  MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER AS TIME GOES ON. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES, BUT I STARTED NOTICING AT LEAST 5,000 MILES AGO THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT THAT IT APPEARED AS IF I BARELY HAD ANY HEADLIGHTS SHINING IN FRONT OF ME. I WOULD TURN THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN, THINKING THEY WERE OFF BUT COULD BARELY TELL THE DIFFERENCE. WHEN I TURN CORNERS, I COULDN'T SEE WHERE THE ROAD WAS OR CURBS AND HAD TO ROLL DOWN MY DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGER WINDOWS TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND TO AVOID MISSING ROAD OR HITTING SOMETHING. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2010-2015 SRX HEADLIGHTS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM - UPWARDS OF 300,000 VEHICLES INVOLVED. CADILLAC AGREED TO REPLACE THOSE HEADLIGHTS, BUT USED THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF HEADLIGHT FOR THE REPLACEMENTS AND PEOPLE ARE AGAIN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM...... LIGHTS DIMMING OVER TIME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT NOW AS IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I FEEL MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME AS THAT BLINDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND CREATES ANOTHER HAZARD. HTTPS://CADILLACSOCIETY.COM/2020/03/10/OWNERS-CONTINUE-TO-STRUGGLE-WITH-CADILLAC-SRX-HEADLIGHTS/ I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER BUT LO AND BEHOLD, IT DOESN'T COVER HEADLIGHTS WHICH I WAS TOLD BY CADILLAC DEALER THAT THEY WERE $900 APIECE.

  After purchasing our 2016 Cadillac SRX we began to notice the head lites were becoming dimmer over time and now to a point that we are unable to drive at nite and need to put high beams on if subjected to nite driving .This creates a blinding hazard for oncoming vehicles. After several attempts of replacing bulbs to improve condition of lites I began to investigate and found that there is a recall for other year models of Cadillac SRX but 2016 is not included. This issue is widespread and undoubtedly will cause accidents and possibly death to motorist. Cadilac is aware of this issue and has yet to recall these vehicles to repair obvious and known issues.

  THE LOW BEAM (DIM LIGHTS) ARE HORRIBLE. I ALMOST HIT A MAN WALKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LAST NIGHT. YOU CANNOT SEE 30' IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON DIM. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON. THE HIGH BEAM WORKS GREAT, BUT VEHICLES COMING AT YOU ARE GETTING BLINDED BY YOUR HIGH BEAMS. YOU SWITCH TO LOW BEAM, THEN YOU CANNOT SEE! I HAVE SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. SHAME ON THE GOVERNMENT FOR NOT FIXING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

• 12/12/2024· STEERING,SUSPENSION,SERVICE BRAKES

  Case #: [XXX] ] I have a 2016 Cadillac SRX (VIN: [XXX] ) that I have owned for 8 years. Throughout this period, I have encountered some minor issues that were easily remedied. On [XXX], I started my car and some warning light came on. •The ABS light •The power steering light •The anti-skid traction light I contacted Scranton Motors in Vernon, CT and was told I had a faulty brake module: part number 20842710. Furthermore, I was told that this part number has been discontinued and no longer available. I contacted Cadillac customer care and spoke to customer service rep Alegra 866-790-5600 at extension 5918222 and she gave me a list of suppliers who may have this part. Again, I was told that this part was discontinued. The parts department had to go to the aftermarket to see if they could locate this part. It was found on eBay. I was told that the part could be installed but there is NO guarantee that it would work. I was left with no choice but to have the part installed knowing that I would be driving an unsafe vehicle that could malfunction at any time. As stated earlier this vehicle is about 8 years and what I do not understand is why Cadillac would stop production on such a critical part that could cause physical harm to its passengers. In doing some investigating I found the Cadillac Forum in which other owners experience the same problem. I have owned 4 Cadillacs over the last 9 years and for the most part I have been very happy with their performance. It appears to me that Cadillac should take some responsibility and compensate me for not producing a safe vehicle to drive. The trade in value according to Kelley Blue. Book is $14,000 and therefore, I should be reimbursed accordingly On December 12, 2024, I received a phone call from Scranton Motors advising me that the part that they had received from eBay did not work. Therefore, I cannot operate this vehicle and it is totally useless. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. ITS SO VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP. THERE ARE SEVERAL WEBSITES BACKING UP THE ISSUE WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS. LAWSUITS AND SO FORTH.

  These headlights have turn so dim its dangerous to drive at night. Its the lens inside that s deteriorating and nothing to do with the bulb. The dealer wants around 1500 to replace. This is a common problem with this vehicle. Cadillac offered only 50% of the repair but when i took it back to the dealer for service I got the run around again even though I had a reference number. Many people will not spend this large amount and it should be recalled. At night I must use the high beams to be safe but that annoys and is not safe to other drivers.

  THERE HAS BEEN A GRADUAL DIMMING OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT AT TIMES THEY ARE OF NO VALUE. THIS HAS CREATED A SERIOUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN. IT CREATES CRITICAL PERIODS WHEN I MUST USE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS IN TRAFFIC JUST TO SEE THE ROADWAY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONTIUING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AS I HAVE READ ABOUT SIMILAR DEFECTS AND POSSIBLE REMEIDIES.

