2010 Cadillac Srx

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT PLUG ASSEMBLY ON THE 2010 SRX. THE FAULTY PLUG WOULD CAUSE THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS TO NOT FUNCTION. THE PLUG WOULD ALLOW FOR THE HIGH BEAMS TO WORK PROPERLY BUT THE PLUG WOULD NOT ALLOW THE HALOGEN LOWBEAM SAID TO WORK. DAVID TAYLOR SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER A FEW YEARS LATER THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME COMPLETELY INOPERABLE CAUSING THE DRIVER TO HAVE ZERO VISIBILITY WHILE USING THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HIGHBEAMS WOULD WORK PERFECTLY. I ARGUED WITH THE DEALER THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PLUG HOWEVER THEY INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURING ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE LOW BEAM LENS AND IN TURN CLOUD THE LENS. I INSISTED OTHERWISE BECAUSE THERE WAS VISIBLE CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BUT NONE IN THE LOW BEAMS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS SITUATION HAD ME OVER A BARREL BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAD ALREADY BEEN RISKING THEIR LIFE AND OTHER DRIVERS LIVES ON THE ROAD WHILE BEING FORCED TO DRIVE WITH ONLY HIGH BEAMS OR WITHOUT ANY ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD WAY AT ALL. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SPEND 1500 DOLLARS ON HEADLIGHTS. NOW REGARDLESS OF THE REASON WHETHER IT WAS A FAULTY MANUFACTURED PLUG OR A FAULTY SEALED MANUFACTURED HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY THE PROBLEMS IT POSES ARE THE SAME. CADILLAC HAS A POORLY MANUFACTURED HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND PLUG ASSEMBLY THAT ARE ENDANGERING PEOPLE'S LIVES. WHEN THESE LOW BEAMS BECOME INOPERABLE THE DRIVER HAS ZERO VISIBILITY AND ARE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN DRIVING WITH THEIR HIGHBEAMS ON AND BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS OR DRIVING WITHOUT ANY HEADLIGHTS WHICH COULD CAUSE DEATH OR BODILY HARM TO THE DRIVER OR ANY PROPERTY OR PERSONS THAT THE DRIVER CANNOT SEE. CADILLAC KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT ARE WILLING TO RISK PEOPLE'S LIVES IN ORDER TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS. THEY HAVE A FAULTY PRODUCT THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD RESOLVE BEFORE THERE IS LOSS OF LIFE

THE REAR LIFT GATE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE SUNROOF DRAIN APPARENTLY IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT DRAIN AND AS A RESULT ALLOWS WATER TO SHORT OUT AND DESTROY THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE DRAIN THAT SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. THE REAR LIFT GATE BECAME INOPERABLE AGAIN THIS TIME BECOMING COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THE CADILLAC DEALER DAVID TAYLOR BLAMED THE SUNROOF DRAIN ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT WARRANTY THEIR PAST WORK NOR THEIR FUTURE ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM SAYING ONLY THAT AT ANY TIME THE DRAIN COULD BECOME CLOGGED AGAIN CAUSING THE CONTROL MODULE TO SHORT OUT AND IF IT WAS PAST ONE YEAR OR TWELVE THOUSAND MILES THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER GRAND TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN. SO BASICALLY A RECALL ITEM A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT IS ARESPONSIBILITY OF CADILLAC IS NOW A REOCCURRING PROBLEM THAT IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO SPEND A THOUSAND DOLLARS EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS FOR A NON WEATHER ABLE ITEM. THIS IS NOT A MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION OR A SET OF TIRES THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER AND THEREFORE THE DEALER. THE REAR LIFT GATE IS DANGEROUS WHEN OPERABLE DUE TO OPENING AND CLOSING IMPROPERLY ERRATICALLY AND UNEXPECTANTLY POSSIBLY GETTING AN ADULT CHILD OR ANIMALS LIMBS OR EXTREMITIES CAUGHT IN THE LIFT GATE. ALSO WHEN THE LIFT GATE BECOMES COPLETELY INOPERABLE ONE MIGHT HAVE A LIMB OR EXTREMITY CAUGHT AND NOT HAVE ANY MEANS OF OPENING THE LIFT GATE MANUALLY FOR WHEN IT STOPS WORKING THERE IS NO WAY TO RELEASE IT. CADILLAC IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THIS UNIT AND ARE RISKING CONSUMERS SAFETY BUT JUST REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. 780000 GM LIFT GATES RECALLED WHY NOT CADILLAC

LEFT HEADLAMP UNIT CONTAINED SEVERE MOISTURE. BLEW OUT BALLAST OF HID UNIT AT 36000 MILES, HEADLIGHT NOT USABLE. REPLACED ENTIRE HEADLAMP UNIT FOR $1525. NEW UNIT LEAKED AS WELL. ENTIRE HEADLAMP UNIT REPLACED AGAIN. CALLED GM TO ASSIST WITH OBVIOUS FAULTY MANUFACTURED PART FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. GM CUSTOMER RELATIONS PLAYED DUMB, STATING THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. CAN'T PASS STATE INSPECTION WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS. THIS WAS A HAZARD AND GM SHOULD REIMBURSE, AND RECALL.

