2013 Cadillac SRX Owner Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADDILIAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR HEADLAMPS HAD NOT EMITTED ENOUGH LIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO VIEW THE ROADS DURING NIGHT TIME DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO SUGGESTED THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGE OVER $2000.00 TO CORRECT THIS AND IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT REPLACING THESE LIGHTS WITH THE SAME LIGHTS WILL REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS NEEDS GOVERNMENT ACTION OR PEOPLE WILL GET HURT.

THIS IS A REPORT OF A NEARLY FATAL ACCIDENT ON JUNE 29TH, 2013 WITH A NEW CADILLAC SRX THAT WAS LEASED FROM GM. THE ACCIDENT INVOLVED BOTH ME AND MY DAUGHTER WHO WERE BELTED IN THE VEHICLE WHICH CAUGHT FIRE AND ACCELERATE TO 110 MPH. WE WERE TRAVELING ON RT 127 N WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60 MPH. I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE SPEED STARTED TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE. I WOULD BREAK AND THE SPEED WOULD COME DOWN AND THEN IT WOULD CONTINUE TO RISE. BLACK SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. USING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, IT FINALLY CAME DOWN TO 5MPH, BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. I PULLED OVER AT 5 MPH AND SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK. I USED ONSTAR AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE SHERIFF, AND ANOTHER POLICE OFFICER WERE ON THE SCENE. THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING EVENT!! THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ADRIAN. I LEASED THIS CAR ON 5-31-13, OUR SECOND SRX AND LESS THAN A MONTH OLD. I SENT A LETTER TO [XXX] AT GM REGARDING THE AFOREMENTIONED AND HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE. I AM GOING ON WEEK TWO WITH NO CAR AND NO RESOLUTION WITH THIS INCIDENT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2013 SRX AT THE END OF MARCH 2013. ON MORE THAN 4 OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN AT A STOP. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR COASTS SLIGHTLY BUT DOES NOT GO. I PULL OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN. AFTER REPEATING THIS PROCESS, AND SEVERAL SECONDS LATER THE VEHICLE WILL SLOWLY MOVE. I HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN INCLUDING TWICE WITHIN THE LAST WEEK AND I HAVE SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK. *TR

I HAD A LOSS OF ACCELERATION OCCUR ON THANKSGIVING DAY. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD AT ABOUT 25MPH WHEN I CAME TO THE STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAS TURNING RIGHT. I COASTED UP TO THE STOP SIGN AND LOOKED TO THE LEFT AND IT WAS CLEAR AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TURN RIGHT. I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND IT VERY SLOWLY MOVED ME INTO THE LANE AND THEN STOPPED, IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I DEPRESSED THE GAS ALL THE WAY DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I DIDN'T HEAR THE ENGINE REV AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL OR ANYTHING, IT WAS JUST LIKE IT WAS DEAD. I DIDN'T SEE ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH BUT I WAS MORE CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT I HAD A CAR BEHIND ME THAT I WAS CONCERNED WAS GOING TO REAR END ME AS HE WAS EXPECTING ME TO CONTINUE MOVING AS I TURNED INTO THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY THERE WASN'T A CAR COMING FROM THE LEFT AS I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT SINCE I AS SITTING THERE DIABLED IN THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT 4 SECONDS THE CAR FINALLY RESPONDED AND TOOK OFF. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN SO WHEN IT FINALLY ENGAGED MY TIRES SQUEALED AND I TOOK OFF. SO HERE ARE THE DETAILS: TIME OF INCIDENT WAS 4:02PM ON 11/28/2013 AND THE CAR HAD 1521 MILES ON THE ODO AND A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING ABOUT 4 HRS AND I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 1.5 MILES WHEN IT OCCURRED. THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 64 DEGREES. IF THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE ME FORWARD INTO THE ROAD AND IT JUST DIDN'T RESPOND AT THE STOP SIGN THAT WOULDN'T BE NEARLY AS BAD BUT IT MOVES YOU ABOUT 5 FEET INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN STOPS RESPONDING FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS AND IF THERE WAS AN ON COMING CAR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON THIS FORUMS AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE IN THESE CARS (PARTICULARLY THE 2013). THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND CADILLAC NEEDS TO FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE PEOPLE ARE HURT OR DIES DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

