Description of the problem | The headlights on my srx became very dim very quickly. After doing some research of my own, it appears this is a manufacturers defect. I took it to my local cadillac dealership on 10/1. They stated they didn't know exactly what the problem was, but somehow the lens was bad. Was going to cost $1600+ to repair. I had to wait to do that, but in the meantime, started doing my own research. I found a few class action lawsuits have been filed for this very problem. I have contacted my dealership again. My warranty for that ran out at 50,275 miles. The problem was there prior to that mileage. I honestly thought my eyes were starting to go bad at night, but my family noticed it too when we were all driving together one evening, so i made an appointment to have it checked out. I am very upset that cadillac isn't doing something about this. The car is unsafe to drive at night. At this point, if i get it fixed, they will replace it with the same headlights, as they haven't made any changes to the design of the piece from what i can tell. So, the problem will occur again. This is a major safety issue. Cadillac/gm really needs to step up and take care of this. The car can not be driven at night under these conditions. |