MY HEADLIGHTS FILL WITH CONDENSATION AND WATER. HAVE READ ON THE CADILLAC FORUMS THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES ON CADILLAC SRX 2010- 2014 ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST NITE DRIVING IN RAIN ME RIGHT HEADLIGHT SHORTED OUT BECAUSE OF WATER INSIDE THE HEADLITE.I WENT OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I COULDNT SEE IF A TREE HAD BEEN THERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I IN FORMED CADILLAC ANOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTING THEY COULD DOMY CAR HAS 56,670 MILES I BOUGHT IT WITH 52,300 MILES SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED .THESES LIGHT COST 1200.00 DOLLARS WHICH IS WHY CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL THEM FOR SAFETY.I WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH.WENT OF THE ROSD INTO A FIELD NO DAMAGE TO CAR OR PROPERTY BUT WHEN YOUR LITES FAIL AT NITE IN RAIN ITS EASY TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE UPON OPERATING THE VEHICLE OR MAKING A TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TWICE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT, UPON OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE NOISE CONTINUED AND HE NOTICED THAT THE BUSHINGS WERE TWISTED AND DRY ROTTED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHILE MAKING A TURN AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT, A MECHANIC, PURCHASED THE PART FROM THE DEALER AND REPLACED THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. UPDATED 02/05/16*LJ; UPDATED 03/27/18*JB

THE HEADLIGHTS FILL WITH WATER AND THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO WORK STRANGELY. CURRENTLY, MY LEFT HEADLIGHT WORKS BUT NOT THE TURN SIGNAL OR DAY BEAMS. THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT IS OUT BUT THE TURN SIGNAL AND DAY BEAM WORK. I TOOK IT TO A CADILLAC DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY'VE SEEN THIS ISSUE FREQUENTLY. GM DOES NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN FIXING THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $3,000 FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR EVERY SINCE THE MOON ROOF DRAIN WHICH IS A RECALL NOW CAR WAS FLOODED BROUGHT IT TO DEALER GOT IT BACK IT WAS EVEN WORSE THE CHANGED THE DRAIN AGAIN SINE THEN IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER AT LEAST 20 TIMES RADIO GOES UP AND DOWN REAR LIGHTS STAY ON BATTERY DEAD IN THE MORNING EVERY LIGHT YOU CAN IMAGINE ONE TIME OR ANOTHER FROM AIR BAGS TO NO KEY FAB WAS SERVICED THEY FLASH THE PC 3 TIMES TRIED TO CONTACT CADILLAC EARLY RESPONSE TEAM RAN ME AROUND FOR 2 YEARS HAD MY ATTORNEY CALL THEN THEY WOULD NOT GIVE HIM ADDRESS FOR LEGAL DEPT AND HUNG UP ON HIM . ON 8/22 /2015 I OPENED THE REAR HATCH AS I ALWAYS DO WITH THE FAB I WENT TO GET SOMETHING OUT THE REAR HATCH CAME DOWN PUSHED ME TO THE GROUND HITTING ME IN MY NECK WHICH I HAD SURGERY 18 YEARS AGO THE REAR HITCH CONTINUED TO GO UP AND DOWN .IT GOES UP STAYS FOR FEW SECONDS THE COMES DOWN FAST HALF WAY AND GOES UP AND DOWN.CADILLAC SEND A INVESTIGATOR TO MY HOME AND HE COULD NOT GET THE HATCH TO STAY UP I HAVE BOUGHT SINCE 1975 OVER 25 CADILLACS AND DULLEY PICKUPS OVER THE YEARS YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE TREATED ME BETTER NEEDLESS TO SAY SINCE THIS STARTED I HAVE BOUGHT 4 MERCEDES BENZ AND HAVE TO SAY WHAT A DIFFERENCE .

I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW, BUT THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING. SQUEAKS, RATTLES, VIBRATIONS AND THUMPING PREVAILED FROM THE BEGINNING THE DEALER REPLACED A STRUT AFTER 10K, THEN STEERING AND THEN BUSHINGS. HOWEVER, ALL THE SYMPTOMS ABOVE REMAINED. AT LOWER SPEEDS, THE VIBRATIONS WORSENED, AS DID THE MOANING, THE RATTLING, ETCETERA. OTHERWISE, THE CAR AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN RELIABLE, INCLUDING ENGINE AND BRAKES. I PERFORMED ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE RELIGIOUSLY, I DRIVE GENTLY AND MOSTLY HIGHWAY. A NEW DEALER OPENED CLOSER TO HOME, AND I BEGAN GOING TO THEM. LAST DECEMBER, I ASKED THEM TO REPAIR THE FRONT END, AFTER YEARS OF ENDURING A LOUSY RIDE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAD 80,000 MILES. AFTER 3 DAYS, AND $1700, THE DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUES, WITH NEW STRUTS, BUSHINGS AND STEERING COIL. HOWEVER, WITHIN 3 MONTHS, ALL THE ORIGINAL DEFECTS REEMERGED. IN FACT, THE VIBRATIONS WORSENED, WITH A FEELING THAT THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION WAS LOOSE FROM THE CHASSIS, AND VIBRATIONAL THUMPS AT HIGHWAY DRIVING SOUND LIKE AN 18 WHEELER WHEN IT DRIVES OVER TRAIN TRACKS, WITH BOOMS, AS IF THE AXLE DISENGAGES FROM THE ENTIRE MONO-FRAME. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RELIABLE AND FINE, I LIKE THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LOOKS. HOWEVER, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW AND HAS ROBBED ME FROM ENJOYING ANY MOMENT IN THIS VEHICLE. FINALLY, I AM GETTING MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE FRONT END. IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T IMPROVE IT, WHEN I SCHEDULE MY SERVICE IN TWO WEEKS, I WILL SELL MY CAR IN DESPAIR, BUT I'M DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE, THE AWFUL RIDE QUALITY, AND CHRONIC SYMPTOMS WHICH NO CAR SHOULD EVER DISPLAY. I SINCERELY HOPE YOU CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. THANKS. *TR
