“The contact owns a 2017 Cadillac XT5. While washing the vehicle in the driveway, the contact noticed that the interior of the passenger side headlight assembly was cloudy. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (ingersoll auto Cadillac in danbury, connecticut) who stated that there was no failure and the vehicle was designed that way. The dealer further stated that the headlight assembly would eventually dry out with the heat from the head lamp. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 2,699.”
