Lights dim almost cause me to crash. Now one not working seems like a lot of issues with this vehicle. Is it to get the nearly $500 repair cost? Fix the problem thousands complaining, it's an obvious flaw. Not fair . This is very dangerous will this only be fixed after a tragedy?
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 cadillac srx. The contact stated that the headlights were extremely dim, which made it difficult for the contact to see the road at night. The vehicle was taken to sheehan cadillac (5101 n federal hwy, pompano beach, fl 33064) where it was diagnosed that the headlight assembly needed to be replaced and the vehicle was no longer included under warranty. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 67,058.
Headlights fill up with condensation and prevent driving at night or weather with decreased visibility because they don't work.
Vehicle headlights dim
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 cadillac srx. The contact stated that the headlights retained rain water and failed to illuminate while driving at night. The vehicle was taken to dutton cadillac of riverside (located at 8201 auto dr, #101, riverside, ca 92504), (951) 842-2566), but was not diagnosed or repaired due to the fees. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
The headlight on this car will not work properly. Have had bulbs replaced twice. Dealership state seals are bad and need replaced. Charging over 2000.00 for this. There is water inside both headlights. The bright lights will work, but not the regular lights. What recourse do we have?
When driving at night with lights on dim you can barely see anything. In order to be able to see anything lights must be on bright, if meeting another driver this makes for a possible hostile interaction as the approaching driver is blinded by the brightness of lights. I took my car to shop only to be informed it is a defect with this model vehicle starting with 2010 models. I was told the price starts at around $1000.00 for a replacement clip with the probability that lights will do same thing😯. Lights are not blown but instead it is a defect of manufacturer. This needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Night driving is a must for some of us and the feeling of not being able to see very well with lights on dim or making other drivers mad and possibly resulting in an act of road rage makes us feel very unsafe. I have been a cadillac driver all my life and feel this should be addressed as soon as possible . We should not be held responsible for trying to fix something that in all honesty is not our fault and will only result in spending money that is only going toward a temporary fix still. Please make this right.
Headlight assembly on driver side is faulty, replacements from gm are not guaranteed. After replacing numerous bulbs at owner expense, bulb will dim, or burn out leaving driver in a dangerous situation at night.
My headlight assembly holds condensation and my lights are dim. Occurred driving at night.
Headlights go dim to almost all the way off have changed bulbs twice, after a couple of weeks lights go dim again
Headlights very dim, not safe at night, scared to drive.
Moister completely filled passenger headlight assembly so it failed state inspection.
Low beam headlights are very dim and dangerous to drive at night. Sunroof leaks water, third brake light out and back up camera stop working.
Both headlights have moisture and right headlight failed while driving. Gm is well aware of this defect. The light failing while driving is a safety issue. Gm will replace light for 1400.00 dollars, but the replacement has the same defect. They need to be recalled and fixed.
Headlights very low. Can't see road at night . On coming vechicles honk their horn at you cause they think your lights are off. Have to drive on high beams. Keep having to replace bulbs.
The low beam headlights are extremely dim, unable to drive safely at night at all. I have replaced the bulbs, but there is not enough power going to the headlights. I think this is due to faulty headlights that allow moisture to get in and have damaged the lighting housing.
Moister completely filled both headlight assemblies and the left headlight doesn't aluminate now. This is a safty hazard.
The left and right headlight assemblies retain moisture or condensation then the lights fail to come on for night time operation causing local law enforcement to pull me over.
After a rainy day, I got into my 2011 cadillac srx to head home from work. I was driving down the road when both headlights went out. Ii was lucky that I did not wreck or someone didn't hit me!!! I had this diagnosed at a certified cadillac dealership and the problem is faulty seals on the light assembly housing. It will cost 2959.90 to get this problem fixed, however in reading on line, the replacements aren't any better than what I have on it right now.
In august 2018, I purchased this 2011 cadillac srx. After diving the vehicle at night I noticed how dim the low beam headlights are. It is extremely difficult to see on unlit roads and very dangerous as other drivers have a difficult time seeing me as well. I resorted to using my hi-beams. After these incidents I inspected the headlights and found that both lights have accumulated condensation in the interior. I consulted the owners manual which honestly didn't help much. I have since research this problem on line to find this has been an on going problem since 2010. As a maker of luxury vehicles cadillac should correct this dangerous problem.
My headlights are full of condensation. The lights are now so dim that I can only drive at night using the brights. So incredibly dangerous..estimate to repair is $1500.00
The headlight assembly seal is very weak and shorts out the entire headlight. Its $1500+ to replace and it appears that gm is just going to ignore this problem. My car that I am still paying for has to stay parked because I cant afford to fix this headlight.
Low beam headlights, illuminate at dangerously low levels. It makes it very hard to drive at night making very dangerous driving conditions. To see at night, I often have to drive with my high beams on, which is very dangerous for oncoming traffic.
The headlights are very dim, after replacing both bulbs. The headlights are accumulating moisture and now have went completely out. This is a problem well known with this vehicle
Both headlights are dim even after putting new headlight bulbs in. One headlight has also accumulated moisture from the weather which has caused a yellow tint which also dims the lighting. I have to use my high beams to see turns which is dangerous for me and other drivers. The fact that I put new bulbs in and still can't see when I'm driving is a huge problem and I fear an accident could happen because of this fault.
Headlight assembly has moisture problem causing headlights to fail. Driving at night with dim or failed headlights is extremely dangerous and will cause accidents and likely deaths. Cannot see roadway, oncoming cars or pedestrians dealership indicated that replacement parts have the same problem.
Takata recall- my drivers side headlight went out. I went to have it fixed and the mechanic replaced the baullist. After approximately 10 days the light went out again. Upon returning to the mechanic and some investigation I found that this is an unresolved problem with this make and model of cadillacs. The manufacturer is automatically wanting the consumer to replace the entire headlight assembly at a cost of approximately 1,300 dollars. Most people don't have that lying around! It becomes a safety issue because the expense is keeping owners from immediately replacing the defective part consequently causing people to drive without the proper lighting. Please investigate this. I am happy to provide any necessary documentation as well as speak to anyone regarding this. This is an unfair practice from cadillac and will ultimately cost them business. It could even cost people their lives.
The headlights quit working when I was driving during the evening rush hour. Lights worked when I turned the engine off through the lighting safety delay so I know the headlights are okay. There is so much moisture inside the headlight lens that I'm sure this is a moisture problem. This car is a piece of junk and gm should be ashamed for not providing owners relief especially when these cars cost so much. Can't believe there isn't a recall on this problem. This is just one of many issues with this car.
My headlights have developed a film making it difficult to see at night
