My headlights are so dim it looks like I don’t have headlights until I do bright lights. I literally have to drive with bright lights all the time at night. Found this out on [XXX] while trying to get home from Land O Lakes, FL. I don’t do much night driving but at [XXX] I should be able to see.

HEADLIGHTS!!! The headlights are so dim that other drivers flash me, honk at me or yell at me to turn my lights on when driving at night. When driving at night It is the same as driving without my headlights on. I have to use the high beams to drive at night. I changed the fuses, changed 1 of the bulbs and still no difference. The whole headlight housing needs to be changed. Here is a link to a gentleman who did the work to find out why Cadillac SRX's seem to be having this issue: [XXX] . Please, we need a recall to fix the headlights. This is a safety issue for me driving at night as well as anyone else on the road who can't see me.

The headlights are ineffective. It is like driving without headlights at night. Had bulbs replaced but did not improve lighting. Moisture on inside of windshield. On cold evenings the inside of the windshield is frozen. March 21, 2024 the tailgate will not open. It appears this is a common complaint with this vehicle caused by drainage from the sunroof leaking onto the module that powers the tailgate.

There is a known safety issue with the factory headlights as they are far too deem at night. Unsafe to drive. I had to pay money out of my pocket to replace the headlights as Cadillac no longer replaces them. There should be a permanent recall and coverage for this. Please investigate this issue as this should not be something an owner should have to pay when it clearly is an issue with the manufacturer.

The headlamps were replaced in 2020 (vehicle recall), and I was reimbursed for the replacement. The headlamps are now, AGAIN, dim and ineffective at night.

The forward section of the sunroof exploded into thousands of pieces and fell into the driver and passenger sides of the front seats. This happened while my wife was driving down a rural highway, no other cars or equipment or buildings were near the vehicle when this occurred, open fields on both sides of the highway NOTHING HIT THE GLASS. This is a very big safety issue, the potential response from a driver that unexpectedly has what sounds like a gun go off 12 inches from their head, not to mention all the glass that falls onto them immediately after the explosion.

There was a defective light headlamp recall issued in year 2020 for my vehicle 2015 SRX Cadillac. This was during the COVID pandemic. The recall started around March 2020 and ended June 2020. I was affected by COVID 19 as many were and I missed that window by a couple weeks. There was a noticeable dimming with my headlamps when driving at night. This issue has threatened me and my family putting our lives at risk. I took my vehicle back to Steve Foley Cadillac where I purchased it and it was confirmed that the headlamps were defective and needed replacement. Management in parts department told me I had to contact GM to get their approval to replace my headlamps in writing or I would have to pay out of pocket (2000.00 +) because the recall had expired by a couple weeks prior to getting my vehicle in for inspection. I continued to reach out to GM with many phone calls thru emails and texts they continued to say someone will call me back or e-mail me but it never happened. The safety and care of customers should never be compromised or ignored when catastrophic outcomes are present.

Since I purchased this car secondhand, the headlights are very dim at night, and it is unable to see in the dark, unless if I have my highbeams on which is a big safety hazard. The class action act expired by the time I purchase a vehicle, and I was unaware of this at the purchase of the vehicle. I have been in contact with two different aftermarket warranty companies, and they are refusing to cover it, in contact with Cadillac and oh, they suggested it was an aftermarket warranty. I have been unable to get coverage for something I believe I should since it is a safety hazard and that is not anything at my fault.

Continuous Struggle with the performance of my vehicle’s headlights. I feel like I am driving blind at night unless I turn my Brights on. I have a 2015 SRX and my low headlights are really dim. My 2015 SRX HEADLIGHTS are pretty useless, I got the lens cleaned up and they are not clouded but the light is so dim making it unsafe for me to drive at night. I did some research and found there has been a class action lawsuit filed over Cadillac SRX headlight performance and there are numerous complaints on this by so many frustrated Cadillac owners. My dealer is asking for $1700 to fix the headlights. I feel this is a safety issue and GM should be responsible to resolve the issue. The problem exists from day 1 since I bought the car.
