CADILLAC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE, REAR AXLE SERVICE, AND POWER TRAIN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AS THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT TRIED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL HOWEVER CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. ALL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MINOR INJURIES TO BOTH ARMS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE POLICE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A LOT WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING HER INSURANCE ADJUSTER RESPONSE. THE POLICE DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTALED LOST. THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V571000 (SUSPENSION) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 107,500.

I REMOTE STARTED MY VEHICLE TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND WHEN I WENT OUT TO GET INTO MY VEHICLE THE RUNNING BOARD EXTENDED AND I STEPPED ON TO RUNNING BOARD, RUNNING BOARD IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO RETRACT INTO VEHICLE ALMOST TRAPPING MY FOOT. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. ON 10/7/2020 WHEN I WENT TO PICKUP MY CAR THE LOT TECHNICIAN BROUGHT THE VEHICLE AROUND TO THE FRONT FOR ME TO GET IT AND WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR THE RUNNING BOARDS FOLDED OUT AND THEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO RETRACT IT COULD HAVE TRAPPED HIS FOOT BETWEEN THE RUNNING BOARD AND CAR TOO. THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE VEHICLE AND IS TRYING TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOT A WHINING NOISES WHEN DRIVING AND THEN LOUDER WHINING NOISES AND ODD NOISES THAT SOUNDS LIKE GRINDING WHEN YOU MAKE TURNS WHEN THEN TRANSFER CASE IS ON AUTO MODE. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO PUT CAR IN OFF MODE UNLESS THE ROADS ARE IN BAD SHAPE BUT THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARSHLY FROM 1-2 AND FROM 3-2-1 INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS ROUGH SOMETIMES ITS ROUGH AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AT ALL. I AM SURE THAT THIS IS DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION AND ONE DAY THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME AND CAUSE A POTENTIALLY SEVERE ACCIDENT.

THE SERVICE ABS BRAKE PLEASE SEE DEALER MESSAGE HAS COME UP ON MY DASH 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 5 WEEKS. EACH TIME THE MESSAGE APPEARED THE VEHICLE OPERATED VERY STRANGELY WHEN BRAKING, THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHOOK AND MADE WEIRD NOISES SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND WENT HOME AND GRABBED OUR OTHER VEHICLE. I THEN CALLED CADILLAC AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT JAKE SWEENEY CADILLAC IN LEBANON OHIO FOR SERVICE. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY SAID THEY FIXED THIS ISSUE THE MOST RECENT TIME THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO CODES AND WERE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH

GMC KNOWN PROBLEM. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TOO DIM TO DRIVE SAFELY DURING HOURS OF DARKNESS. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM STARTING WITH APPROXIMATELY 2010 YEAR MODEL. GM DID NOT CONTACT OWNERS AND IN FACT WE RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT EVEN THOUGH GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS LAWSUITS AND REPORTS AND SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ATTRIBUTED TO THE DEFECTIVE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM IS COVERED BY DOT REGULATIONS AND AS SUCH I AM REQUESTING A FORMAL INVESTIGATION AND PUNITIVE ACTION REGARDING OUR 2016 CADILLAC SRX. AGAIN I WILL RESTATE THAT WE WERE NOT CONTACTED ABOUT A KNOWN DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. GM IS ALSO INSISTING THAT OWNERS PAY UP FRONT FOR REPAIRS AND SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION FOR REIMBURSEMENT WHILE ALSO IMPOSING UNREASONABLE TIME LIMITS AND CUTOFF DATES. THIS IS A DOT SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE ADDRSS IT AS SUCH. THANK YOU.

MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS SO DIM ON REGULAR (NOT HIGH BEAM), THAT I CANNOT SEE THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CADILLAC DIRECTLY. THEY ADVISED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP AT FIELDS CADILLAC IN JACKSONVILLE THAT IT IS A REFLECTOR BEHIND THE BULB, AND THEY SEE IT A LOT. THE ISSUE IS THIS: I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPAIR IT; HOWEVER I HAD TO PAY FOR IT, AND CADILLAC WOULD REIMBURSE ME. I ASKED THE PRICE. IT WAS APPROX. $1500! I AM A WIDOW, LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY, AND DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF DISPOSABLE RESOURCES. SHE SAID THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD REPAIR IT. I WAS VERY UPSET. I THOUGHT IT WAS COMPLETELY UNFAIR. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE CAD HEADLIGHTS DOING THE SAME THING AS MINE. I TOLD THEM IF I WAS KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE, I WOULD MAKE SURE MY SON NEVER HAD TO WORK A DAY AGAIN IN HIS LIFE. IT WOULD BE ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT IN MY OPINION. I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT 60 MILES TO MY HOME A FEW WEEKS AGO AFTER DARK, AND I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, AND THERE ARE SO MANY ANIMALS, ETC. THAT MUST BE SEEN IF THEY ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NOT TO MENTION MY OWN VISIBILITY OF THE ENTIRE ROAD. WHEN I PUT MY HIGH BEAMS ON, OF COURSE DRIVERS COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION PUT THEIRS ON ME. SO WE'RE BOTH BLIND. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED BY CADILLAC OR THE NHTSA. *LN*JB

FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS MY WIFE'S CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. WE HAVE HAD ALL BULBS REPLACED BY BILL CRAMER CHEVROLET IN PANAMA CITY FLORIDA. THE NEW BULBS WERE BETTER FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT NOW WHEN USING THE DIM HEADLIGHTS, YOU CANNOT EVEN TELL THEY ARE ON. THE BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS HAVE TO BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, OR YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING AT ALL. THIS IS A LAWSUIT AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I CAN DEFINITELY SEE MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE LIGHT HOUSING AND I THINK IT IS CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS.

WHILE TRAVELING ON 295 S IN RI .. I FELT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BLOW-OUT OF MY RIGHT REAR TIRE. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SWAYING ALL OVER THE ROAD LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKLY I WENT OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE GRASSY AREA BUT WAS HEADING TOWARD TREES, I MANAGED TO TURN SLIGHTLY TO ONLY SIDE SWIPE ALL THE TREES BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. ALL THE AIR BAGS SIDE CURTAINS DEPLOYED. WHEN FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED ON THE SCENE LET GOT ME OUT OF THE CAR. EXPLAINING ABOUT THE BLOW-OUT THEY EXAMINED THE TIRE TO FIND NO FLAT... THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC CALLED IN THE MORNING TO REPORT THE ISSUE WAS THE SUSPENSION.... HE STATED THE INNER TIRE ROD END WAS NOT TOUQED PROPERLY. MY 2015 SRX WAS TOTALED.

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I REFUSE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IT IS DANGEROUS. I REALIZE THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ALREADY AND EVEN A FEW CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST GM. I JUST WANTED TO ADD ONE MORE
