Description of the problem | Headlights unsafe. I bought my 2015 srx new, and from the outset the low beam headlights were very dim. Visibility is so poor that i can't safely drive my srx at night; my 4-year-old $50,000 srx has only 13,000 miles on it. The dealer quoted me ~$300 to replace with non-gm bulbs but can't guaranty that the problem will be fixed and won't give me any sort of warranty on the repair--even though my srx is still under factory warranty. In fact, every online review states that replacing the bulbs will not correct this issue. Obviously, the defect goes beyond the bulb itself. This is a major safety issue and is a known issue with the srx. A simple google search returns thousands of customers complaining of this safety problem which gm fails or refuses to remedy. Nhtsa, please intervene here and make gm permanently fix this defect, whether that means replacing the entire headlamp assembly, or new seals, or new bulbs with some sort of warranty. My safety, and that of my children and others on the road, is at great risk until this defect is corrected. [note, i had to select a date of occurrence, so i chose today's date; but this is an ongoing problem that started shortly after i purchased the vehicle in dec. 2015 and has gotten progressively worse over time.] |
