problem #2

Jun 152002

Silhouette 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,500 miles
Headlights unsafe for nighttime driving. Excessive moisture buildup in the headlight since the vehicle was new has led to excessive clouding of the headlight lens. Also, the plastic lens has begun to disintegrate and feels "rough" to the touch (I.e. no longer smooth when touching the exterior surface of the lens). Nighttime lighting capability has been reduced by about 60% due to faulty headlight lens. Vehicle unsafe for nighttime driving.
