Consumer Description
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY GM AND THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE REPAIRS. MANY FORUMS DISCUSS THIS SINCE IT INVOLVES THE CADILLAC SRX FROM 2011-2015. ALL THEY GO IS REPLACE THE WEATHER STRIPPING AROUND THE LIGHT BUT THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE. MY WIFE AND I ARE PRETTY MUCH CONFINED TO DAYTIME DRIVING BECAUSE THE LOW BEAMS ARE SO USELESS AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN THAT YOU REALLY WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH CANDLES. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE FOR AN EMERGENCY LAST NIGHT AND ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT ON A COUNTRY ROAD BECAUSE THE LIGHTS DID NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD GOOD ENOUGH TO SEE WHERE I WAS DRIVING. SERVICE CENTER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT THERE IS. THEY HAVE BETTER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THEM. GM JUST STALLS AND STONEWALLS THE CUSTOMER. I HAD THE BRIGHTEST LOW BEAM BULB REPLACED IN BOTH LIGHTS BUT THE HEADLIGHT DESIGN IS THE PROBLEM. MOST EXPENSIVE PEACE OF TRASH I HAVE EVER OWNED. BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE PURCHASING IN 2017.
