EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAR ARE VERY DIM. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING AT NIGHT WITHOUT THE BRIGHTS. THE BRIGHTS DO OPERATE NORMALLY. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS TO HALOGEN TYPE AT MY OWN EXPENSE BUT IT DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE LEFT LIGHT SEEMS DIMMER THAN THE RIGHT ONE BUT BOTH ARE VERY DIM. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC DEALER AND THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AT GREAT COST OVER $2000 WITH THE SAME ASSEMBLIES THAT HAVE FAILED. READING PROBLEM DESCRIPTIONS ONLINE I FIND THAT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY SEALS ARE BAD AND WATER ENTERS THE "SEALED" ASSEMBLY THEREBY CAUSING CONDENSATION THAT DIMS THE LIGHTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CADILLAC SRX ARE VERY DIM. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN THE DARK WITHOUT USING THE BRIGHTS. A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT HAS BEEN HANDLED IN CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA BUT NOTHING DONE ANYWHERE ELSE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CADILLAC BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND IN THE PLANNING PROCESS FOR THE REMEDY. PER MY RESEARCH, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ALLOWING MOISTURE TO GET INSIDE WHICH IS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LIGHTS AND WIRING. THE LIGHTS ARE NOT OUT BUT JUST GO DIM. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IF REPLACING THE BULB WOULD HELP AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENTIRE UNIT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS POINT, MY LIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT IT IS BECOMING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN THE DARK IN UNLIT AREAS. I WAS HOPING THAT CADILLAC WOULD SHOW RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IT APPEARS THEY ARE WAITING ON YOUR DEPARTMENT TO ISSUE A RECALL. PER THE DEALERSHIP, THIS ISSUE COULD COST BETWEEN $1800-$3000 TO FIX AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS AND IN NO WAY THINK THAT ONE COMPLAINT MERITS A RECALL BUT IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT, OR THE GOVERNING AGENCY, WILL LOOK INTO THIS ONGOING ISSUE. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN PROVIDE ANY MORE INFORMATION. I WOULD LIKE TO BE HELPFUL IN HOPES OF GETTING THIS ISSUE FIXED WITHOUT SPENDING THOUSANDS OF MY OWN MONEY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHT MOISTURE IS CAUSING VERY POOR VISIBILITY. IN MARCH OF 2019, I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND THAT IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED, I COULD BY PAYING OUT OF MY POCKET AND THEN WOULD BE REIMBURSED. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FOR 2011 - 2015 MODELS. MY VEHICLE IS 2015. AT THE TIME THAT I RECEIVED THE LETTER, THERE WAS NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF A PROBLEM, CHECKED BY MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND WHO IS VERY GOOD WITH CARS. NOW, LESS THAN 1 YEAR LATER, I CAN'T EVEN TELL WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. IF I AM NOT DRIVING ON A ROAD THAT HAS STREET LIGHTS, I CANNOT SEE. IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. GIVEN THAT I MAINLY TRAVEL ON ROADS THAT HAVE STREET LIGHTS, I WAS UNAWARE OF THE DETERIORATED SITUATION UNTIL VERY RECENTLY. I CONTACTED CADILLAC WHO OFFERED ME NO SOLUTION ASIDE FROM TAKING IT IN TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AT A COST TO ME. THEN I AM SUPPOSED TO CALL THEM BACK SO THAT THEY CAN SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO, NO PROMISES OF ANY TYPE OF MONETARY REIMBURSEMENT. SO BASICALLY, I GOT NOWHERE WITH CADILLAC WHO SEEMS TO BE MORE CONCERNED WITH THEIR BOTTOM LINE THAN SAFETY. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. THINK OF IT THIS WAY, 2011 OWNERS HAD A LONG ENOUGH TIME TO SEE THAT THE HEADLIGHTS/COVERS WOULD EVENTUALLY GET MOISTURE IN THEM CAUSING THE PROBLEM, BUT 2015 OWNERS HAD A MUCH SHORTER WINDOW OF TIME. THE COST TO REPLACE THEM IS ABOUT $1500, WHICH I DIDN'T SPEND GIVEN THAT WHEN I RECEIVED THE LETTER, THERE WAS NO ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT OCCURS GRADUALLY OVER TIME AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY WAY OF A RECALL SO THAT CADILLAC HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND BACK THEIR PRODUCT BY MAKING THE SITUATION RIGHT. TAKING THE SAFETY OF CADILLAC OWNERS AS A SERIOUS MATTER AS OPPOSED TO TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BY NOT DOING A VOLUNTARY RECALL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2015 SRX HEADLIGHT ISSUE IN JANUARY 2020, WE NOTICED THAT THE LOW BEAMS ON OUR VEHICLE NO LONGER CAST SUFFICIENT LIGHT TO BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THE BEAMS ARE SO DIM THERE IS NO DISCERNIBLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LIGHTS BEING ON, OR OFF WHEN ON THE LOW BEAM SETTING. THE HIGH BEAMS APPEARED TO BE UNAFFECTED. I BEGAN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON LINE AND LEARNED THAT THE 2010 TO 2016 SRX MODELS ALL HAD THIS DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING DEFECT. ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE REPORTS AND EXPLANATIONS, INCLUDING INFORMATION DERIVED FROM CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES, WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SEALED, WERE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE INSIDE THE SEALED ASSEMBLY, CAUSING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS THAT RESULT IN LOW BEAM FAILURE. IT APPEARS THAT ADDITIONAL CLASS ACTION SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY DETAILS ON THOSE ADDITIONAL SUITS. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN, RECURRING, SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, NHTSA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, PUBLISH ITS FINDINGS AND TAKE WHATEVER ACTION IS APPROPRIATE TO COERCE GM TO FIX THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING ISSUES WITH THESE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES, AND REPLACE THEM ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES THROUGH A NATIONWIDE RECALL AT NO EXPENSE TO OWNERS OF ITS SRX VEHICLES. SEE ATTACHED, MORE COIMPLETE DESCRIPTION.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY DIM TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT SAFELY AND CANNOT DRIVE AT ALL DURING RAIN AT NIGHT. CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER AND TOLD THE COST WOULD BE AT LEAST $1300 BECAUSE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE REPLACING BULB ONLY WILL NOT REPAIR PROBLEM.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE EXTREMELY DIM, WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WHERE THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS, IT IS AS IF I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS ON AT ALL. I DRIVE RIVER ROAD HOME NIGHTLY AND I HAVE NEARLY MISSED MY TURN ONTO THE STREET AND INTO A DITCH BECAUSE IT IS SO DARK. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THIS AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I WENT AND HAD NEW LIGHTS PUT IN WITH LITTLE TO NO IMPROVEMENT. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CADILLAC SRX 2010-2015. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO CADILLAC AND THEY SAID IT WAS $2,100 TO FIX IT. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON WITH MY NEW HEADLIGHTS IN THERE. CADILLAC SHOULD BE REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS BLINDING AND I CANNOT SEE THE LINES. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO TURN ON MY BRIGHTS WHICH IS UNSAFE FOR THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC

