The 2016 SRX is not one of GM’s finest creations. Basically, it’s the kind of problem that’s impossible to ignore.
#CADILLAC SUV SRX FULL#
If the loss of control isn’t annoying (and dangerous) enough, you’ll see a full array of warning lights on the dashboard telling you that there’s a problem. When it fails, it cam make the vehicle difficult to control. The steering wheel and its position sensor are a very important part of the vehicle’s StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Assist system. There have been reports among some SRX owners saying that the steering wheel position sensors fail (repeatedly). These are lower numbers than what GM had advertised, and as you can imagine, it left a lot of owners feeling miffed. With all-drive, the numbers decrease to 16-23-18 mpg respectively. The 2016 SRX gets 17 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and 19 combined for front-drive models. Does it look like the sounds coming from the sunroof were driving me nuts? Because they were. It should also be noted that leaky sunroofs are a common issue in vehicles that have them. I drove through a heavy rainstorm at highway speeds for approximately 10 minutes, and I heard a lot of water sloshing around in the track for days afterwards. The 2016 SRX that I drove had sunroof issues. Extreme weather (like heavy rain and cold / hot temperatures) is another reason. The most common reason for this failure is dust becoming lodged between the rubber seal and the metal panel. A deteriorating motor can make a grinding noise, eventually leading to the sunroof being completely inoperable. Such noise is a known sign for the failure of the sunroof motor. Owners of the SRX have frequently reported a grinding noise that occurs when operating the sunroof. I’m not exactly sure what all the gripes were about the interior, because I liked it quite a bit! Malfunctioning sunroof It seems to be a common complaint in this type of vehicle. I can’t fault Cadillac for making an uncomfortable mid-sized SUV though. This is something that I didn’t have a problem with either. For what’s it’s worth, I’m 5′-11″, and I didn’t have any issues.Īlso, the front seat is said to be harder than one would expect for a luxury vehicle of this caliber. Of course, this all depends on how tall you are. I never in a million years would have thought that it would be one of the biggest complaints of my 2016 Cadillac SRX review.įurthermore, there have been reports from owners stating that there is not enough leg space. I can agree with this, as it’s one of the biggest complains I had when I drove one of these. Many owners have complained and reported that the headrest is in an inconvenient position. Good luck doing it on your own if you don’t have the right tools. What’s more, these light bulbs can be hard to find and challenging to replace. The daytime running light bulbs, as well as the front turn signals, tend to fail prematurely. The dreaded touch screen infotainment system in the 2016 SRX (photobombed by my disgustingly hairy knee). The fact that you can only access the radio, HVAC, and other integral controls through the touch screen display compounds the frustration of this problem. Even if it doesn’t entirely malfunction, haze and spider cracks make the screen challenging to read.Frustratingly enough, this hasn’t resulted in any solutions to this problem (yet). There have been many lawsuits concerning this problem.The problem is likely the result of poor interlayer bonding in the screen during manufacturing.As expected, this makes it extremely difficult or simply impossible to use. Not only does the infotainment screen tend to become delaminated, many owners have reported cracks appearing out of nowhere.These layers notoriously separate or delaminate, which results in a touchscreen full of air bubbles on the surface, spider cracks all over the place, and even dead spots. The infotainment system utilizes a capacitive touchscreen made up of many layers placed together in addition to a glass substrate, sensing electronics, and a protective film.
