Description of the problem | We purchased this car in october 2018. A few days later we were driving home at night. I turned on the low beam headlights and told my wife i could barely see any light. A few moments later i almost drove into a ditch. We called the dealer the next day. Despite having a remaining bumper to bumper warranty, we were required to pay $208. 81 for replacement bulbs, which they said were not covered under warranty. They are barely brighter than the ones they replaced. This is astonishing that a leading us manufacturer has elected to play russian roulette with its customers lives. Consider this message a safety complaint against this manufacturer and a promise to join the class action suit that is now starting in florida. I should be reimbursed the $208. 81 and both headlight assemblies replaced with redesigned ones. Simply replacing small bulbs again will not suffice. Cadillac and gm need to be held accountable. If we are injured or killed because of the very poor output of these low beam headlights i will chase the souls of all those at cadillac and gm beyond the depths of hell forever. There is no excuse for equipment such as this, and no excuse for not repairing it properly. |
