I have several recalls that were not done to my vehicle. I moved around alot and when I asked the dealer, they said no. I found out that I paid for some of my recalls including the latest one with my headlights/ headlamps. They have been an issue for many years with water, moisture, the dealership said wear and tear, not so, faulty from all the complaints world-wide. I had purchased my vehicle straight up from the dealership in 2011. I have been the only driver and owner of my vehicle. Can you please help me recover all the recalls for my vehicle so my car can get fixed. Thanks again in advanced.

When the headlights are on the normal setting, they barely light up the road ahead. The brights must be turned on in order to see anything.

The headlights never have worked right. From day one, they never put out enough light to see to drive at night. They come on, but you cannot see unless you turn on the brights.

There is moisture in the headlamps which has caused the lights to dim to the point that it is unsafe to drive at night. I can see when I turn on the high beams but I can only do that when there is no oncoming traffic.

When using low beams it's like driving blind! you can barely see a foot in front of you at night. Must use high beams at night or risk your life due to lack of visibility due to discoloration/problem with lens covers!

The headlights on the car don't work properly. They are too dim to see at night. You can't see the roadway at all. Light replacement doesn't fix problem. Is a problem that the car was built with. Others I know are having the same issue. There needs to be a national recall on this to help safe people from traffic accidents that are the manufacturers fault.

Headlights are dim on low beam with condensation present inside housing. Very dangerous nighttime driving. Must use high beams in order to see to drive which also creates very dangerous driving conditions in the face of oncoming traffic. Have also had rear axle repaired which appears to be a very common problem with Cadillac Srx models

I bought the used car about one month ago. I was extremely happy with the car until I had to drive it one night. It was like driving a car at night using one 6 volt battery operated flash light forr the low bea M head lights.. after reviewing the massive on line complains, I call Cadillac direct and ask for help. They suggested I take it to a GMC dealership in mckinney Texas. I was told they could repair 100 percent for $,890. I agreed and paid and left the car for an entire day. The car was returned that evening and I drove it that night with no improvement what soever. They is no way this car could pass a Texas safety inspection. I am a heart and lung and kidney patient and my wife drives me and its raining some days and dark early evening now and this is a dangerous vehicle! you can't see a thing and no one can see you at all!! what makes our vehicle more dangerous, its black and no one can see us at night or bad weather!! we need your help terribly before there's a tragic accident!!!

The driver side head light is significantly dimmer than the passenger side making night time driving almost impossible. We replaced the bulb with top of the line one, and when that did fix the problem, we returned it to the dealership to have them service it. We picked the car up after they also replaced the bulb but they said for us to call a Cadillac dealership to further help us. The Cadillac dealership confirmed there was a recall on my exact model and infor.ed us that we should be receiving a letter in the mail with further instructions, but we as of today, have not received.
