EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Because of the poor design of the headlights on the Cadillac SRX, I was afraid to drive at night because the lights are too dim to see the road ahead. After being pulled over by a police officer for driving with my headlights on bright, I made the financial sacrifice to pay for replacement headlight units. I'm glad I did because it makes a world of difference and I may have saved my life.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My headlight assemblies would get condensation and cause the bulb to become dim or burn out. Had to replace bulbs several times but still difficult to see 20 ft in front of me when driving the dark roads in north west New Jersey. Was told it was a known issue and to drill holes in the back of the headlight, which I did not do since I didn't want to damage the assemblies. The cost to replace both assemblies would have cost me at least $2000.00 or more which I did not have. I replaced the assemblies with aftermarket ones and had them installed by my mechanic. I than received the letter from Cadillac that they would reimburse us. I filled the paperwork and sent all the documentation. Never hear back for months so I followed up and was told I was missing the vin # on the receipts. I resubmitted the documents with the vin # and again waited. Made 2 more calls one said it was bring processed and should get a check in 90 days the second told me it was still being processed. Waited again for my check and still nothing 2 more phone calls and the second one has now said it was declined. When I ask to speak to a supervisor I was told there was no one there. I asked for a phone # to call someone and again was told there was no # to be given. I kept trying to speak to someone and finally the women told me she was done with our phone call and hung up on me. I don't know what or who to speak with to get this resolved. I am out $1000.00 for a know safety issue. If I hadn't replaced my headlight assemblies I would not be able to drive my car at night. Please contact me and assist in any way possible. Thank you for your time and consideration in helping me

SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
a few months ago I started noticing a loud noise coming from the rear of my vehicle. Then my Service Traction Control light, Service Stabilitrak light, Service Rear Axle light, the Stabilitrak malfunction indicator lamp all come on my display screen. I took my tires to have them rotated and the rear tires were unevenly worn I was told. The other thing that is happening is that my steering wheel does not stay going straight, it veers off to the right.

While driving during the last month, the CUE system that controls the heating/cooling controls (among other options) turned itself off. Hence, the air conditioning shut off. This may not seem to be a safety issue, but we were driving back from Topsail Island, NC, to our home in Winchester, VA and it was 97 degrees outside. After several tries, we were able to get it going again, but it continues to shut itself off unpredictably. I am 70 years old and my husband is 75. We also have a dog who can't tolerate heat. This could be a life-threatening issue for us. We are in the process of getting this replaced, for about $800! My research on the web and info from the dealer indicates that this is a widespread issue. It is deserving of a recall.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Since 2019, my headlights began to dim and have gradually worsened. Now they are defective and ineffective. I have had close close calls when trying to drive at night. It is almost impossible to drive at night without high beams. I have been pulled over twice and given warnings about my headlights. It is very hard to navigate driving especially when other drivers can barely see my car. I have driven over curbs, crossed lane lines, and have been unable to see turning lanes. Other cars have have had issues seeing my car due to the low lights and this has led to some other very close calls. The situation is very unsafe and risky. The malfunctioning of the lights have pretty much rendered my car useless after dark or in rainy weather. I have spoken to numerous individuals at both the local dealership and GM to no avail. I have been told so many different stories and given differing plans of actions. The dealership people told me to wait on a letter from GM/Cadillac. After weeks, ai contacted GM/Cadillac who also told me to wait on a letter. After another few weeks and still without a letter, I contacted GM/Cadillac again and that's when the real "runaround" began. Two years later, my headlights are even worse and I don't really drive my car that much out of fear. I continue to contact GM/Cadillac at least once or twice a month to no avail. My car was inspected by a dealership who confirmed that I indeed have headlight/headlamp issues due to a GM problem with the production of the headligh/headlamp assembly which collects moisture. They also confirmed that GM should have sent me a reimbursement letter. My car is available for anyone who needs to inspect it. I just don't understand how a company such as GM who claims to be of excellence and such quality will not repair and take responsibility for it's mistakes and production errors.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My Cadillac has had and currently has a cracked spider web screen where you control the vehicles settings, GPS, Temperature for the car and so forth. Due to this I have lost any control to these settings since the cracked screen has caused the touchscreen to not even work and there is no response when you tap the screen. Have reached out to Cadillac and they say it’s not their problem but the screen was not cracked in any kind of accident it was cracked due to the way Cadillac built the screen and the type of materials used to build the screen. Multiple people have had the same issue and Cadillac refuses to recall the touchscreen on these vehicles.
