EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM ON LOW BEAM, IT HAS BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT WITHOUT HAVING THEM ON HIGH BEAM. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH CONDENSATION DEVELOPING ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEAD LIGHTS SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. I'VE TRIED BRIGHTER BULBS WITH NO SUCCESS.

DRIVING AT NIGHT IS A NIGHTMARE, ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN. EVERY NIGHT I HAVE FOUND MYSELF STRUGGLING TO SEE THE ROAD. I HAVE TO COUNT ON THE REAR LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. RURAL ROADS ARE THE WORSE. I HAVE A CADILLAC BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY AND WELL CRAFTED ENGINEERING, BUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL???

LIGHTING ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETELY OUT ON VEHICLE. I CAN ONLY DRIVE WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS ON. I HAVE WENT OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES,DUE TO LIGHTING. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CHECKS FROM CADILLAC AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY, BUT IS A WASTE BECAUSE IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LIGHTS ON THIS CAR HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE! FIRST WE THOUGHT THE LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. DEALERSHIP TOLD US THEY ARE ADJUSTED PERFECTLY. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT! I WILL KILL SOMEONE OR MYSELF! CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AGAIN & WAS TOLD THEY COULD MEET US HALFWAY FOR REPLACEMENT. CADILLAC IS VERY AWARE OF THIS. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM & KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I TELL EVERYONE NOT TO PURCHASE A CADILLAC BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR FLAWS. I WANT TO INCLUDE MY NAME SO THAT WHEN MY HUSBAND HAS TO BURY ME FROM GETTING KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT HE WILL HAVE PROOF THAT THE COMPLAINT WAS MADE TO OUR GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS GOING TO TAKE THE DEATH OF ONE OR MORE PERSONS AND AN OUTRAGEOUS NEGLIGENT LAWSUIT FOR GM TO GET ON BOARD WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'VE EVEN MADE A FILE FOR MY HUSBAND TO ACCESS TO GIVE TO ATTORNEY UPON MY DEATH. THANK YOU GM, AT LEAST MY HUSBAND WILL BE ABLE TO BUY A NEW FORD! SINCERELY, [XXX] CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM RON TAYLOR CADILLAC IN HOUSTON,TX INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CW *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM TO A POINT WHERE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT BRIGHT OR HIGH BEAMS ON. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED DANGEROUS CONDITIONS WHEN DRIVING ON DARK OR DIMLY LIT ROADS AT NIGHT. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM WE WERE TOLD THAT WAS NO SOLUTION AND THAT GM WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. WHEN THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE WAS CALLED, NO ASSISTANCE WAS GIVEN AFTER REPEATED PROMISES THAT SOME ONE WOULD RETURN OUR CALL. WE WERE FINALLY TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS THAT WOULD COST ABOUT $135. MY COMMENT WAS, WHY WOULD I PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS WHEN I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT CANNOT BE FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SUPPOSE IT IS CHEAPER FOR GM TO SETTLE DEATH CLAIMS THAN ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I BOUGHT A USED CADILLAC. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS I NOTICED THAT I COULD NOT SEE AT NIGHT. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY EYESIGHT. I LATER BOUGHT A HD LIGHT BULB FOR $200 AND HAD IT INSTALLED FOR ANOTHER $250(YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE BUMPER TO REPLACE THE BULBS ON THIS CAR). YET THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND DANGEROUS. I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE DEALER AND HE WANTED TO CHANGE THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY OR GO GET AFTER MARKET ASSEMBLY. ON A HUNCH I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THIS WAS A RAMPANT PROBLEM WITH SRX'S ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE COMPLETELY DIM, ORANGE GLOW,I HAVE VOICED MY CONCERN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY HAVE SAID BY REPLACING THE BULB WOULDN'T TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CONTACTED CADILLAC AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM.THIS IS DEFINETLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH HEADLIGHTS. I ALSO HAVE SEEN LAWSUITS PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE IN OTHER STATES.I FEEL BOTH CADILLAC AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE AVOIDING TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2013 CADILLAC SRX THE LOW BEAMS ARE SO DIM YOU CANNOT SEE FIVE FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR! THERE HAVE BEEN TONS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CADILLAC AND SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THEY WILL NOT DO A RECALL AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THERE HAS TO BE SOMEHOW TO GET GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED! I AM HAVING TO TRY AND REPLACE THESE POORLY DESIGNED LIGHTS THAT DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH SAFE ROAD VISIBILITY WITH AFTER MARKET HEADLAMPS. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THESE REPLACEMENT LIGHTS BUT I DO NOT WANT ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO DIE IN A CRASH CAUSED BY THESE OEM LIGHTS. GM SHOULD SETUP A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON ALL OF THESE VEHICLES FITTED WITH THESE LIGHTS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING OUR CAR AT NIGHT WE ENCOUNTER POOR VISIBILITY TO ALMOST NO VISIBILITY. BRIGHT BEAMS WORK BUT WE CAN'T DRIVE LEGALLY WITH BRIGHT BEAMS ON. THIS HAS OCCURRED ALWAYS AT NIGHT, ON THE HIGHWAY, ON CITY STREETS AND TRAVELING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS. ON A DARK NIGHT, THE LIGHT CAST IS SO POOR THAT THE LANE LINES ARE NOT VISIBLE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR HITS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I WONDER IF OTHER VEHICLES AREN'T SEEING OUR CAR. THIS HEADLIGHT SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS AND COULD BE DEADLY. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS FROM TENNESSEE TO OHIO.

THE LOW BEAMS HAVE A VERY LOW OUTPUT. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH THE HIGHEST OUTPUT BULBS THE AUTO PARTS STORE HAS WHICH DID NOT IMPROVER THE LOW BEAM OUTPUT. THIS MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS TO SEE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND IT DOES NOT MATER WHAT TYPE OF ROAD OR IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND MAKE NIGHT DRIVING DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO SAFETY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE BUT CADILLAC WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. THE HALOGEN BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES BUT IT DOES NOT HELP REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE REFLECTOR IN THE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY AND THAT THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE SOLUTION FOR THE CONSUMER AND ONE WHICH IS BECAUSE OF AN APPARENT DESIGN FLAW ACCORDING TO THE CADILLAC MECHANIC.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FAULTY / ARE WEARING PREMATURELY. MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE AN EXTREMELY LACK OF ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHT DEFECT IS A POOR SEAL THAT ALLOWS MOISTURE TO ENTER THE HEADLIGHT. THE MOISTURE IS CAUSING CORROSION AND SHORT-CIRCUITING CAUSING BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE HEADLIGHT'S OUTPUT. MY HUSBAND HAS CONTACTED THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP ON LIME STREET IN METAIRIE, LA TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT REPLACE THEM FOR ABOUT A $1,300 FEE. THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE AN ISSUE BUT HAVE NOT PUT A RECALL ON THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD WE HAD TO TAKE THE COMPLAINT UP WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY THEN THEY DOUBT THE WARRANTY I PURCHASE WITH CADILLAC FOR $5,000 WILL NOT COVER IT. CADILLAC DID NOT TELL ME BEFORE OR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS $37,000 VEHICLE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THEIR LOW GRADE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS AND THAT THEY PLAN TO DO NOTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE WHEN IT HAPPENS.
