Bought this vehicle new after suffering with a 2009 SRX and its timing chain issues. Had it 5 years and 2 months, 51000 miles and everything quit. Drivers seat won't heat, keys get locked in car (not suppose to be possible) and now a service rear axle warning. Of course all of this is now out of warranty. Contacted a Cadillac dealer and he states "everything breaks - go ahead and buy a jeep, I don't care", contacted Cadillac and got the "sorry for your luck" statement. BUT if you check online all of these are know issues. The axle issue includes Buick and Corvette a well. Besides these issue the residual value of the thing is terrible. (10/2019) Its been gone for 2 years and we DON'T miss it!

With the exception of tires recently changed, this car has been absolutely a pleasure to own and drive. I waited specifically for the 2012 model to get the larger V6 with increased HP, and it has not disappointed. Extremely comfortable car to drive.

Have had friends and relatives drive this, all very impressed. My father was a ford or chrysler man that also purchased one after me. Excellent quality inside and outside. Tremendous performance and acceptable economy. Only complaint is large blind spot.

Everything was great except the low beam headlights which should have been recalled by GM. California won a class-action suit against GM, because of the rubber O-ring/seal/molding at the back opening allows moisture to get in and destroy the reflective material overtime. The low beam headlamps get dimmer and dimmer to the point of severe danger. Cost for GM to repair $1700, and they put the same crap in. Saw one individual who had LEDs installed on Youtube, and only cost $250.00. Not sure what state though. Other than that I would have never sold the car. Loved that car. If you are in the city/suburbs with street lights you will never notice it. Also, my one co-worker is 6' 8" and loved the passenger front seat, because he had room for his legs and was not against the ceiling. Lots of cargo space too.

Unreliable Nav System.

While I enjoy all the reasons I chose the SRX (ease of entry/exit, style, seat comfort, handling, etc), the expensive Navigation system is a joke! The map display is fine, the audible prompts are OK, the way it works with POI's is confusing, but the main reason for having a GPS system (guiding you to a destination) is totally unreliable! I, like so many others I now discover, have, in only a few months of ownership, experienced numerous incidence of inaccurate directions. Apparently the map database used is woefully out of date and inaccurate. To compound the disappointment, GM knows it's bad and offers no fix! Back to Japan or Korea for next car!
