| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Left front headlight fills with water and fogs up the lens cover thus hindering the beam of the headlight. water literally stands in the light so much that when you bring the vehicle to a stop with the lights on, the beam is like an ocean wave. i have returned it to the dealership but they say they all do that and there is no remedy. we have been told to drill a hole in the casing to drain the water. my vehicle was bought new in june 2003. this has been a problem from the beginning. it is getting progressively worse. water is now standing inside the lens. what happens when the freezing temperatures come? will my light freeze and burst? 2 of my family members also own ventures and this seems to be a problem for them also. i have noticed other ventures parked in parking lots and some of them also have a fogged up left headlight lens. i truly feel that gm should fix this problem. it has been this was since i drove it off the lot brand new. surely a company with as much technology as gm has they could come up with a remedy for this "leaking light". it really hinders your vision using the headlights. its like having a headlight out. standing water is also hard on the headlight bulbs. will this eventually cause an electrical short or possibly a fire at some point? *nm |
