Summary

Factory headlights have bulbs that are known to be too hot and many owners have dim issues on low beams - we can’t drive safely at night or early am as our drivers side headlight is not reflecting any light to the road and dim on passenger side. The issue we are told is the bulbs heat has caused burning to the assembly and dulls the projected light. There was a reimbursement some for California owners but not nationwide. Complete assembly replacements are needed and cost will be about $1300-$1500. We have to turn on high beams to see to drive at night…very unsafe.

Summary

The low beam headlights provide very little illumination. Driving this vehicle at night is a safety hazard due to low light illumination. As a result, I use the high beams for better illumination coverage at night or under low light conditions. This problem is progressive and has degenerated over time. The vehicle was taken to a dealership and local repair shop. Replacing the headlight assembly was the final solution from both mechanics ($2000 repair) which is temporary as the problem will reoccur. The low beam reflective lamp housing is scorched or deteriorated due to high halogen bulb heat. I was not involved in any accidents concerning this issue. Driving this vehicle with the low beams on is like having no lights on at all.

Summary

Headlights are so dim that you cannot see to drive at night or after dusk. I have to use the high beams in order to drive at night, so I drive with the high beams, then other drivers are flashing their lights at me to dim my lights, I can’t believe there is no recall on this problem because if there is a safety problem, it would be driving at night and not being able to see where you are going. I also noticed that of all the complaints about this year, make and model, 90% of all complaints were this same problem. Come on nhsta recall this problem!

PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL HEADLIGHTS GO DIM NO VISIABILITY AT NIGHT!!!! Manufacture recommends to replace out of pocket expense to consumer knowing it is a manufacture defect on their part.

The original factory headlights (low beams specifically) are not bright enough to safely drive at night. We have attempted to just replace the bulbs to stronger LEDs but it resulted in such a minimal change - indicating a larger issue.

Summary

The low beam headlights have become so dim that they are virtually useless for night driving. The only way I can drive after dark is with the brights which creates a safety blinding hazard for oncoming vehicles. In going on line I have found this has been an ongoing problem for several years but GM or Cadillac Motors has never announced a recall. The problem is not the bulb or even the globe.

Summary

My car is undriveable after sunset because of low beam dim headlights. My car is a 2014 Cadillac SRX with 74971 miles. I've had a estimate of $1763.24 to fix problem at Labadie Cadillac in Bay City, MI. After investigation this has been a problem known to you for years, I don't understand why a safety recall has not already been ordered against GM, we can't see where we're going at night, that sounds like a safety problem to me. I know GM has paid for repairs after class action lawsuits, but why wasn't a safety recall ordered by you?

Summary

Since we moved to the East Coast, four years ago, the headlights on the 2014 SRX have slowly dimmed until they are completely ineffectual. When looking out the front window on a dark road, there is only a very dim, barely perceptible, lightening of the road directly in front of the car when the headlights are turned on. When approaching another car, the headlights resemble running lights or parking lights and could easily be overlooked in snow or heavy rain. Similar complaints are everywhere online, some indicating that internal Cadillac service memos cite defective seals that allow moisture to enter and corrode the whole light housing and that the only fix is replacing both the light assemblies for $2000...WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART! $2000 represents close to 13% of the Kelly Blue Book Value of the car. For a few months, coinciding with the initial Covid outbreak, Cadillac offered some people (not us) the option of having the light assemblies replaced and applying for a reimbursement within a very narrow time window. I never heard about this at the time and have no idea how these people were selected for notification and contacted. I would like to see Cadillac accept responsibility and recall the part which is obviously a huge safety issue!

Headlights are so dim at night that I have to use highbeams to see properly which is extremely dangerous. This is a ongoing problem I have had since I bought the vehicle and it is getting worse. I try not to drive at night because of this issue. A recall by GM should be immediately initiated. The estimate I received to replace is more than $1,600! Why would there be such a high cost to replace when this issue has been happening since purchasing the vehicle?

Summary

Dim lights housing burned out. Diagnosed by local mechanic and confirmed by Cadillac dealership in Smyrna, Ga. Service dept. says all SRX are having this problem, but he also stated that the recall was already done. The actual recall I received was about condensation in the lights which does not seem to be a problem for my vehicle, so if people are taking their vehicles in and being told the recall is already done, then they are probably not reporting the problem. This affects the safety of myself and others as I am unable to see well in dimly lit areas and I have to use my bright lights to avoid having an accident. There is no warning indicator for this. I can just tell that the lights are not working properly. Also the electronic touch screen that controls the radio and heating is not working properly. I cannot redirect the heat, so it only blows out of defrost vents. It’s very cold in the back for my 4 year old. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request and once I get the mechanic to look at it again, I can provide a picture of the burned out housing unit.

