We are driving blind !!!! purchased our 2015 cadillac srx awd in november 2017 after researching on both consumer reports and edmunds... did our test drive in daylight... now that we're owners we realize the car cannot be driven at night. the low beam headlamps are so dim its worse than driving with parking lights only. we are now shocked to see that there are many serious complaints about this very problem all over the web everywhere except for the two above mentioned reviewers .it's literally like driving in the dark. we have to coordinate who has the car when just to get home safely. please do not ignore this!!! this is a serious flaw in gm manufacturing... cant believe it had not been addressed. operating this vehicle after dark risks injury or death. dealership turning blind eye. they were happy to get rid of it? we will not let this go and intend to do all we can to expose, and demand this problem is rectified asap.

Exterior front lights are dangerously dim when driving after dusk and into the night time. it is very hard to see while driving. while stopped i checked the lights to see if they were on and they were but while driving i have to ride with my bright lights on to see. i took it to the dealership and they said that nothing like this has ever been reported but it is not true. they adjusted my front lights thinking it was the beam but it did not help this should be a recall since this is very dangerous and someone is going to get killed.

The passenger side low beam headlight is extremely dim. i am having trouble seeing to drive at night unless lights are on high beam.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 cadillac srx. the contact stated that the dimmer failed to function properly and the daytime running lamps did not illuminate brightly enough. the contact had to apply the high beam headlights in order to see the road. andrews cadillac (1 cadillac dr, brentwood, tn 37027, (615) 200-9076) was contacted and were aware of the failure, but stated there was no remedy. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was not available.

Front headlights are dimming out. headlights are not giving sufficient enough lighting for driving at night. headlights output is poor. i have experienced near accidents with other vehicles and pedestrians at night because of i can't see the lane dividing lines on highways and streets while driving at night because of the factory headlights dimming. the headlights doesn't even light up inside of my garage when projected at in close range. (i have included a photo)

On or about september 11, 2017, i encountered a life threatening situation due to the defective headlamps on my 2015 cadillac srx. i had to evacuate to virginia from florida due to hurricane irma. as i was driving up a steep mountainside at night to get to my destination, i noticed i could barely see the road in front of me. i was put in a very dangerous situation, as i could not use my bright lights because that would "blind" the cars coming down the mountain in the opposite direction. this was a life threatening situation as one wrong maneuver could send you off the side of the mountain or head-on into another vehicle or pedestian. upon my return to florida, i immediately took my car into the dealership and they acknowledged the problem as fog and haze covering the lens due to "weather" and replaced both headlamps. on may 13, 2018, i noticed the same head lamp dimness while driving at night making it difficult to see the road or pedestrians or anything. i returned to the dealership and they said the same thing happened again to the driver's side headlamp and replaced it. this has been less than a year since the initial replacement. clearly there is a defect with the design and/or integrity of these headlamps and a newer version must be manufactured. i live in florida and if moisture is causing this, this will be an ongoing problem. this is very costly to fix, not to mention, life threatening as you are unable to see the road or pedestrians or anything else while driving at night with barely any light illuminating the path in front of your vehicle.

2015 cadillac head lights on dim is where i am unable to drive at night. they are very dim and after taking to dealer when it was still under warranty there was nothing that they could do. this needs to be a recall on gmc. if anything should happen to me while driving at night, gmc will be held liable for any injuries or deaths. i have three times where a car has pulled out in front on me and we almost collided. please respond to this complaint with the latest news on this problem.

Headlights are not working on dim setting, ok on bright but dim is so dim you can't see. i've have tried to have it repaired but no one has been able to fix it. very dangerous can't drive the vehicle at night.

The low beam headlights are so dim it makes the car undriveable at night. the dealership stated its a know problem and would cost about 1500.00 to fix. this car is unsafe to drive at night. i have found its been going on for years on the srx. please help. should be a recall on this unsafe car.

Headlights are so dim that it requires high beams at night.

My low beam headlights do not produce enough light to drive safely at night. one light seems to be a little worse than the other one. they are definitely unsafe. it seems this is a common complaint with these vehicles. something must be done.

Low beam headlights very dim and have been since the vehicle was new in january of 2015. contacted dealer and was informed this was a common problem with the srx for which there was no fix. on my third set of aftermarket halogen bulbs with only marginal improvement. consider it somewhat dangerous to drive this vehicle during night time hours. this issue happens with headlight switch in automatic or when selecting the "headlight on" position. headlights also appear to be aimed too low but dealership chose not to verify and there dopes not appear to be an adjustment screw; the manual states that the dealer's body shop should aim the lights.
