WATER ENTERS THE HEADLIGHTS. CONDENSATION COVERS THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT LENSES AND REDUCES LIGHT OUTPUT. *TR

LIGHTS IN FRONT KEEP SHORTING OUT(TURN SIGNAL AND NIGHT). ASSEMBLY FELL APART (BOTH FRONT). REAR LIGHTING ASSEMBLY INSIDES BURNED UP 3 OF THE 6 CONNECTORS. HAVE REPLACED LIGHTS, FUSES, ETC AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH FOR THE LAST YEAR FOR THE FRONT LIGHTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET VENTURE. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN IT WOULD RAIN, WATER WOULD ENTER THE HEAD LIGHT AND DIRECTIONAL TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS. THE BULBS WERE CONTINUOUSLY BURNING OUT DUE TO CONDENSATION FROM THE WATER. THE FRONT RIGHT DIRECTIONAL BULB CAUSED THE SOCKET AND WIRES TO OVERHEAT. THE DEALER STATED THE FAILURE WAS COMMON AND RECOMMENDED DRILLING A SMALL HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO ALLOW THE WATER TO FLOW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,143.

Mileage: 63,000

DURING ANNUAL VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT HEADLIGHTS WHERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR INSPECTION RULES. HEADLIGHTS FILLING WITH MOISTURE BEHIND CLEAR PLASTIC LENSES OF BOTH HEADLIGHTS. CHROME REFLECTIVE MATERIAL ON REFLECTOR OXIDIZING IN BACK OF HEADLIGHT. TWO HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR VEHICLE TO PASS SAFETY INSPECTION. *TR

HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ON MY 2004 CHEVY VENTURE VAN FILLED WITH WATER REDUCING THE LIGHT COMING FROM THE ASSEMBLIES AT NIGHT. *TR

I HAVE BEEN STOPPED & WARNED BY OTHERS CONSTANTLY SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE ABOUT HAVING NO BRAKE LIGHTS, EXCEPT FOR THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, ABOVE THE REAR GLASS. I REPLACED TWO BULBS 3057 IN THE TAIL EIGHTS AT LEAST EVERY 3 WEEKS. THE BULBS LOOKED FINE. I HAVE TO REMOVE, SOMETIMES REPLACE, SOMETIMES JUST RESET THE BULBS. BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP COUNTLESS TIMES ,TO NO AVAIL! VERY FRUSTRATING & DANGEROUS. WILL CAUSE CRUISE CONTROL TO FAIL - GENERALLY THE FIRST WARNING I HAVE TO ALERT ME OF THE TAIL LIGHT FAILURE. JUST WAITING TO BE REAR ENDED!*AK
