2024 Cadillac Lyriq Exterior lighting Problems

“The headlamps in the Cadillac Lyriq are supposed to be self leveling, maintaining a consistent throw throughout a drive. My left headlamp droops significantly after 10-15 minutes of driving, failing to throw its beam more than 15 feet ahead. This poses a a safety risk because it decreases my ability to see pedestrians or road hazards. This has not been reviewed by a Cadillac dealer yet because it is a known issue to which GM had no current solution. There are no warning signals that appears in the car’s screen. …”

“There is a problem with the dashboard lighting. It is very dim and hard to read the dash to choose and view options and screen in general. I noticed this the day I picked up the new car. The dealer said there was nothing he could do. I contacted Cadillac and was told to go back to dealer and have him make a TAC call with GM for adjustment. They did this and said it met there specs. This is a very dangerous safety issue as when you are driving you spend to much time trying to see dashboard for adjustments and you can’t keep your eye on the road. …”

“We encountered consistent loss of or erratic headlight operation. The behavior was that lighting would simply fail on one or both sides of the car, often along two-lane roads with curves in the road where it is critical to judge distance to oncoming traffic. Other times the lights would dim and wash out the ability to clearly see the road ahead. The dealer has replaced the headlights three times already. An associated lighting module was also replaced more than once. Note that this issue is still present so we are unable to use the vehicle now after dark.”

“Right rear taillight and brake light fail to light intermittently. This is a known defect on many other Lyriqs. When this failure occurs, the vehicle is not compliant with state laws regarding having working taillights and brake lights, and could result in a moving violation ticket. Cadillac should be required to recall and repair/replace these lights.”

“Headlights on vehicle “droop” after driving 20 minutes or more. They start off okay and then become non existent l, pointing directly down toward the pavement in front of the vehicle and you can’t see more than 1 car length in front of you. You must turn the vehicle off and then back on to reset the headlights to drive. This is a huge safety issue for driving at night.”
