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

THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY SEAL IS VERY WEAK AND SHORTS OUT THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT. ITS $1500+ TO REPLACE AND IT APPEARS THAT GM IS JUST GOING TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR HAS TO STAY PARKED BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD TO FIX THIS HEADLIGHT.

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.

MY 2013 CADILLAC SRX DIM HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN NOTICEABLY DIMMER. AT FIRST I THOUGHT HAVING THE DIM HEADLIGHTS REPLACED WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT I AM HESITANT BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED US A PRICE WELL OVER $1,000 AND INFORMED US THAT IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM DUE TO A MOISTURE BARRIER DEFECT IN THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE WORK WOULD NOT BE GUARANTEED AFTER THAT I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT APPEARS THAT A LOT OF CADILLAC SRX OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ARE HAVING TO USE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CADILLAC SRX FLAWED HEADLIGHT DESIGN WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE FOR THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STOPPED. THIS IS EVERY NIGHT ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY WE HAPPEN TO BE ON AND IN ANY TOWN OR CITY WE HAVE TRAVELED TO.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, ILLUMINATE AT DANGEROUSLY LOW LEVELS. IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT MAKING VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. TO SEE AT NIGHT, I OFTEN HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

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

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM AND LOW. THEY DO NOT PROJECT HARDLY ANY LIGHT ON THE ROAD. APPARENTLY MANY MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND GM IS FAILING TO ADDRESS IT. THEY NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SEEN AT NIGHT!

BOUGHT VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO, HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN DIMMER TO THE POINT CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. BROUGHT CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT THE HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. SAFETY ISSUE. HIGH BEAMS ARE NECESSARY TO DRIVE AFTER DUSK.

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.

ADD ANOTHER CADILLAC SRX TO THE LIST, OUR 2015 SRX HAS VERY DIM LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS..... I HAVE BEEN TOLD AND LOOKED UP FOR MYSELF, THAT CADILLAC AND THE APP WARRANTY FOLKS WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLIES; WHICH APP SHOULD NOT HAVE TO STAND BEHIND A FACTORY FAULTY HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY.... HOW IN THE WORLD CAN SO MANY FOLKS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE EXTREMELY DIM LIGHTS AND NOTHING GETS DONE.... ON TOP OF THAT IF YOU PAY OUT OF YOUR POCKET TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLIES YOUR TOLD THAT THE NEW FIXTURES HAVE NOT CHANGED AND WILL LIKELY DO THE SAME THING IN SHORT ORDER.... IT IS SAD WHEN THE DEALERS EVEN SAY THAT THE FIXTURES ARE JUNK.... THIS IS NO WAY TO PROMOTE CADILLAC BY TELLING FOLKS TO GO POUND SAND INSTEAD OF FIXING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE REFLECTOR INSIDE THE FIXTURES..... IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS SO DIM.... I AM CONSIDERING PURCHASING AFTER MARKET FIXTURES AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.... SOME STANDARD CADILLAC HOLD THEM SELF TOO..... THESE FOLKS SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED.... SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLIES BEFORE FOLKS GET KILLED... A SIMPLE SEARCH WILL SHOW A LARGE NUMBER OF FOLKS THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE..... I HAVE TRIED THE LED LIGHTS BULBS, THE BRIGHTEST NORMAL BULBS AVAILABLE WITH STILL NO LUCK.... I GUESS AFTER MARKET FIXTURES ARE THE ONLY CHOICE.... THIS IS TERRIBLE, BECAUSE THE REST OF THE CAR IS A GREAT CAR.......

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE CHANGED, BUT WERE STILL INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WHARTON CADILLAC (1225 7TH ST, PARKERSBURG, WV 26102 (304) 485-7511) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY THING THAT COULD BE DONE WAS TO CHANGE THE BULB TO A BRIGHTER BULB. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

THIS IS A PROBLEM ON ALL SRX 2011 MODELS. WHEN RAINING, WATER DRAINS INTO THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT AND SHORTS THE MOTOR THAT OPENS THE LIFT GATE. THIS HAPPENS ON A BRAND NEW CAR, IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF POOR MAINTENANCE OR A REPAIR THAT IS NEEDED. SO, IF ONE GETS A FLAT TIRE, IN THE RAIN, ONE CANNOT ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE OR THE TIRE INFLATION KIT, BECAUSE THE LIFT GATE CANNOT BE OPENED TO ACCESS THEM. THE POWER MOTOR IS THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE LIFT GATE - IT CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY BY DESIGN. SO, ONE CAN BE STRANDED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WITH THE POTENTIAL OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. A STRANDED CAR, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, POTENTIALLY AT NIGHT WITH POOR LIGHTING OR ROAD CONDITIONS, AND OTHER VEHICLES MAY CRASH INTO THE CAR. I REALIZE ALL FLAT TIRE SITUATIONS HAVE THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE, THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION IS PROLONGED SIGNIFICANTLY, THEREBY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT WHICH GM DID NOT INTEND, AND THEY MUST FIX IT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, IF SOMEONE HASN'T DIED ALREADY. I AM A RECENT OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, AND THIS IS MY FIRST FLAT TIRE WITH IT, WHICH IS WHY I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW.

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.

MY CADILLAC SRX MODEL YEAR 2013 IS EQUIPPED WITH FAULTY HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE SO DIM I CAN NOT SEE THE LINES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ON BACK ROADS YOU CAN'T SEE NOTHINGS TO SEPARATE THE ROAD FROM THE LAND. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE JUST MISSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE A GREAT EXTENDED WARRANTY THRU 2022, BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER BECAUSE OF GM STANCE. WARRANTY SOLUTIONS GM HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH NOTIFICATION TO CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE CADILLAC OWNERS. THE COMPANY HAS ALSO ALLEGEDLY FAILED TO OFFER A FIX FOR THE DEFECT UNDER ITS OWN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY. A RECALL WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE. COMMON TO OTHER GM MODELS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 2 CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA. HELP! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2013 CADILLAC SRX, WHICH WE PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER, 2012, ARE PRACTICALLY UNUSABLE FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS EXTREMELY LOW EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BULBS WITH SYLVANIA ZXE BULBS AND THEN, AFTER THESE WERE INEFFECTIVE, LED REPLACEMENTS. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE UNLESS THE HIGH BEAMS ARE USED, WHICH THEN CAUSES ISSUES TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR OCCURRENCES READILY FINDABLE THROUGH INTERNET SEARCHES. IT APPEARS THAT GM SHOULD DETERMINE AND PROVIDE A LONG TERM SOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN A NOTICEABLE ISSUE WITH OUR VEHICLE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.
