Moisture collects in the headlight assembly which causes the low beam headlight effectiveness to seriously reduced. The lumens projected onto the road are so low that it is almost like driving without your headlights on. This presents a serious night driving safety situation. The dealer and GM admit there is a problem with the headlight design but will do nothing to correct it.

Very bad visibility driving after dark. The headlights are very dim and it's difficult to see the road and surrounding area while driving at night. I've contacted a local auto repair shop and they stated this was a ongoing problem with the vehicle I drive. I purchased the vehicle used and no mention of the problem was given. I feel it's a safety hazard that can result in serious accidents. I currently drive using high beam which also causes a hazard. I live in a rural area with few lighted roads.

While driving my 2015 Cadillac Srx at night with my headlights on low beam the visibility is so bad that you might as well be driving with no headlights on at all. Most of the time while driving at night I have to drive with my headlights on high beams all the time because if not I cannot see anything. We have replaced the bulb in our headlights several time and this did not fix the issue. We researched and did not find a recall about this, which was surprising because this is a huge safety hazard. This happens anytime the headlights are on, whether you are driving down the road, sitting in the vehicle in the driveway or parking lot at anytime when you turn the low beams on for the headlights the remain dim and does not project light enough range of light to be able to drive safely while the low beams are in use. Very frustrating and nerve rattling.

My headlights are so dim I no longer feel safe driving at night and when I need to I drive with my brights on, which seems to upset a lot of other drivers. I have brought my vehicle to the dealership in regards to this issue and they said "yeah, we've had a lot of complaints about this but there is nothing we can do about it". why not" this is a huge safety issue! will it take a major car accident or two to get GM to fix this issue that a lot of other consumers are having" this is my first Cadillac and if this is not resolved, it will certainly be my last. I have two teenage daughters that occasionally drive my vehicle and now they cannot at night time. For the price I paid for this vehicle I expect to be driving a Cadillac that is safe and I do not think that is too much to ask to be fixed, at their cost.

The contact owns a 2015 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that the lights on the vehicle were very dim, which made it difficult to see when driving at night. Cadillac of birmingham (1677 montgomery hwy, vestavia hills, al 35216, (205) 588-4478) stated that the failure was well known and the entire lighting fixture needed to be replaced at the cost of approximately $1,800. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 28,000.

Passenger side exterior headlamp went out suddenly while traveling. It was raining and when my husband checked the lights noticed that there was a lot of moisture inside the headlights. We assumed the bulb just went out but we changed the bulb and it still didn't work. We had to travel 5 hours home hoping we could get there before dark and nervous the whole time thinking the other light would go out in the dark and possibly cause an accident. We were lucky we made it home right at dark. We still cannot get the light to work and I am afraid to drive it at night. It only has 21,000 miles on it. I started doing research and seen several issues with the exterior headlamps and I don't understand why GM or Cadillac has done a recall to have these issues fixed since it is a severe safety issue.

Lights are noticeably dim while driving in rainy weather. Visibility is more difficult at night. My passengers were asking me were my lights even on because they felt unsafe. Cadillac offered a reimbursement. I feel that this is a safety.

I purchased a used 2015 Srx Cadillac in 2017 with 26,000 miles on it. Progressively the headlamps (low beam) have gotten dimmer and dimmer to the point that I am now having to drive my car with the high beams on because I cannot see the road in front of my vehicle. The car is 4 yrs old now and has 70,000 miles. I travel frequently at night and I do not feel safe in this car now. If a person were walking along the road or a deer were to run in front of my vehicle even at an adequate distance for any other car I have ever driven, I would not see it in time to avoid an accident. I also fear running off the road because I can barely see the lines. I have contacted my dealer, and am waiting for a response. I have done a lot of research on this issue and many people are reporting this same issue with the Srx models 2010-2016. They report issues on forums and some have even experienced rollovers and ending up in ditches due to limited visibility at night. Many older people drive Cadillac and they have even had their dealership question their eyesight. There has been a class action suit about this issue, but apparently it has been dropped in all states but fl and ca. I work for a major truck manufacturer and I know that you are the government Agency to involve on such serious safety issues as this. I hope that you will look into this issue as many forums have reports of people saying GM is up for a suit if they end up having a fatal crash from the dim lighting. I have also read that GM refuses to acknowledge the issue. Even when the headlamps are replaced by the dealer, the issue is reported to return. I doubt the headlamp quality issue has ever been addressed with any kind of modification to resolve the issue by GM. Read this forum for more reports of this issue gmauthority.com/blog/forum/Cadillac-forum/. I trust your Agency will seriously examine this issue.

