You should note: The back sun roof drains come out behind the back fenders. You can undo the screws in the fender well and grab the back of the fender and pull toward you to see where the drain hole is located. Blow it out with air. When the drain is clogged, it will fill your trunk full of water destroying your pump and modulator. It happened to me… I drilled five holes in the bottom of my truck to prevent that from happening again.
I'm on my 2nd SRX, I suppose I've been lucky I haven't had any of these problems. No sunroof, liftgate, timing chain issues. My last SRX ended up with 176k miles. My current SRX is at 116k miles and still looks brand new. Literally 2 of the best cars I've ever owned.
What years did you have
I’m thinking of buying a 2011 srx with low 100k plus miles is the 2011 year a good reliable model
@@johnc5914 I bought my 2011 SRX in 2013 with 18K miles on it. I had zero problems until this year, 98K miles. Had to replace a front wheel bearing and front sway bar links. Really loved this car. A little underpowered with the 3.0L but all in all, great comfortable and dependable transportation. Average fuel economy is 18.6 mpg over those miles.
@@togamac My 2011 has the 2.8T. It’s a big difference between the turbo and the 3.0V6. If you stomp on the gas at at red light first and second gear come on strong. After that the turbo falls off then takes a couple of seconds to get going again. It’s not like I smash the gas pedal all the time but it’s nice to have that extra boost when it’s needed. I bought my 2011 SRX in the fall of 2020 and it only had 19,278 miles on it and as of now it has only a touch over 26K. I’ve had probably $8-9,000 worth of repairs done on the damn thing HOWEVER the dealer extended warranty I bought at the time of purchase paid for it all…..with the exception of the $100 deductible for each issue I’ve had with it. Once I got all of those issues fixed I haven’t had it in the shop for anything. It rides and handles great and is a solid vehicle. The headlights are going to be extremely expensive to replace because the plastic is starting to cloud and it cannot be buffed out. They have to be replaced. That’s probably going to be around $1,300 each to replace.
I have 2012 srx, did not have any problem the video showed, but had other problems. Still a good car I consider.
No,no,no you missed the #1 problem. The CUE screen becomes unable to detect touch. I personally know 6 other SRX owners who have had to replace this same video screen. It is the reason it is unlikely I will ever own an American car again. Cadillac does not stand behind its defective components. I have otherwise had pretty good service from my SRX. The CUE video screen is a big problem and is pervasive.
This happened to me too on my 2014. I bought a replacement on Amazon about two years ago and so far, so good.
Yes I hate it .. It broke 2 days after I bought it
GM Is just junk
Just replaced mine 2nd one
I'm on my 3rd CUE Screen I believe maybe 4th ( I've lost track). The 1st one broke within the first 5 months I bought my SRX. Each screen since has been a refurbished model. Apparently you can't get a new one just refurbished so I keep running into similar problems each time.
Love this site. It has helped me many times. Give them the love and order parts from them when possible.
I saw your video on how to clear/reset the heated seat on the cadillac srx when the heated seat won't stay on. my problem isn't that the light won't stay on, it's that the driver's seat doesn't heat at all. the light turns on and stays light up, but the seat itself doesn't get warm. aside from the reset that you suggested in the video, what other things can i try?
So glad this didn't show real major issues, except for possibly having to replace timing chain. I just purchased a 2016 a few days ago. Only 54K on it and has service records of Mobile One oil use only. Hopefully this will keep my chain in good working order. As far as the other 4 issues I have not experienced any and this vehicle is 7 years old. Thanks for the tips.
If you change oil every 5K miles, unlikely to have timing change issue. Does not matter which vehicle you own, if you don't change oil regularly or late on oil changes, you will have timing chain issue.
I have a 2010 SRX, purchased new. I have seen two of the five problems reported here. The timing chain problem and head light condensation.
Cadillac has a rebate program for replacing the headlights, as a result from a class-action law suit. The headlight replacement is not a recall program, but they will reimburse you for the coast of replacing the headlights. The replacement was roughly $1,300. I think that program has been discontinued.
My timing chain and chain tensioner were replaced at 35k mile, under warranty.
My SRX has been garaged it's lifetime, so I have not experienced the roof problem with clogged drains. However, I have head of many who have.
Good posting. Thanks,
Make sure to check your oil level often. The older engines burned more oil making the engine run hot and stretching the chain. There is a fix, some redesigned gasket for the intake manifold/PCV system.
very good video. thanks much. you guys rock.