I PURCHASE A CADILLAC SRX 2013 AND AFTER A 6 HOUR TRIP A VERY LOUD NOISE STARTED COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 5-6 TIMES. THEY STATE THAT THE NOISE IS REPRODUCIBLE BUT THEY CAN SEEM TO NAIL DOWN WHERE IT IS COMING FROM. THE NOISE BECOMES LOUDEST AT 35-40 THEN AT 78-80 MPH. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT BENNY BOYDS. I TOOK IT TO ALDERSON AND THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS IN THE FRAME. HOWEVER GM SENT A REP. AND HE DENIED THERE WAS ANY SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END EVEN WITH THE MECHAINC IN THE BACK SEAT VALIDATING THE NOISE. IVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND A OUTSIDE MECHANIC VALIDATE THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. IT IS A ROTATIONAL NOISE THAT IS NOT HEARD IN OTHER SRX'S. I TRIED THE LEMON LAW BUT THE REP DENIED THE PROBLEM AND I WAS ADVISED TO JUST CONTINUE TAKING THE CAR INTO THE SHOP UNTIL THEY CAN FIX IT.

THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE STOP/START BUTTON. BECAUSE THERE IS NO KEY FOR THIS VEHICLE YOU ARE ABLE TO PUSH THE STOP BUTTON WITH THE CAR IN GEAR AND IF YOU DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE WARNING LIGHTS OR CHIME AND GET OUT OF THE CAR IT WILL ROLL AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND LUCKY NO INJURIES SO FAR. BECAUSE OF THE INTERLOCK BETWEEN THE KEY AND THE GEAR SELECTOR ON A VEHICLE WITH A KEY YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY TILL THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. I KNOW A LOT OF CARS NOW HAVE THE STOP/START BUTTON SO AM THINKING THIS MAY CAUSE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS IF THEY ALL WORK IN THIS MANNER. *TR

12/2/2013

WHEN ENTERING THE STREET FROM MY DRIVEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE FOR FOUR TO FIVE SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO GALLES & DAVIS IN ALBUQUERQUE, THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRONIC ACCELERATION SYSTEM AND THAT NOTHING CULD BE DONE. *TR

CADILLAC SRX,DELIVERED ON 5/31/13 (PURCHASED 5/27/13). SRX SERVICED ON 11/11/13 BECAUSE OF WARNING MESSAGES-SERVICE REAR AXEL&AWD ON 10/30/13-CALLED DEALER IMMEDIATELY/ARRANGED SERVICE ON 11/11/13-MILEAGE 6045). ONLY DID COMPUTER UPDATES. ON 11/13/13(MILEAGE 6277) CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN TURNING RIGHT THE CAR WAS IN VERY SLOW MOTION & BARELY MOVING WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS, FINALLY IT MOVED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 11/15/13 (MILEAGE 6498) BUT TURNING LEFT & ANOTHER CAR WAS APPROACHING ON THE RIGHT, THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE HIT. CALLED DEALER & TOLD TO BRING IT BACK. DEALER QUITE A DISTANCE FROM ME AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR THERE. ON 11/19/13 (THOUGHT I COULD GET TO GM DEALER (SAT FROM 11/15/13) & TURNING RIGHT IT DID IT AGAIN. I WAS QUITE UPSET AND CALLED ONSTAR TO TOW IT. GM DEALER, INFORMED, MIGHT NOT HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS THAT THE CADILLAC DEALER HAS TO EVALUATE MY SRX.THEY COULD NOT TELL WHAT MY DEALERSHIP HAD DONE FROM NOTES ON THE SERVICING ON THE SRX. ONLY THING FOUND WAS TO DO EV UPDATE. ON EVENING OF 11/26/13 (MILEAGE 6708)HAD ACCELERATION PROBLEM AGAIN TURNING RIGHT FROM A COMPLETE STOP. CALLED DEALER & ARRANGED TO DROP IT OFF ON 11/29/13 (MILEAGE 7034)& RECEIVE A REPLACEMENT CAR WHILE MINE WAS CHECKED OUT. ON A HIGHWAY I WENT TO PASS A CAR AND LOST ACCELERATION FOR A FEW SECONDS. AT LEAST I WAS GOING DOWNHILL OR THE CARS COMING UP IN THE LANE I WAS SWITCHING TO WOULD HAVE HIT ME. DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT DID FIND THAT THERE WAS AN UPDATE ON HEATING/AC NEEDED. GOT SRX ON 12/4/13.THE DEALER ONLY DROVE MY CAR 8 MILES TO DO ANY TESTING. AGAIN ACCELERATION PROBLEM ON 12/19/13( MILEAGE 7584)& IT WAS FROM A COMPLETE STOP TURNING RIGHT BUT LASTED A MUCH LONGER TIME. ALSO WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE PROBLEM AROSE YET AGAIN & CALLED THE DEALERSHIP.12/21/13 HAVING SRX LOOKED AT AGAIN. 7 MONTHS OLD &SAME PROBLEM. IS IT A LEMON? *TR

