2016 Cadillac SRX Owner Complaints

THE LOW BEAM (DIM LIGHTS) ARE HORRIBLE. I ALMOST HIT A MAN WALKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LAST NIGHT. YOU CANNOT SEE 30' IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON DIM. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON. THE HIGH BEAM WORKS GREAT, BUT VEHICLES COMING AT YOU ARE GETTING BLINDED BY YOUR HIGH BEAMS. YOU SWITCH TO LOW BEAM, THEN YOU CANNOT SEE! I HAVE SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. SHAME ON THE GOVERNMENT FOR NOT FIXING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

FRONT BEAM LIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH, THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION. I HAD TO USE THE HIGHEST BEAM DURING NIGHT DRIVING IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. HOWEVER, WHEN THE HIGHEST BEAM WAS USED, IT BLIND THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME OR BLIND THE DRIVER COMING IN THE OPPOSITE . THIS PROBLEM IS IMPERATIVE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS!!

THE CAR HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION AT SPEEDS BEGINNING ABOUT 55MPR AND INCREASING UP TO 70MPR. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND SALE PERSON DROVE THE CAR AND OBSERVED THE SAME FAULT. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR WITH 20 TOTAL MILES. THE CONDITION WAS FIRST OBSERVED ON THE FIRST HIGHWAY DRIVE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55 AND 70 MPH. AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS TO BALANCE AND CHANGE TIRES; I WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR AXLES, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I ALSO DROVE ANOTHER NEW LUXURY CAR WITH THE DEALER AND IT PERFORMED THE SAME WAY; SUGGESTED THESE WERE SEASON END VEHICLES PROBLEMS.

WE WERE ON VACATION, DRIVING DOWN I89 IN VT, NICE SPRING SUNNY DAY. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 70MPH ON THIS OPEN HIGHWAY , WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HEARD WHAT SOUND LIKE A GUN SHOT. THEN THE CRACKEL OF THE GLASS AND OUR 2016 CADILLAC SRX SUNROOF COLLAPSED DOWN ON TOP OF US. TO SAY THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AS THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. IN RESEARCHING THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. WHY IS SOMEONE NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? THIS IS CLEARLY SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURING FLAW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHERE IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE CONTACTS ATTENTION THAT RODENTS HAD CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DIGITAL AND ANALOG SPEEDOMETERS ARE NOT SYNCHRONIZED, VARIATION OF 3+ MPH. GM STATES VARIATION IS NOT ADJUSTABLE, IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS, BUT WILL NOT STATE WHICH READING IS ACCURATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE THE DRIVER CANNOT ACCURATELY TELL IF THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING A HIGHER SPEED THAN SHOWN ON THE SPEEDOMETER.

4 Mar 2021 passenger side front wheel bearing failed while returning home from anniversary trip with 37,733 miles on our SRX. Dealer stated that SRX was out of warranty due to time after purchase. 5 July 2021 passenger side rear wheel bearing failed while returning home from family trip with 40,003 miles on our SRX. Called Cadillac Customer Care and received a case number. Immediately received an email stating that she was my customer advocate and would get back to me within 3 working days (email is attached). NO ONE has ever contacted me. I have contacted CCC on four different occasions with a promise every time that someone would get back to me within 48-72 hours. NO RESPONSE. I have not been discourteous to any of the Customer Care personnel and therefore, have no idea of why they do not respond to me, even if it was a DENIAL. I get the impression that this problem may be greater than they want to acknowledge and they are hoping that I will just go away. I will not, this is more about principal at this point than money. Can you provide me guidance on what to do next, or can you assist in obtaining a response to my case?