Wow thanks for amazing knowledge you arw such and amazing mechanic sounds and clear.🤩
ok about the sunroof, a common problem is the drain tube, they used cheap plastic so the tube actually shrinks and pops out at the bottom and drained in the car, dealership wanted a ton to fix but I was able to fix myself with no problem for about 5 bucks..
Helpful tips, thank you!
Great,professional style video .one of best car videos I've seen.Cant help but deal with you guys.
I own a 2013 srx4 with the premium trim. It is lovely. Mileage is 187,788. Other than tires, oil and changing the Cue screen (1 100 USD ) and both front wheel ball bearings I had to change the axle feeding torque to the rear wheels (875.00 USD). For an 8 year old car, that it is also used as an Uber more than 50% of the time, that is not bad at all. Actually it beats my Volvo S80 which I painfully owned for 11 years. I am also a skillful hyper mileager, so the miles per gallon is almost 19.
Question, for the sunroof leak, would the sunroof seals be the only issue with leaks. I only ask because I'm having excessive water leakage coming from multiple areas, around the sunroof.
Thank you ! This informations is Very important.!!!!
I've had 3 SRX's , a 14 & 2 15's , none had any of these problems ....BUT ! All 3 had the cue screens go to the Devils house !! They are a real top 5 problem !!
If you are handy, you can replace the screens yourself, $30 on eBay.
I don’t own a Cadillac but the car I drive has a Sunroof. It was leaking fixed it myself for under 20.00.. How? In the channels of the sunroof the drain holes and tubes can get clogged. I went to Lowe’s or Home Depot. Bought the largest diameter string trimmer line. Which was .125. Cut off a piece about 6 feet long and reamed those drain holes out. What nasty I was pulling out. Do that then take very gentle pressure water stream n keep flushing them till you see clear water draining out from under the car…
Very good video. I had 1,2,and 5 already.
Wow just bought a 2010,and it was raining when I test droveand notice water coming in on the pillar,plus I Kno about the time change,issue....I'm going to change oil,today thanks good info,and headsuppp👍👍👍👍
hey what do you think about it? after 7 months of driving ?
From Jordan, I send you my regards. Indeed, you are a wonderful human being. Everything I talked about in this video is true. I have the same car, and today because of the rain, water entered the interior. It seems that there is a problem with the rainwater drainage system🙏❤️
Love the 2011 SRX, my issues upper strut & shocks, control arms, weak headlights, internal condensation leaks, and this weeks luxury car problem rim leaks, so have to buy new rim, but other than that love it 😂
Have 114k miles on our '12 SRX bought new. Never had any of these problems except lift gate acted up once but has worked fine since. Sunroof doesn't leak, timing chain is fine, no rough idle, and headlights are totally dry. Oh, we do have to put gasoline in it every so often. Going to get new Cadillac next fall.
What do you mean you have to put gasoline in it every so often ?
@@poetrybykikitru3lies629 ….
I got the timing chain stretch issue, the dealer Quoted me $3900 to fix it or $9000 for a new engine. However the parts to fix it were on back order so they could only replace the engine.
Honest. Amazing.
I had the timing chain issue fixed via a recall. Another issue that i experienced around 70k miles was an issue with the wheel bearings needing to be replaced, or the suv would struggle to get out of first gear.
I think you might have forgotten about prossibly the BIGGEST problem the SRX has.....NO light from the headlights! the SRX has serious issues with being able to see where you are going in the dark
I bought KATANA H11 H8 H9 LED Bulbs, 6500K off Amazon and they work great. I did have to keep the back covers off for the fan vent. I use to have HID bulbs, so I used the wire setup that connected to the battery with a relay. Not sure if they will directly hook to the factory plugs and work correctly.
So I got a second hand srx and it's been having issues with limp mode iv replaced several sensors and I'm at the point we're a code won't even pop up but it will go into it at random, and I'm stuck up $hit creek and don't know if I should just give up on it or not. Any advise is appreciated
My 2011 has the 2.8T. It’s a big difference between the turbo and the 3.0V6. If you stomp on the gas at at red light first and second gear come on strong. After that the turbo falls off then takes a couple of seconds to get going again. It’s not like I smash the gas pedal all the time but it’s nice to have that extra boost when it’s needed.

That’s probably going to be around $1,300 each to replace.
If buffing doesn't work, use 1200 grit sand paper keep it wet while sanding, than buff it out they come out like brand new
I just checked Amazon for assemblies for my 2012. $200 for a set of 2 and LED headlights are about $50 a set.