I HAD COME TO A STOP TO TURN LEFT. I WAS WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, WHEN THERE WAS ADEQUATE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS, I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR JUST STOOD STILL, NO LIGHTS CAME ON, NO WARNINGS, NO ENGINE REV, NOTHING HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECS. HOWEVER, BY THIS POINT THE CARS WERE CLOSING IN ON ME AND FINALLY AFTER I LET OFF THE PEDAL AND SLAMMED DOWN ON IT AGAIN, MY SRX MOVED AND CLEARED THE ROAD WAY. IT WAS VERY SCARY TO BE SITTING THERE AND EXPECTING THE CAR TO MOVE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND NOTHING HAPPENS. *TR

CUE SYSTEM FROZE UP, NO RESPONSE FROM TOUCH SCREEN, VSS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ON, SEAT HEATERS DO NOT WORK. THUS NO ABILITY TO CONTROL HEATER OR DEFROST SYSTEM AND OWNERS MANUAL INDICATED THAT IF THE VSS LIGHT IS LIT THE VSS SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIONAL. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE IN MICHIGAN IN THE WINTER WITH OUT CONTROL OF THE DEFROSTER AND SINCE THE VSS SYSTEM IS TIED IN TO THE BRAKES I AM NOT CONFIDENT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WILL FUNCTION. VEHICLE PURCHASED 6-29-13 AND HAS APPROX 37,000 MILES. DEALER OFFERED TO REPAIR FOR $1750.00 BUT NEGOTIATED TO $750.00 I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT ON A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 5 "SERVICE UPDATE BULLETINS " WITH SOFTERWARE UPDATED FOR THE CUE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE. SO CLEARLY THERE ARE ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS WITH THIS SYSTEM AND MY LATEST PROBLEM IMPACTS MY SAFETY WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTERTIME. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THES SOFTERWARECAND OPERATIONAL ISSUES TO PRESERVE DRIVER SAFETY WHILE USING THIS VEHICLE. IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE IN LATE AUGUST 2016 AND WHEN STARTED UP IN EARLY NOVEMBER THE CUE CONTROL SYSTEM SCREEN WAS UNRESPONSIVE.

HEADLAMPS (LOW BEAM ONLY) ARE TOO DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IN AREAS WHERE THE ROADS ARE NOT WELL LIT DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS ON IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WE HAVE AVOIDED DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WITH HIGH BEAMS ON (WHICH BECOMES DANGEROUS FOR OTHER DRIVERS). WE REPORTED THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY TO CADILLAC VIA A PHONE CALL AND WAS TOLD TO SEE A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP (MASSEY CADILLAC OF NORTH ORLANDO) INFORMED US THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLAMPS PROJECTOR BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. THE HEADLAMPS CANNOT BE FIXED, ONLY REPLACED. REPLACING THE HEADLAMPS WOULD COST JUST OVER $1,000.00. WE FEEL CADILLAC HAS A DEFECT IN THERE HEADLAMPS AND IS MAKING NO EFFORT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE AS TO WHY CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL OR HELP CUSTOMERS WITH OUT-OF-DATE WARRANTIES. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LOW BEAM GETTING TO HOT AND CREATING DISTORTION OR A BUILD-UP IN THE PROJECTOR. WE CAN TAKE PHOTOS IF NEEDED, BUT FELT IT MIGHT BE HARD TO TELL WHAT'S GOING ON VIA A PHOTO.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-90 IN ILLINOIS WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND STRUCK A VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UNTIL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ACTIVATED AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE SYSTEM, I WENT TO RIZZA CADILLAC AND THE RECALL WAS ALLEGED TO BE PERFORMED ON 25 MARCH 2013, BUT THE VEHICLE DID EXACTLY WHAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE REPAIRED ON THE RECALL AND THE BRAKES FAILED CAUSING THE ACCIDENT.

