Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When I put the SRX into reverse the back up camera does not come on for 3 to 4 seconds. I am backing blind during that period. Cadillac told me that is just the way it is. Someday someone is going to run over a child while backing up, because they didn't see the child on the screen. This is a glaring safety defect.”
NHTSA complaint #10449297, filed 2012-02“The contact owns a 2012 Cadillac SRX. While reversing at 3 MPH in the rain, the contact noticed that the backup camera display failed and the tail lights flickered and blinked independently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in any recalls or campaigns. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.”
