1 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2019

Im thinking of reaching out to an attorney before someone is killed in this car or by this car. Purchased new 2012 Srx. Has 49,000 miles. Sunroof broke 2 different time $3500. Liftgate/sunroof wouldn't open $3500. My husband researched to find this model has faulty drain hose in sunroof causing water to leak into vehicle resulting in erosion in the electrical module causing short out yet Cadillac, or gm will admit. Numerous complaints online. Google 2012 Cadillac Srx it's disheartening knowing the price you paid to get screwed! what next? I haven't been able to see at night lights on dim may as well be off! numerous times almost wrecked trying to see. Purchased extended warranty. Called johnson motor CO 12/26/19, couldn't get me in until 1/6/20. Dropped car off 8am Monday service tech agreed there was moisture and fading of my lights this is a major problem with this make but most likely I will be responsible. Stated fla and cal were the only states a lawsuit was settled. How can gm/Cadillac settle in 2 states and not everyone who owns these defective vehicles with the same issues? remember mon morning dropped my car off I receive a call 930 stating bad news we don't cover this and your extended warranty ran out at midnight last night(Sunday) you can call Cadillac and complain most likely they wont take responsibility. Are you kidding me right now? tried to get my car in week and half prior and this is faulty designs that has to do with gm/cad not anything I've done or caused from age. You pushed me out 2 weeks for service. I reached out to numerous individuals trying to fight this expensive issue only to be told over and over "im sorry I understand" not to mention they kept my car for a week, did nothing to it, would not put me in a loaner car. What kind of customr service is this? I will never buy another Cadillac! I hope this helps someone not to waste their $$$$$$.

2 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2019

Biggest problem with this vehicle is the headlights in the dim setting. It is almost impossible to see the road in this mode. Have changed to bulbs to the most expensive I can get with no better results. I have read many forums with the same complaint how does this go on without getting recalled, huge safety issue. The issue with stability track is has to be set every few months.

3 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2018

Toe link torqued incorrectly suspension in rear is affected.

4 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 05/04/2018

Lower front drivers ball joint failed. Causing serious accident at highway speed.

5 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 11/03/2017

He passenger side headlight quit working on my 2010 Srx last week. There's a lot of condensation in the headlight assembly. The service manager at the local Cadillac dealer told me the headlight assembly must have been bumped and the seal compromised. The cost to fix it is $1,250 plus 2 hours labor and tax. The car is within the time warranty but outside the mileage warranty. He was very clear that gm would not help me with this problem. I guess gm trains their dealers to blame all products that prove defective after the warranty expires on their customers. This is my third Cadillac and I've had more problems with this car than the other two combined.

6 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2017

The lift gate fell down on me while getting packages out of the rear in my driveway. It was terrifying! once again, the lift gate fell down on my daughter a few weeks later at cvs parking lot, traumatizing her! she had her baby. I reported to tonia general motors product assistance claims; concentrix on behalf of general motors phone: 866-446-6963 x 5921511; they investigated, and "determined no warranty defect". How many sacrificial lambs before a recall? it is a manufacturer defect - water drains into 2 compartments from sunroof into draining compartments in the rear of car at lift gate, trapping moisture which burns out and corrodes lift gate and bluetooth modules. My sunroof still works, but not the lift gate of bluetooth. Nothing in maintenance manual other than in "features" to clean sunroof. Or it may not work. Nothing for maintenance of bluetooth problems or lift gate safety issues!.
