Headlights problems of the 2011 Cadillac SRX - part 1

I never got a recall on the light repair. Has moisture in headlight. You can not see at night. Lights are very low lighting. It is a safety risk. Going to church at night is impossible. You cannot see out ahead. Trying to watch for deer. I got one light fixed few years ago. I cannot afford another. Is there a recall. The picture loaded is what light looks like on drivers side. I pray they stand behind the light. Thank you for caring.

The contact owns a 2011 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated while driving 35 mph at night, the headlights were extremely dim, the contact was unable to see more than approximately 8-feet ahead of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.

Unknown the dim headights as well as moisture in headlights seems to be a common problem . It is not safe driving with the headlighs on dim---you must drive with them on high beam to be able to see the road ahead. Something needs to be done for gm to correct this most dangerous problem as many are having this same problem. Please help!!!11.

I have several recalls that were not done to my vehicle. I moved around alot and when I asked the dealer, they said no. I found out that I paid for some of my recalls including the latest one with my headlights/ headlamps. They have been an issue for many years with water, moisture, the dealership said wear and tear , not so, faulty from all the complaints world-wide. I had purchased my vehicle straight up from the dealership in 2011. I have been the only driver and owner of my vehicle. Can you please help me recover all the recalls for my vehicle so my car can get fixed. Thanks again in advanced.

Improper seal allows moisture and cobdensatuon in which causes the headlights burn out. I have owned this vehicle for 2. 5 years and have replaced the headlight bulb 3 times.

The headlights on the car don't work properly. They are too dim to see at night. You can't see the roadway at all. Light replacement doesn't fix problem. Is a problem that the car was built with. Others I know are having the same issue. There needs to be a national recall on this to help safe people from traffic accidents that are the manufacturers fault.

The seal allows moisture. The headlights burn out.

Low beam headlights are so dim you can't see at night. Already put in new bulbs. We just bought the car on 5/5/2020.

Water collects on the inside of the sealed headlights.

My headlights randomly build up condensation which causes the headlights to go out unexpectedly. This causes a safety issue especially when driving in the dark. It's also illegal to drive without headlights. There was a class action lawsuit in California regarding this very issue.

Low beam headlights dimmed. High beam headlights failed completely. Moisture build up in headlight housings apparently impacted electronic headlight controllers. Auto dealership estimates approximately $2000. 00 to repair. . Replacement of both headlight bulbs produced no difference in light output. Bulbs that were replaced appear to be fully functional. Mechanic at firestone auto care facility states that �headlight housing unit appears to have defective seals allowing moisture in and remaining inside the housing damaging controllers�.

Headlights are dim on low beam with condensation present inside housing. Very dangerous nighttime driving. Must use high beams in order to see to drive which also creates very dangerous driving conditions in the face of oncoming traffic. Have also had rear axle repaired which appears to be a very common problem with Cadillac Srx models.

Headlights went out at 70 mph I -95 curb lost control almost kill entire family.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated while driving at various speeds at night, the headlights were dim. The contact used the high beams for adequate lighting. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that a replacement bulb would not enhance the lighting.

The manufacturer was contacted but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 90,000.

The headlight is defective and has water in the headlamp unit cause extremely low visibility which is very dangerous as it appears that one is driving with no lights at all.

My Cadillac 2011 headlights when dim. First I changed the light bulbs thinking that that would solve the problem but it did not. I then took my car into the dealer to check to see why the light bulbs did not fix the problem. They in turn told me that I would have to replace the entire headlight in order fix the dim lights. I was also told that the lights going dim on the Cadillac Srx is a flaw in the system. This is an unsafe condition whereas you will need to drive with your high beams until the light unit is replaced as you can barely see in front of you.

