2011 CADILLAC SRX Unknown Or Other Problems

The sunroof drain tubes become plugged and if you can actually find someone to fix the error, its horribly expensive. Water enters the vehicle, causing mold on the back seat floors. This issue has also shorted out my trunk release consistent with other individuals reports and when manually released, via the inside hidden panel, it sparks, which is dangerous and shouldnt happen. After a heavy rain, entering the vehicle sounds like a waterfall all around you from inside. I have to constantly keep moisture absorbers inside of my vehicle in a futile attempt to solve the issue.

Onstar(R) vcim draining my battery, it’s not my battery or alternator and already replaced connections too. I have a recall sample that was sent out 04/15/2013 Bulletin no 11-08-44-003A

Squeaking noises in the front end sounds like rubbing also when you were at a stop and you turn the wheel from left to right sounds like a rubbing noise just purchased vehicle at the end of summer used started during the winter

I'm stationed in Stuttgart, Germany. I received a recall notice in August 2021 and again in November 2021 and reached out to Cadillac to find out how to resolve this issue. I was told that someone from Cadillac would contact me. I received another notice November 2022 due to the recall not being resolved. I'm not getting a response from Cadillac. How do I resolve this issue being stationed overseas? I'm not scheduled to return until February 2025 and the Government will not ship a vehicle if there are any RECALL notices on the vehicle. The GM safety recall is N212340980. Requesting assistance in resolving this RECALL notice. Thank you.

This information is addition to the accident, that I reported few days ago. NHTSA tracking number 11458264. I was involved in car accident on highway I90. My car drove in to concreate barrier and was struck from back by another car. Air bag in my car did not deploy. My head hit steering wheel. I have broken nose. I will need surgery.

When it rains my trunk fill with water where my spare tire is without any windows or sun roof being open .

It’s doing everything they said it would when I need to stop driving it due to recall

This Vehicle has a design flaw with sunroof which leaks water into the car from floor board passenger side. Sunroof Drain lines undersized even for a standard sized sunroof. As of result of this, the drain lines, at best are barely adequate for light rain and intense rain cloggs and rain enters the car. I have taken to dealer twice paid $651.00 repair and not fixed. Dealer should have correct information to repair the drain issue. Cadillac of Novi, Service Manager will not return phone calls. Very Poor service for a Luxury product.

MY DRAINS FOR MY SUN ROOF ARE NOT WORKING, WATER ALL ON PASSENGER FLOOR, MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS SOME YEARS AGO AND WAS WONDERING IF THE RECALL WAS STILL ACTIVE

THE TRUNK OF MY CAR IS NOT ACCESSIBLE. ONE DAY THE KEY FOB STOPPED WORKING. THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR GIVES NO ACCESS AS WELL. I'VE HEARD THERE WAS ONCE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT IT HAS EXPIRED. I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY SPARE TIRE!! HOW CAN A RECALL EXPIRE!

I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CADILLAC ABOUT MY HEADLIGHTS HAVING CONDENSATION WHICH LEADS TO THEM INTERMITTENTLY TURNING OFF. IT'S ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT IN WA STATE AND IT'S DANGEROUS. ON 2/28/20, CADILLAC SENT ME A LETTER ACKNOWLEDGING THAT'S THE 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, AND 2015 SRX MAY EXPERIENCE ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE IN THEIR HEADLAMPS CAPSULE AND CAUSE HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS TO BECOME DIMMER OVER TIME. THEY STATE IN THE LETTER THAT THEY WILL ONLY REIMBURSE UP TO $1,600 FOR THE REPAIR. THE REPAIR IS $2,600. THEN THEY SAID THE CLAIM FORM HAS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MAY 28, 2020. NONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY ARE ON BACK ORDERS. THEY TOLD ME THEY MAY NOT GET THE HEADLIGHTS BY THAT TIME. IN OTHER STATES LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED WHERE CADILLAC DID NOT WIN. IN THOSE LAWSUITS IT WAS NOTED THAT CADILLAC WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND IGNORED IT. I'M ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE ORDER CADILLAC TO ISSUE A RECALL. IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN.

THERE IS WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR OF MY 2011 CADILLAC SRX LUXURY EDITION AND ITS FROM THE SUNROOF. THE WATER GOT INTO MY ELECTRICAL AND NOW MY TRUNK WON'T OPEN AND THE FLOORS WON'T DRY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

LEFT GATE WILL OPEN FROM ANY TKE KEY OT INSIDE OR THE LATCH WITH TOUCH

MY SERVICE AIR BAG AND MOISTURE IN MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT THE ASSEMBLY IS OUT DUE TO THE MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. CAUSING ME NOT ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT THE COST IS $1600+ TAX. WHO HAS THAT TYPE OF MONEY LIKE THAT. CADILLAC NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THAT AND THE SEAT BELT.