Do with that information what you will
I’ve had my SRX for two years now and I’ve already spent close to $1,000 with drain issues. First one was the sunroof, just yesterday was the driver’s drain and HVAC drain. It’s clear to me now that all these drains have to be cleared constantly, which is a pain in the butt to say the least. And my car smells really bad old stinky water so now a car shampoo will easily be $100-$150 😔
Odoban from Walmart. Just pour on the floor overnight. Scrub it out and suck it out the next day. Then let it air dry.
Clean it up and use 2 inch Gorilla Tape on the sun roof , sealing the water out….take your time be careful and press it down with good pressure….mine has been on for two years and stopped all leaks.
Or sell the dam thing.
2009 to 2016 and many other models …this has been an issue with many cars and many GM cars have never addressed this leak issue
If you change oil regularly with good oil, you won't have timing chain issue. My 2012 SRX with 110K miles runs like new. I change oil every 5k miles, drained/filled trans fluid at 60K and 110k miles. However, I did replace both rear wheel bearings because the magnetic strip for ABS broken off. This week, code P0496 pops up, $16 evap purge solenoid fixed the issue. Besides that, very reliable vehicle. One more thing, it starts to sip oil (about 1.5 quarts for 5K miles). I switched to high mileage oil and it seems to improve a lot.
Thank you
Yeah my back liftgate doesn't come up and yes I have leaking in my vehicle. but I think the leaking caused the liftgate issue maybe electrical problem so I'm definitely going to get that cleaned out if it's clogged up.
I have the same issue as you. Any update on it
Great video as always. Thank you very much. One question; which alarm system do you recommend for my SRX 2011? I don't want to have any issues with the electrical system if I install an alarm that is not compatible with the car...
SO TRUE HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED, GATE LIFT OPENS WHEN IT WANTS TO .. ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED COMES ON ONLY ON REALLY HOT DAYS ..
I have a 2010 model and the door lock buttons on the dashboard aren't working nor do the knobs on the door go up or down how can I fix this? Any help would be great thanks.
If the timing chain breaks while driving does it destroy the piston and valves? I'm looking to buy one with broken chain.
I have a 2010 srx with 88,000 mi on it and got in a flash flood. Water got in the intake and it shut off. I got the water out and changed the oil but the starter just clicks once and doesn't crank? Also can I swap the 3.6 from a 2012-1015 srx into my 2010 srx?
Very nice video.

I have the 2014 Premium. When I purchased it it only had 60k miles, I'm now at 88k. The cue screen had to be replaced. I'm now having the tailgate problem. Lets hope these are the only issues I have to face
How do I get the liftgate module programed?
I’ve got a code c056d on a 2012 srx.
does anyone know what could be done to repair this issue?
Problems With the Lift Gate Note: Check the Lift Gate Actuator relay in the spare tire well.
If the sunroof drains leak into the spare tire well, it shorts out the actuator.
+dana arnold Thanks for the feedback!
Junk, I have 2010 with 70,000miles and drilled 3 / 1/8 holes under actuator so water leaks out...
Just a matter of time before SunRoof leaks.
2010-2018 same unsolved issue.
No more GM products and I used to be UAW
@@mikewilbur4623 I also drilled couple holes in the spare tire well bottom and install new module higher than it was originally.
My 2011 Srx does not shut off when I cut off the engine. It sounds like a fan is still running? what should I change the temperature gauge
Can you do a video on new API SP rated oils? Will the old NA 8v engines benefit from it too, or only modern turbo variable valve engines with timing chains? My engines requires API SL, but I use API SN for better protection.

+Jorge Thanks for the feedback!
My 2012 srx is having the sunroof tube issue. Passenger floor is wet because the tube is clogged. I have to figure out how to remove front bumper so I can clean it by blowing air in tube with air compressor. Also gotta figure out how to get rid of water puddle under passenger floor on metal frame . And then of course gotta clean the water soaked, mildew smelling passenger floor.
pull off the pilot and replace the tube. easy fix
Where can I find a repair manual for 2014 Cadillac SRX? Do they make a paperback?
Don’t forget the cue screen shatters after extreme heat. Very common!
