Since purchasing this vehicle we have replaced the drivers side headlight 6 times. In this same time period we have replaced the passenger side headlight only once. This concerns me, as it makes me think there is a wiring problem & a possibility of a more severe problem

Rear tail lights constantly have moisture in them. They say this will evaporate when it warms up. Doesn't warm up in Wisconsin during long winters - hello!
