Consumer Description

THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHT LENS IN THIS YEAR VEHICLE FROSTS INSIDE THE LENS HOUSING AND BLOCKS ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD AHEAD. PEOPLE ARE DRIVING THIS MODEL WITHOUT REPLACING THEM DUE TO THE UNACCEPTABLE HIGH PRICE PLACED ON THEM DUE TO THE LACK OF AVAILABILITY AND THE FACT THAT THEY MUST BE REPLACED. PEOPLE, BECAUSE OF THE PRICE, ARE NOT REPLACING THEM AND THIS MAKES THE CAR AN ACCIDENT LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAPPEN.
