2015 Cadillac Srx

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2018 AND NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED DIM. THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS JUST STILL ADJUSTING TO NEW CAR. WENT ON HIGHWAY EARLY IN THE MORNING ONE DAY BEFORE SUNUP AND REALLY COULD NOT SEE.. THOUGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED. THEY WERE ON BUT JUST VERY DIM. DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $1800. AFTER I SENT THEM COPIES OF ARTICLES I HAD READ ABOUT THESE LAWSUITS BY OTHER PEOPLE, THEY AGREED TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS FOR FREE. MY CONCERN IS IT WILL NOT WORK OR IT WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN IN TIME... AS SOME OTHERS HAVE INDICATED. THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. WHILE DRIVING AFTER DUSK, THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTO DIMMING FEATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOYD CHEVROLET CADILLAC BUICK (LOCATED AT 1875 SPARTANBURG HWY, HENDERSONVILLE, NC 28792, (828) 693-3461) AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO ADJUST THE HEADLAMPS UPWARDS TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ADJUSTMENT FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE AND POTENTIALLY MADE IT WORSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY SRX BECAME VERY DIM VERY QUICKLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH OF MY OWN, IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP ON 10/1. THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT SOMEHOW THE LENS WAS BAD. WAS GOING TO COST $1600+ TO REPAIR. I HAD TO WAIT TO DO THAT, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, STARTED DOING MY OWN RESEARCH. I FOUND A FEW CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN. MY WARRANTY FOR THAT RAN OUT AT 50,275 MILES. THE PROBLEM WAS THERE PRIOR TO THAT MILEAGE. I HONESTLY THOUGHT MY EYES WERE STARTING TO GO BAD AT NIGHT, BUT MY FAMILY NOTICED IT TOO WHEN WE WERE ALL DRIVING TOGETHER ONE EVENING, SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT CADILLAC ISN'T DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. AT THIS POINT, IF I GET IT FIXED, THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME HEADLIGHTS, AS THEY HAVEN'T MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE DESIGN OF THE PIECE FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. SO, THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. CADILLAC/GM REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS.THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THEY APPEAR TO BE TURNED OFF. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AT NIGHT. THE CAR IS IN COVERED PARKING WITH 43,000 MILES. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE NIGHT DRIVING AND THE ONLY WAY TO SEE WAS TO USE BRIGHT BEAMS. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS DEFECT. GM NOT ACKNOWLEDGING VIA RECALL BUT SEE ALL ON INTERNET ACROSS COUNTRY WITH SAME PROBLEM ON THIS CAR YEARS 2010-2015. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE WHEN IT IS DARK. I ATTEMPTED TO THIS MORNING AS I NEEDED TO COME IN TO WORK EARLY AND NEARLY WRECKED. I HAD TO PULL OVER OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAIT FOR DAYLIGHT. I KNEW THEY WERE DIM AND BECAUSE OF THAT TRY TO NEVER DRIVE AT NIGHT BUT IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT I OWN A VEHICLE I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE AT DARK.

I HAVE NOTICED FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS OF THE 3 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE 2015 CADILLAC SRX THAT THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS ARE TO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A SERVE SAFETY ISSUE. THE HEADLAMPS THROW NOW RECOGNIZABLE LIGHT ON THE ROAD. THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND HAVE NO DIRECTIONAL ISSUES. CALLS TO MULTIPLE GM DEALERSHIPS AND THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE MET WITH THE RESPONSE OF NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ISSUES OR LIKE COMPLAINTS. MY VEHICLE SHOWED NOW EVIDENCE OF PLASTIC LENS DEGRADATION, NOR YELLOWING, NOR CONDENSATION. MULTIPLE FORUMS REPORT THE PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AT APPROPRIATE LEVELS TO SEE SAFELY. TOOK THE CAR TO SCRANTON GMC/CHEVY IN VERNON, CT AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD IT FOR A DAY, AND RETURNED IT SAYING THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE HEADLIGHTS BUT HAD NO PAPERWORK FOR ME TO SIGN OR HAVE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD CALLED GM IN REGARDS TO THIS. KNOWING THERE ARE ALREADY CLASS ACTION SUITS OUT THERE AND THEM NOT EVEN WRITING THIS UP LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO SUPPRESS THE REPORTING OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TROUBLE SEEING WITH MY LOW BEAMS, AND IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM , SO DIM I THOUGHT THE LEFT ONE WAS OUT COMPLETELY. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DISCOLORED WITH CONDENSATION. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT COMING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING MY HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. I TOOK MY CAR TO PLAZA CADILLAC IN LEESBURG, FL. THEY REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS WITH NEW ONES. I AM PLEASED THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE HEADLIGHT DEFECT AND FAILURE BUT AM REPORTING IT BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I HAVE READ OF OTHERS THAT ARE BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AND BEING CHARGED FOR A FLAW THAT IS DANGEROUS AND GM SHOULD OWN UP TO AND REPLACE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY CADILLAC, PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM AND FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. THE FAILURE PREVENTED CLEAR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING; THEREFORE, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PIKERTON CHEVROLET (925 NORTH ELECTRIC ROAD, SALEM, VIRGINIA 24153, (800) 813-5960), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.
