Description of the problem | The low beams on this vehicle create a driving hazard at night. There literally are hundreds of complaints just by doing a google search. See also carproblemzoo. Com gm/cadillac has no fix. The lights do not project properly and in dark areas you can't tell at times that the lights are working. Gm should be required to fix this issue. I replaced the halogen lights with new halogens and no difference. I then upgraded halogens to led bulbs with a minimal fix. Please take these issues seriously. People have written online that they cannot drive the vehicle at night. The only safe measure is to drive with high beams, which is not possible. This problem is systemic with the luxury edition cadillac srx. I think it's the lens or electrical. I think this is the reason that the 2016 srx has hid headlights. Numerous websites indicate complaints from drivers who say that the cadillac dealerships acknowledge the issue but also say that gm has not issued a fix. Dealerships want hundreds of dollars up to over a thousand dollars to fix it, but they also state that the fix might not work. Please investigate this. It is truly a serious safety issue. Please hold gm accountable. Thank you for your time and consideration. This problem occurs when driving. It is extremely difficult to see the road and to see people walking across the street and to see paint lines. The lights do not project solidly and widely as do other makes of vehicles on the road. I am taking my car to the dealership on 2/2/19 to ask them to assess the situation. |
