MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. ONE LIGHT SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE WORSE THAN THE OTHER ONE. THEY ARE DEFINITELY UNSAFE. IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THESE VEHICLES. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT GM WAS AWARE OF THE FAULTY PART (HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WITH POOR QUALITY SEALS) AND WOULD REIMBURSE ME UP TO $1600 FOR REPLACING THEM WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CADILLAC THAT OFFERED THE REIMBURSEMENT IN EXCHANGE FOR WAIVING ANY FUTURE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. ON MARCH 30, 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH A CURB, I HIT A PIECE OF WOOD THAT I COULDN'T SEE BECAUSE OF THE DIM HEADLIGHTS. HITTING THE WOOD CAUSED THE CAR TO VEER INTO THE CURB CAUSING OVER $4000 DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. WHILE LOOKING FOR A POSSIBLE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS MODEL CADILLAC COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND THAT GM/CADILLAC HAS SETTLED CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM/CADILLAC IS AWARE OF YET THEY ARE NOT OFFERING THE OWNERS A LASTING REMEDY FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS. I HAVE PICTURES AND ESTIMATES FOR THE DAMAGES BUT AM UNABLE TO SCAN INTO THIS COMPUTER. I CAN SEND THEM SEPARATELY FROM MY PHONE. IF NEEDED, EMAIL ME.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WITH NOT ONLY THE LINES IN THE ROAD, BUT ANYTHING IN THE ROAD! THIS IS THE MOST UNSAFE VEHICLE I'VE EVER DRIVEN. WHEN I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHTS TO NAVIGATE MY WAY, OBVIOUSLY THOSE VEHICLES WHO PASS ME...AS WERE AS THOSE IN FRONT OF ME ( LESS THAN 200 FEET) GET ANGRY. THEY DONT REALIZE THAT IT'S MORE DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS OFF! I HAD OTHER PEOPLE TRY DRIVING IT AS WELL BOTH IN TOWN, AND RURAL ROADS AND THE CLOSEST HIGHWAY....AND EVERY PERSON HAD THE EXACT SAME RESULTS. A BEAUTIFUL CAR WITH LEMON HEADLIGHTS! I'VE HAD THIS CAR 3 WEEKS AND AM LIVID THAT NOBODY AT THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR! I HAD GONE THROUGH CONSUMER REPORTS, BLUE BOOK VALUES ET ....I THOUGHT THAT I HAD ADEQUATELY DONE MY RESEARCH! THEN... I GOOGLED 2015 CADILLAC SRX HEADLIGHTS ! THE INFORMATION WAS ALL THERE...HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. CLASS ACTION SUITS AND A RECALL ON THEM IN CALIFORNIA! SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED DUE TO THESE LIGHTS.