I noticed that only my drivers side headlight was not working. After investigating I learned that there has been 2 class action lawsuits filed and won against the manufacturer in florida and California. This is due to condensation causing the low beam light to fail. I took the headlights out and put the bulb from the drivers side into the passenger side and it works. This is consistent with the complaints from the lawsuits. There are way too many complaints about this causing headlights to fail in rainy conditions. That is the worst time for headlights to fail. There are enough complaints that a recall should be done.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that the low beam headlights failed. The contact was unable to use the vehicle for night time driving because the headlights low beam failed to provide adequate illumination for night time driving.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

The low beam headlights no longer work, making visibility poor while driving at night, so low it makes seeing anything in front of the vehicle difficult and may cause an accident. They were working and one day while driving home from my office I noticed they were no longer working, it was dark in front of the car. I checked the lights, they were on, however, the low beams were no longer operating.

My 2011 Cadillac Srx has had very poor headlights since I purchased it. I have replaced the bulbs with the brightest halogen bulbs available with minable improvement. I tried led lights, they were terrible. What recourse do we have on this issue. I see on the internet that this is a ongoing complaint with this model of car. Please help!.

My headlights are dim. I cant drive it after dark. Very dangerous.

I am writing regarding my service airbag light. The light can on about 2 weeks ago. I had it check out by autozone and o�rellies auto storm. I was informed the it was the passenger seat pressure sensor and it have a recall on it. So when I call the Cadillac place they tell me that I have no recalls at this time. So how do two places tell me I have a recall but Cadillac says I don�t. I really need this situation cleared . I drives my elderly parents around and I needs my car to be safe for me as well as for my parents. Please help. I'm having to many issues with Cadillac. My headlight assembly for my car caused by condense in my passenger side headlight assembly. That's been out for about a year. So yes I'm having a bad time with my car. Don't get me wrong I love my car this is why I'm trying to find help as well as answer regarding my vehicle. If you can contact me at (219)-884-4014. I would really really appreciate it. Thank you so much have a blessed day.

Headlight failure - replaced one side for 1400. 00 now have to replace other side contacted cadilac and was told it was not covered. I own a 2010 Srx bought in florida and it is covered. This is a safety issue that gm should be accountable before innocent lives ars lost due to failure of headlamps.

Headlights on 2011 Cadillac Srx are constantly filling up with condensation. This causes uneven headlights and reduces visibility put driver and passenger at risk of undue injury including death.

The low beams on my SUV went completely out as I was driving early one morning out of my neighborhood! I noticed that it was unusually dark and thought that a street light was out, but I soon discovered that it was my headlights that were not working. I am unable to drive my car at night or before the sun comes up because I have no lights. I can only use the high beams. I need to be able to drive my car when it's dark. This is a serious problem and the gm should do a recall to repair this defect at cost to the consumer because they are totally aware of this issue and have been for years. There is an issue with the sealant and it's allowing moisture to get inside of the headlights causing the lights to go out.

Drivers side headlight contains moisture which shorts out the ballast and ignitor and blows the hid headlight. There is not a proper seal on headlight and Cadillac knows this. They have been recalled in florida, California! in wisconsin the same issue with moisture. I have replaced both sides 7 times. The car dealer refused to fix. The Cadillac dealer also will not acknowledge the problem either. At any moment they just stop working when driving on highway at night. This can cause an accident because oncoming traffic can't see you. A safety issue. Let alone rain, fog and snow driving are issues if they just can go out because they are faulty.

Takata recall the high and low beam headlights are so dim at night driving. It's very dangerous because you can hardly to half car length in from of you.

Headlights will turn off sporadically while driving. If manually turning lights off then back on, headlight will work again.

Bought the 2011 Srx in 2018. Immediately had to have the entire passenger side headlight assembly replaced because of moisture intrusion. Now 6 months later the same problem has appeared in the drivers side headlight. Visibility at night is badly compromised. Repair is very costly.

The oem headlights are a driving hazard, extremely dangerous and unsafe. There are several posts on-line, describing the same problem. The seals of the headlights allow moisture into the headlight assemblies. This causes bulbs, harnesses, and diodes to burn up. I described the incident to Cadillac, they really don't have a responsible response.

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.

Hid headlights keep filling with condensation and burning out. Dealer wants over $1800 to fix. . . For headlights!.

My headlight assembly holds condensation and my lights are dim. Occurred driving at night.

Moister completely filled passenger headlight assembly so it failed state inspection.