MY SUNROOF HAS HAD LEAKY DRAINS ON BOTH SIDES AND CAUSED OVER $3,000 IN REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THE 2012 WAS RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2011. IT STOPPED MY CAR FROM DRIVING APPROPRIATELY, THE TRUNK WOULD NO LONGER OPEN, AND THE CAR ALARM TO ALERT FOR ROBBERY OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE MY PUMPS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE COMPUTER / ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS REPAIR COST CLOSE TO $2,000. THEN ABOUT 14 MONTHS LATER; THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNROOF LEAK OCCURRED AND CAUSED FLOODING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. THIS LED TO MOLD AND A CLEAN OF THE CAR TO ALLOW ME TO BREATH IN MY CAR. THIS REPAIR COST OVER $1,000.

MY LIFTGATE BECAME INOPERABLE. IT WAS WORKING FINE SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. THEN WE HAD A BAD STORM AND FOR SOME REASON WATER GOT THRU THE LIFTGATE SOMEHOW AND NOW HAS STANDING WATER IN THE WELL UNDER THE STORAGE ARA, AS WELL AS, IN THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT ON THE SIDE. THIS WATER HAS NOW CAUSED MY LIFTGATE TO STOP WORKING BECAUSE IT FLOODED MY LIFTGATE CONTROL MODULE. THIS IS CAUSING A BIG INCONVENIENCE BECAUSE I CAN'T USE MY LIFTGATE, AND HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS A KNOWN AND RUNNING ISSUE WITH THIS LOCAL VEHICLE.

THIS IS A PROBLEM ON ALL SRX 2011 MODELS. WHEN RAINING, WATER DRAINS INTO THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT AND SHORTS THE MOTOR THAT OPENS THE LIFT GATE. THIS HAPPENS ON A BRAND NEW CAR, IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF POOR MAINTENANCE OR A REPAIR THAT IS NEEDED. SO, IF ONE GETS A FLAT TIRE, IN THE RAIN, ONE CANNOT ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE OR THE TIRE INFLATION KIT, BECAUSE THE LIFT GATE CANNOT BE OPENED TO ACCESS THEM. THE POWER MOTOR IS THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE LIFT GATE - IT CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY BY DESIGN. SO, ONE CAN BE STRANDED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WITH THE POTENTIAL OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. A STRANDED CAR, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, POTENTIALLY AT NIGHT WITH POOR LIGHTING OR ROAD CONDITIONS, AND OTHER VEHICLES MAY CRASH INTO THE CAR. I REALIZE ALL FLAT TIRE SITUATIONS HAVE THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE, THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION IS PROLONGED SIGNIFICANTLY, THEREBY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT WHICH GM DID NOT INTEND, AND THEY MUST FIX IT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, IF SOMEONE HASN'T DIED ALREADY. I AM A RECENT OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, AND THIS IS MY FIRST FLAT TIRE WITH IT, WHICH IS WHY I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW.

RAIN WATER DRAINS IN CAR AFTER EVERY RAIN AND WATER DRAINS INTO THE CAR AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH. I WENT TO DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHILE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. SOON AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS BACK AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. MY CAR SMELLS MOLDY, THE BACKUP CAMERA HAS QUIT WORKING, THE BLUETOOTH MODULE STOPPED WORKING AND I'M CONSTANTLY VACUUMING WATER OUT OF THIS PIECE OF JUNK CAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS MOISTURE PROBLEM. I'VE GONE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANT $400.00 TO FIX THE LEAK AND $1000 TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONICS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT OF MY MAKING AND AFTER ALL THE MONEY I PAID FOR THIS CAR YOU WOULD THINK GM WOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A FIX THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WOULD BE PERMANENT BASED ON PREVIOUS REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE.

WATER IS GETTING INTO THE HEAD LIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES OF MY CAR

CANNOT HEAR SOUNDS WHEN USE TURN SIGNAL LEVEL I.E. SHOULD CLICK...CANNOT HEAR RADIO, AGAIN SOUND ISSUE,... BELT UNFASTENED SOUND INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK...DOOR AJAR SOUND INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK. YOU CANNOT HEAR ANYTHING. TYPICALLY STATIONARY AND IN MOTION THE SOUND INDICATORS DO NOT WORK TURNING ANY DIRECTION AND DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS SAME ISSUE OCCURS. SINCE THIS IS SUMMER NO IDEA IF WEATHER IS A FACTOR. OCCURS WHETHER CAR IS ON, STATIONARY, OR MOVING.