The Headlights for my car - Cadillac 2014 SRX At night the headlights are not bright enough to see and driving is dangerous. The car is available for inspection upon request. I was driving at night making a turn and I hit a small sign post on a back road because I could not see it! I put others at risk driving with my high beams on blinding the oncoming cars. If people are walking on the road I can not see them and therefore put them at risk. Additionally I put myself and my family at risk. I am a first responder working in a Doctor's office after dark and have to drive home on back roads that are very dark and not lit with street lights. The dealer at Ingersoll Auto of Danbury CT confirmed the headlights do not work properly and are not bright enough to see at night. They said they are defective. When I purchased the car and could not see at night driving I contacted my dealership. They said the problem has been a recall in Florida. I contacted Cadillac who said they sent me a letter and I should have them fixed.

Even after replacing bulbs in the headlights with the brightest bulbs available for the car, the headlights are too dim to see the road or anything while driving at night. This creates a safety hazard for the drivers and passengers in the car and other drivers on the road. Even the lines on roads are not clearly visible unless they are freshly painted. GM refuses to fix the problem and the replacement lenses do the same thing when paid to be replaced by the car owner.

Summary

PROBLEM: LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON 2014 CADILLAC SRX: With age, the low beam headlights become too dim to drive at night even though there is nothing wrong with the actual headlight bulb. The problem is related to the materials and design of the Cadillac SRX headlight assemblies. The reflector of the low beam headlight is made of plastic with a chrome coating. The heat of the OEM bulb deteriorates the chrome coating on the reflector until it appears as the dull white color of the plastic base material. Without the chrome coating the low beam headlights are very dim. Replacing the headlight bulb will not remedy the situation. The only fix is to replace the entire headlight assembly and this is usually done at a dealership because the whole front grill/bumper must be removed). During 2019 and 2020 Cadillac had a reimbursement program for people that complained or owners that received letters about the program which was handled by a 3rd party. There had been complaints to Cadillac about these low output headlights but they kept this problem out of the public realm by quietly settling with those customers. The estimate I received today from Everett Chevrolet-Cadillac in Hickory NC was $1900 to replace both headlight assemblies with factory original parts. I spoke to Cadillac customer care today and they said they may possibly assist in the replacement but I would have to submit a written estimate to them for review. If Cadillac is not responsible for this problem then why have they paid for replacements in the past and why will they consider paying for them now on a case by case basis? These aging Cadillac SRX models are not safe to be on the roads with these dim low beam headlights. Owners either have to be very careful or use their high beam headlights in night time traffic.

Summary

I recently purchased this vehicle and have discovered that you cannot see the road at night with dim beam, the cause is the reflector compartment on the light modules burns up from the heat generated by the light and takes away the reflector capabilities that give out light to the road. I am forced to currently drive with main beam everywhere which is a big safety issue. I investigated to see if tis is just my car and have found on You Tube that it is a major issue with is car model. I am told that if I take the car in and pay to have it fixed that GM will reimburse in their own time. This is not acceptable, it should have been addressed by your department years ago and it is not on the recall list why? No accidents for us yet but we cannot drive the car after dark unless very important reason then full beam and my wife will not drive it at all at night! I will wait to hear back from you before I pursue this further but time is of the essence here so please respond soon. Thank You.

Headlights are dim on low beam. After multiple reports/complaints by owners no recall was issued. It is a safety issue.GM offered to reimburse up to $1600. My dealer wanted $2502.40 plus tax to replace the lights. $1000 over the reimbursement cost which made a total of almost $3000 I had to put out then wait to get back $1600. I have not replaced the lights. This is a product safety issue that is GM's problem not mine. Why no recall?

BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 2020 I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT STARTED JERKING AROUND REALLY BAD WHEN I WOULD EITHER UPSHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT IN 1-2 GEAR. TOOK IT TO CADILLAC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WE TOOK IT TO A COUPLE OF OTHER MECHANICS AND A LOT OF MONEY LATER NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING. ONE DAY DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR STARTED JERKING SO BAD THAT I ALMOST CRASHED. COME TO FIND OUT THE TRANSMISSION DIED. WE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN. WHEN I DRIVE AND GET TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR THE ENTIRE CAR SHAFTS TO SHAKE AND JERK AROUND AND THIS HAPPENED WHEN I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR. GM IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP US. AT THIS POINT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND AND CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP RANDOMLY REPLACING PARTS ON A CAR THAT IS JUST NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. I AM TRULY AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

THIS IS A DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN AND GM IS BARELY GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT IGNORING IT BUT BLOWING IT OFF IN MANY WAYS SUPPRESSING IT IN MANY WAYS . THE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND SUSPENSION ARE SCARY WHEN YOU HEAR THE NOISES AND I THINK MORE SCARY WHEN YOU ASK FOR AN ESTIMATE WHICH I WILL PUT OFF DECIDING TO TAKE A CHANCE WITH AN AREA OF THE CAR THAT CAN TRULY CAUSE DEATH IF THE PAST MEANS ANYTHING. I AM GOING TO MENTION THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEFECTIVE QUE SYSTEM THAT THEY ARE CLEARLY TRYING TO DENY BUT DID PAY 90% OF MY $1000 REPAIR WITHOUT TAKING BLAME AND OF COURSE THIS IS NOT A REAL SAFETY CONCERN BUT WORTH DESCRIBING BECAUSE IT SHOWS A CLEAR PATTERN OF SUPPRESSION AND AVOIDANCE TO RECALL A CLEARLY DEFECTIVE PART OF A VEHICLE .

MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS SO DIM ON REGULAR (NOT HIGH BEAM), THAT I CANNOT SEE THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CADILLAC DIRECTLY. THEY ADVISED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP AT FIELDS CADILLAC IN JACKSONVILLE THAT IT IS A REFLECTOR BEHIND THE BULB, AND THEY SEE IT A LOT. THE ISSUE IS THIS: I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPAIR IT; HOWEVER I HAD TO PAY FOR IT, AND CADILLAC WOULD REIMBURSE ME. I ASKED THE PRICE. IT WAS APPROX. $1500! I AM A WIDOW, LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY, AND DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF DISPOSABLE RESOURCES. SHE SAID THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD REPAIR IT. I WAS VERY UPSET. I THOUGHT IT WAS COMPLETELY UNFAIR. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE CAD HEADLIGHTS DOING THE SAME THING AS MINE. I TOLD THEM IF I WAS KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE, I WOULD MAKE SURE MY SON NEVER HAD TO WORK A DAY AGAIN IN HIS LIFE. IT WOULD BE ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT IN MY OPINION. I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT 60 MILES TO MY HOME A FEW WEEKS AGO AFTER DARK, AND I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, AND THERE ARE SO MANY ANIMALS, ETC. THAT MUST BE SEEN IF THEY ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NOT TO MENTION MY OWN VISIBILITY OF THE ENTIRE ROAD. WHEN I PUT MY HIGH BEAMS ON, OF COURSE DRIVERS COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION PUT THEIRS ON ME. SO WE'RE BOTH BLIND. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED BY CADILLAC OR THE NHTSA. *LN*JB

WE PURCHASED THIS 2014 SRX IN 2017 IN DAYLIGHT AT GATEWAY BUICK,DALLAS,TX. AFTER A FEW DAYS DRIVING IT AT NIGHT COULD QUICKLY TELL THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TOO TOO DIM TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT, COMPLAINED MANY TIMES TO THEM, THEY EVEN LATER CHECKED LIGHTS OUT AND SAID ALL WAS OK! VERY DISGUSTED WITH CADILLAC NOT WANTING TO RECALL AS I FOUND OUT THAT THE 2010'S THR 2015'S ARE ALL DEFECTIVE. WE CALL CADILLAC AND THEY TELL US THIS CAR IS IN NAME OF A MAN IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY CAN'T HELP US. I AM VERY VERY MAD AT CADILLAC FOR NOT SUPPORTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN THIS WAY! WE HAVE NO ONE TO TURN TO BUT ONLY FINDING A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM ONLINE AND NOTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS TRAGIC SITUATION. FINALLY ORDERED NEW HEADLIGHTS THROUGH CADILLAC DEALERSHIP ($2,000.00 TO REPAIR)EARLIER THIS YEAR AND TELL US NOT IN AS YET. THEY ARE ALL IN DENIAL. I AM 77 NOW AND HUSBAND 85 AND OUR CHILDREN ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT US DRIVING AT NIGHT. PLEASE IF SOMEONE COULD HELP IN THIS AWFUL SITUATION. A LETTER FROM CADILLAC EARLIER THIS YEAR SAID WILL ONLY PAY $1600.00 TO REIMBURSE US TO REPLACE THEM AND ONLY IF MOISTURE IS THE PROBLEM. DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD IS HORRIBLE, NOT LIGHTING, MAIN STREETS WITH STREETLIGHTS OK, BUT ANY DARK STREET IS A DEATH RISK. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO VENT AND PRAY FOR SOME RESOLVING OF THIS SITUATION. I HAVE READ WHERE PEOPLE HAVE ORDERED HEADLIGHTS AND HAD THEM REPLACED AND STILL NO BETTER, JUST SAME OLD ORIGINALS.

