2010 Cadillac SRX electrical complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 69, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Every time it rains moisture get in the headlights and they go out until it drys
Front headlights are low beam and make it difficult to drive at night. You can only see a few feet in front of the car.
This vehicle is pretty good but what has frustrated me for a couple of years now is because my wife drives this vehicle and the ligths are almost non-existent the headlights are horrible for a while it appeared there was a lot of moisture and water in headlights and now we have to use brights in order to see anything. I was a price of 1600 for both lights to be fixed and I am a pastor and do not have that kind of money for lights. Please help me. I also within the last couple of years am now having issues in and out with radio and the screen not moving up or down at sporadic intervals. Sometimes it works and others it does not.
Water leaks into the headlights poor lighting . Almost have a accident
My car was going 70 on the interstate and the reduced engine power signal came on and my car jerked and started powering down. It was a throttle body issue. Now my cars electrical system won't work, and electronic stability control won't work because of small magnets that had poor design. My car windows don't open. The electrical system shuts of while the car is driving and I can't see my steering panel at all.
Since the sunroof drain tube dislodged causing water to leak inside causing an electrical short. The computer doesn't sense the driver door. You can drive with the door open and no ajar warning. The window doesn't go up or down. The radio and interior lights do not go off once you exit the vehicle. It shuts off automatically after 10mins as oppose to shut off when you open the driver door. There's a class action lawsuit regarding this problem
The headlights get moisture in them causing headlights to barely work. I can't see anything at night. It is so dangerous! California and florida have had successful lawsuits over the issue and cadillac's owners are getting reimbursed. Why can't we get reimbursed in minnesota?
My tail gate lift opens on it's own even when the switch inside the car in in the off position when the car is parked
Faulty headlamp that I keep having to replace something on it because it keeps going out and AC will not get cold on level 1,2, or 3. It's giving faulty codes.
The radio has power but no sound .th door ajar chimes dont work and turn singnals dont click this is a internment problem that could last up to a few days doesnt matter where im driven than every thing starts workin till the next time it happens
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.
Tailgate will not stay up. If it would have hit my wife, it would been a disaster. Fortunately, she got out of the way in time. The car was stationary when my wife tried to open the tailgate. Tailgate will not stay up.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 cadillac srx. The contact stated that the front passenger low beam headlights shorted more than twice. The bulb was replaced by the contact. During the third failure, the bulb failed to illuminate. The contact was uncertain as to what was causing the failure. The dealer (james hodge chevrolet of broken bow, 1207 s park dr, broken bow, ok 74728, (888) 592-3964) inspected the vehicle and provided testing to check for moisture within the headlamp assemblies, but was unable to determine a remedy to prevent the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 116,003.
I drove the vehicle, parked, and I noticed the engine fan didnt turn off in a reasonable amount of time after parked (over 2 hours). I drove to the dealer only for them to refuse to run a simple diagnostic. Was driving and vehicle being accelerating even after I completely removed me feet; I also looked down witnessed the pedal modulating itself in and out, shortly followed by an abrupt braking incident. I was just able to restart and pull over to emergency stop. I hadnt gotten far from the dealer, so after two hours of waiting for a tow truck, I attempted to drive the truck back to the dealer only to have the same violent braking but this time also followed by a sporadic loss of power steering. I was able to creep the vehicle back to the dealer and control any losses of control, it felt like the vehicle was having a seizure. Please investigate my stall, unintended braking, power steering loss, and fan (I imagine this could be a fire issue as well). Thank you
Purchased 2010 cadillac srx new in 2010. This car was in the dealership garage more times than I owned it in the first 6 month. At 19,200 miles, car would not start. Had it towed to dealer. No problem found. Recharged battery. This battery failed a total of 8 times, finally on oct. 25, 2010, battery was bad, according to dealer, and replaced. Unfortunately, the warranty had run out and I had to pay $249.66. Isn't it strange that the dealer didn't find a defective battery until the warranty ran out. 8 times this battery failed. 8 times I was stranded.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 cadillac srx. While driving various speeds at night, the headlights failed to operate correctly and the driver was unable to see the roadway. The contact stated that the low beam lights failed so the high beams had to be activated. While the vehicle was at the dealer for routine service, the sun roof was left open and the interior of the vehicle became wet. The vehicle was left at the dealer for three months with water inside the vehicle. The dealer finally replaced the carpet; however, since retrieving the vehicle from the dealer, it experienced electrical issues and the headlights failed to operate correctly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the headlight lenses were cleaned. The failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the issues. The failure mileage was unknown.
The rear power lift gate door on my 2010 cadillac srx (23,000 miles) recently started closing suddenly only seconds after opening. During the 2nd time this happened, I was struck on the back of the head and upper back. This is a very dangerous situation and could injure an adult, or worse - a child! Cadillac needs to fix this immediately. Please let me know what I should do. Thanks.
