2010 CADILLAC SRX Structurebody Problems

(1) REAR HATCH CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY, SENSOR SHORTED OUT DUE TO DESIGN FLAW ALLOWING WATER TO COME IN CONTACT WITH SENSOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE.NO WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR. NO SAFETY RELEASE. (2) HEADLIGHTS POOR DESIGN , CONDENSATION BEHIND FRONT HEADLIGHTS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. (3) SUNROOF DRAIN LINE TOO SHORT, DESIGN ISSUE. WATER COLLECTS FROM ROOF DRAIN AND LEAKS INTO PASSENGER FLOOR. WHEN THIS LINE BECOMES DISLODGED. DRAIN LINE IS ABOUT 2 INCHES TOO SHORT. CADILLAC KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX IT. AGAIN ANOTHER $1000.00. THE FRONT DASH DASH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO FIX THIS. CADILLAC IS AWARE OF ALL THESE ISSUES AND REFUSES TO MAKE CORRECTIONS, THESE ARE ALL COMMON PROBLEMS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE BUT EVERY OTHER SRX FROM 2010 TO 2015. I'VE BEEN TO THE...

THE SUN ROOF DRAIN TUBES CAME AWAY FROM THE FIREWALL ON ALL 4 SIDES. WATER LEAKED ALL OVER THE GAS PEDAL AND THE BREAK. I HAVE SLID OFF THE STREET TRYING TO BREAK CAUSING DAMAGE TO A YARD. THE ELECTRICAL ON THE RADIO SYSTEM AND LIGHTS SHORT OUT BECAUSE OF WATER GETTING INTO THE DASH. THE BACK HATCH HAS WATER LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CONTROLS IT AND NOT WILL NOT ALLOW THE HATCH TO OPEN.

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE HAD TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER DOWN TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES TO SLOW OR STOP. PROBLEM CAME ON RELATIVELY QUICKLY. TOOK TO SHOP. DIAGNOSED AS A LEAK IN POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. ALSO, THE HOOD RELEASE MECHANISM IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BROKE, MAKING RELEASE OF HOOD VERY DIFFICULT. DANGEROUS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY REQUIRING ACCESS TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR

I WAS IN A MINOR COLLISION. RAN INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE. MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MY ENGINE IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT ON FIRE AND IN A FEW MINUTES MY WHOLE CARE WAS ON FIRE AND DESTROYED. THERE WAS NO KNOWN REASON HOW OR WHY THE FIRE STARTED.

MY POWER HATCH BACK OPENS ON ITS OWN ALL THE TIME.

REAR HATCH AUTOMATICALLY OPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHEN MY VEHICLE IS PARKED AND LOCKED, AND ALSO WHEN MY VEHICLE IS ON BUT IDLING EITHER IN A CAR WASH, STOP LIGHT, OR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES THE HATCH WILL NOT SHUT UNTIL I TURN OFF THE CAR. *TR

WATER DRAIN FROM MOON ROOF SEPARATED AND WATER FLUID ED THE VEHICLE SHORT IN OUT MANY COMPONENTS. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE HAD TO PAY $1900. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED I FEEL THAT THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AT NO COST TO ME. BEING THAT THERE WERE AT LEAST FIVE OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME DEALER REPAIR SHOP AT THE SAME TIME. SPOKE TO THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRING THE CAR BEFORE MINE AND WAS TOLD HE KNEW ACTUALLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE SHOWED ME THAT THE DRAIN TUBE CAME FROM THE FACTORY PULLED TO SHORT AND TIGHT AND WHEN THERE IS A HEAVY RAIN THE RUN OFF CAUSED THE TUBING THAT RUN DOWN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD END PILLARS TO SEPARATE WHICH THEN LEADS TO WATER FILLING THE INTERIOR CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, IN BETWEEN THE DOORS, OVER THE DASH AND IT'S INTERIOR COMPONENTS, DOWN INTO THE LIFT GATE AND...

REAR POWER DOOR (LIFTGATE) REVERSES WHEN OPENING AND SHUTS BY ITSELF. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME I OPEN THE DOOR. IT USUALLY REVERSES WHEN 1/4 TO 3/4 OPEN, THEN SHUTS COMPLETELY. RE-OPENING THE DOOR NORMALLY SUCCEEDS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I WAS HIT ON THE HEAD LAST YEAR BY THIS. THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX THIS AND THEY SAY DETROIT HAS NO ANSWER. *TR
