2013 Cadillac SRX Electrical System Problems

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact notified the dealer where the vehicle was purchased; however, the dealer denied responsibility. A mobile mechanic was contacted and stopped by the residence and diagnosed the vehicle. However, no cause for the failure was found. Several mobile mechanics stopped by the residence and diagnosed the vehicle with an electrical system failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the mobile mechanic discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was purchased from a private dealer's sale. At the time of the purchase, the vehicle mileage was 64,729, it was discovered that the mileage was 175,000. The contact parked the vehicle, and the vehicle was no longer driven. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BETWEEN 45 AND 50 MPG THE ENTIRE CAR SHUTS DOWN AHD THE CUE DISINGAUGES WITH OUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE NO CONTROL TO STEER OR BRAKE. AFTER SHUT DOMW I HAVE NO READING ON THE CUE. THE SCREEB=N IS BLANK AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART.

Cue screen has spider webbed and not able to use hands free or ac ( only fan moter comes on but to turn on ac it's on the screen.

VEHICLE FIRE & MOLD. My 2013 Cadillac SRX had water leaking in/draining incorrectly from the sunroof, which in return pooled water in the front and rear of my vehicle. This water caused my trunk to COMPLETELY stop operating (water pooled at trunk latch/rusted), as well as water to saturate the electrical components near the front of my car and a FIRE TO ITNITE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE! Fire truck responded, pooled water found, mold also found because of previously unknown pooled water, and insurance totaled vehicle. SO SCARY! SO DISAPOINTED! THIS LEAKING WATER ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON MANY FORUMS FOR THE SAME CADILLAC MAKE AND MODEL AND IT THREATENED MY LIFE. The sun roof draining tubes MUST BE RECALLED. I’m now out of a vehicle because of it and just grateful I was able to exit my vehicle as it filled with smoke.

Low beam headlight are so dim, that it creates a safety hazard driving at night. The reflector material on the inside of the light bulb housing assembly has deteriorated to the point that the light bulbs light cannot project out the front of the light assembly. This makes driving at night very dangerous. We have not experienced an incident or accident concerning this problem, but I will not have anyone in my family drive this vehicle at night. This is a safety hazard that GM is not addressing.

The contact owns a 2013 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated that there were web-like cracks that had developed inside the infotainment screen, causing difficulty in accessing various electrical functions needed to safely operate the vehicle. Due to the failure, the A/C unit, defroster, backup camera, and other functions were inaccessible on the screen. The contact stated that the repair was initially serviced under warranty; however, the failure returned, and the vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. The contact was recently provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but the contact was provided the same information as the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

airbags light turned on, my seatbelts just stopped working and are tight, my radio screen just went blank. I can’t drive the vehicle because of no proper working seatbelts. If i was to wreck there is nothing to prevent me the driving or my front passenger from being ejected. Ive taken my vehicle to my dealership that confirmed the airbag sensor says they have been suddenly deployed the dealer also confirmed my vehicle has never been in a accident and ive only had the vehicle since april 19 2021 the problems occured July 5 2021 and they advised me they have heard of airbags popping out of nowhere. It has not been inspected by police or the manufacturer. The seatbelts locked the radio went blank then my airbag light appeared suddenly. I Asked the dealership im financing the vehicle from if they could provide me a safe vehicle until they resolve they issue because i do have toddlers and i was told no it wasnt a option i also asked if they could just exchange the vehicle for another around the same value and was also told no. I was most concerned that they allowed me to drive the vehicle off the lot after explaining to me the dangers that could occur while im on the road.

