NHTSA Complaint #10957597 — 2012 CADILLAC SRX

MY WIFE AND I WERE RETURNING HOME FROM AN PATRIOTIC CONCERT WHEN WE LOSS THE HEADLIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK LEFT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION DISPLAY. WHEN WE GOT HOME I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD MOISTURE IN IT AND THE LIGHT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEAL FOR REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT I MAY WANT TO REPLACE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE MOISTURE IN THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE LIGHT COULD FAIL AGAIN IF THE ASSEMBLY ISN'T REPLACED. I ASKED IF THE PROBLEM WAS A KNOW ISSUE; THE SERVICE MANAGER SAY IT HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN. I TOLD HER TO ORDER THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE SRX THAT GOES BACK TO 2010 SRXS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING BOTH HEADS IN AN INOPPORTUNE TIME AND CADILLAC SHOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. 95 PROBLEMS REPORTED; NO DEATHS YET.