THE SEAT WARMER IN MY VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED A FIRE IN MY DRIVER'S SEAT. I WAS NOT DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I USED THE AUTO START FEATURE TO TURN ON THE CAR SO I COULD CLEAR THE SNOW FROM MY CAR. WHEN I GOT IN MY VEHICLE, I SAT DOWN AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS MY SEAT THAT WAS ON FIRE.I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BY PATTING THE FLAMES WITH MY GLOVED HANDS BEFORE THE FIRE GOT OUT OF CONTROL. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATE OFFICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS CONCLUDED THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGES NOR WILL THEY ISSUE A RECALL OR WARNING TO OTHER CONSUMERS OF THIS DEFECT. SINCE THIS HAPPENED TO ME I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE OTHER VICTIMS OF THE SAME ISSUE. IN INDIANA, ANOTHER FAMILY HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM AND LIKE ME CADILLAC GENERAL MOTORS IS NOT TAKING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY. I BELIEVE THAT CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE MADE AWARE OF THIS RISK AND SHOULD CADILLAC ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALLOWING THESE TRAGIC SITUATIONS TO CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT INJURED. SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

IT WAS A VERY PLEASANT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2013 AT APPROXIMATELY 4PM. MY SISTER AND I WERE HEADED TO PETERSBURG, VA FROM CHARLOTTE, NC. WITH ONLY 50 MILES TO GO ON 85N WE BOTH HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXTREMELY LOUD AND CLOSE GUN SHOT. I WAS DRIVING AND SHE WAS SLEEPING. IT WOKE HER UP AND SCARRED BOTH OF US TO DEATH. NOT KNOWING WHAT JUST HAPPENED SHE STARTED LOOKING AROUND. THE NEXT THING WE HEARD WAS GLASS BREAKING AND FALLING ON TO THE SUNROOF LINER OF THE CAR. LUCKILY WE WERE ONLY A MILE FROM A REST AREA. I PULLED OVER, GOT OUT OF THE CAR, OPENED THE BACK DOOR TO STAND ON THE INSIDE TO BE ABLE TO SEE ON TOP AND WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK AT WHAT I SAW. ONE SECTION OF MY SUNROOF HAD BEEN BROKEN. MY CAR HAS A PANORAMIC SUNROOF WITH TWO SEPARATE PANELS. THE BACK PANEL WAS SHATTERED INTO MILLIONS OF TINY FRAGMENTS. THE GLASS CONTINUED TO BREAK AND FALL ON TO THE LINER. SMALL PIECES MANAGED TO GET THROUGH ONTO THE BACK SEAT. I DID THE BEST I COULD IN CLEANING UP THE PIECES. I CALLED A STATE TROOPER AND MADE A REPORT, I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND ALSO ONSTAR. I SPENT THE WEEKEND WITH NO SUNROOF BECAUSE THE CADILLAC SERVICE DEPT IN VA IS NOT OPEN ON THE WEEKEND. IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE BEING THAT I PURCHASED MY CAR ON TUESDAY AND THIS HAPPENED ON FRIDAY. IT'S BEEN A WEEK AND A HALF SINCE I DROPPED MY CAR OFF TO BE REPAIRED AND I CAN FINALLY PICK IT UP ON TOMORROW. I WON'T COMPLAIN BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE, I AM TRULY BLESSED. *TR

MY RADIO DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. IT SEEMS THAT I CAN HEAR THE SIRIUS RADIO STATIONS BUT THE I CANNOT HEAR THE FM STATIONS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS THE WEEK I PURCHASED THE CAR AND I THOUGHT IS WAS "OPERATOR" ERROR SINCE THE SYSTEM WAS VERY DIFFERENT THAN MY PREVIOUS CAR. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I MAY HAVE INADVERTENTLY HIT MUTE. OVERTIME I REALIZED MUTE WAS NOT ON, AND THAT I COULD HEAR THE SIRIUS RADIO STATIONS. WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NEXT WEEK. *TR

AFTER COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, I WILL TRY TO PUSH MY GAS PEDAL AND THE SRX WILL MOVE ABOUT 2 FEET OR SO AND THEN COMPLETELY STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES AND BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE SRX DOESN'T MAKE ANY NOISE WHILE PUSHING THE PEDAL, IT JUST ACTS AS IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT MOVE AGAIN IS IF I CHANGE IT INTO REVERSE OR NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. I'VE BEEN ALMOST KILLED AT DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY OF 2013. THE CUE SYSTEM IS ALSO HAVING SOME ISSUES SUCH AS THE RADIO WILL COMPLETELY STOP WORKING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AT A TIME EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWS THAT I'M PUSHING BUTTONS TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL OR VOLUME. I OWNED A 2011 SRX BEFORE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I'M 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND AFRAID THAT I'LL END UP IN A DEADLY VEHICLE CRASH. PLEASE HELP! *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH BLIND SPOT SENSORS AND THE ONES LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAVE NEVER WORKED PROPERLY FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR RESOLUTION FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF WITH NO SUCCESS. THE SENSOR ONLY WORKS 40 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND THE REMAINDER IS JUST FALSE READINGS OR NO READINGS AT ALL CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM AND THEY HAVE COME BACK AND SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE, I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY CONSIDER A SAFETY FEATURE DESIGNED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY THAT ONLY WORKS 40 PERCENT OF THE TIME AS BEING NORMAL. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED AT SOME POINT IN TIME THERE WILL BE A FATAL ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT ONE OF WHEN. *TR

