VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FACTORY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR POSE A SAFETY RISK FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. YOU CAN BARELY SEE ANYTHING ON THE ROAD WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WORK PERFECT, BUT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS. I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT INTO PLACE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM ORIGINATING FROM THE FACTORY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND THE ILLUMINATION WAS TOO LOW WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO ACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,280. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

ENGINE
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN IT WOULD GO OFF, ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN. THE CODE WAS P000017. THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE FIXED. THIS CAUSED A RECALL IN THE 2004-2009 SRXS AND YET I SEE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING FOR THE 2010S AND NO RECALL. THERE ARE ONLY 113K MILES ON THIS CAR, THAT'S ABOUT 13K PER YEAR, MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. CADILLAC DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME $3800 WHEN WITHOUT THIS ISSUE, THE CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $4500. I TRULY THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AS IT SEEMS AROUND THIS MILEAGE, THIS ISSUE HAPPENS BASED ON RESEARCH THAT I DID.

MOISTURE HAS DEVELOPED IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, CORRODING THE REFLECTIVE ELEMENTS AND MAKING VISION AT NIGHT VERY DIM AND UNSAFE. THIS HAPPENS UNDER ANY CONDITIONS REQUIRING HEADLIGHTS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IF NOT MORE-SIMPLE GOOGLE UP CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. GM HAS REIMBURSED A FEW OWNERS AS A RESULT OF A LAWSUIT LIMITED TO A COUPLE OF STATES, BUT HAS NOT OWNED THE PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK MORE INTO THIS ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. UPON DIAGNOSIS, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WIRING OR THE BULBS BUT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2010 TO 2015 CADILLAC SRX'S. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE SEAL FAILS AND ALLOWS MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHT WHICH CAUSES A HAZE TO BUILD UP IN THE ENCLOSED LIGHT COVER WHICH IN TURN MAKES THE LIGHTS DIM. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN TELL THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ON ESPECIALLY ON A DARK STREET OR HIGHWAY. WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SPOKE WITH GMC/CADILLAC I FOUND THAT GMC/CADILLAC HAS A RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN TWO STATES ONLY-CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS MORE THAN LIKELY NATIONWIDE. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CADILLAC/GMC FOR THIS DEFECT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WARNING LIGHT FOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT DRIVER SIDE CAME ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR. UPON CHECKING THE HEADLIGHT I SAW THE HEADLIGHT WAS OUT AND THERE WAS WATER ACCUMULATED ON THE LENS COVER. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THAT BOTH LENSES HAD WATER ACCUMULATION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE BULB, BALLAST, AND FIRING MECHANISM IN ORDER TO GET THE HEADLIGHT TO WORK, BUT THE ERROR MESSAGE IS STILL ON DASH. WHEN I CALLED CADILLAC, THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING DESPITE THE CADILLAC SRX DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS CHESTER STEELE V. GENERAL MOTORS, LLC CASE NO.2:17-04323, IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA. THE CAR IS ALWAYS GARAGED AT NIGHT - FOGGING OCCURS EVEN IF IT HAS NOT BEEN RAINING.

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, NOTICED LOW BEAM VISIBILITY WAS VERY LOW. DEALER SAID "COMMON PROBLEM" NEEDED TO REPLACE ENTIRE LIGHTING UNIT ($800 EACH SIDE). NOW AFTER HAVING TIME TO RESEARCH, FINDING IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER SRX OWNERS. DID CHANGE BULBS, BUT THAT WAS NO HELP. CADILLAC NEEDS TO STEP FORWARD AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

THE NORMAL HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT DO NOT PROVIDE ANY HELP. WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS OR THE ASSEMBLY. EVERY BAD REVIEW SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. EVERY SAFETY RATING HAS BEEN LOWERED DUE TO HEADLIGHT ISSUE. SELLING CAR AND NOT BUYING ANY MORE CADILLAC'S IF CADILLAC ISNT GOING TO HELP REPAIR THEIR KNOWN ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. YOU SPEND UPPER 5 FIGURES FOR A CAR AND GET TOLD TOO BAD. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE NOT BIGHT ENOUGH. I CAN BARELY SEE THE ROAD. WE HAD IT CHECK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID YES THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE JUST LIKE THE ONES ON RECALL BUT OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT LISTED. I HAVE SPOKE TO GM BUT THEY SAY I NEED TO GO THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND GM THAT I CAN NOT SEE WELL ENOUGH AT NIGHT TO BE DRIVING. IT IS NOT MY EYES BECAUSE MY SISTER WHO HAS A 2013 BUICK ENCLAVE DROVE OUR CAR AND DID NOT THINK THE HEAD LIGHTS WERE EVEN ON. SHE COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. THEY WANT ME TO PAY $1500.00 TO GET THEM FIXED. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT I WAS LETTING MY INSURANCE KNOW SO IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT, I WANT THEM TO GO AFTER GM AND THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THERE ARE TIMES I HAVE TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET. I AM TRYING TO GET SOMETHING DONE TO THE LIGHTS SO THAT WON'T HAPPEN. MY LIFE AND MY HUSBAND'S LIFE IS IMPORTANT TO US, IT MAY NOT BE SO WITH GM OR THE DEALERSHIP.

