2010 Cadillac Srx

MY 2010 CADILLAC SRX PREMIUM RIGHT (PASSENGER SIDE) HEADLAMP IS LEAKING AND CAUSING CONDENSATION BUILD UP ON LENS, CAUSING THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM NOT TO WORK. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED A PRICE OF APPROXIMATELY $1500 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP, AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS 55,500 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY, IN TURN, CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID GM WOULD NOT PAY THE ENTIRE COST, BUT WOULD SHARE THE COST, QUOTING A FIGURE OF "POSSIBLY" $500. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD REPLACE FOR NOTHING. FROM READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, AS WELL AS ON THE "CADILLAC FORUM" SITE, I CONCLUDED THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS HEADLAMP HAS A FAULTY HEADLAMP. I FEEL GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AS THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

ON 2 OCCASIONS THIS MONTH MY 2010 SRX WENT FROM GOING APPROX 65 MPH TO AROUND 20 MPH MAX ON MAJOR FREEWAYS. I WORKED MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER, CALLED ONSTAR, THEY PROMPTED ME TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CADILLAC DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AT $784. THIS WAS SO SCARY LOSING POWER ON THE FREEWAY LIKE THIS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

AFTER A RAINY DAY, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING AND THE ALERT ON MY CAR SAID TO CHECK LEFT LOW BEAM. WHEN INSPECTING, I NOTICED THAT IT WAS NOT TURNING ON. I WENT TO THE AUTO STORE TO CHECK ON LIGHT BULBS AND THEN CONFIRMED THAT THE FUSE'S AND THE LIGHT WERE WORKING PERFECTLY FINE. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ON THE LIGHT, THE CAR HEADLAMP SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN. NOW AS OF 01/23/2015 ANOTHER FEW RAINY DAYS AND NOW BOTH OF MY HEADLAMPS ARE OUT ALONG WITH THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. LUCKILY MY FOG LIGHTS STILL WORKED TO GET ME HOME SAFELY AT NIGHT. *TR

THE HEAD LIGHT LENS LEAK AT THE SEAM. BOTH HEAD LIGHTS ARE EFFECTED. MOISTURE ACCUMULATES INSIDE THE LENS AND DISTORTS THE HEAD LIGHT BEAM. THIS REDUCES THE CLARITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEAD LIGHTS. I HAVE REPLACED ONE HEADLIGHT AT 45,000 MILES. THE HEAD LIGHT SEAL LEAKS WATER. POOR MANUFACTURING AND A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AS THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,900. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS MAKING A TURN ON TO A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND IT JUST POWERED OFF IT DID RESTART. SECOND TIME WAS DEC 2014 I WAS IN STALLED TRAFFIC MOVING REAL SLOW AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF BUT THIS TIME IT DID IT THREE TIMES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME SAME AS FIRST TIME AND IM PRETTY WORRIED CAUSE IM PLANNING ANOTHER TRIP IN TWO WEEKS TO WISCONSIN. *TR

VEHICLE HAS A MOON ROOF DESIGN THAT UTILIZES DRAIN TUBES TO DIRECT WATER AWAY FROM THE ROOF AREA. THE DRAIN SYSTEM FAILED ALLOWING RAIN WATER TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. WATER SOAKED THE FLOOR AREA WHERE WIRING WAS ROUTED TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE WIRING HARNESS TO FAIL DUE TO WATER CONTAMINATION AT THE CONNECTION POINTS. REAR HATCH BEGAN TO OPEN UNCONTROLLABLY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. REAR HATCH FINALLY FAILED AND WOULD NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER ENTERED THE INTERIOR OF THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THERE WAS AN ERROR MESSAGE IN MY DISPLAY TO CHECK PASSENGER LOW BEAM. I HAD THE PASSENGER HEADLAMP REPLACED AT A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF $369.00. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND DROVE TO MY DESTINATION DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. WHEN I LEFT MY DESTINATION IT HAD GOTTEN DARK AND WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLAMP STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THE SEAL ON THE HEADLAMP IS NO GOOD THEREFORE ALLOWING MOISTURE TO DEVELOP INSIDE THE HEADLAMP WHICH CAUSES THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS MODEL AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS AT TIMES WHEN IT WOULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE. THE REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY (APPROXIMATELY $1400 PER HEADLAMP). THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP AS WELL SO IT STANDS TO REASON THAT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT LAMP STOPS WORKING. I ONLY HAVE 73,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND WITHOUT SPENDING $3000 TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM, I COULD FIND MYSELF WITH NO LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS IN MY OPINION MOST DEFINITELY A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE! *JS
