2014 Cadillac Srx

MY 2014 CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED TO GET MORE AND MORE DIM TO THE POINT THEY ARE ALMOST UNSAFE ON LOW LEVEL (DIM). I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING SHORT OF REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT UNIT WHICH IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. AFTER READING COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE . THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. TO ME THIS IS AS BAD A SAFETY ISSUE AS AIRBAGS. THIS OCCURRED OVER A YEAR PERIOD AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

I PURCHASED THIS 2014 SRX IN APRIL OF 2017. WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF PURCHASE, NOTICED HOW DIM THE HEDLIGHT WERE, AND BECAME CONCERNED, THIS WAS NVER BROUGHT UP WITH SALESPERSON. OF COURSE, IT WAS PURCHASED IN DAYLIGHT HOURS. SALESPERSON NEVER ONCE MENTIONED THE DEFECTIVE HEADLAMP ISSUE THAT MY HUSBAND AND I FOUND SOME DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT , BUT CALLED DEALERSHP AND BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION OF US NOT BEING ABLE TO HARDLY SEE IN FRONT OF US WHILE DRIVING IN DARKENED AREAS AT NIGHT, IE, NEIGHBORHOOD,LOW TRAFFIC AREAS, COUNTRY ROADS,ETC. ...HIGHWAYS WERE WELL LIT AT NIGHT, NOT PROBLEM. CALLED AND BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED, (BUICK DEALERSHIP)SERVICE DEPT.CHECKED LIGHTS OUT,ADJUSTED THEM,FOUIND NOTHING WRONG, WE EVEN CALLED TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS/RECALLS, OH, BUT WILL REPLACE LAMPS FOR $1800.00.NO THANKS, VERY DISGUSTED AND CANNOT FIND ANYONE TO ADMIT THIS PROBLEM,SO WE ARE DEATHLY SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR SAFETY ISSUES OF KILLING OURSELVES TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE. HAVE HEARD OR READ ONLINE (?) THAT THE 2010 THROUGH 2015 WERE THE YEARS OF DEFECTIVE HEADLAMP ISSUES, BUT SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY......NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE?? I JUST WANT SOME ANSWERS, AND THIS HAPPENING ON A CADILLAC, REALLY??? VERY DISSAPPOINTED AND DISHEARTENED ABOUT THIS!!! NO HELP IN PARADISE!!! NO ONE WILL ADMIST TO THESE DEFECTIVE HEADLAMPS. NO MATTER WHERE YOU DRIVE, HOW OR WHEN, IT IS THE SAME LOW DIM LIT LIGHT, IF WE PUT OUR BRIGHTS ON, I AM AFRAID OF BEING SHOT OR PULLED OVER AND BEAT UP!! WE ARE IN OUR 70'S AND 80'S. JUST WANTED A RELIABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE, HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN CADILLACS, BUT THIS "TAKES THE CAKE". SAD IN TEXAS. (DO NOT KNOW WHAT MILEAGE WAS, BEING 3.5 YEARS AGO)

THE LOW BEAMS ON MY CAR ARE VERY DIM AND I CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED AND THE COVERS CLEANED THINKING THAT MAY BE AN ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCH, I SAW THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY INSPITE OF SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST GM.

THE HEADLIGHT RANGE ON MY 2014 SRX IS SO BAD THAT I WAS HARDLY ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING THRU THE BLACK HILLS OF SOUTH DAKOTA ON RTE 16 THIS PAST WEEKEND. THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR WITH ME NOTICED THE LACK OF LIGHT RANGE AND SUGGESTED I LOOK INTO REPLACING MY HEADLIGHTS. I WAS WHITE KNUCKLED THE ENTIRE DRIVE. IT'S A MIRACLE WE ARE STILL ALIVE.