El día de hoy 26 Aug 2022 iba a comprar una suv como esta año 2010 preciosa. Durante mucho tiempo atrás siempre quise algo así. LA encontré a un precio cómodo con 136000K. Me pareció bien. Emtre a esto de los comentarios en múltiples video y acabo de ABORTAR la misión de comprar este auto. La mayoría de los comentarios son NEGATIVOS o de cierta DESCONFIANZA hacia este vehículo y sinceramente no quiero decirme a mi mismo " leíste los comentarios y aun así la compraste " La podría comprar pero con ello viene mas gasto de regustracion y aseguranza mas alata. Mejor voy por mi LINCOLN MKX mismo año , del cual leo MUCHOS COMENTARIOS POSITIVOS sin mencionar que ya tuve uno y es una chulada. Saluditos!

Hey question. I have a 2013 SRX and my car shakes when I accelerate. Usually if I’m going up hill, or if I’m getting on the highway at higher speed. Any idea what might cause that?
+C F We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Rear differential
Get your transmission fluid changed, this just happened to me
May need need set of tires
Another common issue evap code try gas cap, but it can also be the plastic vent cracked or broken at fuel pump. Requiring fuel pump replacement.
My Blower stopped working the hvac and Blower fuses are good I think the relay is not pulling in
Hello. Could you help me I have a 2012 cadillac srx and this ad appears on the dashboard. service Rear Axel. and I don't know what it is. or what do I mean. Thank you so much.
If you have AWD, the oil and filter need to be replaced in the rear. I changed mine myself for about $60, I believe the dealer is around $300.
Headlights do develop leaks. Have a qualified mechanic seal the housings. Inexpensive fix that negates new housings.
Sunroof drains do clog up causing 2 problems:1. leaks inside car 2. water contamination of liftgate module which controls liftgate$$.
Motor pcv system on 2010 ~2012 doesn't vent well. (ALL GM 3.0 and 3.6 motors have same problem.) Get pcv valve drilled out and/ or get an oil catch can installed. Helps alleviate carbon build up in intake, prevents hard starting/ rough idling and reduces likelihood of timing chain stretching. If PCV valve is not addressed or catch can is not installed or oil is not changed regularly, timing chains WILL stretch and WILL have to be replaced around 100k. $$$
-Seal headlight housings
-Address pcv system and get catch can.
-Have qualified mechanic make sure sunroof drains are clear.
Enjoy your car.
I have a message when I put my car in reverse it says service parking assist, the mirrors stopped facing down when in reverse, the parking assist button doesn’t do anything. Anything else I can do?
Don't backup.
It's quite ridiculous that Cadillac builds anything with known problems. I just got a 2014 SRX. Now I get to find out what's going to break. Don't get me started with it not having a spare tire
I have a 2013 with 100K miles. Just do the recommended maintenance listed in the book. Check the oil level every couple thousand miles, low oil can damage the timing chain. The spare tire kit was an add-on option, donut. You can probably still get it through the dealer. The only thing that broke for me was the CUE screen, replaced it myself.
Everything will
I have Cadillac SRX 4 2010, I'm facing issue of Low Coolant Level message on dash but coolant level is fine and its not leaking and level of coolant is fine from long time, I have changed expansion tank with sensor but the message is still there, any idea for this issue ?
Try to clear the code with a scanner or disconnect the battery for a few minutes.
are the drains, metal or plastic?
How do I reset the infotainment system and update for 2011 srx
Yup, had all those done under an extended warranty, except the sunroof leaking into the liftgate motor housing, cost about $2k to fix, oh yah and new headlights cost me $1700
Don't you love how they don't do anything about that? Same problem.
GM giveme $1740 after six months.
I work at a caddy dealership. There was a recall for those headlights still in affect today. Even if they have been replaced before you can get parts warranty for them. We have some that go bad after a year and coming in like clockwork
Thanks I have a 2012 but none of those issues yet..
How many miles?
Im having a P0606 code. Its temporary though. I started it to move it over and it had check engine light and a bunch of codes so i turned it off, checked all the connections i could find and gave it a look in the dark to make sure i didnt see in arcing from bad wires and then afterwards i started it and it ran fine. Took it around the block no issues. But its definitely suspect now in my mind.
I noticed srx....4? What model is that? Ty
Can someone tell me how do you know if you have a timing chain issue?
GM screwed consumers with that headlight issue . They finally did a recall , during the peak of Covid restrictions and only for a few months . I was never notified, they claimed they mailed me a notice. I had to go out of pocket to buy the entire lens assembly and then the bulbs . Labor was ridiculous because the front bumper has to drop to get the lens in . Now they have drop the support for On Star because of 5G switch over .
Transmission fluid and water mixed together in the radiator. What do you do or what part located to fix it
+@clarencemoore4004 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I want one there cheap now since there discontinued but imma look for one with low miles
So in summary:
If you're the kind of driver who doesn't really maintain their vehicle, you're going to have issues.
