2012 Cadillac Srx

THIS VEHICLE LIKE ALL OTHER CADILLAC SRX MODELS ON THE ROAD HAS THE SAME LOW BEAM LIGHTING ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT BEFORE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT YOUR LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO SEE MORE THAN 3 FEET OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS BUT FOR ALL OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS ON THE ROADWAY.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON A 2012 CADILLAC SRX 4 THAT I JUST PURCHASED ARE TOO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON WHICH CAUSES A HAZARD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT I LITERALLY CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD WITH LOW BEAMS ON WHICH IS VERY LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD SOMEONE PULL RIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF ME, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WERE TOO DIM FOR THEM TO SEE ME COMING. I HAD PEOPLE FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT ME AND ONE PERSON TOLD ME AT A RED LIGHT, THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. I HAD TO GO STRAIGHT HOME AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE. IT IS A STATE LAW IN NC THAT HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE ON WHEN WIPERS ARE BEING USED. IF THE HEADLIGHTS AREN'T VISIBLE IN THE DARK, THEY DEFINITELY WON'T BE VISIBLE IN THE RAIN. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SO DIM THAT IT APPEARS THEY AREN'T ON AT ALL EVEN IN THE DARK. AFTER READING ALL OF THE REPORTS OF THIS, I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THIS HAS NOT BECOME A SAFETY RECALL?!?! IT SEEMS LIKE EXACTLY THE TYPE OF THING THAT A MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT WHEN THEY BECOME AWARE OF IT. THIS IS, APPARENTLY, NOT AT ALL AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS PROJECTED BEAM WAS INSUFFICIENT FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER THE VISIBILITY WAS MINIMAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MY 2012 CADILLAC SRX WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON LOW BEAM IS VERY, VERY DIM. IT'S BASICALLY LIKE DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THIS ONLY EFFECTS LOW BEAM, NOT HIGH. I CAN NOT VISUALLY SEE WELL. THIS PROBLEM HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, YOU CAN BARELY SEE THE ROAD ON LOW BEAM. THERE ARE 1000'S AND 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, BUT I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE LOW BEAMS HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. THE TPMS WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED RICK HENDRICK CHEVROLET NORFOLK 6252 E VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, NORFOLK, VA 23502, (757) 266-5804 AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILLAGE WAS 80,000.

BOTH MY CAR'S HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ARE SO DIM, THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN 2010-2015 MODELS. A LAW SUIT WAS WON IN FLORIDA, HOWEVER, THE OUT OUTCOME ONLY REPAIRS CARS IN FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA. IF GM IS GOING TO REPLACE SOME HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES THEN THAT IS ADMITTED GUILT AND SHOULD REPLACE CARDS IN THE OTHER 48 STATES. THERE IS ANOTHER LAW SUIT IN DETROIT, RIGHT NOW. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE NATION! GM KNEW OF THE PROBLEMS FROM 2010 TO 2015, AND DID NOT CORRECT THE DEFECT OF THE SEALING GASKET, OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECT THAT WAS KNOWN ABOUT AND IGNORED. IF YOU WILL LOOK ONLINE ON VARIOUS FORUMS AND BLOGS YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF US THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, NOT TO MENTION VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. THE LIGHT DIMMING STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, HOWEVER, JUST IN THE LAST 2 YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT I CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE MY PARKING LIGHTS ON WHEN DRIVING.

I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT YET. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK WELL. THERE IS CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT ENCASEMENT AFTER IT RAINS. THE DIMMING OF THE HEADLIGHTS HAPPENED IN APRIL-MAY 20019. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT EVEN WITH STREET LIGHTS. DATES ARE APPROXIMATE SINCE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO PUT "NOT APPLICABLE" TO SOME OF THE FOLLOW ON QUESTIONS.
