The contact owns a 2016 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, headlights failed to produce adequate lighting. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was unable to drive the vehicle at night due to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed that the headlight assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

The headlights are very dim. I cannot see at night without using my bright lights. This a safety issues because I cannot see and other cars cannot see me. On 12-28-21 I took the car to jim hudson dealership. The diagnose was both headlights are very dim. Reflective silver coating within headlamp assemblies has faded. Will require 2 new assemblies. This is my second 2016 Srx and I had the exact same problem with the headlights. I believe this is a manufacturer issue.

The headlights are not bright enough they've never been bright enough it's almost like you don't have any headlights at night time if it's dark out. I even change them out once and it's like there wasn't enough power to them to make them bright. I have not very good vision at night and I can't even really drive the car at night unless it's in the city. A couple of people I have told me they had the same problem with the headlights and even the guy at the auto place told me that his wife had the same car and he changed her headlights and it was still bad so he changed them back and that's exactly what I did. Hardly usable at all at night I wish there was something they could do or find out if there is a flaw in the design because everyone I've talked to that has this year and type of car says the same exact thing and no one has given me any resolution on what they did they just lived with it. I love the car 100% in every other way but the headlights are a incredible factor for night driving and since I do live somewhat in the country I always have to take the other vehicle at night time.

Regular headlights are too dim to be seen at night and it’s verry dangerous to drive at night even after replaceing the a brighter light also happends on Cadillac ats from 2018.

The contact owns a 2016 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated that the headlights failed to properly illuminate the roadway while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the fog covering the headlights could not be removed and that the vehicle was not covered under recall. The dealer informed the contact that the headlight assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

My head lights don't work good at all and I have got stopped by police several times an got a ticket for bright lighting and stopped for driving with no lights on when I had dem on but the police couldn't even tell I had any on and I have called Cadillac on many occasions and all they say is they can't fix them under a recall that I will have to pay 3000 to $3500 to have them fixed, said they have to replace the whole assembly not just lights and I think this is very much a safety issue when I can't see at night with lights on dim and I am tired of getting tickets for the lights being on bright snd when you pay over $45 thousand dollars for a vehicle you would think Cadillac would fix it and it would be there responsibility to pay for it ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 4 - VIN corrected, error in one position only (indicated by ! in suggested VIN), multiple matches found; 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.

The headlights are extremely dim cannot drive the vehicle at night. If I do use at night I have to use the high beams. Seems to be a know problem with Cadillac Srx. I was told by dealer they would have to replace both headlight assemblies to fix this problem at a cost of over 2000 dollars.

I bought this car in 2020 and my first night of being out at night I could not see 2 feet in front of me. I was darn near ran off the road. Supposed all recalls were done on my car--not!!!!!!this is serious stuff and I'm seeing on a Cadillac forum all the outcries and the extreme costs people are paying. Please please do something-also be sure so called recalls are done!!!!.

There has been a gradual decrease in the brightness of the low beams on this vehicle. My wife is the primary driver of it and doesn't drive it too much at night, but I was driving it recently and noticed how poor the lighting is at night, in particular on wet roads. It is to the point that visibility is not that far in front. If a person or animal was on the road, it probably wouldn't be seen until the vehicle is almost upon it. High beams are not a problem. There is no particular moment that this has happened - it's been over time. From internet research, this appears to be a problem with Srx's.

The headlights are bad. Water gets in. A class action suit dismissed this defect that was also in previous years. This should be a recall. We are going to have to replace the headlights on our car because we can barely see at night.

My 2016 Cadillac Srx has faulty just like the rest of the 2010 to the 2015 Cadillac Srxs front headlight assemblies that you cannot see at night and then they eventually just die out because of moisture getting in I've had to replace mine and it's cost me $2,400 to replace them gm is very well aware of this issue this is a dangerous situation people cannot drive at night we cannot drive during inclemented weather. Barely can drive with your brights on this is a dangerous dangerous situation. Should have a recall gm is very well aware of the faulty lights that are installed in these vehicles. The situation started in September of 2020.

