1 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2016

The car is under full factory warranty. It has been to the Cadillac dealer 6 times for the same issue. The Cadillac Ats has adaptive forward lighting and the headlights randomly will not properly align which causes poor visibility, often at highway speeds. The misalignment does not always occur during first start up, and can occur during highway travel. The headlight failures consist of either headlight pointing up and sometimes both headlights point upward so much that the highway is difficult to see. I have been forced to pull to the side of the roadway and shut the car down, open the door and then restart the vehicle. I have also encountered both headlights pointing downward, causing very poor highway visibility. The adaptive forward lighting system has failed on many Cadillac vehicles as a search on any Cadillac forum will attest. The dealership has reflashed the headlight controller, replaced the headlight controller and replaced one headlight. These actions and repair orders prove that the dealership has verified the issues with the headlight system, but the adaptive forward headlight system has continued to fail. The vehicle has been delivered to the Cadillac dealership 6 times for the same issue. I have documented most of the headlight system failures, when possible and safe to do so, with pictures and videos. That information has been offered to the dealership, however they will not accept the dated pictures or videos as proof of an issue. Though the vehicle may sit at the dealership for up to 5 days, if they cannot duplicate the issue (during daylight ?), the result is no action taken to correct the headlight issue. Misalignment of the vehicles headlights should be considered a safety related failure.
