It is a common issue with 2010-2016 Cadillac Srx for the reflective material on the inside of the low beam halogen projectors to flake off, causing extreme decreased visibility at night, especially in inclement weather.
Condensation on both headlights.
Intermittent windshield wipers do not work.
The exterior housing units prematurely wear out and allow moisture to cause failures of the lights. The makes driving at night hard, because you can barely see. Gm tried to give some customers a rebate, but this required owners to pay out of pocket at first for repairs, and this causes me an undue burden because I don't have that kind of money. This is very dangerous and gm should recall this.
Windshield wipers stopped working while in rain storm. Motor was still running but the wiper transmission was disconnected from motor. My 2 year old grandson was in the car at time of failure. They were able to safely return home. This incident could have caused a serious accident.
I have complained to Cadillac about my headlights having condensation which leads to them intermittently turning off. It's illegal to drive without headlights at night in wa state and it's dangerous. On 2/28/20, Cadillac sent me a letter acknowledging that's the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Srx may experience issues that could cause moisture to accumulate in their headlamps capsule and cause halogen headlights to become dimmer over time. They state in the letter that they will only reimburse up to $1,600 for the repair. The repair is $2,600. Then they said the claim form has to be submitted by may 28, 2020. None of the dealerships have the headlights because they are on back orders. They told me they may not get the headlights by that time. In other states lawsuits have been filed where Cadillac did not win. In those lawsuits it was noted that Cadillac was aware of this defect and ignored it. I'm asking that you please order Cadillac to issue a recall. It's the right thing to do and it's a safety concern.
Headlight moisture problems, when water gets into the headlight the headlight will no longer work until the water evaporate or dries out completely.

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.
Visibility when on my way to work on the highway at night my low beams are so dim that I can't see the road, I have a 2011 Srx, this is horrible.
Defrost system when it is required it may decrease the drivers visibility and results in a crash. More or less it works when it wants to not when it is needed too.
Last year in 2018 took my car in to gm and they could not find any thing wrong with my issue of car Cadillac 2011 Srx and found through web sit that this series of vehicles had a recall and the blower system for the defrost system, and my car is having the same exact issues and Cadillac will not fix it.
The factory low beam headlights on this car pose a safety risk for everyone on the road. You can barely see anything on the road with the low beam headlights on this car. The high beam headlights work perfect, but the low beam headlights are dangerous. I've seen many people that drive this vehicle have the same problem. I believe a recall should be put into place due to this problem originating from the factory.

When using low beams it's like driving blind! you can barely see a foot in front of you at night. Must use high beams at night or risk your life due to lack of visibility due to discoloration/problem with lens covers!.
