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.
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,
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?
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.
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?
Drain sprain.. USE DUCT TAPE SON. GET ERRR DOOONE!!
Lift gate problems HAH!! Use a stick boy.. GET ERR DOOONE!!
Another way is to drill a hole and add a drain plug. GET ERR DOOONE!!
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?
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.
Very nice video.
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
Would you consider this a dependable vehicle? Like, +150,000 miles?
Front hub bearings went out on our 2016 SRX4 with only 52,000 miles.
How much does it cost to fix the sunroof if control buttons don't work?
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.
#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!
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.
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.