- Camarillo, CA, USA

The drive shaft needed to be replaced at 65,000 miles. The headlights look like they are not on at night when you are driving. There have been 2 class action lawsuits won in California and Florida for these defective headlights. I don't know why they would not include all the cars that had these headlights because they are all defective. If I would have known this I would not have bought the car. I have owned it 4 months and the touch screen cracked, driver assist seat control stopped working, the drive shaft needed to be replaced and the headlights do not look like they are on at night. I feel like I have to drive with my high beams just to see adequately and safely.

Headlights are extremely dim...very dangerous when driving on unlighted roads at night. We have to turn on the high beams in order to see the road. Recently, we had the high beams on when driving on a dark interstate, and another driver, thinking we were being careless, tried to run us off the road. I have seen the hundreds of complaints from other Srx owners about this. GM/Cadillac needs to do what is right, and issue a recall, before someone is severely injured, or killed.

- Rockwall, TX, USA

I have a 2015 Srx Cadillac with the front passenger head light very dim. It became dimmer over a period of time, causing you to not be able to see while driving at night and almost impossible to see at night during a rain storm. This is in my opinion is a major safety hazard/ issue

- Danville, WV, USA

Headlights unsafe. I bought my 2015 Srx new, and from the outset the low beam headlights were very dim. Visibility is so poor that I can't safely drive my Srx at night; my 4-year-old $50,000 Srx has only 13,000 miles on it. The dealer quoted me ~$300 to replace with non-GM bulbs but can't guaranty that the problem will be fixed and won't give me any sort of warranty on the repair--even though my Srx is still under factory warranty. In fact, every online review states that replacing the bulbs will not correct this issue. Obviously, the defect goes beyond the bulb itself. This is a major safety issue and is a known issue with the Srx. A simple google search returns thousands of customers complaining of this safety problem which GM fails or refuses to remedy. NHTSA, please intervene here and make GM permanently fix this defect, whether that means replacing the entire headlamp assembly, or new seals, or new bulbs with some sort of warranty. My safety, and that of my children and others on the road, is at great risk until this defect is corrected. [note, I had to select a date of occurrence, so I chose today's date; but this is an ongoing problem that started shortly after I purchased the vehicle in Dec. 2015 and has gotten progressively worse over time.]

When I am driving in the dark both of my headlights are extremely dim especially on the interstate. I am unable to see short distances in front of me and it has become a safety issue. I have had the bulbs replaced twice with different types of bulbs and it did not help at all.

- Charleston, SC, USA

Low beams so dim you can't see at night. Dealer reported yes it is a problem, you will have to replace entire headlight with non dealer led headlight to resolve. Tried to send me to his sons shop to resolve problem. I have replaced the bulbs with new bulbs which did not resolve. I have to drive with high beams to see at night. This is a major safety issue. Purchased car in 2018 and after researching problem see it is a problem with all Srx not just mine. Cadillac dealer won't repair/replace or fix problem.

Headlights are very dim on highway. According to gerry lane Cadillac service center, 10945 reiger road, baton rouge, la 70809, 225-297-5377, replacing bulb will make only minor improvements. Bulb projector lenses are cloudy. According to dealership, it is a common problem for the vehicle model. It requires replacement of both headlamp assemblies. According to the dealership, all owners should have received a certificate to pay for replacement of assemblies. I did not.
