2016 Cadillac Srx

THE LOW BEAMS ON MY 2016 CADILLAC ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT IS A LUXURY MODEL WITH NO FOG LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE THE CORRECTED BY GM/CADILLAC AND NOT THE OWNER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND IS CAUSING SERIOUS ISSUES WITH MANY SRX OWNERS. PREVIOUS YEARS ARE COVERED BY A RECALL, FOR SOME REASON THIS IS NOT.

MY HEAD LIGHTS DON'T WORK GOOD AT ALL AND I HAVE GOT STOPPED BY POLICE SEVERAL TIMES AN GOT A TICKET FOR BRIGHT LIGHTING AND STOPPED FOR DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS ON WHEN I HAD DEM ON BUT THE POLICE COULDN'T EVEN TELL I HAD ANY ON AND I HAVE CALLED CADILLAC ON MANY OCCASIONS AND ALL THEY SAY IS THEY CAN'T FIX THEM UNDER A RECALL THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY 3000 TO $3500 TO HAVE THEM FIXED, SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY NOT JUST LIGHTS AND I THINK THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS ON DIM AND I AM TIRED OF GETTING TICKETS FOR THE LIGHTS BEING ON BRIGHT SND WHEN YOU PAY OVER $45 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A VEHICLE YOU WOULD THINK CADILLAC WOULD FIX IT AND IT WOULD BE THERE RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR IT

GRADUAL DIMMING OF HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS OVER TIME, MAKING THEM COMPLETELY USELESS & UNSAFE AT NIGHT. MUST DRIVE USING HIGH BEAMS AT ALL TIMES. SAFETY HAZARD. (SAME ISSUE AS GM 2010-15 MODEL LITIGATION). REQUIRED TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY $2200. CONTACTED GM, WHO CONFIRMED THERE IS NOT YET A RECALL OR LAWSUIT TO REIMBURSE FOR 2016 OR LATER MODEL REPAIRS FOR THE SAME KNOWN HEADLIGHT FAILURE AS EARLIER MODELS.

LIGHTING ASSEMBLY ON THIS VEHICLE CAUSES VERY DIM LIGHTING THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO LIMIT MY DRIVING TO DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY AS A FULL-TIME UBER DRIVER WHICH PLACES RESTRICTIONS ON MY EARNINGS. I ALSO AM UNABLE TO LIST THIS VEHICLE ON TURO FOR RENTAL BECAUSE IT WOULD BE UNSAFE FOR RENTAL DRIVERS. THEIR IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE DIM LIGHTING IN THESE VEHICLES.

THERE HAS BEEN A GRADUAL DECREASE IN THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LOW BEAMS ON THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF IT AND DOESN'T DRIVE IT TOO MUCH AT NIGHT, BUT I WAS DRIVING IT RECENTLY AND NOTICED HOW POOR THE LIGHTING IS AT NIGHT, IN PARTICULAR ON WET ROADS. IT IS TO THE POINT THAT VISIBILITY IS NOT THAT FAR IN FRONT. IF A PERSON OR ANIMAL WAS ON THE ROAD, IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE SEEN UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST UPON IT. HIGH BEAMS ARE NOT A PROBLEM. THERE IS NO PARTICULAR MOMENT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED - IT'S BEEN OVER TIME. FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH SRX'S.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER AS TIME GOES ON. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES, BUT I STARTED NOTICING AT LEAST 5,000 MILES AGO THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT THAT IT APPEARED AS IF I BARELY HAD ANY HEADLIGHTS SHINING IN FRONT OF ME. I WOULD TURN THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN, THINKING THEY WERE OFF BUT COULD BARELY TELL THE DIFFERENCE. WHEN I TURN CORNERS, I COULDN'T SEE WHERE THE ROAD WAS OR CURBS AND HAD TO ROLL DOWN MY DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGER WINDOWS TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND TO AVOID MISSING ROAD OR HITTING SOMETHING. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2010-2015 SRX HEADLIGHTS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM - UPWARDS OF 300,000 VEHICLES INVOLVED. CADILLAC AGREED TO REPLACE THOSE HEADLIGHTS, BUT USED THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF HEADLIGHT FOR THE REPLACEMENTS AND PEOPLE ARE AGAIN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM...... LIGHTS DIMMING OVER TIME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT NOW AS IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I FEEL MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME AS THAT BLINDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND CREATES ANOTHER HAZARD. HTTPS://CADILLACSOCIETY.COM/2020/03/10/OWNERS-CONTINUE-TO-STRUGGLE-WITH-CADILLAC-SRX-HEADLIGHTS/ I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER BUT LO AND BEHOLD, IT DOESN'T COVER HEADLIGHTS WHICH I WAS TOLD BY CADILLAC DEALER THAT THEY WERE $900 APIECE.

MY 2016 SRX CADILLAC. THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT. IT'S NOT SAFE. I CAN NOT SEE AT ALL ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT. I READ THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT AND A REIMBURSEMENT OVER THIS BUT THAT I MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR IT. I NEVER KNEW OR RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING TO CALL SRX CADILLACS. NOT JUST MINE
