Headlights: it is available for inspection upon request. There have been no accident so far, however you cannot drive at night due to low beam of headlights are so very dim that it is an absolute hazard to be out on the road and deal with oncoming vehicles because you cant see. When asking a dealer representative about my headlight issue, he stated it would cost around $1500, as these were very expensive headlights and would take several days to get them in. Another person told me it would only last a few days, if replaced and then the same issue would occur. It seemed to be dimming all of a sudden, happened on the way home from church 1 month ago, as my husband and I were returning home. They both are still very dim and I think for the price we paid for our new vehicle in 2017, we should not be having this conversation. Cadillac dealership told us it would cost $1500 for headlights. No warning lamps or messages occurred.

Headlights when on dim do not light up the roadway. The vehicle is not safe to drive at night unless you drive with the high beams on which of course infuriates oncoming traffic. If you look on the internet, you will find that most Cadillac Srx from 2010 through 2016 have this problem, yet no recall. Why?.

Gradual dimming of headlight low beams over time, making them completely useless & unsafe at night. Must drive using high beams at all times. Safety hazard. (same issue as gm 2010-15 model litigation). Required to replace headlight assembly $2200. Contacted gm, who confirmed there is not yet a recall or lawsuit to reimburse for 2016 or later model repairs for the same known headlight failure as earlier models.

Standard headlights not bright enough to see at night. Need to use high beams.

There has been a gradual dimming of the low beam headlights on this vehicle since I purchased it. The headlights are so dim that at times they are of no value. This has created a serious situation, especially at night in the rain. It creates critical periods when I must use the bright lights in traffic just to see the roadway. This appears to be a contiuing issue with this model as I have read about similar defects and possible remeidies.

My car is less than 5 years old and the headlights are dim.

We are having problems with the headlights. There is going to be a problem when someone is killed. I don't understand by cadallic won't fix the problem they replace the lights on 2000 thru 2015 but not the 2016. I have instructed my children to file suit with Cadillac if something should happen to my husband and I in a car wreck or someone hurting me cause my brights are on. I have wrote a letter to Cadillac so they have one on file.

GMC known problem. Low beam headlights too dim to drive safely during hours of darkness. Gm is aware of this problem starting with approximately 2010 year model. Gm did not contact owners and in fact we received no notice of this obvious safety defect even though gm has been aware of it for an extended period of time, there has been numerous lawsuits and reports and several accidents attributed to the defective low beam headlights. The headlight system is covered by dot regulations and as such I am requesting a formal investigation and punitive action regarding our 2016 Cadillac Srx. Again I will restate that we were not contacted about a known dangerous defect in the low beam headlights. Gm is also insisting that owners pay up front for repairs and submit documentation for reimbursement while also imposing unreasonable time limits and cutoff dates. This is a dot safety issue. Please addrss it as such. Thank you.

The headlights have become dim and it is very hard to see at night. Gm knows about the problem but they have not issued a recall. Both head lamp assemblies need to be replaced on my 2016 Srx at a cost of $1700+. It is unsafe to drive this car at night.

The lowbeams of my headlights are so dim I cannot drive at night. Don't feel safe at all. Took to a dealer and they wanted to replace the whole assembly at my expense which is $2k. I was told replacing the bulb will not fix situation as it is the housing that is faulty.

Headlights are dim making it unsafe to drive at night. Having to use highbeams to drive. Very unsafe. These vehicles should be recalled for lighting. Has been like this for a while.

My 2016 Srx Cadillac. The front headlights are so dim that I can not drive at night. It's not safe. I can not see at all on the road at night. I read there was a settlement and a reimbursement over this but that I missed the deadline for it. I never knew or received anything in the mail about this safety issue that was happening to call Srx Cadillacs. Not just mine.

The headlights are dim at night and almost translucent during the day. I understand that there is no recall at this time but the headlights are a safety issue. Not only it is a safety issue is a costly one at that which the owner has to foot the bill which is bad business and deceiving the Cadillac owners. This should be looked into because apperantly I am not the only one having this issue and gm should make good on this defect and show proper customer service to all owners.

Headlights are so dim until high beams have to be use in order to see. Low beam appears like you don't have any lights on or maybe park lights. Unsafe because other vehicles can't see you with low beam on and you can't see. Driver seat motor went out making it complicated to reach the excelerator and brake. On the lumbar part works. All of this is while driving the vehicle.

I am unable to drive my car at night because the headlights are too dim. We recently replaced the lightbulbs, but this did not help.

The lights have been so dim since the day that I bought the car in March 2019. I spoke to Cadillac after I noticed the issue and they said that there was an issue that they were aware of but that the recall was only 90 days. She said that general motors would pay $700 of the purchase of a new light casing $1600 but Cadillac stated that the lighting is a bad product not any fault of the owner so the manufacturer should cover the whole cost to the owner of every Srx of this model. This is a huge safety concern. Its so very dangerous. Please help. There are several websites backing up the issue with these headlights. Lawsuits and so forth. Please hold gm responsible for putting vehicles on the road with known issues and not taking responsibility to fix it.

Since the beginning of the year. The headlights on my vehicle have begun getting dimmer and dimmer. None of the headlights have blown out but its very difficult to see at night.

My headlights keep getting dimmer and dimmer as time goes on. My vehicle only has 40,000 miles, but I started noticing at least 5,000 miles ago that while driving down the highway at night that it appeared as if I barely had any headlights shining in front of me. I would turn them off and on again, thinking they were off but could barely tell the difference. When I turn corners, I couldn't see where the road was or curbs and had to roll down my drivers and/or passenger windows to see where I was going and to avoid missing road or hitting something. I did a little research and found that there was a class action lawsuit for 2010-2015 Srx headlights with the same exact problem - upwards of 300,000 vehicles involved. Cadillac agreed to replace those headlights, but used the exact same type of headlight for the replacements and people are again having the same problem. . . . . . Lights dimming over time. I am afraid to drive at night now as it has gotten so bad that I feel my life is in danger. I don't want to drive with bright lights on all the time as that blinds oncoming traffic and creates another hazard. Https://cadillacsociety. Com/2020/03/10/owners-continue-to-struggle-with-Cadillac-srx-headlights/ I bought an extended warranty and was told it was bumper to bumper but lo and behold, it doesn't cover headlights which I was told by Cadillac dealer that they were $900 apiece.
