NHTSA complaint #10816372, filed 2015-12, 198,650 miles

“Over the course of the last couple years I have noticed that the lenses that cover the headlights on my 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager have become increasingly hazed, or fogged over. The hazing has caused the light to become so diffused, that driving at night has become very difficult at best. If the weather is bad (rain, or heavy snow) at night it is almost impossible to see properly. I have seen a number of other Plymouth voyagers that appear to have the same problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #10182136, filed 2007-02

“For several years the lenses covering my headlights are getting more and more hazed. This is not due to anything I have done on my part. The hazing has caused the lights to become so dense that night driving is becoming extremely dangerous. I am now very caution and limit my night driving with this vehicle. I have also began to notice other grand voyagers experiencing the same difficulty. This hazing is not from my own abuse through automatic car washes or from neglect. It is a defect. …”
