2015 Cadillac SRX

My headlights have deteriorated to the point that the vehicle can’t be driven at night. GM/Cadillac acknowledged this as a problem with this particular model. I sent an email to the Cadillac CEO, Rory Harvey. I received a call from an executive assistant stating that this issue was addressed prior to my report. I stated I could not use the vehicle at night due to safety issues. Her response was to offer me a discount on a new purchase. My vehicle now has a significant safety issue. The Cadillac dealer quoted my a price of $2,600 to replace the headlights.

Nothing has happened yet, however, we just bought this vehicle and the Stabilitrack light came on 2 days after we bought it. We took it to a mechanic and it coded C056D, brake module hardware fault. He said that "the Cadillac must go to the dealership, 2010-2016 SRX's have brake control module problems and they don't make the module anymore so it has to be removed and sent off for rebuild then programmed to the car." How in the world can Cadillac have a known problem, and quit making the part that fixes it? If you get on Cadillac forums, it is all they talk about on these models. Cadillac should be held responsible for fixing this problem for thousands of Cadillac owners so that we can drive with no braking problems!! We just got a bid from our closest Cadillac dealership and the cost to rebuild the part is $2000, labor $1000 and we would be without a car for 2 weeks!!!

problems with low beam headlights, which often resulted in dimness, fogging, or premature burnout due to faulty weather seals that allowed moisture into the headlight housings I’ve owned more than 5 cadillac srx different models from 2010-2016 and they all have this problem. I can’t see anything after changing the headlights low beam bulbs and the dealer told me to change the headlights assembly and it’s pretty pricey It’s an safety issue because I can’t see the roadway and I can’t turn my high beams on all the time due to will affect other drivers on the opposite side of road.

The CUE touchscreen display has cracked for the second time in seven years without any physical impact. This appears to be a widespread defect in Cadillac SRX models. The screen becomes unresponsive and is a major distraction while driving, impacting safety, navigation, climate control, and backup camera visibility. Cadillac previously replaced it under warranty, but it has failed again. GM has not issued a recall despite hundreds of similar reports.”

2015 Cadillac SRX with 87,397 has a failed Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) or ABS module. It can be made available for inspection upon request. Alexander Cadillac of Oxnard refuses to repair it stating a replacement part is no longer available (it can be repaired by a specialty repair company). They cite liability by using after market or repaired parts. Without a functioning EBCM - ABS,power steering and traction control do not work which puts me and others at risk. Worse, the failed EBCM is now causing the car to go into "limp mode", which cuts power to the engine and prevent acceleration. When making a turn onto a street, it suddenly went into limp mode and I was almost hit by an approaching semi-truck. The problem was identified by Alexander of Oxnard service center - but they refuse to make any effort to remedy the problem. There are multiple blogs on the internet citing similar systemic issues with the EBCM that is no longer manufactured but can be repaired by a specialty shop. Lights on the dash first started to appear in September 2024. Lights include ABS, Brake and traction control / stability light. New lights started to appear in June 2025 including Check Engine, headlamp and auto-parking symbols. Alexander Cadillac of Oxnard cites that the EBCM is drawing too much current and causing issues to other systems on the car - a cascading effect. I am very afraid to drive the car and fear that it will lose power when needed, stall or the brakes will lock up.

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.

2015 Cadillac SRX is unsafe to drive while using its low beams after dark, and after having its High and Low Beam bulbs replaced. I purchased this car used in March 2024 for my wife. She only occasionally drives but never at night. In April I drove it when nearly dark and thought the low beams were very dim. I called the dealer and asked about getting warranty coverage and was told it had too many miles. I drove it again late September. It was dark and the low beams barely lit the road in front of me. I could hardly see going around curves, and it would have been too late to avoid a deer stepping in front of me. That night I realized It was absolutely too unsafe to drive my wife’s Cadillac after dark. I researched changing the bulbs and decided suing a body shop would be the best call. I also decided to use Sylvania SilverStar Ultra - High Performance Halogen Headlight High Beam, and Low Beam replacement bulbs. The body shop replaced all my bulbs in December. Feeling all was well, we drove my wife’s car out for an early New Year’s dinner. On the drive back the lighting was slightly improved, but still unsafe to drive after dark. Is correcting this issue something Cadillac should l pay for under the 2019 law suit settlement?

Vehicle lurches from 0-20mph since purchase of vehicle from Greenbelt Caddillac. Vehicle only serviced there until no longer in business. Shifter linkage cable issue assumed. Parking brake disengages prior to switch depress. In automatic mode, when switched to manual, shifter does not highlight that it is engaged in shifter box. Dashboard shows change in transmission function. Camshaft Position Sensor Bank 1 code returned around 100-120k+ miles after 2 flat tires and suspension serviced by Caliber Collision. OnStar taking control of vehicle suspected of causing timing belt to skip timing supported by Chevrolet Ourisman of Bowie. Paid $800-1000 to Ourisman for service and diagnostic. Ourisman suggested engine needed to be opened to fully inspect or replaced for $6-8000. A piece of the sensor was claimed to have broken off and fallen into lower engine manifold. Vehicle would rev when stopped and putter to halt. Vehicle would start and stick in second gear up to 40mph until stopping and refusing to start. Engine replacement evaluation reconfirmed by Foreign Auto Parts of Annapolis, MD after explanation. Chevrolet of Silver Spring attempted to buy car for $100 after suspect inspection. Declined. 3 new sensors were changed manually though did not turn off the check engine light, still returning bank 1 camshaft sensor. Eventually vehicle towed to MZ Auto Repair 9500 Allentown Rd, Fort Washington. Engine swapped, battery changed and check engine light cleared. Vehicle ran for 2000-3000 miles until check engine light returned with same code Bank 1 Camshaft Position Sensor. Vehicle presumed tampered with during lifetime of use however original lurch during engagement of powertrain implicates feigned manufacturer defect or original Cadillac of Greenbelt.

GM Class Action says Cadillac SRX Headlight failure merits recall. No recall ever received. A lack of adequate illumination. GM, Mastria GMC Cadillac Inc. and 3rd party failed to disclose the defect. Leaving me the owner to pay for the entire cost for replacement headlights.

HEADLIGHTS!!! The headlights are so dim that other drivers flash me, honk at me or yell at me to turn my lights on when driving at night. When driving at night It is the same as driving without my headlights on. I have to use the high beams to drive at night. I changed the fuses, changed 1 of the bulbs and still no difference. The whole headlight housing needs to be changed. Here is a link to a gentleman who did the work to find out why Cadillac SRX's seem to be having this issue: [XXX] . Please, we need a recall to fix the headlights. This is a safety issue for me driving at night as well as anyone else on the road who can't see me.
