2012 cadillac srx hid headlights have seemed to burn out with no firther issues. On high beam the lights are fine but on regular beam at night I cannot see ahead of me recently and it is a major safety issue and cadillac somesnt seem to believe this is a defect issue but something that happens. However it is my understanding after speaking with other certified mechanics that hid's do not just burn out so there has to be other issues that may need to be addressed by the maker. Also at interims after I try to accelerate, the vehicle will stall which causes me to have to remove my foot from the gas and try again. After bringing this to the dealers attention I was told it was because of the computer trying to keep up and this is what may create this issue which is definitely potentially life threatening and definitely needs to be addressed
2012 Cadillac SRX lights complaints
Page 9 of 9: complaints 221 to 234 of 234, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My wife and I were returning home from an patriotic concert when we loss the headlight on the drivers side of the vehicle and the check left low beam headlight warning displayed in the driver's information display. When we got home I noticed the driver's side headlight assembly had moisture in it and the light was not functioning. I took the vehicle to the deal for repairs. I was told the light needed to be replaced and that I may want to replace the light assembly because moisture in the light assembly is a known issue and the light could fail again if the assembly isn't replaced. I asked if the problem was a know issue; the service manager say it happens every so often. I told her to order the light assembly. When I got home I googled the problem. It appears this is a known problem on the srx that goes back to 2010 srxs. I believe this is a safety issue due the possibility of losing both heads in an inopportune time and cadillac should address the issue immediately. 95 problems reported; no deaths yet.
Vehicle low beam/daytime running lights illumination does not allow you to see the road at night making it a severe safety hazard.
The low beam driving lights are very dim. We can barely see the road and would not see a person walking on the side of the road or any type of street sign or information signage.
Low beam headlamps are disfunctional. They are so dim, you cannot drive the vehicle at night without the aide of the high beam headlamps.
Headlights, especially the left, tend to have leaks which causes condensation which leads to bulb failure. Warning reads "check left lower bulb" anytime after rain..
Dim light always happen when ever driving at night and we must use bright headlights to see.
Low beam headlights do not illuminate properly. Very difficult to see at night without using high beams.
Headlights low beam headlight is very poor. Very difficult to see and is very dangerous.
