“Beginning in may of 2013, the right turn signal bulb has continually blown.......5 instances including the time right now that we are having repaired tomorrow. Just the right front light!! The local Cadillac dealer does not seem to consider this a problem because there's been no recall assigned, nor has GM mentioned it anywhere as an issue. First instance 5-27-2013, then 8-23-2013, then 2-22-2014, the 4th time we had them replace the pigtail in addition to the bulb, and as I mentioned we take the car in tomorrow again for the same issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10598918, filed 2014-06, 73,943 miles“Car was not accelerating properly, loud engine noise, lurching forward while stopped, when driving car shakes, vehicle is hesitating ride not smooth. Check engine light appeared. Also left turn signal flashes too fast. 2006 SRX timing chain and related components replaced 07/09 and again 01/11. Replaced left turn signal bulb and socket. No explanation given as to why either occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #10378768, filed 2011-01, 78,954 miles“At random the blinker and electrical system fail in my 2006 Cadillac SRX v6 awd. I was driving and turned on the blinker to make a turn and the blinker did not sound and did not function. This problem does not happen regularly it is a 1 in a 100. I have had my Cadillac in to a Cadillac dealer multiple times to have this corrected and I fear that more cars may have this problem and an accident may occur. At times where the blinker fails the radio also may skip stations.”
NHTSA complaint #10220538, filed 2008-03“The front turn signals are constantly burning out, and are not easy and very costly to get to for replacement. Four bulbs in six months is unacceptable.”
NHTSA complaint #10625820, filed 2014-08“2006 Cadillac SRX 5door the problem that I am reporting is that the front r and front l side turning / lane changing light/indicators do not illuminate for purpose of turning/ lane changing indications. If neighboring lane vehicle is beyond the rear tail light indicator, that side traveling vehicle has no way of knowing the Cadillac's directional intentions. The lack of knowing the Cadillac's directional intentions shall result in highway /expressway collisions! This is more particularly dangerous to the Cadillac's neighbor lane vehicle especially if it is in the Cadillac's blind spot. …”
