2015 Cadillac SRX Complaints

The trunk which operates by key fob only is no longer remaining open as it should. Instead the trunk will immediately upon opening begin to lower as very quickly. Once the automatic lowering hits the half way point, it will quickly close shut. This a liftgate issue/failure that has great potential to cause extreme harm to someone placing or retrieving items from the trunk; harm that has the potential to be fatal. This is the 2nd major safety issue that I've reported to GM (Cadillac) and no accountability has been taken. I've been told that they are aware of this issue (and the other) as they have been reported by other owners; however, they will love to offer money off if I purchased a new vehicle with them. This is absurd.

My headlights have deteriorated to the point that the vehicle can’t be driven at night. GM/Cadillac acknowledged this as a problem with this particular model. I sent an email to the Cadillac CEO, Rory Harvey. I received a call from an executive assistant stating that this issue was addressed prior to my report. I stated I could not use the vehicle at night due to safety issues. Her response was to offer me a discount on a new purchase. My vehicle now has a significant safety issue. The Cadillac dealer quoted my a price of $2,600 to replace the headlights.

The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated that the headlights were dull. The contact cleaned the lens, but there was no improvement, and the driver was unable to see the roadway properly while driving at night. The contact had to drive with the high beams activated. Additionally, the information center was frozen. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the bulbs. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the headlight assembly needed to be replaced. The contact called the local dealer, who informed the contact that the reflector material had burned off. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Nothing has happened yet, however, we just bought this vehicle and the Stabilitrack light came on 2 days after we bought it. We took it to a mechanic and it coded C056D, brake module hardware fault. He said that "the Cadillac must go to the dealership, 2010-2016 SRX's have brake control module problems and they don't make the module anymore so it has to be removed and sent off for rebuild then programmed to the car." How in the world can Cadillac have a known problem, and quit making the part that fixes it? If you get on Cadillac forums, it is all they talk about on these models. Cadillac should be held responsible for fixing this problem for thousands of Cadillac owners so that we can drive with no braking problems!! We just got a bid from our closest Cadillac dealership and the cost to rebuild the part is $2000, labor $1000 and we would be without a car for 2 weeks!!!

problems with low beam headlights, which often resulted in dimness, fogging, or premature burnout due to faulty weather seals that allowed moisture into the headlight housings I’ve owned more than 5 cadillac srx different models from 2010-2016 and they all have this problem. I can’t see anything after changing the headlights low beam bulbs and the dealer told me to change the headlights assembly and it’s pretty pricey It’s an safety issue because I can’t see the roadway and I can’t turn my high beams on all the time due to will affect other drivers on the opposite side of road.
