Problems with 2012 Cadillac SRX EXTERIOR LIGHTING

The low beam headlights on a 2012 cadillac srx 4 that i just purchased are too dim to drive at night. i had to drive with the high beams on which causes a hazard to oncoming traffic, but i literally can not see the road with low beams on which is very likely to cause an accident. i had someone pull right out in front of me, presumably because the lights were too dim for them to see me coming. i had people flashing their lights at me and one person told me at a red light, that my headlights were off. i had to go straight home and haven't driven the car since. it is a state law in nc that headlights need to be on when wipers are being used. if the headlights aren't visible in the dark, they definitely won't be visible in the rain. the headlights on this vehicle are so dim that it appears they aren't on at all even in the dark. after reading all of the reports of this, i can't imagine how this has not become a safety recall?!?! it seems like exactly the type of thing that a manufacturer should have ...

We were driving back from dinner it was dark and raining all of a sudden the driver side low beam headlight stopped working i could not see the centerline and almost had a head-on collision then there was a police car in back of me and pulled us over for no headlight saying that he knew off other people with the same happening issued a warring and we proceeded up the roar with caution

Can not see the road with low beams on. very dangerous. can not drive car at night

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 cadillac srx. while driving at night, the low beam headlights were very dim. the contact was unable to see the road and had to used the high beam headlights. the vehicle was taken to massey cadillac orlando north (4241 n john young pkwy, orlando, fl 32804, (855) 934-7395) where it was diagnosed that the entire headlight components on both sides needed to be removed to be able to replace the headlights. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Low beam headlamps have dimmed to the point of having to use the high beams all the time. understand there has been a problem with this year's headlamp assembly with water entering inside and dimming the lamps. have contacted gm/cadillac as there was a service bulletin issued. we were never informed of prior litigation and feel that this is a safety problem and should be addressed by gm/cadillac. thank you

The headlights on my 2012 cadillac srx are extremely dim and the vehicle is not safe to drive at night. this is the same issue that other drivers throughout the u.s. have experienced with this make and model car. see https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2019/cadillac-srx-headlight-recall-lawsuit.shtml. i currently have the car in for service and was quoted $1700 to replace both headlight assemblies, which i have reluctantly agreed to pay since i have no other alternative. i do not understand why gm has not issued a recall for this problem since it is a serious safety issue when driving at night. fortunately, i have 2 vehicles so i try to avoid driving the cadillac srx at night.

The headlights are dim.

With headlights on low beam unable to see .have to drive vehicle with high beams on very unsafe.have done research on internet have found numerous complaints .

Low beam headlights have become very dim to the point that we are unable to drive at night safely and cannot drive at all during rain at night. contacted local dealer and told the cost would be at least $1300 because complete assembly must be replaced because replacing bulb only will not repair problem.

I absolutely can not drive my srx at night the dim headlights are so dim that i question whether they are even on it is a safety hazard not only for me and my family but also the others on the road this needs to be fixed

My low beam headlights are extremely dim. upon diagnosis, there is nothing wrong with the wiring or the bulbs but there is a defect with the headlights on the 2010 to 2015 cadillac srx's. it was explained to me that the seal fails and allows moisture in the headlight which causes a haze to build up in the enclosed light cover which in turn makes the lights dim. i have been unable to drive my vehicle at night because i can't even tell that the lights are on especially on a dark street or highway. when i did some research and spoke with gmc/cadillac i found that gmc/cadillac has a recall on the headlight assembly in two states only-california and florida even though the problem is more than likely nationwide. there is also a class action lawsuit against cadillac/gmc for this defect.

Low beams are too dim and have moisture build up and have to use high beams to drive safley at night

The low beam headlights on our 2012 cadillac srx are so dim they are unsafe and prevent the vehicle from being driven at night unless high beams can be used. gm is aware of the issue and has provided no fix, other than replacing the headlight assembly with the same faulty version.

Headlight assemblies have consistent water condensation. headlights are always very dim and often need replacing. condensation recurs even after servicing at cadillac and gm dealerships.

Low beam lights are too low to drive vehicle safely, high beams ok, this is a known complaint to gm but they are not doing anything about it