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2014 CADILLAC SRX AND BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION 7 MONTHS LATER. I WAS EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFT CHANGES CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING, TO THE POINT WHERE I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW. OCCORDING TO THEM THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR UNTIL I DROVE IT THERE AND PHYSICALLY REQUESTED A MANAGER TO COME OUT AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THEN AND ONLY THEN THEY ADMITTED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEY KEPT IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND CLAIMED THEY PERFORMED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND 5 WEEKS LATER I WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS TIME WORST THAN THE 1ST TIME. BY THEN MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THEY DID NOT WANT TO GUARANTEE THEIR REPAIR AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY ALMOST 3,000 DOLLARS FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE DONE. MY OTHER ISSUE IS WITH THE CUE, IT CRACKED WHILE THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO PAY 1,500 DOLLARS TO FIX. SECOND TIME I HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT. THIS MODEL HAS SO MANY ISSUES IT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES ON THE ROAD FROM A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND CUES THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU HAVER TO USE YOUR CELL PHONE FOR NAVIGATION.

THE DAY I BOUGHT MY 2014 CADILLAC SRX ON THE DRIVE HOME IT GOT DARK AND MY LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS IN TALLAHASSEE IN TRAFFIC SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE STREET LIGHTS THAT WERE MAKING THEM SEEM DIM. AS I CONTINUED HOME I WAS RUNNING THE LIGHTS ON HIGH WHEN I MET A CAR I PUT THEM ON LOW AND IT WAS LIKE I HAD NO LIGHTS AT ALL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THIS WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP AND OF COURSE IT WAS TEST DRIVEN IN THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. I PURCHASED IT ON FEBRUARY 29, 2020, THE CARFAX CHECKED OUT GREAT, WITHOUT BEING AWARE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND I REALLY DO NOT THINK THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE SOLD THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. CADILLAC FINALLY SENT LETTERS TO OWNERS IN FLORIDA AND THE WEEK FOLLOWING MY PURCHASE MY MOTHER RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING A CLASS ACTION SUIT ON THE HEADLIGHTS ON HER 2013 CADILLAC SRX THAT WAS TOTALED DURING HURRICANE MICHAEL ON OCTOBER 10, 2018. I CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD I COULD HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED AT MY COST. THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE AND DURING THIS TIME A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $1700.00 LAYING AROUND BECAUSE THAT WAS THE QUOTE THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER. WITH ALL I HAVE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH AND EVEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT CADILLAC SHOULD BE REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY. I EVEN CONTACTED THE ADMINISTRATOR WITH CLASS ACTION SUIT AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN # WAS IN THE GROUP THAT WAS NOTIFIED EARLIER AND THAT DEADLINE HAD EXPIRED IN JUNE 2019 PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE BUT IT IS APPARENT THE WORK WAS NEVER DONE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. IF I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT MY ONLY OPTION IS TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHICH IS A DANGER TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I ASK YOU TO PLEASE LOOK AT THIS SITUATION AND FORCE GM CADILLAC TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LONG TIME AGO. *BF *TR *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS IN MY 2014 CADILLAC SRX ARE SO DIM IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR NOR 2 MAYBE 3 FEET PASS THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE CAR AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREETS. I'M DRIVING TRULY ON SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR LIGHTS AGAINST THE ROAD. CADILLAC HAVE PROVIDED A LETTER TO CUSTOMERS TO SUBMIT A CLAIM TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS STATING A SMALL NUMBER OF SRX MODELS...YEA RIGHT DANGEROUS IS DANGEROUS... CAN REPLACE LIGHTS DUE TO MOISTURE..ETC..ETC.. HOWEVER, THEY ARE ONLY PROVIDING A CAP ($800 PER HEADLIGHT) OF WHAT THEY WOULD PAY. AFTER TAKING IT TO A CADILLAC DEALER THEY ARE CHARGING CUSTOMERS WAY OVER THE CAP AND WE HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALL STATUS IN THE FIRST PLACE. MY CAR IS A 2014 WITH ABOUT 59500 MILES NOW AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TODAY 3 MAR 2020, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SAME MODEL HEADLIGHT WOULD BE INSTALL BACK INTO MY VEHICLE MEANING IN ABOUT 2 YEARS OR LESS I WOULD BE PLACE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AGAIN. I AM NOT SURE WHAT VEHICLES YOU ALL ARE TESTING AND SAW THAT THESE SRXS HEADLIGHT ARE MEETING HEADLIGHT SAFETY STANDARD. I RECOMMEND YOU REEVALUATE THIS SITUATION AND CHARGE GM CADILLAC TO PUT A RECALL ON ALL THE VEHICLES THEY STATED WOULD HAVE AN ISSUE WITH OUR HEADLIGHTS. P.S. THE MORE I DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT THE WORST THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME. THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT OF A VEHICLE BEFORE BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

