This vehicle has had an intermittent (for a few years) issue with all of the warning lights (ABS,Stabilitrak,Parking Brake,Steering) coming on when starting. If you tried to drive it, you would have no power steering causing the vehicle difficult to handle. This would not happen every time it was started. We took the car to the local Cadillac dealership and were told nothing was wrong and it was just the system going through the electronic check system and to just not put it in gear until after the lights cleared. That actually did work sometimes. Recently, it came off and would never go off. We took it to a shop that does other work on other vehicles for me. He found that the Electronic Brake Control Module was bad. He tried to source a replacement one but found that it was discontinued with no alternate part. He did find a used one which we are waiting on to be delivered and then installed. My first concern is that if this happened when my wife was driving she could lose control of the vehicle causing an accident. My second concern is how can GM discontinue a known problem (I found multiple forums discussing this issue) part with no replacement. The vehicle is 10 years old with only 75K miles. I have read this has been an issue for quite a few years.

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?

2011Cadillac SRX owner. Car has know water issue that collected inside car at the time of rain ruining the tailgate module. Since that time I have had all of the warning lights as indicated in the recall of August 2021. Stabilitrak Service, Slippery Roads, Shut off engine now etc. I have been waiting for the recall part to be produced since August and have been without a vehicle. I contacted Arrowhead Cadillac a few weeks ago and learned part not in production. It is going on 60 days of me having a vehicle that I can not sell or trade or use. I contacted the main Cadillac customer service and was informed that I could rent a car on my own and submit request for payment months from now- or I could take the car in to have the "bolt tightened" (recall bolt that I have symptoms listed in recall to not drive) . I informed that both of these solutions are a no go for me- especially the one suggesting I have the bolt tightened- at the risk of me and my family's lives. The CSR recommended that I have the SRX towed to local dealership. I said I would and it can sit there- not having it towed back and forth. I contacted the Arrowhead dealership in Arizona and agreed to have the car towed for evaluation, and would be stored at the location. With no time frame of when I will have a working vehicle. I later decided to look at cars on the lot since I was planning on purchasing a car next year. I contacted Arrowhead sales and explained- they said would consider giving me a trade in of $ 3-4,000 and no vehicle deal although. The car can be should at $8,000 and from the law that I can determine if the dealership is unable to provide a repair in a timely manner that they would need to provide replacement at full value. I am a person that owns a car that is inoperable in a timely manner. I feel that Cadillac suggesting I have the Bad part tightened- and then not compensating me for the re cost or cost of the vehicle is a complaint worth reporting.

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.