Front passenger headlight has moisture in headlight assembly. After reviewing several gm/cadillac websites it appears this is a known issue with srx owners and is only replaced under warranty. Light will short out over time and stop working according to other owner reports. Vehicle was recently purchased and current owner noticed the issue.
Headlight warning message that a headlight was out. Several new bulbs were tried but did not correct the problem. Also, water accumulation inside the headlight assembly. Suspect problem with false reading to message center. Research online indicates this safety problem is not an isolated issue for this vehicle. No attempt to remedy it by general motors. Dealer quoted extremely high prices for all associated parts to try to repair.
My dashboard went completely black and the gauge needles moved quickly back and forth. I was traveling on the highway at about 60 miles/hour. Dashboard was black for 30-60 seconds. Car continued to function.
Right passenger headlight keeps flooding with water, lights go out cant see while driving. Dealer wants $2,000.00 to replace. This happens very frequently. Water leaks on floor and on the electrical of passenger side from sunroof drain, I've been told the drain is too short and disconnects. These are defaults in the car, we should not have to keep paying to have fixed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 cadillac srx. The contact stated that water leaked into the vehicle from the moon roof. It was later discovered that the tubes/drain hose failed and caused an electrical short. In addition, the liftgate failed to function. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and independent mechanic for further inspection and diagnosis. The contact was not notified of the manufacturer's service campaign (14225) from january 4, 2015 regarding the sun roof drain hose leak. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was to check with the manufacturer to determine if they may be able to provide a solution. The failure mileage was not available.
Tonight sept. 25th, 2016 it happened again. My dashboard went completely black for a minute or two. The first time it happened was several months ago and I thought it was a temporary glitch. Both incidents occurred while driving home at night on the freeway doing 70-75 miles/hr. I'm not sure if the headlights went out as well because I'm too focused on remaining calm and keeping my eyes on the road preventing an accident from happening. The car was in motion on the freeway while this occurred. This first time it happened I was driving straight down the freeway. The second time it occurred I was exiting and taking a curve on the loop. I don't know what it'll take for a recall to happen but I hope it won't take a deadly crash to occur before they decide to have a recall for this issue. I've read on other sites this problem is a known fact with the company and yet no action has taken place to remedy this. Someone do something!
My car has push to start and the keys should detect and start your vehicle when you get in the car. The idol kept saying no remote detected . The only way to start the car was to put the keypad in the middle console. I took it to christians brothers automotive where the diagnostic said I needed to replace the keyless entry module. A week later while I was driving it , the idol on the screen said no remote detected and the car completely shut off while I'm in motion. The only way to start it again was to hold the keypad against the middle console.I took it back to christian brothers where they printed out the technical bulletin that deems this issue to be a known issue since 2010 and that I will have to take it to a cadillac dealership where I will have to pay again for a diagnostic and whatever issues they come up with. Ron carter cadillac doesn't have appointments available for six weeks and because this has not been made a recall, they will not warranty what they know is a known issue with the car. If I continue to pay to repair this module and it shuts off on me in the middle of traffic or at high speeds, I could be seriously injured or killed. I don't understand the purpose of providing a technical bulletin that you don't intend to make a recall when you know it's an issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 cadillac srx. The contact stated that the driver side low beam headlight failed to illuminate. The dealer diagnosed that there was water intrusion and that the light fixture needed to be replaced. The dealer did not specify if a seal fractured or if there was a remedy for the short circuit electrical failure other than replacing the low beam head lamp assembly. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and indicated that there was no manufacturer recall to cover the repair. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
Headlamp condensation causing lamp to go out sometimes will come back on. Should not be happening. Never had another vehicle have this issue. Should be a recall to fix this expensive condensation and lamp. Police enjoy stopping vehicles with no light! This has beenoccuring over last 6 months more off than on. Rain really makes worse. Condensation never completely goes away and inside indicstor light stayson all the time 24/7. #2 another issue is sun roof will not shut. Window will close but cover stops half way and will not advance any further. Had taken to baker cadillac in charleston, sc for service march 1 2016. Worked on it for 2 days and told not fixable. Why is it not fixable? Recalls should be issued on these problems srx owners are having on these luxaury vehicles.
My power hatch back opens on its own all the time.
After a rain storm, my headlights condensed up, then the right lamp went out, after replacing the hei lamp, the left lamp went out. These lamps are vary costly, plus the labor, because gm has a poor seal around the headlamp. The vehicle was parked at the time of the rain.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 cadillac srx. While driving 55 MPH, the vehicle vibrated severely and jerked before suddenly accelerating independently. The contact mentioned that the brakes did not respond when the brake pedal was depressed and the hand brake failed to operate when engaged. In addition, the instrument panel warning lights flickered. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
