2014 CADILLAC SRX Complaints

2014 CADILLAC SRX LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE GROWING PROGRESSIVELY DIMMER AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS. THIS OCCURED OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW WEEKS AND THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4.5 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF NEAR TOTAL DARKNESS. ALTHOUGH THE HI-BEAMS STILL WORK FINE, IT IS UNSAFE TO SUBJECT ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO CONSTANT USE OF HI-BEAMS, YET WITHOUT THEM THE SRX DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE EVEN THE LINES ON THE ROAD. SO VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS CADILLAC OWNER IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT, FOR FEAR OF HARMING HERSELF OR OTHERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT PROVIDING ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION. THE CONTACT HAD A PERSONAL MECHANIC CLEAN THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS, BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HERITAGE CADILLAC (7134 JONESBORO ROAD, MORROW, GA 30260, 770-872-0025) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM. THE LIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED.

HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM ARE UNSAFE AND VEHICLE CAN NOT SAFELY BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. WE RETURNED TO DEALERS WHO REPLACED BULB AFTER ONE BLEW OUT BUT NEW BULB DID NOT HELP. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET WE HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY CONSUMERS ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN NO EFFORT BY MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT. VERY UNSAFE.

CONCERN: EXTREMELY DIM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR CADILLAC SRX, SO DIM AND HAZARDOUS THAT WE CHOOSE TO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT AND NEVER IN RAIN. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH STRONG NEW BULBS FROM SYLVANIA (GOLD SERIES) HOWEVER THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. WE HAVE BEEN TO CADILLAC DEALERSHIP, THEY WANT TO CHARGE 1,900 DOLLARS TO REPLACE BOTH FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WITH THE SAME FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND CHARGE US FOR IT. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A BARELY 4 YR OLD CADILLAC THAT YOU CANT EVEN DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF SAFETY. MY CELLPHONE IS BRIGHTER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS, WE HAVE DONE THE COMPARISON. WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED OF PENDING LAWSUITS OVER THE SAME ISSUE, ACCIDENTS, ETC,...IT IS AS MUCH OF A SAFETY HAZARD AS I CAN THINK OF. A 4 YR OLD CADILLAC THAT YOU CANT DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FAULTY, WELL DOCUMENTED DESIGN FLAWS IN THE LIGHT. RIDICULOUS. THE SRX WITHOUT QUESTION A DANGER TO DRIVE AT DUSK, DARK, OR RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PROJECTOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNSET CADILLAC OF VENICE (LOCATED AT 2367 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, VENICE, FL 34293, (941) 584-8540) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE CLOUDING OF THE LENS, WHICH REDUCED THE ILLUMINATION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4929540255. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,837.

HEADLIGHTS WHILE ON LOW BEAM I CAN NOT SEE. THE HEADLINES ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. I CAN BARLEY SEE OVER THE HOOD. IT IS THE SAME WEATHER I AM IN MOTION OR NOT ALSO WEATHER IT ON THE HIGHWAY CITY OR ETC. IT DOES NOT MATTER

THE PROBLEM STARTED A YEAR AGO WITH THE LIGHTS BECOMING SEVERELY DIM AND UNSAFE AT NIGHT. IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS THE VEU SYSTEM HAS TAKEN A MIND OF ITS OWN AND USUALLY DOES NOT WORK FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE. NOW THE CAR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. IT'S LIKE IT'S SHORTED OUT THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WORST CAR EVER!!! I WILL NEVER BUY A CADILLAC EVER AGAIN.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE HORRIBLE, I HAVE A VERY HARD TIME SEEING AT NIGHT DUE TO THE LACK OF LIGHT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. I AVOID DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT DUE TO THE DIFFICULTY IN SEEING DUE TO THE LIGHTS. I CAN SEE FINE WITH MY OTHER CAR. SOMETIMES I AM FORCED TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHEN I SHOULD USE MY LOW BEAMS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. IT IS SUCH A HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A CADILLAC. I HAVE NOT HAD AN INJURY OR DAMAGE YET.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM WHEN ON LOW BEAM, IT IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. DUE TO THE LIGHTS BEING SO DIM YOU CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT UNLESS THE LIGHTS ARE ON HIGH BEAM WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I ALMOST HIT A DEER DUE TO THE LIGHTS BEING DIM. IT IS ALMOST LIKE NO LIGHTS ARE ON AT ALL.
