Start up noise when vehicle is COLD

I love my SRX 2012 however i am now experiencing annoying and embarrassing noises when my car starts up ONLY WHEN ITS COLD AND ON IT FIRST STARTS. When it’s warmed up and driven like if i go to store and then restart car, it will not make this noise. It’s very weird. I e taken back to dealership i bought if from and they can not diagnose noise because it’s only on first start. Can anyone give me any ideas? A luxury Cadillac should NOT make these noises at all!

This Cadillac is the best one I have ever owned and expect many more trouble free miles. I bought it new, not used. I sold it and bought a new XT5 (SRX replacement).

Perfect Bling to Wear

Everyone stops and take a look at my new 2012 SRX. Design is like none other. Nothing on the road looks like this. The Lex twin looks small to this. Mine is Black Raven with Stone interior. In the past I was a huge Ford Explorer fan buying 2 in the last 6 years. Trust me, they never offered the luxury of this. Buttons galore including rain sense and power turn in side mirrors for the car wash and bank drive in windows. All the interior of my new SRX have leather with French Stitching on the dash, all side door parts. So much attention to detail. Rides like being on a feather.

Cadillac Forgot Comfort

I have had this SUV for 7 weeks and 3500 miles. The seats are VERY uncomfortable. The bolsters are too hard to the point that I have black and blue marks on the back of my thighs. The space between the bolsters is 11 1/2" but my rear end is 13 1/2" and I am not a large man. Maybe a larger person would have their own padding, but I don't. The seats are too hard. The back seat has no leg room and is also very hard. My biggest problem is with the head rest leaning to far forward. I can not sit straight in the seat. So I had to remove the head rest.
