The low beam headlights are dangerously dim, rendering night driving extremely hazardous.  Despite GM's awareness of this defect, as evidenced by technical service bulletins and customer satisfaction campaigns, no adequate solution has been provided. My warranty has expired, but this defect is not due to any action on my part; it is a clear manufacturing flaw. The moisture accumulation within the headlight assemblies leads to electrical failures and corrosion, significantly impairing visibility. I had the same headlight issue with my 2011 Malibu and the pains it took to replace the headlights and wiring has been an unnecessary hassle. Do you know that they charge $200 to replace Malibu headlights? Is that reasonable?  Speaking of the financial burden of repairing defective headlights, for the Cadillac SRX, the estimated repair cost is between $1,500 and $5,000, is unreasonable and unacceptable, especially considering the systemic nature of this problem. GM\u2019s proposed reimbursements have been insufficient and do not address the root cause, as replacements continue to use the same flawed components.  Several lawsuits have been filed against GM due to these defective headlights. The plaintiffs in these cases have reported severe safety hazards, including accidents caused by the dim headlights. One plaintiff stated, \"I had an accident due to the low beam lights on my 2012 Cadillac SRX. It was still dark at 5:30 AM when I failed to see the outer road turned which caused me to collide with a curb and become airborne. This accident caused 3 blown-out tires and 2 ruined rims. This cost me $1700 and it was all caused by the extremely dim low beam headlights\".  Another plaintiff mentioned, \"We are afraid of driving our car, a 2015 Cadillac SRX, at night because you can not see. Later we learned that there is an inherent problem with the design of the headlight assembly seal","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"CADILLAC","productModel":"SRX","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
