2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2014

I had to start replacing head lights due to moisture in my head lights. This is a manufacturing problem. I have mention this to chevy several times when we had the car service. The response was this is normal. This is not normal. They wanted me to pay half of the cost. I refused. They said that because it's not under warranty. I pray one night that I'm not driving and get into a accident due to light failure. This should be recall to prevent accidents and added expense due to chey negligence. I have own many cars and never had moisture in my head lights. I would like this to be corrected by chey. I'm not able to provide dates from last year, when I brought it up to the chevy dealership. They would have that information when the car got service . Chevy Equinox 2008.