Because the only real problem I see here is the headlight issue - and many have it since they went with the newer housing styles (which are terrible).
The Chrysler Sebring 96-2001 had WAY more issues than this. Transmission, brakes, air conditioner, speed sensor, etc.
I agree. Make it 7
My remote start isn’t working. Could it be due to the check engine light being on? I have a muffler leak and a scheduled repair in a few days. Once they turn off the engine light, will remote start work again?
Light on. No remote start
+Dieter Schors Great question! Check out our library for more videos here: 1aau.to/m/video-library-c
Your remote start will not work if the C.E.L is on its a GM failsafe.
In mine the water ended in the spear wheel compartment and messed it the circuit board and pump of the back lift door which doesn't open. I had to pierce a hole to drain the water out. That's a major defect.
My problems at 100k miles, wheel bearings. Also the timing chain was fixed in the 2015 year. Still need to make sure to change oil on time.
Keep an eye on the oil level. The engines burn some oil. The low level causes the chain to get hot and stretch.
Uh.. TIMING CHAIN is a MAJOR ISSUE! I can't even imagine what that repair would cost!!😳
I'm glad I passed on this auto!! I went ACURA instead!😊
+Einstein Casino Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
08 CTS here. Cadillac replaced my timing chain for free under a silent recall a couple years ago. Not sure if the same applies for this, it is the same motor.
Timing chain issue was resolved for the 2012 model year and afterward. Nice try, Einstein. And as everyone knows, foreign cars never have anything go wrong.
@@rand49er what did they change in 12. ? I have a 13. Pretty sure it's the same as all the older yrs ? Tell me I'm wrong ?
@@bidenbecheatin2245 2012 was a reworked engine with more horsepower, 308hp. The older engine burned more oil, people did not check it often enough causing the chain to get hot and stretch.
So are the timing chains failing prematurely even if maintenance/oil changes rare done?
I don’t think so. My 2012 SRX has never had timing chain issues. I use the Walmart supertech full synthetic oil and filter. I only change the oil when the oil change warning comes on. My srx does consume oil though, I add about a quart in between oil changes. Car has 130k miles.
@@raulfernandez9111 I wouldn't trust those oil life monitors, they usually call for too long in between oil changes. I'd be on the safe side with 3-4k miles between changes.
Is there any way to discover if someone rolled the miles back on these cars? Short of asking for oil change receipts? Which most probably wouldn't have..
Transmission just went on my 2013. Would be ok in a couple weeks or so or when there’s no more salt on the roads, that’s when cars come out of storage. Gone too soon!
I bought a 2016 Srx luxury last yr. So far I've had to replace the battery and the starter. Also had the recall on the rear toe link replaced. I'm having issues with my car hesitating to shift from 1st-3rd gears but the others are fine.
Make sure to check the transmission oil level. Drain and replace at 50K miles.
I have a 2013 SRX. Anybody have a radiator install video or step by step?
If you haven't found a video. You have to remove the cowl on the front, then the bumper fascia. There are fasteners under the cowl and in the fender wells. There will be 4 10 mm bolts holding the radiator on. And the clips for the trans cooler you have to be gentle with or they will leak. Get a small pick tool to remove the metal "spring" from the plastic cover then the lines will come out. Also make sure you do not pull the petcock/drain plug out all the way...it will leak
You forgot the PCV system on the rt bank needs to be modified, and changing your oil will make the timing chain last longer.
I recommend verifying that you don't have HID headlights before buying a SRX. They commonly leak and are very costly to replace. I wish I had normal Halogen headlights.
+Ryan Wolf Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks I think the sunroof will be a problem I’m thinking of purchasing one
It totally is.
I have one and it's by biggest, most consistent problem. I wasn't aware of it at first and the water collected where the lift gate module is. It essentially almost fried my car. Thousands of dollars to fix. As long as you're consistently checking the sun roof ,like monthly, you should be able to avoid it though.
@@tinytrexarms9321 what year is your srx and how many mikes?
I’ve had my srx for 6 years and I’ve never had a problem with the sunroof
I have had serious issues with the stabilitrack , and engine running rough. I love my car but am afraid I am looking at new engine or possibly a computer.
Same
@@JFreezePleaze Stabiltrack could be just a sensor. Rough engine could be dirty air/gas intakes.
@Tallman so what was it? And how much? Asking for a friend!
GM makes junk these days unfortunately buy a Lexus!!!