MY CAR WAS IN LINE FOR A CAR WASH AT VAL WARD CADILLAC PARKING LOT. MY ELECTRONIC BRAKE WAS ON. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATED THIS. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE BUT STATIONARY FOR APPROX TWO MINUTES. THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS HIT IN THE BACK. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR SURGED FORWARD. MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CARS WERE SEPARATED BY VAL WARD PERSONNEL. THEY HAD TO RELEASE MY ELECTRONIC BRAKE IN ORDER TO MOVE MY CAR. PER CADILLAC, IF ELECTRONIC BRAKE IS ENGAGED, IT WILL RELEASE WHEN GAS PEDAL PRESSURE IS APPLIED. MY FEET WERE ON THE FLOOR OF CAR WHEN SURGE OCCURRED. I DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. CONVENIENTLY, THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VAL WARD CADILLAC BODY SHOP OFFICE. AS FAR AS I KNOW THE CAR WAS NOT TOWED, BUT PUSHED INTO REPAIR SHOP. I WILL NEVER USE THAT ELECTRONIC BRAKE AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A WARNING TO ELECTRONIC BRAKE USERS. 7 MPH LISTED BELOW IS A GUESS, AS I WENT FROM STOPPED IN LINE TO SURGING FORWARD.

TAKATA RECALL-THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. YOU HAVE TURN ON THE BRIGHTS IN ORDER TO SEE IN NORMAL NIGHT VISION AREAS. WHILE BRIGHT IS TOO BRIGHT TO DRIVE FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT OF RUNNING OFF THE ROAD DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE LANE OR THE PEOPLE WALKING ALONG SIDE THE ROAD. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS DANGER. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR 2YRS.

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON APRIL 9,2016, WITH 5 MILES ON IT . WE TOOK THE CAR OUT OF TOWN ON APRIL 11,2016. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 400 MILES, WHILE IN CITY TRAFFIC ,THE ENGINE BEGAN REVVING AND THE CAR JERKED, AND POPPED OUT OF DRIVE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED ON STAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS THE FOLLOWING DAY WAS EXTENSIVE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. EVIDENTLY, A METAL PIECE BROKE LOOSE IN THE CLUTCH PLATE AND LODGED IN THE VALVE BODY. TODAY IS MAY 11, 2016 AND WE STILL DO NOT HAVE POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE TOLD IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND TRANSPORTED, BUT ARE SKEPTICAL.

5/11/2016

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 11 DAYS AGO. TODAY, WITH ABOUT 581 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE; HOWEVER, ON THE UPSHIFT FROM 1ST INTO 2ND (NOT SURE, IT COULD BE FROM 2ND TO 3RD, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF SHIFTING TO THE NEXT GEAR. PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN FROM STOP. SAME PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR INTO NEUTRAL, WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN "D". REVERSE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. HAD VEHICLE FLAT-BEDDED TO DEALER. AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. DID CALL ON-STAR. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND SAID IT SHOWED THAT SOMETHING WRONG WITH INTERFACE BETWEEN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON DURING THIS WHOLE FIASCO. ON STAR SAYS THE WHEELS ARE NOT RECEIVING POWER FROM THE ENGINE. THIS IS ALSO A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IF MERGING INTO FAST MOVING TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE AT FIRST, BUT WILL SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND JUST SLOW DOWN AND COAST, MAKING YOU A CRASH TARGET FOR ONCOMING OR FOLLOWING VEHICLES.

