Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 SRX

The 2011 Cadillac SRX is a pretty tough car to maintain, and is only recommended for someone experienced in car maintenance. To access the headlight on one side, you will have to completely remove the air filter housing first. This will require many tools and is very problematic to complete. Reliable access for the tail lights can be tough, as you will have to remove a panel and a few screws for access. This would have been much easier if there were a designated panel in the rear of the vehicle for access. To check the power steering fluid level, you will have to remove the engine cover first. This will require the removal of a bolt, and is more complicated than it is on other models.

Some things are easier on the 2011 Cadillac SRX. Both the fuse boxes are easy to access on this vehicle. You only have to remove one cover to access either set of fuses, allowing you to troubleshoot electrical problems easily. While it will require a tough reach, checking the transmission fluid dipstick is relatively easy on this car. Not every model includes this dipstick. Checking the oil level is also easy to do, as the oil dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay.
