Consumer Description

There appears to be a known issue with 2010-2016 Cadillac SRX models related to defective seals on the headlights that allow moisture to accumulate and condense, therefore damaging and dimming the headlight bulbs. My vehicle is a 2014 model and has recently been afflicted with this problem. The light quality has degraded so completely that I cannot drive the vehicle at night. In my research, it appears that this is a known and frequent issue with the 2010-2016 models. Apparently there have been class action lawsuits in the past and the manufacture at one point had a reimbursement program but that has since expired and the dealerships are instructed to simply replace the bulbs and reflectors, NOT actually repair the seal problem. ie. The issue will only repeat itself, particularly in warm Florida climates. Itr is my hope and others that a formal recall should be issued for adequate replacement of the headlights with good seals.
