problem #2

Jun 142006

Tahoe 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 159,000 miles
Near miss with deer due to headlight lens obscurity: - while driving down fm 2252, I almost struck a dog that was walking toward the road - the plastic headlight cover has become fogged and nearly opaque, leading to obscured visibility and greatly decreased the distance the light carries - new headlight lenses (~$240 a piece) were obtained.

problem #1

Tahoe 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
Plastic headlight lenses have become cloudy reducing light projected onto the roadway ahead. Frequently the headlights of a vehicle following are so much brighter then mine that I can see the center line better in their lights. You can't drive safely if you can't see the road and lane markings.