Case #: [XXX] ] I have a 2016 Cadillac SRX (VIN: [XXX] ) that I have owned for 8 years. Throughout this period, I have encountered some minor issues that were easily remedied. On [XXX], I started my car and some warning light came on. •The ABS light •The power steering light •The anti-skid traction light I contacted Scranton Motors in Vernon, CT and was told I had a faulty brake module: part number 20842710. Furthermore, I was told that this part number has been discontinued and no longer available. I contacted Cadillac customer care and spoke to customer service rep Alegra 866-790-5600 at extension 5918222 and she gave me a list of suppliers who may have this part. Again, I was told that this part was discontinued. The parts department had to go to the aftermarket to see if they could locate this part. It was found on eBay. I was told that the part could be installed but there is NO guarantee that it would work. I was left with no choice but to have the part installed knowing that I would be driving an unsafe vehicle that could malfunction at any time. As stated earlier this vehicle is about 8 years and what I do not understand is why Cadillac would stop production on such a critical part that could cause physical harm to its passengers. In doing some investigating I found the Cadillac Forum in which other owners experience the same problem. I have owned 4 Cadillacs over the last 9 years and for the most part I have been very happy with their performance. It appears to me that Cadillac should take some responsibility and compensate me for not producing a safe vehicle to drive. The trade in value according to Kelley Blue. Book is $14,000 and therefore, I should be reimbursed accordingly On December 12, 2024, I received a phone call from Scranton Motors advising me that the part that they had received from eBay did not work. Therefore, I cannot operate this vehicle and it is totally useless. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS. THEY ARE NOT SAFE!! WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR HELP, ONLY TO GET A "IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM" RESPONSE. GM IS SURELY AWARE, AS A SEARCH FOR HELP WITH THE ISSUE POPS UP MANY COMPLAINTS AND POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS. WHAT BRINGS ME HERE NOW IS, MY WIFE RECENTLY DONE SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND MINOR PERSONAL INJURY WHEN SHE HIT AN OBJECT IN THE ROAD THAT COULD HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF SHE COULD HAVE SEEN IT!! WE ARE JUST THANKFUL THIS WAS NOT A PERSON. I WOULD GLADLY TESTIFY THAT THIS COULD ACTUALLY BE A POSSIBILITY IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE WITH THESE LIGHTS. WE WERE TOLD WE COULD REPLACE WITH THE SAME LIGHT, AT OUR COST (APPX. $1500.00) WHICH I'M SURE WOULD SOON HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHICH SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM AT ALL WITH A TWO YEAR OLD $50,000.00 CAR. PLEASE HELP US AND ALL THE OTHERS WITH CORRECTING THIS, BEFORE SOMETHING REALLY BAD OR DEADLY HAPPENS, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. WE HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL FRIENDS IN OUR HOME TOWN WITH THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

We had our vehicle recalled for links in the rear suspension some weeks ago. Saturday 6/4/22 we were going south on hwy 19 south of Tavares Florida at 45 to 50 MPH in a light rain. We went thru a light puddle in the road twitched. Didn't feel like anything I had experienced before. A couple of blocks further on the back of the car veered back and forth significantly and I thought i had blown a tire, all tires were hard. We returned the car home gingerly and completed our trip with our daughters car, When we got home i got under the car to see if I could find anything bent or broken, I was astonished to find both back tires bald and thru 2 layers of cord halfway across the inside face of each. The car has 48609 total miles. The tires have about 22000 on them. The car has been dealer serviced , on schedule including tire rotation.

On Sept 26 2021 I was driving my car when I noticed it began jumpy and would hesitate at high speeds then when coming to a stop. After coming to a stop my car seemed it was stalling out while sitting at the stop light. Proceeded to go and my car didn't want to go into 1st-3rd gears. I just got this car 5 months ago It is very concerning when I need to make a sudden acceleration and cannot. I am highly concerned my car has a recall that never was issued to fix this dangerous problem.

9/28/2021

I ASKED THE DEALER IF THE VEHICLE WE WERE CONTEMPLATING BUYING HAD ANY ACCIDENTS.DEALER SHOWED ME A CARFAX THAT DID NOT REFLECT ANY ACCIDENTS AND STATED AS SUCH. UPON GOING IN TO TRADE MY VEHICLE THIS WEEKEND I WAS MADE AWARE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THREE ACCIDENTS WITH STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND THE VEHICLE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN PAID. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE DEALER FOR THE CARFAX. THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE ACCIDENT HAPPENED LESS THAN 30 DAYS BEFORE SELLING TO ME AND HAD NOT BEEN REFLECTED ON THE CARFAX YET THE DEALER KNEW. I ALSO PAID OVER $500 FOR A FUEL INJECTOR ISSUE THAT WAS CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRING. ON A LONG TRIP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTING FLASHING. I GOT IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP IMMEDIATELY.

HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM UNTIL HIGH BEAMS HAVE TO BE USE IN ORDER TO SEE. LOW BEAM APPEARS LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON OR MAYBE PARK LIGHTS. UNSAFE BECAUSE OTHER VEHICLES CAN'T SEE YOU WITH LOW BEAM ON AND YOU CAN'T SEE. DRIVER SEAT MOTOR WENT OUT MAKING IT COMPLICATED TO REACH THE EXCELERATOR AND BRAKE. ON THE LUMBAR PART WORKS.
