2015 Cadillac Srx

Headlamp mechanism defect. Running headlights are so dim, I can barely see the road at night. My car only has 37,000 miles on it. However, I did notice that the headlights seemed very dim the past few months and was trying to figure out if it was a setting issue (automatic/manual/etc.) or actual headlamp issue. Nothing worked. I decided to checked online for headlamp issues, I see that there has been an ongoing issue with many people regarding the defective Cadillac headlamp issue. The lighting mechanism is defective and lets moisture accumulate inside the unit, causing corrosion to the lighting system. Other people having the same problem have been unable to seek restitution at this time. I went to my dealership and presented the problem to them. They agreed the headlamp units were failing and needed replacement; however, it would not be covered under any recall or my bumper- to-bumper extended warranty. I found out that GM stopped making restitution in June 2022. In reviewing online complaints, this problem has been going on for quite some time in 2015-2020 Cadillacs. If this is a recurring problem due to defective parts, why is it not covered, and how can they justify no longer giving any type of restitution? Shouldn't there be reimbursement/replacement (RECALL) to anyone and everyone with this problem?

Headlamp mechanism defect. Running headlights were so dim, I could barely see the road at night. My car only has 65,000 miles on it and I rarely drive at night. However, I did notice that the headlights seemed very dim the past few months and was trying to figure out if it was a setting issue (automatic/manual/etc.) or actual headlamp issue. Nothing worked. When I made a 100 mile drive in the dark, I had virtually no headlights. It was very scary and dangerous. When we checked online for headlamp issues, I see that there has been an ongoing issue with many people regarding the defective Cadillac headlamp issue. The lighting mechanism is defective and lets moisture accumulate inside the unit, causing corrosion to the lighting system. I see some people have been reimbursed $800(+/-) for replacement of those headlamps (EACH headlamp part cost me $900). Other people having the same problem have been unable to seek restitution. I went to my dealership and presented the problem to them. They agreed the headlamp units were failing and needed replacement; however, it would not be covered under any recall or my bumper- to-bumper extended warranty. I ended up having to paying $2,500 for this repair of defective parts. They suggested I call GM. I did. GM said they stopped making restitution in June 2022. They offered a $100 oil change certificate. In reviewing online complaints, this problem has been going on for quite some time in 2015-2020 Cadillacs.

The dim headlights must lose their reflective material around them as they get dimmer with age. I've replaced the headlight bulbs with stock headlight dim bulbs and there wasn't any improvement in visibility. I then replaced the bulbs with the brightest ones NAPA has and minimal improvement. I asked my car mechanic about this and he said they are known for this. He had just replaced the whole assembly for one two days prior to my coming in. Replacement cost $2000 with still having this defect occur again. The bright headlights work excellent. Makes it hard to drive with any visibility at night. Please review this safety issue.

There was a defective light headlamp recall issued in year 2020 for my vehicle 2015 SRX Cadillac. This was during the COVID pandemic. The recall started around March 2020 and ended June 2020. I was affected by COVID 19 as many were and I missed that window by a couple weeks. There was a noticeable dimming with my headlamps when driving at night. This issue has threatened me and my family putting our lives at risk. I took my vehicle back to Steve Foley Cadillac where I purchased it and it was confirmed that the headlamps were defective and needed replacement. Management in parts department told me I had to contact GM to get their approval to replace my headlamps in writing or I would have to pay out of pocket (2000.00 +) because the recall had expired by a couple weeks prior to getting my vehicle in for inspection. I continued to reach out to GM with many phone calls thru emails and texts they continued to say someone will call me back or e-mail me but it never happened. The safety and care of customers should never be compromised or ignored when catastrophic outcomes are present.

Headlights grew dimmer and dimmer, creating a serious danger for night-time driving. The problem was confirmed by the local dealer. Both front headlight assemblies were replaced by the dealer at a cost of $2,460. The problem appeared over 2 years ago, but it gradually deteriorated, especially since the vehicle was a second car and not driven often at night. No warning lamps or symptoms until one night we were on the highway and realized it was a huge, scary safety issue as we were not visible to other drivers on the highway, and vice versa.
