TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PROJECTOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNSET CADILLAC OF VENICE (LOCATED AT 2367 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, VENICE, FL 34293, (941) 584-8540) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE CLOUDING OF THE LENS, WHICH REDUCED THE ILLUMINATION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4929540255. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,837.

THE PROBLEM STARTED A YEAR AGO WITH THE LIGHTS BECOMING SEVERELY DIM AND UNSAFE AT NIGHT. IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS THE VEU SYSTEM HAS TAKEN A MIND OF ITS OWN AND USUALLY DOES NOT WORK FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE. NOW THE CAR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IT'S LIKE IT'S SHORTED OUT THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WORST CAR EVER!!! I WILL NEVER BUY A CADILLAC EVER AGAIN.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE HORRIBLE, I HAVE A VERY HARD TIME SEEING AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LACK OF LIGHT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. I AVOID DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT DUE TO THE DIFFICULTY IN SEEING DUE TO THE LIGHTS. I CAN SEE FINE WITH MY OTHER CAR. SOMETIMES I AM FORCED TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHEN I SHOULD USE MY LOW BEAMS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. IT IS SUCH A HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A CADILLAC. I HAVE NOT HAD AN INJURY OR DAMAGE YET.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM WHEN ON LOW BEAM, IT IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. DUE TO THE LIGHTS BEING SO DIM YOU CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT UNLESS THE LIGHTS ARE ON HIGH BEAM WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I ALMOST HIT A DEER DUE TO THE LIGHTS BEING DIM. IT IS ALMOST LIKE NO LIGHTS ARE ON AT ALL.

THE CADILLAC CUE SYSTEM IS THE MAIN TOUCH SCREEN IN THE VEHICLE. I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEAD SPOT ON THE SCREEN. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED ISSUING A RECALL. I HAVE HEARD WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT CADILLAC IS ACTUALLY SUING THE COMPANY THAT PRODUCES THE CUE PRODUCT. FRANKEL CADILLAC IN COCKEYSVILLE, MARYLAND HAS HAD TO REPLACE A COUPLE OF THESE WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I ALSO WAS ADVISED THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE FOR QUITE SOMETIME. I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO ON A WAITING LIST FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO EVEN GET ONE SINCE THEY APPEARED TO BE HIGH IN DEMAND BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD REACH OUT FOR ASSISTANCE THROUGH YOUR COMPANY. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH PAYING FOR WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT TO HAVE THE MAIN CONTROL SYSTEM GO DOWN WITHIN 4 YEARS AND LESS THAN 40K MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE THAT I SHOULD BE OUT OF POCKET $817.00 TO REPAIR THIS.

WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP CADILLAC KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT THERE IS NO FIX. ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE CUE SYSTEM LOCKING UP.

JULY 4, 2018 I HIT THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT BOTHERED ME BECAUSE I WAS ALERT PAYING ATTENTION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME. IT BOTHERED ME THAT I HIT THE CAR AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY? NOW I KNOW, I COULD NOT SEE THE CAR BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. MY CAR INSURANCE WENT UP BECAUSE IT COST CLOSE TO $4,000 TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE FOR CADILLAC TO RECALL THE HEADLIGHTS ON THESE VEHICLES. THEY ARE UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I AM CONSIDERING THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY NOT THAT I KNOW THE LIGHTS WERE THE ISSUE AND NOT ME. I WAS NOT SPEEDING IN THE ACCIDENT AND THE CAR IS FRONT OF ME WAS JUST GOING SLOW, NOT IN A STOPPED POSITION. MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH THAT I COULD JUDGE THE DISTANCE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

