General Motors have agreed they have problems with issues of moisture accumulating in their headlight capsules on 2010-2015 Srx's. GM has agreed only to reimburse customers in ca and fl due to suits brought against them by these 2 states. I called GM and was advised my VIN # was not on the reimbursement list because it was made in ca or fl. I have paid a total of $2030.22 to have my headlights repaired from moisture. The first one was covered under warranty, so only had to pay $473.22 on 10/07/15. The second one was replace 8/4/2017 for $1,557.
