| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have had lens covers fall off both front headlights. what should normally be a very low cost fix has resulted in repair/labor costs of over $300 for us as you cannot replace just the lens cover. as i was told, the "glue" whoch holds the lens cover on breaks down and results in the lens cover falling off. the entire headlight assembly has to be replaced (last year parts alone were $130...this year around 90 for the other headlight). this is an awful design! if i were able to replace just the lens cover (only needs to be glued back in place!), i wouldn't complain, but we are not looking at having to replace these "glued together" items at a cost of another $300+ within the next 5 years when this glue fails.*ak |