ENGINE
WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN MY CAR SPUTTERED THEN SHUT OFF,I DIDN'T HAVE A CODE OR WARNING ON THE DASH I HAD 30 PERCENT OIL LEFT AND 2000 MILES BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE. HAD IT TOWED TO A CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THE ENGINE IS SEIZED, AFTER OPENING UP THE ENGINE THERE WAS SLUDGE. IT ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES AND I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK WHERE ALL OIL CHANGES WERE DONE ON TIME. EXTENDED WARRANTY CO. WON'T COVER SLUDGE. I HAD READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, GM NEED TO RECALL THESE ENGINES, THIS IS A $10,000 DEFECT. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR 10 MONTHS.

MY HEADLIGHTS GRADUALLY BECAME MORE DARKENED WHERE I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY WEREN'T WORKING PROPERLY. I EVENTUALLY STARTED RUNNING OFF THE ROAD ON CURVES. MY SON THOUGHT THEY WEREN'T EVEN TURNED ON WHEN HE DROVE IT. I DID RECEIVE A LETTER ABOUT MOISTURE CAUSING SOME PROBLEMS IN ILLUMINATION BUT THEY NEVER EXHIBITED MOISTURE THAT I COULD TELL. I FINALLY TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER SAID ALL THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL HAD FALLEN OFF. IT COST $1700 TO REPLACE WITH BASICALLY THE SAME CONFIGURATION OF HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE SENT IN MY LETTER WITH THE BILL BUT HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK SINCE SENDING IN LATE OCTOBER.

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON DIM, YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AT ALL. IT'S LIKE YOU ARE NOT DRIVING WITH ANY LIGHTS ON AT ALL. AFTER ONLY HAVING MY CAR 5 DAYS, I HAVE RUN OFF THE ROAD TWICE, HAD TWO PEOPLE PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SEE ME WITH LIGHTS ON DIM, AND ALMOST BEEN HIT ONCE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT MANY OWNERS ARE FACING. MY CHOICES TO DRIVE MY CAR AT TIME IS TO ONLY USE THE HIGH BEAMS WHICH BLINDS OTHER DRIVERS, RISK NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE, OR HAVE AFTERMARKET HEADLAMPS INSTALLED. CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB DID NOT WORK.
