Owner report 11544985 · 2023-09-17 (September 17, 2023)
Headlights on vehicle “droop” after driving 20 minutes or more. They start off okay and then become non existent l, pointing directly down toward the pavement in front of the vehicle and you can’t see more than 1 car length in front of you. You must turn the vehicle off and then back on to reset the headlights to drive. This is a huge safety issue for driving at night.

Owner report 11546227 · 2023-09-24 (September 24, 2023)
Headlights start dropping as car is driven. Every 10 to 15 miles must pull car over and restart as you can not see further than a car’s length in front of you. Cycle car off and then back on the headlights return to normal for another 10 miles. Also seems that some of the individual lamps start pointing upward blinding oncoming drives even with most of the lamps are pointing down in front of the less than a cars length. Seems the headlights are making adjustments be are not correct until you do a power cycle.

Owner report 11547021 · 2023-09-28 (September 28, 2023)
The headlamps in the Cadillac Lyriq are supposed to be self leveling, maintaining a consistent throw throughout a drive. My left headlamp droops significantly after 10-15 minutes of driving, failing to throw its beam more than 15 feet ahead. This poses a a safety risk because it decreases my ability to see pedestrians or road hazards. This has not been reviewed by a Cadillac dealer yet because it is a known issue to which GM had no current solution. There are no warning signals that appears in the car’s screen. The two pictures below show the h…
