My headlights are to dim, unable to see when I'm driving in the streets and highways. I have to switch to high beam due to my safety, but I'm disturbing other cars which I can cause them to have a accident as well. Also I can get pulled over by a cop any minute. I been having this problem since day one when I purchase the car over a year ago but I thought this was normal on this particular car. Plus I never made it a big deal due to I had no choice to continue driving it cause I couldn't return it. So we just decided to use the car just during day time. But lately we be using the car during night time now is becoming a problem.
While operating the 2015 Srx4 last night on an interstate then two lane state road in a light rain, the low beam headlights barely illuminated the roadway. The brights were fine but when meeting oncoming traffic and switching to low beam, it was if the lights were not working at all. There were several times that I could not even see the painted lines on the side of the road. It was extremely dangerous and unsettling. Today I find online that there are numerous complaints about the low beams being unacceptable and dangerous. I concur. The poor quality of lighting will end up causing an accident or getting someone killed. This appears to be a known problem to Cadillac and gm.
Aug 2018 I noticed my low beam lights were barely visible, like I was driving in the dark with no lights on. I switched to high beams and could see very good, but then switched back to low beam and it was still the same. . . . Very poor lighting. I had the bulbs changed out in oct 2018 for $200, but this did not fix the problem. I had the relay switch replaced, but this did not fix the problem. I have had situations where objects or people were on the side of the road, but I did not see them until the last second when I was right there at them because of the poor lighting. I cannot continuously drive with my high beams on at night just to see where I am going. This is a bad safety issue on one of the top of the line vehicles. . . . Low beams could cause me to wreck, hitting someone or something because of poor lighting and high beams makes me blind the oncoming traffic causing them to wreck hitting someone or something. I am told that the headlight assembly needs replacing because of the poor seal quality letting moisture in causing the faulty low lighting. There should be a recall on this because this is a manufacturer problem/error. I should not have to pay $1500 to fix this when I did nothing to cause it. Cadillac/gm needs to step up to the plate and recall this defect they created and correct the problem before someone is accidentally hurt or killed.
My certified 2015 Cadillac Srx left the dealership as an unsafe vehicle! the headlights (or lack thereof) are barely visible at night or in the rain. While using the headlights, there is not much difference when the switch is off or when it is on. This has led to several "close calls' while driving. In researching this problem, it appears there are tens of thousands of 2010-15 Srx's that have unsafe headlights. But yet, no recall. I am wondering how many more complaints it will take? then to add the two lawsuits, and still nothing except for a half-hearted letter from Cadillac "offering" to reimburse the out-of-pocket expense to fix the problem. In review, I purchased my first Cadillac, expecting a top of the line vehicle. In return, I now have a vehicle that I can only drive during daylight hours and sunny weather.
Low beam headlights very dim and have been since the vehicle was new in January of 2015. Contacted dealer and was informed this was a common problem with the Srx for which there was no fix. On my third set of aftermarket halogen bulbs with only marginal improvement. Consider it somewhat dangerous to drive this vehicle during night time hours. This issue happens with headlight switch in automatic or when selecting the "headlight on" position. Headlights also appear to be aimed too low but dealership chose not to verify and there dopes not appear to be an adjustment screw; the manual states that the dealer's body shop should aim the lights.
