 Description of the problemHeadlight moisture is causing very poor visibility. In march of 2019, i received a letter stating that my vehicle was part of a class action lawsuit and that if i wanted to have the headlights replaced, i could by paying out of my pocket and then would be reimbursed. The class action lawsuit was for 2011 - 2015 models. My vehicle is 2015. At the time that i received the letter, there was no visible signs of a problem, checked by myself and my husband who is very good with cars. Now, less than 1 year later, i can't even tell when my headlights are on. If i am not driving on a road that has street lights, i cannot see. It's a serious safety issue. Given that i mainly travel on roads that have street lights, i was unaware of the deteriorated situation until very recently. I contacted cadillac who offered me no solution aside from taking it in to get it diagnosed at a cost to me. Then i am supposed to call them back so that they can see what they can do, no promises of any type of monetary reimbursement. So basically, i got nowhere with cadillac who seems to be more concerned with their bottom line than safety. The class action lawsuit should have been a recall. Think of it this way, 2011 owners had a long enough time to see that the headlights/covers would eventually get moisture in them causing the problem, but 2015 owners had a much shorter window of time. The cost to replace them is about $1500, which i didn't spend given that when i received the letter, there was no issue. This is a serious safety issue that occurs gradually over time and needs to be addressed by way of a recall so that cadillac has no choice but to resolve the issue and back their product by making the situation right. Taking the safety of cadillac owners as a serious matter as opposed to trying to save money by not doing a voluntary recall.