• 11/21/2025· SERVICE BRAKES

  BRAKE, ABS, Wrench, check engine lights all began intermittently coming on. Before we could bring it into the dealer, it went into "limp mode" while at a very dangerous time and would not move forward while in "Drive". Had to abandon the car in a roadside parking lot. Finally able to get it to the dealer and after their inspection we were told it was NOT repairable. The EBCM module (part of the brake system) was defective and NO parts existed. When we pressed the dealer, no other options or resolutions were offered. Even if a part could be found at eBay, re-manufacturers, or junk yards, they would not touch it. I have had not luck finding a part, re-manufacturer, or repair shop that could be of any help. Right now it is a worthless piece of junk. All correspondence with the dealer has been verbal to this point.

  Low beam headlights are very dim, failing to illuminate the roadway, even with the brightest halogen bulbs available. creates a safety hazard as driver cannot sufficiently see the road ahead, especially when meeting an oncoming vehicle. In my vehicle it is worse on the driver's side, but both are extremely dim. Vehicle is unsafe to drive at night, creating hazardous situation for this vehicle as well as oncoming traffic. I purchased this vehicle used, as is, with no knowledge of headlight issues on this make/model vehicle.

  I was driving in the rain with the front windshield wipers on and when I attempted to adjust the speed with the lever on the steering wheel column the front wipers stopped working roughly 1/2 the way up on the windshield. It was raining, and I was not able to see the road in front of me. I managed to pull into a retail parking lot and waited for the rain to subside before continuing to drive the vehicle. The wipers do not work even after restarting the vehicle multiple times. I checked the fuse that that is not the problem. I have an appointment to get the wipers checked out and repaired at a GM dealership in 3 days (earliest appointment). There were no warnings or other indicators of a problem with the wipers.

  I am concerned with the lack of visibility that my low-beams provide. I live in a semi-rural area, where the streets are not well-lit, there are no curbs, and people walk along the edge of the street after dark. I contacted both Cadillac AND my dealer, and they both told me that it’s possible that the deal has eroded and caused dimming. I was told there was a class action suit that addressed this issue, but it expired before I purchased my car, and I was NOT made aware of it. I believe that Cadillac and Flow Cadillac of Greensboro are responsible, and I would like this remedied as soon as possible. I’m 66 years old, limited income, are am paying dearly for a car that I’m scared to drive at night. I did not realize this last fall/winter, as my nephew was borrowing my car, while his was in the shop (I drove my friends Lexus for the winter). Prior to owning this 2016 SRX, I had a 2007 Buick Rendezvous, with MUCH BETTER VISIBILITY AT NIGHT, and have a difficult time believing the the technology has regressed and Cadillac will not stand behind their product. Please help me. I don’t know what to do. They told me to replace the headlight system would be about $3400.

  Headlights The normal beam headlights are extremely dim, unable to operate the vehicle on the roadway at night. I had the bulbs replaced at an expense of $300 for parts and labor, which did not rectify the issue. The beams remain extremely dim, which is due to the faulty headlight assembly. GM has never acknowledge this issue after 1000's of complaints. GM did refund some owners of SRX 2010-2015 models for replacing the headlight assemblies, but failed to provide any resolution for owners of the 2016 - present models. If the vehicle must be operated at night, the only way to safety proceed is with the high beams, which doesn't provide for a safe environment for the other vehicles on the roadway. This must be addressed by GM, as people are risking their lives and the lives of others on the roadway. There were no prior warnings or indications of headlight failure. I first noticed this issue in 2021 and have been attempting to resolve it with GM since. GM comes across as it is not their problem and that I should get my headlights replaced at my own expense. What they don't understand is the replacement will be the same faulty make/model of the headlight assemblies I have today.

• 10/18/2022· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  The low beams have gotten so dim that driving at night has become hazardous. Both the passenger and driver side lights are dim but the passenger side is the worst. The problem is internal to the headlamp assembly. Cleaning the outer lens has no effect. The high beams function fine but we can't drive with the high beams all of the time because they blind oncoming drivers. When the lights switch back to low beams, it is almost like switching the lights completely off.

  APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED A SMALL STRESS FRACTURE APPEAR IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE CENTRAL DIGITAL DASHBOARD OF MY VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD PROJECTS SAFETY, ENTERTAINMENT AND AUTOMOBILE OPERATING STATUS (E.G. DEFLATED TIRES, ONSTAR ALERTS, ETC.). AS THE FRACTURE GREW IT REVEALED A SPIDER WEB OF FRACTURES DISTORTING THE DASHBOARD AND AFFECTING THE SYSTEM'S OPERATION. THE SYSTEM WOULD SUDDEN BEGIN FLASHING DIFFERENT ICONS, SWIPING FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING. THE DIGITAL ICONS ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL YET THE FRACTURES CONTINUE TO GROW AND THE DASHBOARD IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. WE REPORTED THE DEFECT TO MARVIN K. BROWN CADILLAC AND WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR, MERLE PORTER, SEVERAL OTHER SRX OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE, IN WHICH GM RECOGNIZED AS A VEHICLE DEFECT. MR. PORTER REPORTED THE DEFECT TO GM, HOWEVER, GM DID NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND REFUSED TO RECALL THE COMPONENT OR REPLACE THE COMPONENT. ON 09/29/2018, I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO GM ASKING FOR A FURTHER INVESTIGATION (CASE # 84675794778). THE ORIGIN OF THE FRACTURE IS LOCATED IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE PANEL AND NO EXTERNAL FORCE OR IMPACT IS VISIBLE AND NO DAMAGE WAS OCCURRED BY ME OR MY PASSENGERS. I FEEL THIS DEFECT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ITS DRIVER DISTRACTING RANDOMLY AND CONSISTING MOVING ICONS.
