Description of the problem | The headlights on my cadillac srx are very dim. It is almost impossible to drive in the dark without using the brights. A class action law suit has been handled in california and florida but nothing done anywhere else. I filed a complaint with cadillac but was told that they are aware of the situation and in the planning process for the remedy. Per my research, the headlights are allowing moisture to get inside which is causing damage to the lights and wiring. The lights are not out but just go dim. I asked the dealership and the cadillac customer service representative if replacing the bulb would help and they stated that the entire unit would have to be replaced. At this point, my lights are so dim that it is becoming nearly impossible to drive in the dark in unlit areas. I was hoping that cadillac would show responsibility for this issue but it appears they are waiting on your department to issue a recall. Per the dealership, this issue could cost between $1800-$3000 to fix and they are well aware of the problem. I am not familiar with the process and in no way think that one complaint merits a recall but it is my hope that your department, or the governing agency, will look into this ongoing issue. It is a major safety concern for myself and many others. Please let me know if i can provide any more information. I would like to be helpful in hopes of getting this issue fixed without spending thousands of my own money. |
