Model years to avoid

Cadillac SRX

What it says about you

Opinion

The crossover that kept Cadillac's lights on through a difficult decade. Sensible, and it did its job.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

13 model years on record, 3,045 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2015 (dim), 2011 (moisture), 2010 (moisture). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.