Mine was just a bearing wheel to change
What are the major problem faced in this 2010 model ? Anything to look out for second hand ?
I have a 2010 models and it's the same problems. I have an issue with my roof, liftgate and one headlight so far.
@@Choco-Kat is it worth getting?
What I'm hearing us that PROPER MAINTENENCE is STILL a great idea. If you hust drive them until the wheels fall off... it'll cost you. Just like ANY car.
I wish i would’ve known this before i bought one 3 years ago. Worst investment of my life I’m currently shopping for a new headlight and the lift gate door only worked the first month I had the car 🤦🏻♀️ and this year the sunroof started leaking causing staining and possible mold. I’ve been using a dehumidifier in the car after rainy weather. DO NOT BUY ANY CADILLAC SRX!!!
I gave up on American cars years ago its unfortunate to say but they make junk. It's not necessarily the engineering it's that they use cheap parts. I have a Lexus RX 350 and have never had one problem nothing breaks they are built to last.
Right after I bought mine 3 years ago had to put it in the shop it wouldn't shift into park, it's doing it again it's a 2013 SRX.
I drive with the high beams on
Front hub bearings went out on our 2016 SRX4 with only 52,000 miles.
I had one fribt hub bearing fail under warranty. It took three trips to the dealer to diagnose the problem,, with wheel noise symptoms.
Same with 38,000 miles
Same problem 39000
2014..headlight keeps burning out!
This is pretty much the soul vehicle I've worked on most everyday for the past 7 years. This video has some misinformation. The older body style Cts 3.6 has a very common timing chain issue, Ive never heard of a timing chain issue on the newer 3.6 engines in the srx, xts, enclave, newer cts etc . Throttle body and mass air flow issues are super rare. Check engine light for a Camshaft actuator/solenoids are insanely common, and if you guys are selling timing chains because of that you must be making a lot of money, every single front cover leaks, front lower control arm bushings clunk regularly, front wheel bearings make noise, Cue screen loose touch and/or the screen cracks, one side of the a/c blows hot because of the desicant bag(spelling), fuel pump leaks setting a evap code, and a little more on the rare side but still a known issue is the 3-5-R clutch assembly in the transmission completely breaks and you loose 3rd, 5th and reverse. For everyones information headlights do get condensation an most everyone gets one free set of headlights through GM under a special coverage policy.
Hey guys I have a 2010 srx 4, my screen won't go up anymore, does anyone have that issue also or does anyone know how to fix that? I've checked my fuses, if theres anything I can do before going to mechanic first, please let me know if anyone knows
+Kyra Smith We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Sell your Cadillac SUV ASAP the guy just said sometimes I have timing belt issues with how many miles sell sell sell sell
?? What about gear selector shifter has there been any issues people have had please leave a comment
I’ve had issues with 1,2,4 and 5.
Please add CueScreen issues! We just bought a used 2014. The screen dries up. We are replacing it with aftermarket screen to permanently solve the problem. Friend of mine also bought a 2015 a couple years ago and they have replaced the entire module twice now.
True, I have a 2016 and my inside screen cracked ☹️
2014, same issue with CUE screen
My 16 had it too (spiderweb) only paid $50 at dealer got a whole new CUE
My 2013 frozen touchscreen was replaced under warranty. Newer unit now starting to fail after 3 years.
#6 Replacing the car battery. If the battery is in the Left Rear trunk area, you have to remove cover panels that are a pain!
I would imagine that NO car parts store would replace the battery for the owner!
Would you consider this a dependable vehicle? Like, +150,000 miles?
So far yes with diligent care
Sell right now Cadillacs are not dependable unless you buy an older one made in the 80s and older and even then they're not dependable but they're easy to work on and way cheaper
hi! little late on your reply by my 2012 cadillac srx is at 204,000 miles and it’s been holding up pretty well after i get a transmission replaced :)
No
I had a Chevrolet traverse and tbh I changed my oil regularly even before the time it was to change it and my timing chain Still stretched this is a common problem with this motor and eventually it will give out just an fyi
This guy must work for Cadillac he didn't mention the most important safety thing of the hundreds of lawsuits for faulty headlights from 2010 to 2016 the bulbs get so hot they melt the inner housing
I am looking at buying a 2015 srx base model used from one owner. Would you recommend this? Everything's checked out, screen already replaced and new tires added. One accident long ago that was front panel damage. 70,000 km from a Cadillac gm dealership.
Only thing I'm worried about is I saw some bubbling on the surface near the tail gate handle. But I used a magnet and it was still metal. So no puddy.
