2014 Cadillac SRX

These are unverified consumer reports filed with NHTSA, shown as submitted.

• 12/31/2025· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  It has been an ongoing issue for years concerning the dimness of the headlights on this vehicle. Virtually impossible to drive at night , can’t even see the lane markings with lights on dim. The cause was determined to be leaky seals creating corrosion. I replaced the bulbs myself and it made no difference. No recall was ever granted in spite of multiple complaints and filings with the NATSA. The Cadillac dealer is aware of the problem but has no authority to replace. I have had to let my relatives know of this issue in the event I were to be involved in a nighttime incident.

• 12/31/2020· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE INCREASINGLY BECOME DIMMER TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS. I THINK THE ISSUE BEGAN AROUND THE MIDDLE OF 2019.

  ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, NOTICED LOW BEAM VISIBILITY WAS VERY LOW. DEALER SAID "COMMON PROBLEM" NEEDED TO REPLACE ENTIRE LIGHTING UNIT ($800 EACH SIDE). NOW AFTER HAVING TIME TO RESEARCH, FINDING IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER SRX OWNERS. DID CHANGE BULBS, BUT THAT WAS NO HELP. CADILLAC NEEDS TO STEP FORWARD AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

• 12/29/2019· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE NORMAL HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT DO NOT PROVIDE ANY HELP. WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS OR THE ASSEMBLY. EVERY BAD REVIEW SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. EVERY SAFETY RATING HAS BEEN LOWERED DUE TO HEADLIGHT ISSUE. SELLING CAR AND NOT BUYING ANY MORE CADILLAC'S IF CADILLAC ISNT GOING TO HELP REPAIR THEIR KNOWN ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. YOU SPEND UPPER 5 FIGURES FOR A CAR AND GET TOLD TOO BAD. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

• 12/28/2021· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  I have has headlight problems since 2014. Replaced bulbs, no difference. I have to drive with high beam on at night. Dealer can only replace with same problem type lights. GMC knows of the problem. There is no permanent repair for the issue.

• 12/27/2021· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  The low beam headlights have become so dim that they are virtually useless for night driving. The only way I can drive after dark is with the brights which creates a safety blinding hazard for oncoming vehicles. In going on line I have found this has been an ongoing problem for several years but GM or Cadillac Motors has never announced a recall. The problem is not the bulb or even the globe.

• 12/27/2019· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE AT NIGHT. NEED TO USE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. CAN'T SEE PERIPHERAL VISION. CAN ONLY SEE STRAIGHT AHEAD WITH MINIMAL DISTANCE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND I TRY TO AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT AT ALL COST. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BY CADILLAC IMMEDIATELY SO NO ONE GETS INJURED.

• 12/27/2019· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  NIGHT DRIVING IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ON. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE SO DIM THEY DO NOT GIVE SAFE VISION. SINCE WE HAVE HAD THE CAR,2014, WE ALWAYS FELT THE LIGHTS WERE TOO DIM. AT THE TIME THE DEALER SAID THERE REALLY WASN'T ANY REAL SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. IF THEY REPLACED THEM THE SAME THING WOULD OCCUR. I SHOULD HAVE HAD MY CONCERNS AUTHENTICATED IN WRITING, BUT DIDN'T. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO THEM THEY SAID THEY HAD NO RECALL ISSUES DUE TO THE LIGHTS. I ASKED THEM TO REOPEN THE FILE ON 12/26/19. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. THEY WILL CONTACT ME AGAIN ON 12/30/19. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME.THE POOR VISIBILITY IS A CONSTANT NO MATTER WHERE I DRIVE. IT IS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC, SINCE I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY HIGH BEAM AS NOT TO CREATE A PROBLEM FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE AVOIDED USING MY CAR AT NIGHT AS IT IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND THE ON COMING TRAFFIC. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP OR INSIGHT YOU MAY HAVE.

  HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM ARE UNSAFE AND VEHICLE CAN NOT SAFELY BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. WE RETURNED TO DEALERS WHO REPLACED BULB AFTER ONE BLEW OUT BUT NEW BULB DID NOT HELP. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET WE HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY CONSUMERS ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NO EFFORT BY MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT. VERY UNSAFE.

