NHTSA Complaint #10701623 — 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

ON OCTOBER 19, 2009, I PURCHASED A CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2007. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I NOTICED CONDENSATION IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT LENS AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN AT THE TIME THAT IT WOULD "BURN OFF" IF I KEPT THE LIGHTS ON. SINCE THAT TIME BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS HAVE DEVELOPED THE CONDENSATION ISSUE. THE CONDENSATION DOES NOT BURN OFF JUST KEEPS ACCUMULATING TO THE POINT WHERE THE HEADLIGHT BULB WOULD JUST BURN OUT. IN THE PAST SIX YEARS I HAVE REPLACED THE VARIOUS BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NINE TIMES AND THE BULB SOCKET ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN CORRODED AS A RESULT OF THE CONSTANT PRESENCE OF MOISTURE. OFTEN TIMES I WOULD BE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN THE BULBS WOULD GO OUT MAKING THIS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
