Anonymous, FL (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"screen went complete blank"
Eugene L., AR (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"The CUE entertainment system is a bad design. Instead of fixing it, Cadillac forces you to be a re manufactured unit. This unit is not improved, but simply fixed. Still, a bad design. This should be fixed and recalled."
Craig G., GA (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"Onboard computer control touch screen has been inop for over three years"
Rob G., GU (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"bottom of touch screen became dead. It is a known problem across different Cadillacs, but expensive to fix at the dealership."
Anonymous, ON (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"Problem occurred once while under warranty but then occurred again. Don't know why the display screen had problems."
Kathy L., LA (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"The Que screen cracked and it does not react to touch. Sometimes it makes changes on it,s own."
Thomas T., FL (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"The CUE display froze on me the came back on but I still am unable to use all the features. I am able to change the radio from the steering wheel but not the display. Also, I am unable to choose where to have my heat/ac come from. It will cost over $1,000 to fix and we do not have the spare money. We bought the Cadillac thinking we would have a vehicle that would last us a long time. Such a disappointment."
Susan H., ME (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"We have had continuous problems with the CUE. It does not react to touch as designed. (Try living in Florida and not have the ability to switch from heat to air in the summer!). We are on our 3rd CUE. One was replaced while under warranty. The other froze 13 months later and was not covered. We had to bite the bullet and replace - very costly"
Bridget B., FL (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"needed a new computer to resolve the problem"

Anonymous, (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"The CUE system froze itself in a mode. Touch screen did not work and only a very few changes could be made from the steering wheel and dash. Had to replace the entire CUE unit at a cost of $1200."

Anonymous, OR (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"Was told when I purchased car, that I would be able to receive and respond to texts via CUE AND the interface can be updated for future functions. Both were a lie. The can update the software, however, you do not receive the most up to date functions. The 2014 SRX has the ability to text via CUE, but they can't update the 2013 with this or any new ability."

Mike O., OR (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"The CUE system is very user unfriendly. It is difficult to learn, it is easy to make errors, especially when driving, like controlling the radio or the HVAC. I find the touch system they use is very confusing and is prone to introducing errors."

John D., TX (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"Since purchasing the SRX, the Cadillac dealer has been unable to identify or fix the intermittent failures of the Rear Entertainment System. The faults include blue or blank screen. One screen working while the other is blank/blue. Loss of control of the rear system. The dealer gave up while the SRX was under warranty, refusing to replace the system with new parts, even though the system was clearly a lemon and had faulty parts installed."

Anonymous, WI (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"At times the voice control command from the steering wheel does not work. And have to use the actual phone to dial or the CUE phone system. Sometimes when looking for a radio channel with the steering wheel command, the Cue does not switch to the desired channel as you have to go slow and switch one by one by one to get to the desired station"
Anonymous, FL (2013 Cadillac SRX None 3.6-L V6)"Doesn't recognize many words that I say and confuses them"
