2015 Cadillac SRX problems and owner complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, 8/6/15, MY 2 WEEK OLD 2015 CADILLAC SRX (650 MILEAGE) SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CONTINUED TO DO SO WHILE I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKES, REPEATEDLY. MY WIFE AND I COULD SMELL THE BRAKE PADS AS IF THEY WERE "BURNING" FROM THE PRESSURE I APPLIED BUT THE SRX WOULD NOT STOP. WHENEVER I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. I PULLED OVER INTO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. WE WERE TRAUMATIZED AS OUR GRANDCHILD WAS IN THE VEHICLE . THE SRX HAS BEEN …

ON INCLINED OR HILLY TERRAIN THE CAR ROLLS BACK EVEN IF IN DRIVE. AFTER A COMPLETE STOP DUE TO TRAFFIC OR STOP SIGN OR SIGNALS, WHEN FOOT IS TAKEN OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR BEGINS TO BE ROLLBACK INSTANTLY. SUCH SUDDEN SHIFT OF GEAR IS SCARY. REMINDS YOU OF ALL THE ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY AUTOMATIC SHIFT OF GEAR. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NEVER HAD EXPERIENCED SUCH ROLL BACK IN THE GM CARS WE PREVIOUSLY OWNED. AND THEY WERE LESS EXPENSIVE CARS. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN NOVI MICHGAN AND WAS TAKEN TO VIRGINIA. IT WAS DRIVEN AROUND WASHINGTON DC…

AT 32,650 MILES, WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH THE HEADLIGHTS AND HONK THE HORN FOUR TIMES IN SUCCESSION, THEN IT WOULD STOP.

WHEN ACCELERATING, CAR LUNGES FORWARD AND KICKS BACK WHEN TRANSMISSION IS CHANGING GEARS AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEED. CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DEALER (VERA CADILLAC IN PEMBROKE PINES) NUMEROUS TIMES BUT DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A NORMAL CONDITION.

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LIGHTS BEING TOO DIM EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I CAN HARDLY SEE AT NIGHT, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

I HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS NUMEROUS TIMES. IT ALSO MAKES THIS WEIRD NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER A FEW HOURS BUT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BE…

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY GM AND THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE REPAIRS. MANY FORUMS DISCUSS THIS SINCE IT INVOLVES THE CADILLAC SRX FROM 2011-2015. ALL THEY GO IS REPLACE THE WEATHER STRIPPING AROUND THE LIGHT BUT THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE. MY WIFE AND I ARE PRETTY MUCH CONFINED TO DAYTIME DRIVING BECAUSE THE LOW BEAMS ARE SO USELESS AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN THAT YOU REALLY WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH CANDLES. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE FOR AN EMERGENCY LAST NIGHT AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT…

I have been having issues with my vehicle stalling and trembling. The Stabilitrak message, check engine light, and service traction control message has turned on a couple times when starting the car. On Aug 9th, I received a letter in the mail stating that my car has a safety recall. The same day I called the Cadillac dealership where I bought the car and scheduled an appt to check these issues and advised about the recall letter I received. The dealership scheduled an appt on Aug 31st. On the 31st, I dropped the car off and left it there for t…
