2015 Cadillac Srx

2015 CADILLAC FRONT LIGHTS VERY POOR, DIM. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, CHARGED US $188 TO "DIAGNOSE" WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS OBVIOUS, THEY WERE CLOUDY. THEN CHARGED US $1774 WE HAD NO CHOICE, LIGHTS WERE DISASSEMBLED, WE NEEDED TO SEE AT NIGHT! NOTE THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHERS GETTING SAME REPAIR RIGHT THERE AT SAME TIME. I WAS ANGRY, DEALERSHIP HAD A "BUTTON" BUILT IN ON COMPUTER TO GET FINANCIAL CREDIT FROM GM, OBVIOUSLY THIS HAPPENS OFTEN. THE CREDIT WAS $800 AUTOMATICALLY,(WE THEN PAID NET $974. )I WANT ALL TO BE REPLACED AND CREDITED. I CALLED GM, THEY ALLEGEDLY CONTACTED CADILLAC AND THEY SAID WOULD NOT HELP US. GM SENIOR REP ADMITTED THIS IS A PROBLEM, HAPPENS OFTEN 2015 MODEL. THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY IS A RECALL ISSUE!. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE US $188 (DIAGNOSE) AND NOT FIX IT, OR $1774 TO REPLACE/PUT BACK TOGETHER. GM SENIOR REP SAID WE SHOULDN'T HAVE PAID, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO GET IT SOLVED IF WE DIDNT PAY. WHAT? WE HAD TO SEE! THE LIGHTS WERE IN PIECES, WE HAD TO PAY $188 IF WE DIDNT REPLACE IT AND PAY FOR IT. WE HAD NO CHOICE. PLEASE HELP US GET FULL REIMBURSEMENT THIS IS VERY OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THESE 2015 SRX. THIS TREATMENT AND CHARGES TO REPLACE WAS OUTRAGEOUS. OUR CAR JUST GOT OUT OF WARRANTY BTW, AND ONLY HAS 47,600 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE ANOTHER CAR 11 YEARS OLD, LIGHTS ARE FINE, WE HAD ANOTHER CAR FOR 20 YEARS NEVER REPLACED FRONT LIGHTS. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE PURE AND SIMPLE, VERY UNSAFE. WE HAD TO USE BRIGHTS BEFORE REPLACE.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN NOVEMBER 2018 FROM THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALER. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT AT NIGHT PRIOR TO TAKING A TRIP IN DECEMBER 2018 WHEN I LEFT EARLY IN THE MORNING IN A RAINSTORM. I WAS SHOCKED THAT I COULDN'T SEE A THING AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE RAIN. LATER I DISCOVERED IT WAS THE HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE EXTREMELY DIM. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CADILLAC DEALER WHO KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AFFECTING THIS YEAR AND OTHER SRX MODELS. THEY SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE ENTIRE HOUSING, ETC BUT THAT THE PROBLEM COMES BACK. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLACE WITH HALOGEN OR OTHER AFTER MARKET PARTS SINCE THEY ARE NOT CADILLAC PARTS. THEY ASKED THAT I LET THEM KNOW IF HALOGEN LIGHTS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM IF I GO THAT ROUTE. HOW ON EARTH COULD THIS CAR NOT BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM? THIS SITUATION IS JUST PLAIN DANGEROUS AND CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN AT NIGHT WHEN LIGHTS ARE NEEDED!!