THIS MORNING I WAS PARKED IN A LOT OUTSIDE OF A STORE WITH MY TRUNK OPEN. I WAS LEANING IN THE TRUNK MOVING ITEMS AROUND. I CAN ONLY ASSUME I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE TRUNK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB UNKNOWINGLY. THE TRUNK CLOSED DOWN ONTO MY BACK AND FELT AS IF IT WAS INTENT ON CLOSING EVEN THOUGH MY BODY WAS PREVENTING THE TRUNK FROM CLOSING. I COULD NOT PULL BACK AS THE DOOR LITERALLY HAD ME PINNED IN THE TRUNK. MY HUSBAND RAN AROUND TO THE BACK OF THE CAR AS DID ANOTHER GENTLEMAN IN THE PARKING LOT. MY HUSBAND BEGAN HOLLERING TO HIT THE BUTTON WHICH I STILL HAD. THE DOOR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO LIFT AFTER HITTING THE DOOR RELEASE BUTTON OF THE FOB. THE EVENT WAS SHOCKING ENOUGH THAT I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED HAD MY HUSBAND AND A PASSERBY NOT HOLLERED FOR ME TO PUSH THE BUTTON BRINGING ME OUT OF THE STATE OF SHOCK OR IF INSTEAD OF AN ADULT A YOUNG CHILD HAD THE DOOR CLOSING ON THEM. THE WEIGHT AND PRESSURE OF THE DOOR PREVENTED ME FROM DOING MUCH MORE THAN PUSHING THE BUTTON. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2014 CADILLAC SRX. AFTER LESS THAN TWO YEARS AND 24,728 MILES THE DEALER TELLS ME MY TIRES ARE WORN OUT. I QUESTION THE DEALER BECAUSE I HAVE MAINTAINED THE TIRES IN ACCORDANCE WITH GM AND CADILLAC GUIDELINES.

SINCE PURCHASED NEW, THIS CAR HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF RECALLS THAT HAVE/HAVE NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURED 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE--AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE A NOISE SIMILAR TO THAT OF WORN BRAKE PADS/ROTOR AT SLOW SPEEDS. UPON MY PERSONAL INSPECTION, THE BLUE LUG NUTS WERE LESS THAN HAND TIGHT ON DRIVERS FRONT AND PASSENGER REAR--THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR FIRST OIL CHANGE AND TO INSPECT THIS DEFECT--THEY STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE LUG NUT RECALL THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED ON OTHER SRX MODELS.I STATED CONCERN OF THE INTEGRITY OF THE WHEEL STUDS SINCE THEY WERE LIKELY STRESSED WHILE DRIVING WITH LOOSE NUTS, ALONG WITH POTENTIAL UNEVEN TIRE WEAR, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT AGREE. 6 MONTHS LATER, A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR DOOR HANDLES--THE FIX WAS REMOVING AND MILLING DOWN PARTS AND PLACING BACK ON. 6 MONTHS LATER, THE CAR WOULD NEARLY STALL OUT/HAVE DELAYED RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN--THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF OCCURED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC (LUCKILY NEVER THE CASE)-- THOUGHT THIS WAS DUE TO WIFE LETTING GAS LEVEL REACH LOW LEVEL BEFORE REFILLING, BUT FOUND OUT WAS ELECTRONIC ISSUE IN THE PROGRAM (RECALLED AND FIXED). 2 MONTHS LATER THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT WELL BETWEEN RAPID ACCELERATION--RECIEVED NOTIFICATION OF ANOTHER COMPUTER ISSUE THAT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION. (ALTHOUGH A CARD WAS SENT IN THE MAIL NOTIFYING OF THIS ISSUE, THIS DID NOT SHOW UP ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE WHEN SEARCHED). A TRUE CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN--ADDITIONALLY DUE TO THE NATURE OF SOME OF THESE ISSUES, THERE IS CONCERN WITH THE MECHANICAL INTEGRITY OF THIS VEHCILE IN THE FUTURE--STRESS ON WHEEL STUDS, DRAWN OUT AUTOMATIC SHIFTING CAUSING STRESS ON THE TRANSMISSION.ALTHOUGH MANY OF THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN "FIXED" THESE CORRECTIONS DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT OTHER DAMGE
