2010 Cadillac SRX: multiple warning lights

Filed Mar 7, 2024 · Electrical, Lights · NJ

The first things to go were the headlights, rearview camera & the seatbelt wouldn't fully retract. Then ALL the dash warning lights flashed like a Christmas tree; the radio, heat & AC settings changed on their own; & the navigation screen scrambled into pixels like a crashed computer screen! These issues went on sporadically for months. I was convinced the vehicle was possessed. It seemed things would act up when it rained, was damp or humid. After spending thousands, things got worse. My windows, sun roof & hatchback opened on their own & wouldn't close. I'd have to pull over, turn off the engine, wait a while & restart it like a reset, which was rarely successful the first time. I haven't opened my sunroof in over a year. I mentioned all of the above to the dealership mechanics during regular maintenance & repairs but they could never find the source of the problem, did what they could & said this model was notorious for having electrical issues. Then for weeks, I'd find my hatchback open every morning. I'd close it. Minutes later, it would open again & again & again. I stood there in disbelief. This became a neighborhood joke & was happening even more than I realized because my neighbors had been closing it whenever they saw it open. They thought the vehicle was possessed, as well. After the hatchback, they replaced the module. Shortly after that, I found a puddle on the driver's side floor. I didn't notice it right away because of the winter weather. I removed the floor mats to clean them & saw the puddle. Whatever they did must have rerouted the water & while sitting in the vehicle during a storm, I found one, which I filmed. The warning lights started again, but I don't want to spend thousands more on this vehicle. According to Carvana, it's only worth ~$2000. I've read that the sunroof leak is prevalent in the 2010 SRX & other models. Is there anything you can do?

The headlights to my cadillac srx 2010 quick working at 79,200 miles safely. The dims have always been less bright than other vehicles when first purchased however I understand this is a common concern. The dims however got worse just a few days ago. So much so that I was not sure that the lights were even on while driving from the city to the country where no additional light is available to supplement the headlights. All lights still work however the dims are beyond dangerous. I was getting flashed by other drivers on the road to turn the lights on while the dims were still on and flashed when I had to drive with my bright lights on for adequate driving lights. I had to drive over the weekend in foggy conditions which were even more dangerous hoping that I would not be killed by oncoming traffic. I have taken a picture of the highway while driving with my dims on which I have attached to this file. As you can see, there is no light to be had and the only way to see a bit more in front of you is to turn the speedometer lights all the way down. I can't imagine what it is going to be like to drive in blizzard like conditions this winter with these headlights. Cadillac needs to be forced to recall these headlights! Based on my research of these lights, this is a massive issue. The only reason way the recall hasn't been forced is because it always happens outside of the extended warranty where you have to pay to get diagnostics done on it. Conveniently for cadillac, they just make it past that mark by 4,000-7,000 miles. This is not right.

While driving in the rain all lights went out and then came back on after about 15 seconds.

Driving in a heavy rainstorm, increased velocity of wipers to high. They froze & all warning lights on the dash board lit-up indicating numerous problems such as ABS, traction control, etc. Extremely dangerous driving on a three lane road at dusk with non wipers/visibility.
