“The lights on my Cadillac SRX is almost nonexistent. I am not able to drive my car at night because I have no low beams!! The dealership told me it would be 1800.00 to replace them but they will be replacing them with the same kind I have in there so in 4 years I will be paying another 1800.00.GM knows of the problem but will do nothing about it”
NHTSA complaint #11266850, filed 2019-10, 40,000 miles“I have noticed for the past 3 months of the 3 years I have owned the 2015 Cadillac SRX that the low beam head lamps are to dim to drive at night. This is a serve safety issue. The headlamps throw now recognizable light on the road. The lights are on and have no directional issues. Calls to multiple GM dealerships and the GM customer service were met with the response of no knowledge of any issues or like complaints. My vehicle showed now evidence of plastic lens degradation, nor yellowing, nor condensation. Multiple forums report the problem with no solution.”
NHTSA complaint #11128339, filed 2018-09, 49,000 miles“I purchased a used 2015 SRX Cadillac in 2017 with 26,000 miles on it. Progressively the headlamps (low beam) have gotten dimmer and dimmer to the point that I am now having to drive my car with the high beams on because I cannot see the road in front of my vehicle. The car is 4 yrs old now and has 70,000 miles. I travel frequently at night and I do not feel safe in this car now. If a person were walking along the road or a deer were to run in front of my vehicle even at an adequate distance for any other car I have ever driven, I would not see it in time to avoid an accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11254644, filed 2019-09, 70,000 miles“The sunroof exploded while driving on interstate 67 (san diego county) on the morning of december 31, 2018. Approximate speed was 55 MPH. It sounded like a large blast when it blew. Glass flew everywhere, mostly outward. It left a hole in the sunroof approximately 14 inches long and 10 inches wide.”
NHTSA complaint #11169941, filed 2019-01, 64,500 miles“Today, I paid $1789.01 at ron carter Cadillac dealership, friendswood, tx, to replace two headlamps on my 2015 Cadillac SRX. Several months ago, I notified the dealership that lights were so dim on car that I could barely see at night. It pained me to pay for this, especially when I found out it has been an ongong problem and no recall has been issued. I expected better quality from Cadillac.”