CONDENSATION AND WATER WERE LEAKING INTO THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A CADILLAC SERVICE CENTER FOR EVALUATION. THEY RETURNED THE VEHICLE WITH A QUOTE FOR $2500 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ENCLOSURES. HOWEVER, IF I CANNOT AFFORD REPAIRS AND I CHOOSE TO FORGO REPLACEMENT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT. THIS ISSUE IS MORE THAN A COSMETIC ISSUE. THE SEALS ON THE HEADLAMP ENCLOSURE ARE DEFECTIVE AND ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE HEADLIGHTS. THE CONDENSATION DIMS THE HEADLIGHT QUALITY AT NIGHT, MAKING NIGHT-DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. CADILLAC SAID THE $2500 WOULD ONLY COVER REPLACEMENT WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART, SO I MAY NEED TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. THE HEADLIGHTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG AGO. NIGHTTIME DRIVING IS HAZARDOUS WITHOUT FULLY FUNCTIONAL HEADLIGHTS.

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.

PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2014 WITH 69,000 MILES. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DIDN'T ILLUMINATE, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS WERE GREAT. I REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULBS AND SOME LIGHT NOW HITS THE ROAD, BUT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. IT APPEARS THAT THE GLASS SPHERE IN FRONT OF THE BULBS IS GRAY AND NOT ALLOWING LIGHT TO PASS THRU. THE DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION.

Summary

WE PURCHASED OUR 2014 CADILLAC ON 7/3/2019. CARFAX CHECK OUT GREAT. 5 DAYS LATER WE LEFT TOWN AT 9:30 PM FOR A MINI VACATION. IT WAS GETTING DARK. WE THOUGHT THE LIGHTS SEEMED PRETTY DIM, BUT THEN AGAIN IT WASN'T COMPLETELY BLACK OUTSIDE AT THIS POINT . AS IT PROCEEDED TO GET DARKER WE STARTED TO GET EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED IT WAS LIKE DRIVING WITH DIM FLASHLIGHTS . THE HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE BUT THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT! ! I GOT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA !!! I CALLED THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS! WE SERIOUSLY THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT NIGHT . WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CADILLAC TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE? NOT A GREAT WAY TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY OR IN TOWN. WE DID BOTH.

Summary

FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIM AND HAVE GOTTEN WORSE WITH TIME. GM WAS SUED BY SEVERAL CUSTOMERS AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO OFFER FREE REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPLACING THE PARTS. LETTERS SENT ONLY RECEIVED BY FEW PEOPLE. GM REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES THEY MANUFACTURED FROM 2010-2015, ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. VEHICLE IS USELESS AT NIGHT. SAFETY HAZARD. DIMMITT CADLLLAC IN CLEARWATER, FLORIDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY EITHER, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR OVER 2 YEARS. DIMMITT FAILED TO INFORM THE CLIENTS A 90-DAY WINDOW TO REPAIR WAS OFFERED PURSUANT TO A LETTER MOST CUSTOMERS DID NOT RECEIVE, EVEN WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN WITHIN THE WINDOW PERIOD FOR OIL CHANGE. THE CONSENSUS IS THAT GM MANUFACTURED DEFECTIVE SEALS AROUND THE HEADLIGHTS WHICH ALLOW MOISTURE/CONDENSATION TO GET IN DAMAGING THE LIGHTS. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT AS LIGHTS ARE OFF. THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME EVENT. IT'S AN ONGOING SITUATION THAT GM REFUSES TO CORRECT AND/OR ISSUE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH ALL CADILLAC SRX 2010-2015 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

