CONDENSATION IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE CAUSED BOT HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT. FIRST HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WHILE RAINING AT NIGHT ON A SECONDARY ROAD. ABOUT 5 DAYS LATER AFTER THE CONDENSATION DRIED THE HEAD LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THIS TIME THE LEFT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AFTER A PROLONGED RAIN AND NOW THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT IS OUT DUE TO CONDENSATION IN THAT ENCASEMENT. I BOUGHT THE GM MAJOR GUARD WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE, YET AM BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND GM THIS IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH IS A A TRUE SAFETY CONCERN. WHY IS GM NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. THIS EVENTUALLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEALED HEADLAMP HAD A BUILD UP OF WATER AND SHORTED OUT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.RT. 495 IN MA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CADILLAC SRX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HIGH AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED AND THAT THERE WAS WATER INSIDE THE SEALED HEAD LAMP UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR 6 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER AND OVER FROM THE ENGINE LIGHTS ,STABILIZE BAR, POWER STEERING, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, ANTI LOCK BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, SECURITY LIGHT, CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, WOULD NOT START, REMOTE NOT DETECTED, SUNROOF LEAKS, OIL LEAK, SEAT BELT, BRAKES PROBLEM, GAS MILE NOT ACCURATE,

BOTH HEAD LIGHTS FILLED UP WITH SO MUCH CONDENSATION IT SHORTED THE BULBS TO WHERE THEY DID NOT WORK AT ALL....IN THE RAIN...LATE AT NIGHT!...ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR!! I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING AND HAD TO USE FLOOD LAMPS ON MY DRIVE HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. LOOKED THIS UP AND IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL....THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THERE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A CRASH OR FATALITY IF I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING IN UNCOMFORTABLE CONDITIONS!

I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS ON CADILLAC SRX AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE JUST TO REPLACE THE PART. THE LIGHT JOUST GOES OUT IF YOUR DRIVING OR NOT AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT PLUG ASSEMBLY ON THE 2010 SRX. THE FAULTY PLUG WOULD CAUSE THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS TO NOT FUNCTION. THE PLUG WOULD ALLOW FOR THE HIGH BEAMS TO WORK PROPERLY BUT THE PLUG WOULD NOT ALLOW THE HALOGEN LOWBEAM SAID TO WORK. DAVID TAYLOR SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER A FEW YEARS LATER THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME COMPLETELY INOPERABLE CAUSING THE DRIVER TO HAVE ZERO VISIBILITY WHILE USING THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HIGHBEAMS WOULD WORK PERFECTLY. I ARGUED WITH THE DEALER THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PLUG HOWEVER THEY INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURING ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE LOW BEAM LENS AND IN TURN CLOUD THE LENS. I INSISTED OTHERWISE BECAUSE THERE WAS VISIBLE CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BUT NONE IN THE LOW BEAMS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS SITUATION HAD ME OVER A BARREL BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAD ALREADY BEEN RISKING THEIR LIFE AND OTHER DRIVERS LIVES ON THE ROAD WHILE BEING FORCED TO DRIVE WITH ONLY HIGH BEAMS OR WITHOUT ANY ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD WAY AT ALL. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SPEND 1500 DOLLARS ON HEADLIGHTS. NOW REGARDLESS OF THE REASON WHETHER IT WAS A FAULTY MANUFACTURED PLUG OR A FAULTY SEALED MANUFACTURED HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY THE PROBLEMS IT POSES ARE THE SAME. CADILLAC HAS A POORLY MANUFACTURED HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND PLUG ASSEMBLY THAT ARE ENDANGERING PEOPLE'S LIVES. WHEN THESE LOW BEAMS BECOME INOPERABLE THE DRIVER HAS ZERO VISIBILITY AND ARE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN DRIVING WITH THEIR HIGHBEAMS ON AND BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS OR DRIVING WITHOUT ANY HEADLIGHTS WHICH COULD CAUSE DEATH OR BODILY HARM TO THE DRIVER OR ANY PROPERTY OR PERSONS THAT THE DRIVER CANNOT SEE. CADILLAC KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT ARE WILLING TO RISK PEOPLE'S LIVES IN ORDER TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS. THEY HAVE A FAULTY PRODUCT THAT THE NHTSA SHOULD RESOLVE BEFORE THERE IS LOSS OF LIFE

THE REAR LIFT GATE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE SUNROOF DRAIN APPARENTLY IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT DRAIN AND AS A RESULT ALLOWS WATER TO SHORT OUT AND DESTROY THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE DRAIN THAT SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. THE REAR LIFT GATE BECAME INOPERABLE AGAIN THIS TIME BECOMING COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THE CADILLAC DEALER DAVID TAYLOR BLAMED THE SUNROOF DRAIN ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT WARRANTY THEIR PAST WORK NOR THEIR FUTURE ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM SAYING ONLY THAT AT ANY TIME THE DRAIN COULD BECOME CLOGGED AGAIN CAUSING THE CONTROL MODULE TO SHORT OUT AND IF IT WAS PAST ONE YEAR OR TWELVE THOUSAND MILES THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER GRAND TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN. SO BASICALLY A RECALL ITEM A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT IS ARESPONSIBILITY OF CADILLAC IS NOW A REOCCURRING PROBLEM THAT IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO SPEND A THOUSAND DOLLARS EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS FOR A NON WEATHER ABLE ITEM. THIS IS NOT A MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION OR A SET OF TIRES THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER AND THEREFORE THE DEALER. THE REAR LIFT GATE IS DANGEROUS WHEN OPERABLE DUE TO OPENING AND CLOSING IMPROPERLY ERRATICALLY AND UNEXPECTANTLY POSSIBLY GETTING AN ADULT CHILD OR ANIMALS LIMBS OR EXTREMITIES CAUGHT IN THE LIFT GATE. ALSO WHEN THE LIFT GATE BECOMES COPLETELY INOPERABLE ONE MIGHT HAVE A LIMB OR EXTREMITY CAUGHT AND NOT HAVE ANY MEANS OF OPENING THE LIFT GATE MANUALLY FOR WHEN IT STOPS WORKING THERE IS NO WAY TO RELEASE IT. CADILLAC IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF THIS UNIT AND ARE RISKING CONSUMERS SAFETY BUT JUST REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. 780000 GM LIFT GATES RECALLED WHY NOT CADILLAC