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE AT NIGHT. NEED TO USE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. CAN'T SEE PERIPHERAL VISION. CAN ONLY SEE STRAIGHT AHEAD WITH MINIMAL DISTANCE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND I TRY TO AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT AT ALL COST. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BY CADILLAC IMMEDIATELY SO NO ONE GETS INJURED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NIGHT DRIVING IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE SO DIM THEY DO NOT GIVE SAFE VISION. SINCE WE HAVE HAD THE CAR,2014, WE ALWAYS FELT THE LIGHTS WERE TOO DIM. AT THE TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE REALLY WASN'T ANY REAL SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. IF THEY REPLACED THEM THE SAME THING WOULD OCCUR. I SHOULD HAVE HAD MY CONCERNS AUTHENTICATED IN WRITING, BUT DIDN'T. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO THEM THEY SAID THEY HAD NO RECALL ISSUES DUE TO THE LIGHTS. I ASKED THEM TO REOPEN THE FILE ON 12/26/19. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. THEY WILL CONTACT ME AGAIN ON 12/30/19. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME.THE POOR VISIBILITY IS A CONSTANT NO MATTER WHERE I DRIVE. IT IS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC, SINCE I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY HIGH BEAM AS NOT TO CREATE A PROBLEM FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE AVOIDED USING MY CAR AT NIGHT AS IT IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP OR INSIGHT YOU MAY HAVE.

LIGHTS ON 2015 CADILLAC SRX LUXURY TRIM ARE VERY DIM...ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE NO LIGHT IS SEEN AT NIGHT. HAVE BEEN LIKE THAT FOR OVER A YEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP TO CHECK FOR MOISTURE ISSUES AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS FINE. IT WAS JUST THE HEADLIGHTS...AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. DEALERSHIP WAS VERY INEFFECTIVE. LIGHT OUTPUT CONTINUED TO WORSEN TO WHERE THEY ARE NOW. I CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS. I CAN'T SEE LINES OR TURNING LANES WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTING. I HAVE ALSO DODGED ACCIDENTS A FEW TIMES DUE TO OTHER CARS NOT SEEING MY LIGHTS. AT NIGHT, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AS WELL. I HAVE EMAILED AND CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES TO NO AVAIL. AGAIN, WHEN DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS THAT DO NOT SHINE PROPERLY I CAN'T SEE TURNING LANES AND HONESTLY MY DEPTH OF VISION IS VERY LOW. THINGS, ANIMALS, HAVE HAPPENED ON MY CAR AT THE LAST MINUTE DUE TO LACK OF LIGHTING.

2013 CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO USE THEM FOR NIGHT DRIVING. NUMEROUS OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE NHTSA. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY HAVE NUMEROUS OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE IDENTICAL COMPLAINT. THIS AFFECTS MORE SIMILAR VEHICLES OTHER THAN 2013. CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS HAVE BEEN MADE AND ACTED UPON IN BOTH CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA. THIS ISSUE IS APPLICABLE IN ALL STATES AND SITUATIONS WHERE THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THE PRESCRIBED FIX IS A ONE-FOR-ONE REPLACEMENT WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A SIMILAR PROBLEM DOWN THE LINE. . IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE INTERNAL CIRCULAR LENS IN FRONT OF THE LAMP WHICH IS SO OPAQUE THAT LIGHT FROM THE LAMP DOES NOT GO THROUGH PROPERLY BUT IS DIMMED TO A POINT WHERE IT MAKES THE HEADLAMPS UNSAFE. UNSAFE IS THE KEY WORD....UNSAFE..UNSAFE..UNSAFE..WHENEVER THE HEADLAMPS ARE BEING DEPENDED ON FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING A WORK SCHEDULER AT THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE CORRECTION FOR THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE SOME PEOPLE TO DIE DUE TO THIS ISSUE BEFORE A PROBLEM RESOLUTION WOULD BE PUT IN PLACE....PRETTY SAD OPINION !!!

SERVICE ADVANCED FRONT LIGHTING THAT DEALS WITH ADAPTIVE FORWARD LIGHTING FOR CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS. NOW THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE THAT CADILLAC REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF . THERE HAVE BEEN CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS FILED ON THIS TOPIC AND CASES WON IN TWO STATES FLORIDA & CALIFORNIA WHERE GM HAD TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS AT THEIR EXPENSE. WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US IN THE 48 STATES THAT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AND CADILLAC SAYS YOU HAVE TO PAY $ 1,400 UPFRONT THEN APPEAL THE REPAIR AND THEY WILL SEE IF IT IS WARRANTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT. LOOK FOLKS AT NHTS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN A VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GO AFTER GENERAL MOTORS AND HAVE THEM FIX THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS JUST LIKE THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. DOESN'T NHTS CARE ABOUT PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND WITH UNSAFE HEADLIGHTS THAT DO NOT WORK PROPERLY?
