(1) rear hatch cannot be opened manually, sensor shorted out due to design flaw allowing water to come in contact with sensor. This is a safety issue in the event of a fire.no way to exit the vehicle from the rear. No safety release. (2) headlights poor design , condensation behind front headlights making it impossible to see at night. (3) sunroof drain line too short, design issue. Water collects from roof drain and leaks into passenger floor. When this line becomes dislodged. Drain line is about 2 inches too short. Cadillac knows about the problem but will do nothing to fix it. Again another $1000.00. The front dash dash needs to be removed to fix this. Cadillac is aware of all these issues and refuses to make corrections, these are all common problems not just my vehicle but every other srx from 2010 to 2015. I've been to the dealer on numerous occasion and all I've gotten was it will cost x amount of dollars to fix it. They recently sent out a repair form for the headlight issue , but require you to pay up front and hopefully you'll get your money reimbursed after filling out multiple forms.

The sun roof drain tubes came away from the firewall on all 4 sides. Water leaked all over the gas pedal and the break. I have slid off the street trying to break causing damage to a yard. The electrical on the radio system and lights short out because of water getting into the dash. The back hatch has water leaking directly into the circuit board that controls it and not will not allow the hatch to open.

Also, the hood release mechanism in passenger compartment broke, making release of hood very difficult. Dangerous in case of emergency requiring access to engine compartment.

All of a sudden I've been experiencing numerous things going wrong. First I started smelling this strange awful odor, not knowing that its some type of water leak soaking my carpet on the passenger side, underneath the mat. I had my car detailed on numerous occasion before noticing this water puddles on thursday morning. On top that, I get off work on friday afternoon all I see is water pouring from the roof right in front of the visor on the passenger side onto my seat. I'm beyond frustrated...I called the dealership to see if there were any recalls,and of course, it isn't for my car. I don't really know what to do at this point. I scheduled an appointment with the dealership to get an oil change and to look into the problem on this wednesday. I must go back to when I first encountered the smell. I called the dealership to see if they could locate the smell and they told me in fact at my last oil change it could cost me thousands of dollars. I felt betrayed, after being overwhelmed with this issue after just paying $2,200 for the timing change. This vehicle is not that old and I am still paying for a vehicle that's thanks in advance [xxx] ps.stationary and in motion...
