CADILLAC Complaints

- TAKATA RECALL...STILL AWAITING REPLACEMENT!!! - SHOCKS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED SO I WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIRS WHEN IN FACT MY WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT

EXTREME MOISTURE BUILDUP IN BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES CAUSING DECREASED NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY AND ADDITIONALLY CAUSING BULBS TO BLOW OUT. PURCHASED 2011 SRX USED IN 2017 WITH 63,000 MILES, NOT AWARE OF THE DEFECT AT THAT TIME. A LIMITED WARRANTY WAS ALSO PURCHASED FOR AN ADDITIONAL $2700 BUT WAS INFORMED AFTER ASKING THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE THAT DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT COVERED. QUOTED ALMOST $5,000 TO REPLACE BOTH. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AS WELL AS UNFAIR TO THE PUBLIC, NOT ONLY THE RISK OF FAILURE POTENTIALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $5,000, NOT INCLUDING THE WARRANTY PURCHASED, TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.

WINDSHIELD IS DELAMINATING, CAR HAS 43,000MI AND THE WINDSHIELD IS IN GOOD SHAPE OTHERWISE.

HAVE CALLED CADILLAC DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER SIX MONTH PERIOD AND THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT NEED TO REPAIR OR DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TODAY WHEN I THREATENED AN ONLINE COMPLAINT THEY SUDDENLY COULD ORDER THE PART AND S/B ABLE TO HANDLE IN NEXT SEVEN DAYS.

MY CAR WON'T START IF THE TILT WHEEL IS NOT IN A CERTAIN POSITION. THE ENGINE WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU PUT IT DOWN IN A CERTAIN POSITION---WHICH I GUESS AT. AFTER I START IT I CAN ADJUST THE TILT WHEEL AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM. AFTER STOPPING AND PARKING THE CAR, I HAVE TO GET IT IN THE RIGHT POSITION TO HAVE IT START. (YESTERDAY AFTER 3 ADJUSTMENTS, IT WOULD NOT START.) AFTER RESTING FOR A FEW HOURS, IT STARTED.

THE CUE TOUCHSCREEN IS NOT WORKING. ALL WARNINGS AND SAFETY CO CERN'S WILL NOT SHOW. TRIED HARD RESET AS CADILLAC ADVISED WITH NO LUCK. CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND CADILLAC SAID THE COST IS OVER $ 1500. THE CAR IS TWO YEARS OLD AND CADILLAC AND GM KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2013 AND DID NOTHING TO REMEDY IT. IT'S A HAZARD AND AFTER SERVICING NONE OF THE WARNINGS CAN BE CHANGED. YOU CAN'T USE HANDS FREE CALLING ETC. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITH THE INFORMATION CENTER INOPERABLE. CHECK THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE THOUSANDS IF COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO 2013. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.

GOT IN VEHICLE ON THE EVENING OF DECEMBER 6,2017 IT WAS RAINING COULD NOT SEE DRIVING. IT WAS IF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH LIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM WHICH WAS NOT VERY MUCH BETTER. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS ON THE CADILLAC 2015 SRX VEHICLE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CHECKED VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BLOWN OUT WHICH THEY WERE NOT. I AM HAVING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ALONG WITH TWO OTHER PASSENGERS AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED
