EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Low beam headlights have become so dim as to be unusable, exascerbated when the auto-dimming goes unexpectedly from high to low beam. It’s as if someone just turned the car’s lights off, so options are to 1) drive on constant high beam, blinding other drivers; 2) drive on low beam, blinding me; 3) not drive at all at night. Thanks, Cadillac!! It’s unbelievable to me that a safety recall has not been mandated to force GM to confront this problem for ALL owners.

Low beam headlights became really dim making it hard to drive after dark. Headlights show water intrusion (water droplets, fogging) at times. Replacing the headlight bulbs with brighter LED bulbs did not improve the visibility. Necessity to use high beam often is a risk to opposing traffic.

The low beam headlights are so dim it is almost impossible to drive at night. While turning into my driveway at night, my neighbor who was walking her dog stepped into my driveway to get out of the way of oncoming traffic not realizing who was driving down street, I did not see her until the last second. I have spoken with dealer twice and they told me to call GM Divisional Headquarters which I called. I was told to have vehicle inspected by dealer; inspection fee is $135. If headlights are found defective dealer would replace for approx. $1800. I could then submit paperwork to GM Headquarters, and they would consider a reimbursement.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Unable to see safely driving at night especially during rainy or snowy driving. Headlamps are so dim my automatic high beams go on constantly even when opposing traffic are coming towards me. I purchased the Cadillac used 2021. I called the Cadillac dealer they stayed Cadillac used to reimburse owners prior to last year. I cannot afford $3400 for replacing the headlamps! This is putting my family and opposing traffic at high risk for an accident.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Low beams are so dim as to be dangerous, not only for passengers, but also for people, animals and property outside the vehicle. Visibility is so incredibly poor as to not illuminate a pedestrian in a crosswalk early enough to facilitate a safe stop. Nothing in writing from the dealer, but agent aware of the problem with no fix. The problem is constant, not intermittent. Became most apparent approximate 37000 miles, while driving a winding road, returning from Soboba casino at night. Vehicle has a little over 40000 miles now. No warning lamps, messages. There are enough online complaints to wonder why GM has not recalled for repair. Is GM awaiting for a certain injury or death toll?

My headlights are so dim, they look as though they are not even on! I cannot drive at night anymore. I was informed that there was a recall in 2019 for this issue, however I never saw one.This should indeed be a safety issue, because these headlights don’t light up sh*t. GM should be ashamed of themselves!

These headlights have turn so dim its dangerous to drive at night. Its the lens inside that s deteriorating and nothing to do with the bulb. The dealer wants around 1500 to replace. This is a common problem with this vehicle. Cadillac offered only 50% of the repair but when i took it back to the dealer for service I got the run around again even though I had a reference number. Many people will not spend this large amount and it should be recalled. At night I must use the high beams to be safe but that annoys and is not safe to other drivers.