AFTER SEARCHING AND CALLING AROUND I AM HEARING THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE 2013 SRX HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES. THIS MORNING UPON CRANKING THE CAR AND DRIVING TO WORK I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT NONE OF MY INSTRUMENTS WERE RESPONDING. NO SPEED, NO GAS GAUGE, NOTHING. THE TWO SHOPS THAT I CALLED SAID THAT THEY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE CADILLAC SRX INSTRUMENT PANEL AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER GM PRODUCTS FROM THAT SAME YEAR. *TR

MY CADILLAC QUE SYSTEM ONLY RESPONDS TO TOUCH WHEN IT WANTS TO. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THE QUE SCREEN/SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF $1500. I CANNOT TURN MY A/C OFF OR USE NAVIGATION PLUS ANY FEATURE ON THE HOME SCREEN. VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMEN PROBLEM. RECALL TIME!!!💩

TOUCH SCREEN BECAME INOPERABLE; FIRST THE FAN STARTED NOT WORKING TO DEFROST THE WINDOW INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THE CHOICE OF VENTING STOPPED WORKING, THEN THE RADIO. REPAIR: DEALERSHIP REPLACED TOUCH SCREEN (F-CONTROL) COSTING US $1507.72. ...SUBMITTED AS I SEE YOU ARE REVIEWING SAME ISSUE IN TESLAS. *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NEEDING REPLACEMENT AS THEY WERE TOO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST IT SO THEY SENT OUT LETTERS TO GET REPLACED AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE. THE LIGHTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND DUE TO COVID IT COMPLICATED THINGS EVEN MORE. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS FINALLY CAME IN CADILLAC WILL NOT REIMBURSE. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE CUE. IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND CADILLAC WILL NOT RECALL IT

THE CADILLAC CUE SYSTEM BECOMES NON RESPONSIVE WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONTROL MOST THINGS WHICH ARE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED FROM THAT SYSTEM WHICH IS THE RADIO, AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, AND OTHER SYSTEMS. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN MOTION TO USE THIS SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM DEVELOPED SMALL CRACKS ALL OVER WHICH START FROM THE CORNERS AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX THEM.

THE TOUCH SCREEN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE AC/HEAT/DEFROST ETC. I'VE TRIED DOING THE FACTORY RESET AND THAT DOES NOT FIX THE RADIO PROBLEM EITHER. *TR

HEADLIGHTS EXTREMELY DIM CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT

TOUCH SCREEN(CUE) STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I CANNOT CHANGE HEATING AND COOLING LISTEN TO RADIO OR ANY OF THE OTHER FUNCTIONS THAT THE TOUCHSCREEN OFFERS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL CONCERNING THE CUE BEING DEFECTIVE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED WHICH I WILL PUT PUT MY NAME ON. MY DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO DO ANYTHING ALL THEY SAID WAS "IT'S NOT WORKING AND YOU NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP THAT HANDLES CADILLACS." I HAVE READ THE COST CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 1200 TO 1500 DOLLARS TO FIX AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING!

I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF A PUBLIC GYM AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00AM, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH, 2018. I STARTED MY CAR AND TURNED ON MY SEAT WARMER AS I WAS LEAVING THE GYM. WITHIN 30-45 SECONDS, I FELT A HOT SPOT BURNING MY LOWER BACK AREA. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE SEAT WARMER, AND I STARTED TO SMELL BURNT RUBBER. THE BURNED AREA OF ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME WAS BURNED INTO THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS CAUSED TWO CIGARETTE SIZED HOLES TO BURN INTO MY JACKET THAT I WAS WEARING AS WELL. CADILLAC WAS CONTACTED (CASE #[XXX]) AND THEY WERE NOT FORTHCOMING IN INFORMING ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT IF I HAD NOT BEEN THERE TO TURN OFF THE SEAT WARMER. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE OTHER CADILLAC SRX 2013 OWNERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

THE CUE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. LOOKING AT BLOGS IT SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING ISSUE THAT CADILLAC NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE BACKUP CAMERA AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CADILLAC OF KNOXVILLE, 10005 PARKSIDE DR, KNOXVILLE, TN) AND THE QUE PANEL WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AT ALL TIMES MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM AND WHEN I FIRST START MY VEHICLE MY HEADLIGHTS STROBE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AS WELL AS CADILLAC AND BOTH TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE FIXED AS A RECALL/SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN OPERATING MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT I MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS, IT'S AS IF MY LOW BEAMS AREN'T ON AT ALL. MY PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 80,000 AND NOW AT 91,000 MY HEADLIGHTS ARE USELESS.

THE CUE SYSTEM STOPED WORKING WITH THE TOUGH SCREEN AND ITS NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO SET UP HANDS FREE DRIVING.
