ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND NOT VISIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I AM UNABLE TO SEE TO DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I WORK EVENING SHIFT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER.

DIM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY DIM TO THE POINT I CAN HARDLY SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. I DON'T HAVE THE MOISTURE THAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. I HAVE RESEARCHED MORE ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE DIMMING IS CAUSED BY THE HEAT OF THE HALOGEN BULBS DETERIORATING THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE HEAD LIGHT HOUSING. SPECIFICALLY THE HELLA PROJECTION CAPSULE USED FOR THE LOW BEAM. THIS DETERIORATION IS A SLOW PROCESS AND GOES UNNOTICED UNTIL FINALLY IT BECOMES TO OBVIOUS TO IGNORE. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. WHEN I TALKED THE MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER THEY PRETEND TO BE OBLIVIOUS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

WE PURCHASED A 2015 SRX CADILLAC MONDAY DEC 14 2020. WE HAD NOT DRIVEN IT AFTER DARK UNTIL WE PURCHASED. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM WE COULD BARELY SEE THE ROAD IN A WELL LIT HIGHWAY. WE WERE CONCERNED WE WOULD NOT MAKE IT HOME. THESE LIGHTS ARE A HAZARD AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM, I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. READING THROUGH THE INTERNET, IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS IN MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE. IT COSTS $2,000 TO FIX HEADLIGHTS, WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS, WHEN CADILLAC IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND SAFETY HAZARDS! MY LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY DIM AND LOOK AS THOUGH MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT EVEN ON AT NIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AT NIGHT, AND DUE TO COVID, WHO HAS $2,000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT ALL OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING AND THAT CADILLAC ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FOR OVER A YEAR(MAYBE EVEN CLOSE TO TWO YEARS), I HAVE BEEN CALLING IN TO CADILLAC, GM, AND MY LOCAL DEALER SHIP HEARD ALLEN CADILLAC IN ATHENS, GEORGIA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT FAULTY HEADLIGHTS/HEADLAMPS. THE LIGHTS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT I EITHER CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT OR HAVE TO KEEP ON MY HIGH BEAMS. VISIBILITY AND DEPTH WITH LOW BEAMS IS EXTREMELY POOR. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES WHEN OTHER CARS DIDN'T SEE ME UNTIL THE LAST SECOND AND TIMES I HAVE MISSED A ROAD/STREET BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THE ROAD LINES. INITIALLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT BECAUSE GM/CADILLAC HAD JUST STARTED A REIMBURSEMENT PLAN SPECIFICALLY FOR THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR A LETTER AND THEN COME BACK. AFTER WAITING A FEW WEEKS, I CALLED THE CADILLAC/GM NUMBER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR THE LETTER AS THEY WERE STILL PROCESSING. FAST FORWARD, I HAVE CALLED IN TOO MANY TIMES TO RECALL BEING TOLD VARIOUS THINGS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE REIMBURSEMENT PLAN, . WAS TOLD I MISSED THE TIME FOR MY REIMBURSEMENT. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT BECAUSE I WOULD BE I'M THE NEXT ROUND OF LETTERS. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO NEXT ROUND OF LETTERS. I WAS TOLD THAT OF I DIDN'T RECEIVE A LETTER, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN IF I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET A LETTER BUT NEVER GOT ONE, IT DIDN'T MATTER BECAUSE THE TIMEFRAME IS OVER. AGAIN...MORE CALLS. THEN AN ADVISOR LEFT A VOICEMAIL ABOUT BEING ABLE TO OFFER ASSISTANCE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT GM HAD OFFERED TO PAY CLOSE TO $800, BUT WHEN THEY PUT IN A CALL THE SERVICE WAS DENIED. AFTER SUBSEQUENT CALLS, I WAS GIVEN THE RUN-AROUND YET AGAIN. TWO WEEKS AGO, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE HEADLIGHTS/HEADLAMPS. THIS WHOLE THING HAS BEEN RIDICULOUS, AND I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM READING. AT WHAT POINT DOES THIS MATTER?

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE LOW OUTPUT AND THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS AMPLIFIED IN WET CONDITIONS. ON ROADS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS IT IS HARD TO SEE PAINTED LINES. ON COMING DRIVERS HAVE FLASHED THEIR HEADLIGHTS AT ME INDICATING THEY DO NOT THINK I HAVE MY LIGHTS ON PROPERLY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

RECENTLY NOTICED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, LOW BEAM LIGHTING IS VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT MAKING IT EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN DARKNESS. A LETTER DATED 2/28/20 REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE WAS RECEIVED BUT ONLY GAVE UNTIL 5/28/20 TO FILE A CLAIM. I HADN'T NOTICED ANY ISSUES AT THAT TIME AND, DUE TO COVID-19, WASN'T DRIVING ENOUGH, AND CERTAINLY AT NIGHT, TO NOTICE THIS ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY. SO, NOW THERE IS NO RECOURSE WITH GM. CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY AND GOT THE "TOUGH LUCK" MESSAGE BACK - "YOU MISSED THE DEADLINE". THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY RECALL, NOT A LEGAL CLAIM LIMITED TO A 90-DAY WINDOW DURING A LOCKDOWN. PATHETIC REFLECTION ON GM.

USING THE CAR FOR NIGHT DRIVING WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR ME IN MY RECENTLY PURCHASED, USED 2015 CADILLAC SRX AND AS I WAS COMING TO A RIGHT TURN LANE IN AN INTERSECTION WITH SIMILAR ONCOMING TRAFFIC PATTERN AND CARS FLASHING BRIGHTS, I DIMMED MY LIGHTS. I DID NOT SEE THE MAN RIDING A BICYCLE WITH HIS FLASHING BICYCLE LIGHTS, NOR HIS FLORESCENT WEAR STRIPS WITHIN A SAFE ENOUGH DISTANCE TO AVOID HIM WHEN HE DECIDED TO CROSS. FORTUNATELY, MY PASSENGER SCREAMED JUST IN TIME FOR ME AND HE ABANDONED HIS ATTEMPT AND DECIDED TO BAIL INTO A CULVERT DITCH, I DID NOT HIT HIM. I STOPPED AND HIS JEANS WERE JUST TORN AND HE SAID HE WAS OKAY, BUT, I WILL NOT PUT THOSE DIMS ON AGAIN.

SUSPENSION
WHILE TRAVELING ON 295 S IN RI .. I FELT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BLOW-OUT OF MY RIGHT REAR TIRE. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SWAYING ALL OVER THE ROAD LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKLY I WENT OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE GRASSY AREA BUT WAS HEADING TOWARD TREES, I MANAGED TO TURN SLIGHTLY TO ONLY SIDE SWIPE ALL THE TREES BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. ALL THE AIR BAGS SIDE CURTAINS DEPLOYED. WHEN FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED ON THE SCENE LET GOT ME OUT OF THE CAR. EXPLAINING ABOUT THE BLOW-OUT THEY EXAMINED THE TIRE TO FIND NO FLAT... THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC CALLED IN THE MORNING TO REPORT THE ISSUE WAS THE SUSPENSION.... HE STATED THE INNER TIRE ROD END WAS NOT TOUQED PROPERLY. MY 2015 SRX WAS TOTALED.