The headlamps on the 2016 Srx have a design defect. The lens on the low beams cloud over and diminish the light to the point that the vehicle is usable at night only with high beams on all the time. Cadillac reports that brand new lens' only last 1 to three years. The cost to replace is approximately $1600 . This is a recurring cost and creates a safety hazard .

Dim lights are not sufficient to see to drive at night. It is a very dangerous situation. We have to use the high beam in order to see anything in the road and put on dim when cars are approaching . This situation should be a recall from general motors. This has not been properly addressed. Talking with other owners the complaint is ongoing and results in costly repairs without good results.

Lighting assembly on this vehicle causes very dim lighting that is unsafe to drive at night. I have to limit my driving to daylight hours only as a full-time uber driver which places restrictions on my earnings. I also am unable to list this vehicle on turo for rental because it would be unsafe for rental drivers. Their is a common problem with the light assembly causing the dim lighting in these vehicles.

Exterior lighting: the head light low beams on this vehicle are inferior and a safety hazard. They do not illuminate far enough in front of the car and are not bright enough. I have hit several curbs at night just because you just can't see them going around curbs or at intersections with the lights on this SUV. Talked to dealer about replacement with auto part store headlamps, and the response was it would void warranty on the head lights (break the seal) and would cost several thousand dollars. And would not improve the lighting. Like others, I drive with my high beams on, even in the city so I can see pedestrians and curbs. Gm should recall these headlamps and replace for free before people start getting killed.

We are having issues with the low beam head lamps. They are not safe!! we have contacted the dealer on several occasions for help, only to get a "it's not our problem" response. Gm is surely aware, as a search for help with the issue pops up many complaints and possible class action law suits currently in the works. What brings me here now is, my wife recently done some serious damage to the car and minor personal injury when she hit an object in the road that could have and should have been avoided if she could have seen it!! we are just thankful this was not a person. I would gladly testify that this could actually be a possibility if something is not done with these lights. We were told we could replace with the same light, at our cost (appx. $1500. 00) which I'm sure would soon have the same problem. Which should not be a problem at all with a two year old $50,000. 00 car. Please help us and all the others with correcting this, before something really bad or deadly happens, if it hasn't already. We have talked to several friends in our home town with the same car with the same problem.

Front beam lights are not bright enough, this created an unsafe condition. I had to use the highest beam during night driving in order to see the road. However, when the highest beam was used, it blind the driver in front of me or blind the driver coming in the opposite . This problem is imperative and should be corrected before an accident occurs!!.

The low beam (dim lights) are horrible. I almost hit a man walking on the side of the road last night. You cannot see 30' in front of the vehicle when lights are on dim. You have to drive with the high beams on. The high beam works great, but vehicles coming at you are getting blinded by your high beams. You switch to low beam, then you cannot see! I have seen all the complaints on the internet. I cannot believe this issue hasn't been recalled. Shame on the government for not fixing this safety issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated while driving 30 mph a month after purchasing the vehicle, he noticed that it was difficult to see the roadway because the headlights were very dim. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the dim lights needed to be replaced and informed the contact he would be responsible for the cost of the repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 Cadillac Srx. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the lights of the vehicle started to switch from high beam to low beam independently. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to unknown local dealer. The contact did not notify the manufacturer of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. Jo.

The low beam lights are terrible, have replaced bulbs, but still can hardly see highway this makes it very unsafe to drive this vehicle at night. Gm should recall to fix the issue.

On lights they are very dim, makeing it a rist to drive at night, safty. On brake makes a squeel when applying, had it in to service several times ,they say nothing is wrongwith it. Cadalics should not make noise like that makes poeple look at car like somethings wrong with it,which it is.

Head lights are very dim. When I took a vacation through arizona and parts of southern California where street lights were not present it was very hard and unsafe to see where I was going due to lights being so dim. Estimate to replace was so out of my budget. Don’t know what to do. Please help.