Summary

CONCERN: EXTREMELY DIM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR CADILLAC SRX, SO DIM AND HAZARDOUS THAT WE CHOOSE TO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT AND NEVER IN RAIN. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH STRONG NEW BULBS FROM SYLVANIA (GOLD SERIES) HOWEVER THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. WE HAVE BEEN TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, THEY WANT TO CHARGE 1,900 DOLLARS TO REPLACE BOTH FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WITH THE SAME FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND CHARGE US FOR IT. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A BARELY 4 YR OLD CADILLAC THAT YOU CANT EVEN DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF SAFETY. MY CELLPHONE IS BRIGHTER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS, WE HAVE DONE THE COMPARISON. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED OF PENDING LAWSUITS OVER THE SAME ISSUE, ACCIDENTS, ETC,...IT IS AS MUCH OF A SAFETY HAZARD AS I CAN THINK OF. A 4 YR OLD CADILLAC THAT YOU CANT DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FAULTY, WELL DOCUMENTED DESIGN FLAWS IN THE LIGHT. RIDICULOUS. THE SRX WITHOUT QUESTION A DANGER TO DRIVE AT DUSK, DARK, OR RAIN.

THE CADILLAC CUE SYSTEM IS THE MAIN TOUCH SCREEN IN THE VEHICLE. I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEAD SPOT ON THE SCREEN. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY HAVE RECOMMENDED ISSUING A RECALL. I HAVE HEARD WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT CADILLAC IS ACTUALLY SUING THE COMPANY THAT PRODUCES THE CUE PRODUCT. FRANKEL CADILLAC IN COCKEYSVILLE, MARYLAND HAS HAD TO REPLACE A COUPLE OF THESE WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I ALSO WAS ADVISED THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE FOR QUITE SOMETIME. I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO ON A WAITING LIST FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO EVEN GET ONE SINCE THEY APPEARED TO BE HIGH IN DEMAND BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED CADILLAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD REACH OUT FOR ASSISTANCE THROUGH YOUR COMPANY. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH PAYING FOR WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT TO HAVE THE MAIN CONTROL SYSTEM GO DOWN WITHIN 4 YEARS AND LESS THAN 40K MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE THAT I SHOULD BE OUT OF POCKET $817.00 TO REPAIR THIS.

JULY 4, 2018 I HIT THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT BOTHERED ME BECAUSE I WAS ALERT PAYING ATTENTION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME. IT BOTHERED ME THAT I HIT THE CAR AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY? NOW I KNOW, I COULD NOT SEE THE CAR BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. MY CAR INSURANCE WENT UP BECAUSE IT COST CLOSE TO $4,000 TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE FOR CADILLAC TO RECALL THE HEADLIGHTS ON THESE VEHICLES. THEY ARE UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I AM CONSIDERING THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY NOT THAT I KNOW THE LIGHTS WERE THE ISSUE AND NOT ME. I WAS NOT SPEEDING IN THE ACCIDENT AND THE CAR IS FRONT OF ME WAS JUST GOING SLOW, NOT IN A STOPPED POSITION. MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH THAT I COULD JUDGE THE DISTANCE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

JULY 4, 2018 I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WHERE I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE AROUND 9:45PM. IT BOTHERED ME THAT I DID NOT SEE THE CAR UNTIL I WAS RIGHT ON HER. ALL OF A SUDDEN I SAW HER CAR AND SHE WAS MOVING NOT STANDING STILL. IT DAWNED ON ME THAT I COULD NOT SEE HER CAR OR JUDGE THE DISTANCE FROM HER BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF ME. I CAUSED MY INSURANCE RATES TO GO UP. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT SINCE THE LATE 1970S. I AM A GOOD DRIVER AND WAS NOT DISTRACTED IN ANY WAY. OVER $3,000 WORTH DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY CAR AND I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH TO THE VEHICLE I HIT. CADILLAC NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO WAY BRIDGE AND BOTH CARS WERE IN MOTION.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUS AT NIGHT YOU CAN NOT SEE 20 FEET IN FRONT OFF THE CAR. I ASK REP. AT CADILLAC ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME IF I HAD BOUGHT THE PREMIER MODEL IT WOULD HAVE MUCH BETTER HEADLIGHTS. I KNOW THAT THE CHEAPEST CAR ON THE MARKET HAS BETTER HEADLIGHTS THAN THE CADILLAC SRX. WHEN YOU PURCHASE A CAR FOR 45,000 DOLLARS AND ARE TOLD YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE 50,000 DOLLAR CAR TO GET GOOD HEADLIGHTS THAT`S INSULTING TO ME. TEXAS STATE INSPECTION IN THE PASSED TESTED HEADLIGHT LUMENS AND AIM I`LL BET THEY WOULD NOT PASS MINIMUM STANDARDS IF THE STATE STILL REQUIRED THAT TEST FOR STATE INSPECTION. NIGHT TIME DRIVING IN THE SRX IS DANGEROUS. THE NEXT FIELD REQUIRES A DATE THAT THIS HAPPENED 'ALWAYS' IS THE ANSWER BUT I WILL ENTER TODAY`S DATE SO THAT I CAN COMPLETE THIS FORM THAT PROBABLY WON`T BE READ.

