Headlight covers fall off when driving and headlights go out. Dangerous for night driving. I've spoke with many other owners and look up information on the internet. This is a common problem with the glue they used to seal the headlights. The replacement headlight covers have a different sealant that fixes the problem. Both headlight covers fell off on different dates.

Vehicle parked. Noticed headlight cover was loose & wobbly. Touched cover & it fell off in consumers hand. Will be taking vehicle to dealer to check & replace cover.
- Center City, MN, USA
Headlight lenses keep falling off, causing the bulb to explode. Moisture gets inside the lens. Manufacturer had them replaced the first time 11/98. Currently, manufacturer will not repair them due to expired warranty. This causes a distortion of the head lights when they are in use. The moisture is not drying out.

- Franklin, TN, USA
Headlamp covers fall off due to improper sealant applied between cover and lamp assembly, exposing lamp assembly and bulb to weather conditions, resulting in explosive failure of halogen bulb. Similar incident occured on same vehicle with right front headlamp 6 mos. Previous. Assembly replaced at no charge by dealer. Remaining sealant in headlamp assembly is completely dried and brittle to the point where it crumbles to dust when handled. This adhesive couldn't hold a stamp on an envelope!!!
