2014 Cadillac Srx

THE SRX HEADLAMPS ARE SO DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT IT IS DANGEROUS. WHEN DRIVING IT DOES NOT EMIT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE THE ROAD AND WHEN CARS ARE COMING TOWARDS YOU BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LIGHTS EMITTING G FROM MY VEHICLE OR BLINDS YOU FROM SEEING THE ROAD. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM REFUSES TO ACCEPT OWNERSHIP. THEY FINALLY SENT LETTERS TO OWNERS ON FLORIDA THAT THE KNOW THE HAVE AN ISSUE BUT NOW WANTS THE CONSUMER TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AND SUBMIT A CLAIM. THIS IS UNFAIR AND DANGEROUS MANY PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA 1600 DOLLARS LAYING AROUND. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO ISSUE A RECALL AND PAY FOR THEIR POOR PART ISSUES WITH THEIR PRODUCT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

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

THE DIM HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR ARE AWFUL YOU CAN HARDLY SEE ANYTHING AT NIGHT, YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS RAINING YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING AT ALL. WHEN YOU DIM YOUR HEADLIGHTS IT IS LIKE YOU TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS. WHAT IS REALLY BAD IS WHEN YOU HAVE PAID ALOT FOR THIS CAR AND YOU DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE TOLD OUR CHILDREN IF SOMETHING EVER HAPPENS TO US IN THIS CAR AT NIGHT FOR THEM TO BE SURE TO SUE CADILLAC BECAUSE THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT EVER HAPPENS TO US. THANK YOU!!!

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.

THE LOW BEAMS ARE HORRIBLE. AT AROUND 60,000 MILES THE LOW BEAMS STARTED TO FADE DOWN. CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT UNLESS MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ON. DEALERSHIP WANTS 1800$ TO FIX. I TRIED REPLACING BULBS LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD WORK AT LEAST TEMPORARILY UNTIL THEY BOTH BLEW OUT COMPLETELY WITHIN 10 MIN OF DRIVING. CADILLAC SHOULD FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY THIS IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT DUSK OR DAWN, THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP WAS INADEQUATE FOR SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER HUBBARD'S CADILLAC/GMC (901 W. BROADWAY ST. MONTICELLO IN) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I WENT AND HAD NEW LIGHTS PUT IN WITH LITTLE TO NO IMPROVEMENT. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CADILLAC SRX 2010-2015. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO CADILLAC AND THEY SAID IT WAS $2,100 TO FIX IT. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON WITH MY NEW HEADLIGHTS IN THERE. CADILLAC SHOULD BE REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS BLINDING AND I CANNOT SEE THE LINES. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO TURN ON MY BRIGHTS WHICH IS UNSAFE FOR THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON DIM, YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AT ALL. IT'S LIKE YOU ARE NOT DRIVING WITH ANY LIGHTS ON AT ALL. AFTER ONLY HAVING MY CAR 5 DAYS, I HAVE RUN OFF THE ROAD TWICE, HAD TWO PEOPLE PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SEE ME WITH LIGHTS ON DIM, AND ALMOST BEEN HIT ONCE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT MANY OWNERS ARE FACING. MY CHOICES TO DRIVE MY CAR AT TIME IS TO ONLY USE THE HIGH BEAMS WHICH BLINDS OTHER DRIVERS, RISK NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE, OR HAVE AFTERMARKET HEADLAMPS INSTALLED. CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB DID NOT WORK.
