Description of the problem | Received a safety notice from cadillac as part of class action lawsuit. Headlights may be subject to dimming and/or complete loss of the headlights due to corrosion from moisture within the sealed headlight unit. Took my 2015 srx in for service and they said the headlights need immediate attention. Because this is not a recall it is up to the individual to pay for the repair and then seek reimbursement from cadillac. Due to the extreme safety concerns,loss of headlights and potential for a nighttime crash with resulting injury or death, i'm asking you to investigate this for a potential recall. Because the unit is sealed, i can't provide photos that support my claim that moisture has built up inside (behind) the headlights. This has been a known problem for over a year and may have resulted in crashes and injuries that are unknown to me. |