I HAVE ATTACHED TWO PICTURES THAT I TOOK. ONE IS MY NISSAN ALTIMA SHOWING NORMAL PROJECTION AND THE CADILLAC SRX WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE DEALER AND CADILLAC REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE AND WILL DO NOTHING. RESEARCH CLEARLY SHOWS THIS TO BE AN ISSUE IN 2010 TO 2015 CADILLACS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILES IN MULTIPLE STATES. I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT AT NIGHT AND SHE STATES SHE IS AFRAID TO DO SO.

I HAVE GONE TO THE ACTUAL CADILLAC SEWELL DEALERSHIP, THEY AGREED WITH ME THAT THE LIGHTS ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS ARE WAY TOO DIM. I ASKED THEM TO PLACE A BRIGHTER LIGHTBULB, BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO DO THAT SINCE IT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE ENTIRE LIGHT FIXTURE. THEY SAID IT WAS COMMON WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, AND REPLACING THE ENTIRE LIGHT FIXTURE WAS $1500 PER HEADLIGHT, MAKING $3000 TO MAKE HEADLIGHTS SAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE CONSUMER PAY FOR FOR A PROBLEM NOT CAUSED BY THE CONSUMER. THEY MENTIONED THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ISSUE WITH MANY OF MY CAR AND MAKE.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT NIGHT, THE CAR HAS A FEATURE TO SWITCH BETWEEN HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE FEATURE WORKS FINE, HOWEVER, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HIGH BEAM LIGHT AND THE LOW BEAM LIGHT IS EXTREMELY DRAMATIC AND THIS MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSONS EYES TO READJUST AND FOCUS TO SEE AT THE LOW BEAM SETTING. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. THEY DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE STOP SIGNS AS THE DRIVER APPROACHES. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO A DANGEROUSLY SLOW SPEED IN ORDER TO SEE THE STREET SIGNS. I BOUGHT THE CAR 5 DAYS AGO USED AND DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR THIS PARTICULAR CAR. IN THE PAST 4 DAYS, I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP GET THE LOW BEAMS ANY BRIGHTER. THEY CANNOT!! THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME OUT TO TALK WITH ME AND SHOWED ME PICTURES OF THE 'HOUSING' FOR THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS AND THERE ARE METAL BRACKETS IN THE WAY OF THE LIGHT, WHICH HE EXPLAINED WILL FORCE THE LIGHT TO CAST TOO FAR DOWN. THIS IS WHY STREET SIGNS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO READ AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. PLEASE RECALL IT AND FIX THIS PROBLEM! THE SERVICE MANAGER DID NOT GIVE ME A COPY OF THE PICTURES OR I WOULD INCLUDE THEM...

Summary

ON MAY 12, 2018, WE WERE DRIVING WEST ON MARYLAND INTERSTATE 68 THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS. WE WERE DRIVING DOWNWARD ON ONE OF THE MANY MOUNTAINS AND I NOTICED A WOBBLE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. I BEGAN TO WORRY AND SLOWED DOWN FROM 70 MPH TO 50 MPH. AS I APPROACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTAIN THERE WAS A CURVE TO THE LEFT. ALL OF THE SUDDEN WE LOST CONTROL LIKE WE WERE ON ICE. WE TURNED 360 DEGREES AND SLAMMED INTO THE RIGHT BERM GUARD RAIL AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TRAVEL BACK ACROSS THE TWO LAND HIGHWAY AND HIT THE LEFT MEDIAN GUARDRAIL AND CAME TO A STOP. THERE WERE THREE OF US IN THE CAR AND FORTUNATELY ONLY MINOR INJURIES. WE OBSERVED THAT THE AXLE AT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL HAD SHEERED OFF. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! ALSO. THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SLAMMED INTO THE GUARD RAIL. *TR

Summary

WHEN DRIVING, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT . IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO EVEN TELL IF THEY ARE ON. HIGH BEAMS ARE FINE. DRIVING AT NIGHT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO LOW VISIBILITY FROM DIM LIGHTS. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST ~ 6 MONTHS.

