2015 Cadillac Srx

The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH at night, he was unable to properly see the roadway while using the headlights. The contact stated that he replaced the bulbs in the headlights but continued to experience the failure. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

The headlights on my 2015 SRX are faulty--even GM admits it. They are so dim that it is dangerous to drive at night unless I keep my high beams on at all times, which is dangerous to other drivers. Without the high beams on at night, the reduced headlight performance prevents me from seeing more than 5 feet in front of my car. There was no warning--the lights simply dimmed to the point where I thought I didn't turn them on--but they are automatic on, just dim. The dealer has told me I need to fix the entire headlight assembly, at a cost of $2800.

I have extremely dim headlights. I have to drive with my high beams on but they are dim as well. I had the dealership look at the lights and was told that the bulbs are fine but there is a known issue with the seal and water getting in and corroding the lens so the light can't pass thru. I was told Cadillac won't recall it but know about it and it will cost me $2600 to replace the entire assembly. I was also told it won't pass inspection like this. I can barely see and that is a huge safety issue for me. I struggle to drive at night. I work in downtown Houston and drive over an hour up and back. I drive home in the dark and am struggling to see to drive. Im a single mom of two...$2600 is just not possible for me. In addition I was told by the service team that when they first found out about this...they offered discounts but you had to pay in full first, then file a claim but they are not offering discounts any longer. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHEN I DRIVE! This is not just a repair. This is a factory defect that should be fixed immediately under a recall. I will put today's date on the when, but my lights have gotten dimmer and dimmer over 2 years and now are dangerously dim.

The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, a squeaking noise was present coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the front brake pads and rotors, but the failure continued. Additionally, while driving at night with the low beam headlights activated, the headlights were extremely dim, making visibility extremely difficult while driving. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 40,700.

Since I purchased this car secondhand, the headlights are very dim at night, and it is unable to see in the dark, unless if I have my highbeams on which is a big safety hazard. The class action act expired by the time I purchase a vehicle, and I was unaware of this at the purchase of the vehicle. I have been in contact with two different aftermarket warranty companies, and they are refusing to cover it, in contact with Cadillac and oh, they suggested it was an aftermarket warranty. I have been unable to get coverage for something I believe I should since it is a safety hazard and that is not anything at my fault.

The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac SRX. The contact stated that while driving at night with the headlights activated, the illumination from the headlights were very dim causing a difficulty with seeing the roadway. The contact also stated that she was unable to view objects unless they were within 10 to 20 feet of the vehicle. The failure almost caused the contact to crash into an outdoor trash can that was on a street curb. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated. The contact was then made aware that a satisfaction program for the headlights had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that the satisfaction program had expired. The approximate failure mileage was 42,400.

Low Beam Headlights are extremely dim and do not safely light road for night time driving. Took automobile into Cadillac Dealership and requested that headlights be tested. Mechanic documented that both headlights were below standards and recommended that both headlight assemblies be replaced. The Dealership mechanic explained that simple replacement of light bulb would not remedy problem and that the entire headlight assembly needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,200 EACH. My local mechanic has confirmed that he has tried to replace only light bulbs on other SRX's and all types of light bulbs have failed to increase the light intensity. This is definitely either an engineering and/or manufacturing defect where a car owner needs to spend over $2,300 to obtain adequate safe headlight lighting. The Cadillac SRX is a very popular model and being a model under 10 years old there are many drivers out on the roads driving at night with unsafe lighting being provided by their OEM automobile. I request that a recall be issued for this significant safely issue.