THE TAIL GATE WILL OPEN WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED BUT UNEXPECTEDLY FALLS STRIKING ANYONE IN THE HEAD WHEN PUTTING SOMETHING IN THE BACK END OR TAKING OUT OF THE BACKEND. BECAUSE THE STRUTS FAIL THAT HOLD THE GATE OPEN. THIS IS THE SAME TYPE OF RECALL AS 15V415000 THAT WAS ISSUED 6/30/2015 FOR THE GMC ACADIA, CHEVY TRAVERSE, SATURN OUTLOOK, BUICK ENCLAVE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME PERIOD AS THE SRX. THIS STARTED LAST YEAR BUT THE DEALER SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IT EVEN THOUGH IT FAILED FAIRLY EARLY IN THE CARS LIFE.

DRAINAGE TUBES IN CARS WITH SUNROOFS ARE CLOGGING AND SHORTING OUT THE LIFT GATE MODULE WHICH COULD CAUSE OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OR POSSIBLE A MELTDOWN OR FIRE.. I BOUGHT ONE MODULE AND THE DEALERSHIP BOUGHT THE SECOND ONE THIS WEEK. SINCE THIS OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS I OWNED THE CAR, LUCKILY THE DEALERSHIP COVERED IT. CADILLAC REFUSES TO ADMIT THE DESIGN IS POOR AND WILL NOT HELP CONSUMERS WITH THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIRS (PER THE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH THEM TODAY) IF YOU LOOK ON YOUTUBE OR OTHER SITES FOR CADILLAC OWNERS, YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY SRX'S IT INVOLVES. IT'S WELL OVER $500 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED DEPENDING UPON THE DEALERSHIP/PRICE OF MODULE/LABOR COSTS. PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL. THANK YOU.

WHILE PUTTING GROCERIES IN THE BACK OF THE SRX THE POWER LIFT GATE CAME DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND HIT ME IN THE BACK. I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BUTTON AND OPEN THE GATE BACK UP. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS OR SO IT CAME BACK DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY OPEN.

THE VEHICLE'S SUNROOF DRAIN HOSE MATERIAL SHRINKS DUE TO CHANGING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. THIS RESULTS IN THE DRAIN HOSES DETACHING FROM THE DASH OR SUNROOF MODULE. WATER LEAKS INTO THE VEHICLE DAMAGING INTERIOR COMPONENTS INCLUDING WIRING, ELECTRONIC MODULES, THE SOUND DEADENER AND CARPET. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR THROUGH CAR WASHES.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS NOT COOLING PROPERLY. PASSENGER SIDE IS SOMEWHAT BLOWING COOL AIR AND DRIVER'S SIDE IS BLOWING HOT AIR. THIS IS THE EXACT SITUATION THAT RESULTED IN A RECALL OF 2011 CADILLAC SRX. HOWEVER, THIS CADILLAC SRX WAS NOT INITIALLY INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND HAS NOT BEEN TO-DATE. THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IS 11057; FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 103. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN THE DEFROST MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT IS OBVIOUS FROM OUR RESEARCH THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS IT IS THE EXACT SAME SITUATION AS THOSE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. WE HAVE CONTACTED GMC ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE RECALLS ARE VERY SPECIFIC. WE HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN THIS SITUATION BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SELLING DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THIS IS A GMC SITUATION, NOT A DEALERSHIP PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER ONLY RECALLS CERTAIN VEHICLES IN A GIVEN YEAR WITH A SITUATION AND LEAVES THE OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL ON THE ROAD THAT THEY ARBITRARILY DECIDE NOT TO RECALL THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

I DID THIS IN MY LAST CAR (GM-YUKON) SO I RE-ENACTED TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN IN MY NEW CAR (SRX): I USE MY KEY FOB TO OPEN ONLY THE HATCH-BACK WHEN WALKING UP TO LOCKED CAR. I LAY MY PURSE (WITH KEY-FOB AND CELL PHONE IN IT) IN THE BACK WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES, ETC., AND THEN CLOSE THE HATCH. I AM LOCKED OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR DOESN'T CHIRP TO LET ME KNOW THE KEY-FOB IS THE CAR AFTER CLOSING AS IT DOES WHEN I CLOSE THE DOORS UP FRONT WHILE UNLOCKED. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY COMPLAINT BECAUSE I COULD BE LOCKED OUT AT NIGHT IN A PARKING LOT WITHOUT A PHONE OR MONEY FOR A PAY PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP. I ALSO THINK THAT KEY-FOBS SHOULD HAVE A HOLE IN THE CAR TO PLUG IT INTO. WOMEN TEND TO KEEP KEYS IN PURSE, NOT ON THEIR BODY.
