 Description of the problemOur 2015 cadillac srx has extremely dim low beam headlights. They are so dim that we are afraid to drive the car at night. When we do drive at night, we drive with the high beams on because they have not be affected by the defect yet. Driving with the high beams on at all times is hazardous to other drivers, but the low beams are so dim, it is nearly impossible to see the road. There have been several class action lawsuits, but to date, gm refuses to address the flaw in the headlight assembly. According to the lawsuit, the seals gm used in the exterior headlight housing units wear out and deteriorate and allow moisture to accumulate and condense from the air that flows through the vents. However, the vents for the housing units are defective because they interfere with the flow of air through the faulty seals of the headlights. The condensation causes headlight problems that include failure of the bulbs due to corrosion of the components such as the igniters, in addition to electrical shorts that occur. Since 2011 and in an effort to do something about owners complaining about the headlights being too dim or failing completely, general motors allegedly issued a customer satisfaction program and several technical service bulletins (tsbs). But the plaintiffs claim gm's efforts haven't fixed the dim headlights.