THE LOW BEAMS ON THIS VEHICLE CREATE A DRIVING HAZARD AT NIGHT. THERE LITERALLY ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS JUST BY DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH. SEE ALSO CARPROBLEMZOO.COM GM/CADILLAC HAS NO FIX. THE LIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT PROPERLY AND IN DARK AREAS YOU CAN'T TELL AT TIMES THAT THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I REPLACED THE HALOGEN LIGHTS WITH NEW HALOGENS AND NO DIFFERENCE. I THEN UPGRADED HALOGENS TO LED BULBS WITH A MINIMAL FIX. PLEASE TAKE THESE ISSUES SERIOUSLY. PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN ONLINE THAT THEY CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE ONLY SAFE MEASURE IS TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE. THIS PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC WITH THE LUXURY EDITION CADILLAC SRX. I THINK IT'S THE LENS OR ELECTRICAL. I THINK THIS IS THE REASON THAT THE 2016 SRX HAS HID HEADLIGHTS. NUMEROUS WEBSITES INDICATE COMPLAINTS FROM DRIVERS WHO SAY THAT THE CADILLAC DEALERSHIPS ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BUT ALSO SAY THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A FIX. DEALERSHIPS WANT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS UP TO OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX IT, BUT THEY ALSO STATE THAT THE FIX MIGHT NOT WORK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. IT IS TRULY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HOLD GM ACCOUNTABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN DRIVING. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AND TO SEE PEOPLE WALKING ACROSS THE STREET AND TO SEE PAINT LINES. THE LIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT SOLIDLY AND WIDELY AS DO OTHER MAKES OF VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I AM TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 2/2/19 TO ASK THEM TO ASSESS THE SITUATION.

PURCHASED FACTORY CERTIFIED 2015 CADILLAC SRX 11/2018. IN 12/2018 ONE DIM HEADLIGHT STOPPED WORKING. IN 1/2018 2ND DIM HEADLIGHT QUIT WORKING MAKIN IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WITHOUT BRIGHT LIGHTS. FOG LAMPS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. TRULY A SAFETY MATTER. SEARCH OF INTERNET SHOWS MANY OTHER SRX'S WITH SAME PROBLEM WITH NO FACTORY FIX. CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN CALIFORNIA ONLY. PROBLEM IS MOISTURE ENTERING HOUSING WHERE BULBS ARE MOUNTED. CADILLAC DEALER COULD NOT STATE WHY DIM HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS DON'T WORK. MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS WHEN BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS CAN'T BE USED. DIM HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2015 CADILLAC SRX LUXURY CROSSOVER SUV (50,000 MILES). I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THAT THE HEADLIGHTS BARELY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CADILLAC DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL THAT INFORMED ME THAT THIS ISSUE WAS SYSTEMIC THROUGHOUT THE 2010-2015 YEAR SRX MODELS. THIS PROBLEM IS SO CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT SUCH SIMILAR MODELS, AND YET I AM SUPPOSE TO SHELL OUT $1300 TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE? I AM WILLING TO PAY TO REPLACE THE LAMPS BUT GM NEEDS TO DO THEIR PART AND FIX THE FAULTY COMPONENT (THAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY) THAT IS CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

PURCHASED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN GA FRONT HEADLIGHTS SEEMED TO BE WORKING AT NIGHT, NOTICED THEY WERE VERY DIM, BUT CONTINUED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ALTERNATING BRIGHTS. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP RECENTLY AFTER ALMOST BEING HIT AT NIGHT AND ONCE IN THE RAIN, A CAR TURNED IN FRONT OF ME TWICE AT NIGHT LIKE THEY DIDN'T EVEN SEE ME BECAUSE NOW I REALIZE THEY COULDN'T! I WAS TOLD WHOLE SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BEFORE MECHANIC EVEN LOOKED AT VEHICLE. GOOGLED SRX HEADLIGHT ISSUE AND CAME UP WITH LAWSUIT INFO BECAUSE OF THIS SAME SITUATION. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND MUST USE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS, WHICH CAUSES OTHER CARS NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE. THE DEALER GAVE ME A QUOTE FOR 1400 DOLLARS FOR REPAIR WHICH I REFUSE TO PAY.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE AROUND OR IN FRONT OF ME WITHOUT USING MY HIGH BEAMS, ITS VERY DANGEROUS. I FEEL THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND CADILLAC HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, I ALSO READ THAT THERE WAS CLASS ACTION SUITS IN FLORDIA AND CALIFORNIA BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.
