NHTSA complaint #11324422, filed 2020-05, 45,365 miles“I purchased this vehicle 2 weeks ago never been happier. My complaint is about my headlights they have serious condensation in both and there is about an inch or 2 of water inside the headlights. This issue is causing bad visibility with low lighting. I have tried everything to keep the water out and provide headlights with proper air so this doesn't happen. How come Chevrolet didn't recall these headlights due to poor design and improper ventilation. What can I do besides spend $200.00 on 2 new ones?”