  2014 low beams became dim. I changed out the bulbs for new ones and still cannot drive my vehicle at night. The SRX website states this is a known Cadillac SRX problem but there is no fix except to replace the lights with the same defective lights

• 12/24/2021· EXTERIOR LIGHTING,VISIBILITY/WIPER

  My car is undriveable after sunset because of low beam dim headlights. My car is a 2014 Cadillac SRX with 74971 miles. I've had a estimate of $1763.24 to fix problem at Labadie Cadillac in Bay City, MI. After investigation this has been a problem known to you for years, I don't understand why a safety recall has not already been ordered against GM, we can't see where we're going at night, that sounds like a safety problem to me. I know GM has paid for repairs after class action lawsuits, but why wasn't a safety recall ordered by you?

• 12/22/2018· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  CONCERN: EXTREMELY DIM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR CADILLAC SRX, SO DIM AND HAZARDOUS THAT WE CHOOSE TO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT AND NEVER IN RAIN. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH STRONG NEW BULBS FROM SYLVANIA (GOLD SERIES) HOWEVER THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. WE HAVE BEEN TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, THEY WANT TO CHARGE 1,900 DOLLARS TO REPLACE BOTH FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WITH THE SAME FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND CHARGE US FOR IT. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A BARELY 4 YR OLD CADILLAC THAT YOU CANT EVEN DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF SAFETY. MY CELLPHONE IS BRIGHTER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS, WE HAVE DONE THE COMPARISON. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED OF PENDING LAWSUITS OVER THE SAME ISSUE, ACCIDENTS, ETC,...IT IS AS MUCH OF A SAFETY HAZARD AS I CAN THINK OF. A 4 YR OLD CADILLAC THAT YOU CANT DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FAULTY, WELL DOCUMENTED DESIGN FLAWS IN THE LIGHT. RIDICULOUS. THE SRX WITHOUT QUESTION A DANGER TO DRIVE AT DUSK, DARK, OR RAIN.

• 12/21/2019· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE HEADLIGHTS ARE FAILING AND THIS CAR IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD.

IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS THE VEU SYSTEM HAS TAKEN A MIND OF ITS OWN AND USUALLY DOES NOT WORK FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE. NOW THE CAR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IT'S LIKE IT'S SHORTED OUT THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WORST CAR EVER!!! I WILL NEVER BUY A CADILLAC EVER AGAIN.

  The stock halogen headlights (low beams) are so dim you can't tell if they are on or not. New halogen bulbs did not help. I replaced them with LED units at my own expense.

• 12/14/2018· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE HORRIBLE, I HAVE A VERY HARD TIME SEEING AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LACK OF LIGHT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. I AVOID DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT DUE TO THE DIFFICULTY IN SEEING DUE TO THE LIGHTS. I CAN SEE FINE WITH MY OTHER CAR. SOMETIMES I AM FORCED TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHEN I SHOULD USE MY LOW BEAMS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. IT IS SUCH A HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A CADILLAC. I HAVE NOT HAD AN INJURY OR DAMAGE YET.

• 12/13/2025· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  While on low beam, the headlights are WAY too dim. Apparently, this is a common and well known problem. I just purchased this car, have replaced the bulbs, checked the voltage and cleaned the lens. I cannot see to drive at night on low beam.

• 12/13/2021· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  Since we moved to the East Coast, four years ago, the headlights on the 2014 SRX have slowly dimmed until they are completely ineffectual. When looking out the front window on a dark road, there is only a very dim, barely perceptible, lightening of the road directly in front of the car when the headlights are turned on. When approaching another car, the headlights resemble running lights or parking lights and could easily be overlooked in snow or heavy rain. Similar complaints are everywhere online, some indicating that internal Cadillac service memos cite defective seals that allow moisture to enter and corrode the whole light housing and that the only fix is replacing both the light assemblies for $2000...WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART! $2000 represents close to 13% of the Kelly Blue Book Value of the car. For a few months, coinciding with the initial Covid outbreak, Cadillac offered some people (not us) the option of having the light assemblies replaced and applying for a reimbursement within a very narrow time window. I never heard about this at the time and have no idea how these people were selected for notification and contacted. I would like to see Cadillac accept responsibility and recall the part which is obviously a huge safety issue!

