CADILLAC Complaints

SINCE OCT. 2014 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE"STABILITY SYSTEM" TO BE SERVICED YET IT WORKS??? THE HOOD HASN'T EVER STAYED UP WHICH HAD BEEN A PAIN BEING STARTING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE BATTERY STARTING HAVING ISSUES IN THE COLD WEATHER. SOMETHING IS DRAINING IT AND I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE.

HEADLAMP CONDENSATION CAUSING LAMP TO GO OUT SOMETIMES WILL COME BACK ON. SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. NEVER HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS EXPENSIVE CONDENSATION AND LAMP. POLICE ENJOY STOPPING VEHICLES WITH NO LIGHT! THIS HAS BEENOCCURING OVER LAST 6 MONTHS MORE OFF THAN ON. RAIN REALLY MAKES WORSE. CONDENSATION NEVER COMPLETELY GOES AWAY AND INSIDE INDICSTOR LIGHT STAYSON ALL THE TIME 24/7. #2 ANOTHER ISSUE IS SUN ROOF WILL NOT SHUT. WINDOW WILL CLOSE BUT COVER STOPS HALF WAY AND WILL NOT ADVANCE ANY FURTHER. HAD TAKEN TO BAKER CADILLAC IN CHARLESTON, SC FOR SERVICE MARCH 1 2016. WORKED ON IT FOR 2 DAYS AND TOLD NOT FIXABLE. WHY IS IT NOT FIXABLE? RECALLS SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THESE PROBLEMS SRX OWNERS ARE HAVING ON THESE LUXAURY VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL IN TOWN, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. ONLY COMPONENT STILL WORKING WAS THE RADIO. NO FLASHERS, NO TURN SIGNALS. WAS ABLE TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. DASH LOOKED DIFFERENT AFTER RESTART, INFO MISSING. DROVE A FEW MORE BLOCKS, STOPPED AND SHUT CAR DOWN. WHEN I RESTARTED AGAIN THE VEHICLE WAS BACK TO NORMAL.

VEHICLE HAS ON 43,921 MILES AND THE FRONT HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY GOT WATER IN IT AND BLEW OUT THE HID HEADLIGHT. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SEALED UNITS AND SHOULD NOT EVER LEAK. NEVER IN ANY OTHER CAR I'VE EVER OWNED HAS THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLE LEAKED. FURTHER THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND YEAR MODEL, AND CADILLAC SHOULD BE REPLACING THEM AT NO COST
