Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Purchased a second chevrolet impala with same defect with tail light compartment. holds water indefinitely, not just condensation. i now have a 2003 and used to have a 2002 with same problem. causes light bulbs to go out frequently and also alarm will go off when opening trunk which i suspect maybe a short in wiring due to water. i have contacted a local chevrolet dealer's service dept as well as gm corporate and they are familiar with problem but no with no recalls yet to provide resolution of what i believe is a safey hazard when light bulbs continue to go out. of course they want me to pay to replace defective taillight assembly that may still have some condensation problems.
