Description of the problem | Please help me! I can't see to drive my 2015 cadillac srx at night due to the dangerously dim headlights. I nearly got killed on july 14. I was on the highway after dark, i literally could not see anything, it was like driving with the headlights off. So, i slowed the car to 35mph just so i could see to find my exit off the highway. I used my bright lights as much as i could, but i was blinding the drivers coming towards me. After purchasing this 2015 cadillac srx in december 2017, i noticed the dim headlights. After returning from vacation in march 2018, i took the car to my local dealer for service. I was told they installed a different headlight assembly but saw no improvement, so they put the old headlights back in. However, they thought they were brighter just from being cleaned. In june, the headlights were getting worse, so i returned to the dealership. I was told a gm representative was there that day, they would speak with him about the problem, then call me back to schedule another appointment. Today, july 16 i had not received a call, so i called them. I have another appointment scheduled for monday, july 23. I was told this is their last ditch effort in trying to fix the headlights. I cannot drive the car after dark period. I don't know what to do, please help! |
