EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS NO LONGER WORK, MAKING VISIBILITY POOR WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, SO LOW IT MAKES SEEING ANYTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THEY WERE WORKING AND ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MY OFFICE I NOTICED THEY WERE NO LONGER WORKING, IT WAS DARK IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I CHECKED THE LIGHTS, THEY WERE ON, HOWEVER, THE LOW BEAMS WERE NO LONGER OPERATING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAMS ON MY SUV WENT COMPLETELY OUT AS I WAS DRIVING EARLY ONE MORNING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD! I NOTICED THAT IT WAS UNUSUALLY DARK AND THOUGHT THAT A STREET LIGHT WAS OUT, BUT I SOON DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS MY HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE NOT WORKING. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT OR BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP BECAUSE I HAVE NO LIGHTS. I CAN ONLY USE THE HIGH BEAMS. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR WHEN IT'S DARK. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THE GM SHOULD DO A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT AT COST TO THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THEY ARE TOTALLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SEALANT AND IT'S ALLOWING MOISTURE TO GET INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I NOTICED THAT ONLY MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. AFTER INVESTIGATING I LEARNED THAT THERE HAS BEEN 2 CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED AND WON AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER IN FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA. THIS IS DUE TO CONDENSATION CAUSING THE LOW BEAM LIGHT TO FAIL. I TOOK THE HEADLIGHTS OUT AND PUT THE BULB FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT WORKS. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPLAINTS FROM THE LAWSUITS. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL IN RAINY CONDITIONS. THAT IS THE WORST TIME FOR HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL. THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEAD LIGHTS ARE DIM AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING YOU CAN'T SEE VERY FAR AHEAD WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. YOU HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAM TO BE ABLE TO SEE. WE HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS AND IT'S NOT ANY DIFFERENT. IT'S SCARY DRIVING AT NIGHT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I'M SURPRISED THERE AREN'T MORE ACCIDENTS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

THE OEM HEADLIGHTS ARE A DRIVING HAZARD, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. THERE ARE SEVERAL POSTS ON-LINE, DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SEALS OF THE HEADLIGHTS ALLOW MOISTURE INTO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. THIS CAUSES BULBS, HARNESSES, AND DIODES TO BURN UP. I DESCRIBED THE INCIDENT TO CADILLAC, THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE A RESPONSIBLE RESPONSE.

GENERAL MOTORS HAVE AGREED THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ISSUES OF MOISTURE ACCUMULATING IN THEIR HEADLIGHT CAPSULES ON 2010-2015 SRX'S. GM HAS AGREED ONLY TO REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS IN CA AND FL DUE TO SUITS BROUGHT AGAINST THEM BY THESE 2 STATES. I CALLED GM AND WAS ADVISED MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE REIMBURSEMENT LIST BECAUSE IT WAS MADE IN CA OR FL. I HAVE PAID A TOTAL OF $2030.22 TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHTS REPAIRED FROM MOISTURE. THE FIRST ONE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SO ONLY HAD TO PAY $473.22 ON 10/07/15. THE SECOND ONE WAS REPLACE 8/4/2017 FOR $1,557.00. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY SUNROOF HAS HAD LEAKY DRAINS ON BOTH SIDES AND CAUSED OVER $3,000 IN REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THE 2012 WAS RECALLED BUT NOT THE 2011. IT STOPPED MY CAR FROM DRIVING APPROPRIATELY, THE TRUNK WOULD NO LONGER OPEN, AND THE CAR ALARM TO ALERT FOR ROBBERY OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE MY PUMPS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE COMPUTER / ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS REPAIR COST CLOSE TO $2,000. THEN ABOUT 14 MONTHS LATER; THE PASSENGER SIDE SUNROOF LEAK OCCURRED AND CAUSED FLOODING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. THIS LED TO MOLD AND A CLEAN OF THE CAR TO ALLOW ME TO BREATH IN MY CAR. THIS REPAIR COST OVER $1,000.
