DROVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. DUE TO THE LOW LIGHTING LEVEL, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE BEST USED. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM WHILE THE VEKICLE IS PARKED OR DRIVEN

REAR LIFT GATE IS AUTOMATICALLY CLOSING, AND DOESN'T STAY OPEN. I'VE BEEN INJURED BY THIS & HAVE PICTURES OF MY BRUISES. I WASN'T ABLE TO STOP THE LIFT GATE FROM CLOSING & WAS PINNED IN MY TRUNK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! I'VE READ ABOUT SIMILAR SITUATIONS ON LINE. I'M VERY SURPRISED THERE ISN'T A RECALL ABOUT THIS.

TOUCH SCREEN HAS BECOME NONE RESPONSIVE WITH A VISIBLE WEBBING EFFECT AND I AM NOT ABLE TO USE WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAUSES DISTRACTIONS

INFOTAINMENT SCREEN SHOWS CRACKING, BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND CLICKS ON IT'S OWN INTERMITTANTLY. RENDERS ALL FUNCTIONALITY INCLUDING ALL RADIO/SOUND, NAVIGATION, PROJECTION, ETC... USELESS.
