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.

ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING THE ACCELERATION IS SLOW TO PICK UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET CHECK THE CODE P0008 CAME UP. THAT'S WHEN YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE MODULE DETECTING A PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING BETWEEN THE CRANKSHAFT AND BANK 1 CRANKSHAFT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM EVEN AFTER PUTTING NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS IN. ONE HEADLIGHT HAS ALSO ACCUMULATED MOISTURE FROM THE WEATHER WHICH HAS CAUSED A YELLOW TINT WHICH ALSO DIMS THE LIGHTING. I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE TURNS WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. THE FACT THAT I PUT NEW BULBS IN AND STILL CAN'T SEE WHEN I'M DRIVING IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND I FEAR AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THIS FAULT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AUG 2018 I NOTICED MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE BARELY VISIBLE, LIKE I WAS DRIVING IN THE DARK WITH NO LIGHTS ON. I SWITCHED TO HIGH BEAMS AND COULD SEE VERY GOOD, BUT THEN SWITCHED BACK TO LOW BEAM AND IT WAS STILL THE SAME....VERY POOR LIGHTING. I HAD THE BULBS CHANGED OUT IN OCT 2018 FOR $200, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE RELAY SWITCH REPLACED, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD SITUATIONS WHERE OBJECTS OR PEOPLE WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT I DID NOT SEE THEM UNTIL THE LAST SECOND WHEN I WAS RIGHT THERE AT THEM BECAUSE OF THE POOR LIGHTING. I CANNOT CONTINUOUSLY DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON AT NIGHT JUST TO SEE WHERE I AM GOING. THIS IS A BAD SAFETY ISSUE ON ONE OF THE TOP OF THE LINE VEHICLES....LOW BEAMS COULD CAUSE ME TO WRECK, HITTING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE OF POOR LIGHTING AND HIGH BEAMS MAKES ME BLIND THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUSING THEM TO WRECK HITTING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. I AM TOLD THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACING BECAUSE OF THE POOR SEAL QUALITY LETTING MOISTURE IN CAUSING THE FAULTY LOW LIGHTING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM/ERROR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $1500 TO FIX THIS WHEN I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE IT. CADILLAC/GM NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RECALL THIS DEFECT THEY CREATED AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS ACCIDENTALLY HURT OR KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH MADE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DWAIN TAYLOR CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, 1307 S 12TH ST, MURRAY, KY 42071) AND THE LIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAKATA RECALL- MY DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE BAULLIST. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS THE LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. UPON RETURNING TO THE MECHANIC AND SOME INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THIS IS AN UNRESOLVED PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CADILLACS. THE MANUFACTURER IS AUTOMATICALLY WANTING THE CONSUMER TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY 1,300 DOLLARS. MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THAT LYING AROUND! IT BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE EXPENSE IS KEEPING OWNERS FROM IMMEDIATELY REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART CONSEQUENTLY CAUSING PEOPLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE PROPER LIGHTING. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION AS WELL AS SPEAK TO ANYONE REGARDING THIS. THIS IS AN UNFAIR PRACTICE FROM CADILLAC AND WILL ULTIMATELY COST THEM BUSINESS. IT COULD EVEN COST PEOPLE THEIR LIVES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE PURCHASED THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2018. A FEW DAYS LATER WE WERE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT. I TURNED ON THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND TOLD MY WIFE I COULD BARELY SEE ANY LIGHT. A FEW MOMENTS LATER I ALMOST DROVE INTO A DITCH. WE CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. DESPITE HAVING A REMAINING BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, WE WERE REQUIRED TO PAY $208.81 FOR REPLACEMENT BULBS, WHICH THEY SAID WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ARE BARELY BRIGHTER THAN THE ONES THEY REPLACED. THIS IS ASTONISHING THAT A LEADING US MANUFACTURER HAS ELECTED TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH ITS CUSTOMERS LIVES. CONSIDER THIS MESSAGE A SAFETY COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS MANUFACTURER AND A PROMISE TO JOIN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT IS NOW STARTING IN FLORIDA. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED THE $208.81 AND BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES REPLACED WITH REDESIGNED ONES. SIMPLY REPLACING SMALL BULBS AGAIN WILL NOT SUFFICE. CADILLAC AND GM NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. IF WE ARE INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THE VERY POOR OUTPUT OF THESE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS I WILL CHASE THE SOULS OF ALL THOSE AT CADILLAC AND GM BEYOND THE DEPTHS OF HELL FOREVER. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR EQUIPMENT SUCH AS THIS, AND NO EXCUSE FOR NOT REPAIRING IT PROPERLY.

VEHICLE'S LOW BEAMS ARE EXTREMELY DIM MAKING OPERATION DIFFICULT. ILLUMINATION AT THE 115 FT DISTANCE IS QUESTIONABLE. VEHICLE IS A HAZARD TO OPERATE FOR SELF & OTHERS AFTER DUSK AND BEFORE DAWN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT 32,650 MILES, WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH THE HEADLIGHTS AND HONK THE HORN FOUR TIMES IN SUCCESSION, THEN IT WOULD STOP. I SAW THIS HAPPEN FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES IN TWO DAYS WHILE IT WAS PARKED. AT THIS TIME, THERE WAS ALSO A CONSTANT TICKING SOUND IN THE REAR OF THE CAR AND THE LIFT GATE WOULD NOT OPEN. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CADILLAC SERVICE TODAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2018. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AND I WAS TOLD THE SUNROOF REAR DRAINAGE TUBES HAD LEAKED WATER ONTO THE LIFT GATE MOTOR CAUSING IT TO QUIT WORKING. THIS REPAIR WOULD COST ME A MINIMUM OF $1800 BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON NOVEMBER 4, 2018, (DUE TO THE DELIVERY DATE BEING BEYOND THREE YEARS). SINCE PURCHASING THIS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2015 CADILLAC SRX LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO, I'VE DEALT WITH HEADLIGHTS SO DIM I COULD NOT SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. AFTER FOUR VISITS TO CADILLAC SERVICE THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT A FIX. THERE WERE TRANSMISSION ISSUES: THE CAR WOULD HESITATE WHEN GIVING IT THE GAS FROM A STOPPED OR SLOWED POSITION TO THE POINT IT JERKED ME AND MY PASSENGERS BACK IN OUR SEATS. ONCE AGAIN, IT TOOK FOUR TRIES TO GET IT FIXED. AND, THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DIED AT 30,000 MILES.
