AIR BAGS
ON 03-01-2019 I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON DIXIELAND ROAD IN ROGERS, ARKANSAS. AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION OF PERSIMMON ST. I SAW THAT I WAS ABOUT TO RUN A RED LIGHT. I HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND SWERVED LEFT TO TRY AND AVOID HITTING AN SUV. I WAS UNABLE TO AVOID THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE 2011 CADILLAC SRX I WAS DRIVING HIT THE SUV. I WAS THROWN INTO THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD AND NONE OF THE TAKATA INFLATOR EQUIPPED AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEAD LIGHTS WHEN ON SEEM TO GO DIM. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. MOVING OR STANDING STILL, THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT ADEGUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU. HIGH BEAMS ARE FINE, IN MY CASE IT IS THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT. SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE LEFT ONE OR BOTH ARE DIM. CADILLAC WANTS TO CHARGE $1,500 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS POORLY ENGINEERED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WITH NOT ONLY THE LINES IN THE ROAD, BUT ANYTHING IN THE ROAD! THIS IS THE MOST UNSAFE VEHICLE I'VE EVER DRIVEN. WHEN I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHTS TO NAVIGATE MY WAY, OBVIOUSLY THOSE VEHICLES WHO PASS ME...AS WERE AS THOSE IN FRONT OF ME ( LESS THAN 200 FEET) GET ANGRY. THEY DONT REALIZE THAT IT'S MORE DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS OFF! I HAD OTHER PEOPLE TRY DRIVING IT AS WELL BOTH IN TOWN, AND RURAL ROADS AND THE CLOSEST HIGHWAY....AND EVERY PERSON HAD THE EXACT SAME RESULTS. A BEAUTIFUL CAR WITH LEMON HEADLIGHTS! I'VE HAD THIS CAR 3 WEEKS AND AM LIVID THAT NOBODY AT THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR! I HAD GONE THROUGH CONSUMER REPORTS, BLUE BOOK VALUES ET ....I THOUGHT THAT I HAD ADEQUATELY DONE MY RESEARCH! THEN... I GOOGLED 2015 CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS ! THE INFORMATION WAS ALL THERE...HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. CLASS ACTION SUITS AND A RECALL ON THEM IN CALIFORNIA! SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED DUE TO THESE LIGHTS.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WE HAVE NOTICED THE HEAD LIGHTS LOOKED DIM. OVER SOME TIME THEY HAVE BECOME VERY DIM. I TALKED WITH THE CADILLAC DEALER ON APRIL 19,2019 AND WAS ADVISED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SRX MODELS BECAUSE OF MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE AREA CAUSING THE LAMP TO FAIL. I WAS ADVISED THAT TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT IS VERY EXPENSIVE HOWEVER NOT A GUARANTEE SINCE THE MOISTURE INTRUSION ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2014 (USED) FROM THE DEALER WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT SERVICED AT THE DEALER. AS PART OF THE SERVICE MOST OF THE TIMES A GM MULTI POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION (GM MPVI)WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE WITH THE LATEST ONE DONE ON JANUARY 14,2019. LOOKING BACK AT THE INSPECTION REPORTS NEVER HAS THERE BEEN ANY INDICATION OF THE AN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHTING. ALSO I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR BEEN ADVISED OF A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS BY THE DEALER OR GM. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A LAW SUIT IN CALIFORNIA RELATIVE TO THIS ISSUE HOWEVER A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS DISMISSED. TO ME THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. HOW BEST SHOULD THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED?

2013 CADILLAC SRX LOW BEAMS ARE VERY DIM DUE TO MOISTURE IN THE PROJECTOR BOWLS. I REPLACED THE FACTORY HALOGEN BULBS WITH AFTERMARKET HID BULBS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I AM FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS DURING RAIN AND IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS SINCE YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AND DRIVING IS VERY DANGEROUS. CADILLAC DEALER SAID THAT BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1500.

BY FEBRUARY 2017 WE NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND MALFUNCTION, LEAVING US IN FEAR THEY WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHICH CAUSED THE SUV TO STAY PARKED AT NIGHT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. ONE NIGHT , COMING BACK FROM AIRPORT WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SAW THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD COMPLETELY FAILED, WE HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE LAMPS IN "BRIGHT" MODE.THE OUTSIDE INSPECTION INDICATED -EXTERIOR HEADLIGHT HOUSING UNITS WEAR OUT AND DETERIORATED, CAUSES HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS THAT INCLUDE FAILURE OF THE BULBS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE IGNITERS, IN ADDITION TO ELECTRICAL SHORTS THAT OCCUR DIM LIGHT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT HAVING MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON.

THE LOW LEVEL HEADLIGHTS IN THIS SRX HAVE BEEN DIM, TO THE POINT OF BEING NO BRIGHTER THAN THE PARKING LIGHTS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO, AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. WE RECENTLY REFINANCED IT IN MY NAME. WE CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. THE ISSUE IS DUE TO WATER AND MOISTURE BUILDUP IN THE HEADLIGHT. THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS EXPENSIVE AND NOT ONE THAT IS EASILY COVERED.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT CONTAINS MOISTURE WHICH SHORTS OUT THE BALLAST AND IGNITOR AND BLOWS THE HID HEADLIGHT. THERE IS NOT A PROPER SEAL ON HEADLIGHT AND CADILLAC KNOWS THIS.THEY HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN FLORIDA, CALIFORNIA! IN WISCONSIN THE SAME ISSUE WITH MOISTURE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH SIDES 7 TIMES. THE CAR DEALER REFUSED TO FIX. THE CADILLAC DEALER ALSO WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EITHER. AT ANY MOMENT THEY JUST STOP WORKING WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAN'T SEE YOU. A SAFETY ISSUE. LET ALONE RAIN, FOG AND SNOW DRIVING ARE ISSUES IF THEY JUST CAN GO OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE FAULTY.

BOUGHT THE 2011 SRX IN 2018. IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED BECAUSE OF MOISTURE INTRUSION. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAS APPEARED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT. VISIBILITY AT NIGHT IS BADLY COMPROMISED. REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY.
