LIGHTING WE OWN TWO ESCALADES FROM 2008 AND HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN BOTH CARS. CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHTS AND BURN THEM OUT WE WERE QUOTED $1,000 FOR EACH HEADLIGHT TO FIX MIN!!! HEATED SEATS ARE OUT IN BOTH TRUCKS RIMS ARE PITTED AND PEALING. HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE RIMS WEEKS AFTER ROLLING OUT OF THE SHOWROOM SO DISAPPOINTED

2008 CADILLAC ESCLADE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LEAKING HEAD LIGHTS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WATER ENTERED THE HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES. *JB

I HAD A HEADLIGHT THAT WAS OUT AND NOT WORKING DUE TO CONDENSATION AND MOISTURE BUILD UP. I WAS GOING TO GET IT FIXED AND WAS SCHEDULED FOR A FEW DAYS OUT TO GET IT REPAIRED. WHILE I WAS TRYING (AT NIGHT) THE OTHER ONE WENT OUT!! IT WAS TOTALLY DARK. I KEEP HAVING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BC THE MOISTURE KEEPS BUILDING UP OVER AND OVER. IT POSES A SAFETY RISK AND IS UNREASONABLE TO KEEP REPAIRING AT $1000 PER ENCASING AND $120 PER BULB. ITS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE IN 3 YEARS! *TR

EXTREMELY BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS ON MANY NEWER VEHICLES CAUSE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION FOR ONCOMING VEHICLES. THESE LIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY TEMPORARILY BLIND THE PERSON ON THE ONCOMING LANE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN RAINY CONDITIONS. *TR
