NHTSA Complaint #11166398 — 2013 CADILLAC SRX

THE VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM TO A POINT WHERE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT BRIGHT OR HIGH BEAMS ON. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED DANGEROUS CONDITIONS WHEN DRIVING ON DARK OR DIMLY LIT ROADS AT NIGHT. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM WE WERE TOLD THAT WAS NO SOLUTION AND THAT GM WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. WHEN THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE WAS CALLED, NO ASSISTANCE WAS GIVEN AFTER REPEATED PROMISES THAT SOME ONE WOULD RETURN OUR CALL. WE WERE FINALLY TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS THAT WOULD COST ABOUT $135. MY COMMENT WAS, WHY WOULD I PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS WHEN I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT CANNOT BE FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SUPPOSE IT IS CHEAPER FOR GM TO SETTLE DEATH CLAIMS THAN ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