Summary

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME VERY DIM WHILE DRIVING 5 HOUR BACK FROM NORTH FLORIDA. I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD UNLESS I TURNED ON THE HIGH BEAMS.THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED IT WOULD CAST $1,600.00 TO REPLACE TWO LOW BEAM LIGHT BULBS WITH THE SAME BULB THAT WERE FAILING AFTER 4 YEARS OF USE. LOOKING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT OTHER SRX OWNER THAT PAID FOR THIS REPAIR EXPERIENCED THAT THE HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT WAS EITHER A SHORT TERM FIX, 3 TO 6 MONTHS OR IT DOES NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE AT ALL. CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT WOULD BE A SEVERE DANGER AND WILL CERTAINLY END IN A CRASH. CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. EITHER BY BLINDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH HIGH BEAMS FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD WITH LOW BEAMS. MY ONLINE SEARCH FOUND SEVERAL SOLUTIONS ENGINEERED BY AFTERMARKET COMPANIES THAT FIX THIS DEFECT. THE COST IS $70.00 TO $150.00 AND REQUIRES ABOUT 4 HOURS WORK TO INSTALL. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND THE AFFECTED VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON I95 IT DID IT AND LEFT ME SHAKING. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR LIKE I HAD HIT SOMETHING, BUT IN FACT, ITS THE JERKING, BUCKING THING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH THE JERKING BUT THE LAG IN ACCELERATION HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE CAR. WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE ENGINE REV'S BUT THE CAR GOES NO WHERE AND OTHER CARS ARE COMING AND IT'S DANGEROUS.

Summary

DRIVING IN LIGHT SNOW/ICE AND EXTREME COLD (APPROXIMATELY 15 DEG F) CONDITIONS, WIPERS CONTINUALLY CLOGGED WITH ICE. WHILE THIS MAY APPEAR TO BE AN EXPECTED RESULT, THE DESIGN OF THE WIPER LOCATION BELOW THE POINT ON THE WINDSHIELD WHERE THE FRONT WINDOW DEFROSTER HITS THE WINDOW MAY HAVE EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM. SNOW AND ICE FROM THE WINDSHIELD MELTED, RAN DOWN WINDSHIELD TO THE WIPER LOCATION AND IMMEDIATELY REFROZE - RENDERING THE WIPERS INEFFECTIVE. CONTINUAL USE OF THE WIPERS (NOT INTERMITTENT) APPEARED TO SOMEWHAT AMELIORATE THE ISSUE. *TR

Summary

I AM ONLY GUESSING THE YEAR BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY VEHICLE. I WANT TO ALERT THE NHTSB TO WHAT I CONSIDER A SAFETY DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE EXCESSIVELY BRIGHT TO THE POINT OF AFFECTING THE VISION OF SOMEONE FOLLOWING THIS VEHICLE. LAST NIGHT I WAS FOLLOWING ONE OF THESE IN A LINE OF CARS AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE SO BRIGHT IT AFFECTED MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD. SINCE THIS IS AN SUV OF SORTS, IT WAS MADE WORSE BY THE HIGH MOUNTING OF NOT ONLY THE NORMAL LIGHTS BUT THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS VISIBLE AND CERTAINLY ON A FOGGY NIGHT THEY WOULD BE USEFUL, BUT FOR NORMAL CLEAR DRIVING LIKE LAST NIGHT THEY ARE TOO BRIGHT AND CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AS THE BRIGHTNESS AFFECTS THE VISION OF THE PERSON FOLLOWING THE VEHICLE. AS I MENTIONED, I DO NOT KNOW THE YEAR AND DIDN'T THINK TO GET THE LICENSE NUMBER BUT THE 2 MARKINGS WERE "SRX" AND EITHER "315" OR MORE LIKELY "3.5". EVEN WITH MY HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WHICH WERE NEEDED TO COUNTERACT THE EFFECT OF THE HIGH BRIGHTNESS BRAKE LIGHTS IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MAKE OUT THE 3.5. *TR
