CADILLAC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH SMOKE BEGAN TO SUDDENLY FILL THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE CEILING OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE THE SMOKE SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO A NEARBY FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THE BURNING WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. NO FIRE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT YET NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

MY 2007 MODEL YEAR CADILLAC CTS VEHICLE HAD A CONDITION WHERE REPEATED FLEXING OF THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM MAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS CAUSED THE MAT TO KINK, BEND, OR FOLD. THE FLEXING BROKE THE CONNECTIONS IN THE MAT. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BECOME DISABLED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS INDICATOR ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR SHOWS THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF, THE AIR BAG INDICTOR DOES ILLUMINATE, AND A SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE DOES APPEAR IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND HAS FOR YEARS! I HAVE REPEATEDLY ASK VILLAGE CADILLAC, SERVICE ADVISOR: DEBBIE HENRY TO HAVE THE SEAT FIXED. THE PROBLEM WITH SERVICE ADVISOR IS THAT SHE LOOKS AT YOUR RECALL RECORDS. YOUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT MY VIN DOES NOT HAVE ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS, WHICH IS CORRECT. WHAT I HAVE IS A LETTER FROM CADILLAC P.O. BOX 909989 MILWAUKEE, WI 53209-9989, STATING THAT THIS MAT CAN BREAK AND IT HAS BROKEN. ALSO, THE PLASTIC HOUSING OF THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE IS BROKEN, WHICH HAS STARTED TO FRAY THE SEATBELT STRAP. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE.

USING THE CAR FOR NIGHT DRIVING WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR ME IN MY RECENTLY PURCHASED, USED 2015 CADILLAC SRX AND AS I WAS COMING TO A RIGHT TURN LANE IN AN INTERSECTION WITH SIMILAR ONCOMING TRAFFIC PATTERN AND CARS FLASHING BRIGHTS, I DIMMED MY LIGHTS. I DID NOT SEE THE MAN RIDING A BICYCLE WITH HIS FLASHING BICYCLE LIGHTS, NOR HIS FLORESCENT WEAR STRIPS WITHIN A SAFE ENOUGH DISTANCE TO AVOID HIM WHEN HE DECIDED TO CROSS. FORTUNATELY, MY PASSENGER SCREAMED JUST IN TIME FOR ME AND HE ABANDONED HIS ATTEMPT AND DECIDED TO BAIL INTO A CULVERT DITCH, I DID NOT HIT HIM. I STOPPED AND HIS JEANS WERE JUST TORN AND HE SAID HE WAS OKAY, BUT, I WILL NOT PUT THOSE DIMS ON AGAIN.

I KEEP RECEIVING REMINDERS BY MAIL AND EMAIL REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE RETURNED MY CADILLAC TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR IT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. CAN YOU GIVE ME A STATUS OF MY VEHICLE?

I BOUGHT THE USED CAR ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO. I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE CAR UNTIL I HAD TO DRIVE IT ONE NIGHT. IT WAS LIKE DRIVING A CAR AT NIGHT USING ONE 6 VOLT BATTERY OPERATED FLASH LIGHT FORR THE LOW BEA M HEAD LIGHTS.. AFTER REVIEWING THE MASSIVE ON LINE COMPLAINS, I CALL CADILLAC DIRECT AND ASK FOR HELP. THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP IN MCKINNEY TEXAS. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD REPAIR 100 PERCENT FOR $,890. I AGREED AND PAID AND LEFT THE CAR FOR AN ENTIRE DAY. THE CAR WAS RETURNED THAT EVENING AND I DROVE IT THAT NIGHT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT WHAT SOEVER. THEY IS NO WAY THIS CAR COULD PASS A TEXAS SAFETY INSPECTION. I AM A HEART AND LUNG AND KIDNEY PATIENT AND MY WIFE DRIVES ME AND ITS RAINING SOME DAYS AND DARK EARLY EVENING NOW AND THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE! YOU CAN'T SEE A THING AND NO ONE CAN SEE YOU AT ALL!! WHAT MAKES OUR VEHICLE MORE DANGEROUS , ITS BLACK AND NO ONE CAN SEE US AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER!! WE NEED YOUR HELP TERRIBLY BEFORE THERE'S A TRAGIC ACCIDENT!!! D

THE HEAD LIGHTS GIVE OFF A VERY LOW DIMMING OR A LOW BEAM OF LIGHT. WHICH I CANT SEE THE LINES INSIDE OF THE ROAD OR DIVIDING LANES. THE OUT SIDE GLASS THAT COVERS THE LIGHT IS CLEAR AND NOT DAMAGED.I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHT LIGHT TO DRIVE EVERYDAY CONDITIONS. IKNOW OF OTHERS CADILLIAC OWNS WHO HAS ALSO EXPERIENCES THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE OF LIFE AND DEATH!! ON COMING TRAFFIC SOMETIMES BLOWING TO INFORM ME MY LIGHTS ARE LOW. LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY MATTER .

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED OTHER THAN THERE IS A CURRENT AIRBAG RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. MANY OTHER MAKES AND MODELS ALSO HAVE THIS TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE AND THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED/OR REPLACED AND THE RECALL IS LIFTED. YET CADILLAC/GM IS STILL REFUSING TO HAVE THIS DONE SO I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A VEHICLE WHICH THE NHTSA SAYS IT NOT SAFE YET CADILLAC SAYS IT IS AND NO ONE HAS TAKEN THE STEP FORWARD TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND RECENTLY PASSED AWAY IN A HORRIFYING MANNER AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS GIVE MY STEPSON WHO LIVES IN CANADA (I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES) I JUST WANT TO GIVE MY STEPSON HIS FATHERS TRUCK AND BECAUSE NO ONE WISHED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM I AM UNABLE TO DO THIS. I SIMPLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE NHTSA CAN ALLOW US TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THEY DEEM TO BE UNSAFE YET NOT FORCE CADILLAC/GM TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM THEY FEEL IS NO PROBLEM. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POSSIBLE LAWSUIT THAT COULD BE PLACED AGAINST CADILLAC/GM AND NHTSA IF ANYONE WAS TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE NONE OF YOU TOOK THE STEP FORWARD TO FORCE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE SOLVED JUST LIKE TOYOTA, BMW, TESLA, SAAB AND SO MANY OTHERS HAVE DONE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING RATHER THAN ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO SIT IN A STATE OF LIMBO AS "INCOMPLETE/REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE. AND WHAT A NAME A PERSON WOULD MAKE FOR THEMSELVES TO PUSH THIS TO BE SOLVED. SOME HAS TO HELP ME, PLEASE! I JUST WANT MY STEPSON TO HAVE HIS FATHERS TRUCK..PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THIS IS THE 15TH TIME I HAVE BOUGHT MY CAR IN FOR VARIOUS ENGINE PROBLEMS LIKE ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR WOULD JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIDE OR JERKING AS I DRIVE IT. I HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAS STALLED BEFORE AS I DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2018

THE LOW BEAMS ON MY 2016 CADILLAC ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. IT IS A LUXURY MODEL WITH NO FOG LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE THE CORRECTED BY GM/CADILLAC AND NOT THE OWNER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND IS CAUSING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH MANY SRX OWNERS.