JULY 4, 2018 I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WHERE I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE AROUND 9:45PM. IT BOTHERED ME THAT I DID NOT SEE THE CAR UNTIL I WAS RIGHT ON HER. ALL OF A SUDDEN I SAW HER CAR AND SHE WAS MOVING NOT STANDING STILL. IT DAWNED ON ME THAT I COULD NOT SEE HER CAR OR JUDGE THE DISTANCE FROM HER BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF ME. I CAUSED MY INSURANCE RATES TO GO UP. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT SINCE THE LATE 1970S. I AM A GOOD DRIVER AND WAS NOT DISTRACTED IN ANY WAY. OVER $3,000 WORTH DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY CAR AND I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH TO THE VEHICLE I HIT. CADILLAC NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO WAY BRIDGE AND BOTH CARS WERE IN MOTION.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE LOW BEAMS IN AT ALL. AFTER A BULB CHANGE TO THE BRIGHTS BEST SYLVANIA RECOMMENED THEY ARE NOT ANY BETTER AT ALL. IF WE DRIVE AT NIGHT WE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE OUR HIGH BEAMS ON SO WE DRIVE VERY LITTLE AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE HEADLIGHTS

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING AT NIGHT. I ALMOST HIT A DIVIDER ON AN EXIT RAMP AT NIGHT BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE LINES ON THE ROAD. I HAD THEM ADJUSTED BY A CERTIFIED CADILLAC MECHANIC BUT IT DID NOT HELP. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON IN ORDER TO SEE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ALSO TRAFFIC THAT I AM MEETING ON THE HIGHWAY. I SEE WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER TIME BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. WITH THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINT IT SEEMS CADILLAC WOULD CARE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER.

THE CUE STOP WORKING. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS KIND OF VEHICLE. ALL THE OWNERS WHO HAVE THE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR PLACE ANOTHER KIND OF SYSTEM IN THE CAR. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS ISSUE IT COMES UP RIGHT AWAY. NO ONE HAS $1200 TO KEEP GETTING THIS FIXED. MY TRUCK IS IN A/C MODE AND I CANNOT CHANGE IT.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE LACK OF LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO ME, MY PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS. DEALERSHIP HAS NO ANSWERS AND AGREES THAT THIS DEFECT IS A MAJOR HAZARD. SERVICE ADVISOR AGREED THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE TO REPAIR THE LOW BEAMS AND DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MADE.

DANGER OF DRIVING WITH DIM HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE TO USE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS IN ORDER SEE AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS IT DID NOT WORK. I STILL CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WITH THE DIM LIGHTS. VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY SCARY. I TOOK IT IN TO THE CERTIFIED GM/CADILLAC SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE IT OR $1700 AND NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. MY CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFAULT THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESULTS.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS CONTINUE TO GROW DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THERE IS A SLIGHT REGENERATION WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. RESTART THE VEHICLE THEN THE HEADLIGHTS APPEAR TO CONTINUE TO DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS A NATIONAL SAFETY ISSUE. SEVERAL LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED IN CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, ILLINOIS.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS AT NIGHT YOU CAN NOT SEE 20 FEET IN FRONT OFF THE CAR. I ASK REP. AT CADILLAC ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME IF I HAD BOUGHT THE PREMIER MODEL IT WOULD HAVE MUCH BETTER HEADLIGHTS. I KNOW THAT THE CHEAPEST CAR ON THE MARKET HAS BETTER HEADLIGHTS THAN THE CADILLAC SRX. WHEN YOU PURCHASE A CAR FOR 45,000 DOLLARS AND ARE TOLD YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE 50,000 DOLLAR CAR TO GET GOOD HEADLIGHTS THAT`S INSULTING TO ME. TEXAS STATE INSPECTION IN THE PASSED TESTED HEADLIGHT LUMENS AND AIM I`LL BET THEY WOULD NOT PASS MINIMUM STANDARDS IF THE STATE STILL REQUIRED THAT TEST FOR STATE INSPECTION. NIGHT TIME DRIVING IN THE SRX IS DANGEROUS. THE NEXT FIELD REQUIRES A DATE THAT THIS HAPPENED 'ALWAYS' IS THE ANSWER BUT I WILL ENTER TODAY`S DATE SO THAT I CAN COMPLETE THIS FORM THAT PROBABLY WON`T BE READ.