• 12/12/2019· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  THE HEAD LAMPS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE OBJECTS ON THE ROAD. THERE ARE HUNDREDS ON COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER SRX OWNERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ON DRIVING TEST.ORG. THE LOW BEAMS ON THIS CAR AS SO DIM THAT YOU CANNOT DRIVE IT SAFELY AT NIGHT. CADILLAC REFUSES TO ACCEPT THERE IS AN ISSUE. MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED AND THIS SAME COMPLAINT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY NHSTA HASN'T LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT PRESENTS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND AFFECTS MULTIPLE CADILLAC MODELS FROM 2010 TO 2015. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO WORSEN AS THE CAR AGES.

  Complaint: 2014 Cadillac SRX Dim Headlights Subject: URGENT SAFETY HAZARD AND DEFECT: Severely Dim Headlights on 2014 Cadillac SRX (Affecting 2010-2016 Model Years) – Failure to Act Despite Class Action and NHTSA Complaints Vehicle Information: * Year: 2014 * Make: Cadillac * Model: SRX * VIN [XXX] 4 * Owner/Complainant [XXX] r * Contact [XXX] [XXX] m 1. The Defect and Safety Hazard The headlights on my 2014 Cadillac SRX have become severely and progressively dim, constituting a major safety hazard for night driving. * Hazard: The lack of adequate light output dramatically reduces visibility, compromises the driver's ability to see obstacles, and increases the risk of a severe accident during operation at night, dusk, or in poor weather. This is a critical failure of a core safety component. * Cause: The root cause is a well-documented design flaw in the headlight assembly (affecting 2010-2016 models) that allows moisture to enter the sealed unit. This moisture degrades the internal reflective coating, permanently destroying the light's effective output. 2. Failure to Act Despite Known Issues General Motors (GM) and the appropriate safety regulators have been aware of this critical defect for years, yet no mandatory safety recall has been issued: * NHTSA Complaint History: According to public records, complaints regarding this exact issue have been "pouring in" for the last five years or more. The high volume of complaints clearly demonstrates a systemic, widespread, and dangerous failure across this vehicle platform. * Class Action Lawsuits: This defect has been the subject of class action litigation against General Motors, further establishing that the company is fully aware of the design flaw and the resulting safety hazard. 3. The Unacceptable Repair Burden I am being forced to bear the cost of replacing the defective assembly with a new part that utilizes the same fundamentally flawed design.

  THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM ON THIS CAR THAT YOU HAVE TROUBLE SEEING THE ROAD AFTER DARK. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THOUGHT I HAD THE PARKING LIGHTS ON. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN SEE ON A DARK ROAD IS TO USE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS WHICH ONLY BLINDS THE ONCOMING DRIVERS. THESE LIGHTS ARE VERY DANGEROUS ON CITY STREETS AND TWO LANE ROADS AS YOU CAN'T SEE THE ROAD OR THE SIDES OF THE ROAD . I CAN NOT AFFORD THE $2000 OR MORE THAT IT COSTS TO GET THIS FIXED AS IT CAST OTHERS. THIS A PART DEFECT AND GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING FAULTY EQUIPMENT BEFORE CAUSES INJURY OR DEATH.

I HAVE HEARD WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT CADILLAC IS ACTUALLY SUING THE COMPANY THAT PRODUCES THE CUE PRODUCT.

I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH PAYING FOR WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT TO HAVE THE MAIN CONTROL SYSTEM GO DOWN WITHIN 4 YEARS AND LESS THAN 40K MILES ON MY VEHICLE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN I SAW HER CAR AND SHE WAS MOVING NOT STANDING STILL.

I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT SINCE THE LATE 1970S. I AM A GOOD DRIVER AND WAS NOT DISTRACTED IN ANY WAY. OVER $3,000 WORTH DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY CAR AND I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH TO THE VEHICLE I HIT. CADILLAC NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

AFTER A FEW DAYS THE CRACK SPREAD AND BEGAN AFFECTING THE TOUCH SCREEN. INITIALLY A SMALL SECTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN STOPPED RESPONDING TO TOUCH.
