Headlight Concealment Device Problems of Chevrolet Venture

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Venture. The contact stated when it would rain, water would enter the head light and directional turn signal lights. The bulbs were continuously burning out due to condensation from the water. The front right directional bulb caused the socket and wires to overheat. The dealer stated the failure was common and recommended drilling a small hole in the bottom of the headlight assembly to allow the water to flow out. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,000 and the current mileage was 66,143.

There is moisture in the head lamp housing. This moisture causes the inside to fog over reducing the amount of light. The lack of light makes it hard to see objects at night.

The contact stated there was water in the headlights. The headlights worked but not as brightly as intended. The vehicle has been to the dealership, and they stated it was a defect in the drip system. The vehicle has not been repaired due to the excessive expense. Updated 12/20/05.

My headlight lenses have fallen off on three separate occasions. This is clearly a faulty design as the lenses are merely glued on the front of the headlight assembly. Because of the glue wearing away on the headlight cover, water gets into the assembly and causes the halogen lights to short out. This to me is a very serious problem. I think that the manufacturer should admit to this and recall the vans and replace with a new design. Why does it always take someone's death and a lawsuit to get something taken care of. I have had to replace the lights three times. The last time I put duct tape around the outside of the lenses to keep them on. Why should I have to do that???.

The front headlamps on the 1997-2004 Chevrolet, pontiac, & Oldsmobile vans do not release moisture from the capsule causing the light to glaze over time. I have replaced front lights twice since owning the vehicle. The glaze on the headlights dramatically reduces your visibility at night to see what is out there, potentially able to cause an accident.

In Feb. /March 2004, right headlight assembly lens fell off, exposing lamp to weather. In July 2004, left headlight lens fell off. We had to replace the entire assembly in both cases. Cost about $160 each time. Dealer installed new assemblies and told us the failure is due to adhesive breakdown but not covered by Chevrolet. The vehicle is a 1998 chevy Venture LS with 75000 mile in Feb and 80000 miles in July.

Both headlights have a heavy condensation, causing reduced visibility during the night and obstructing the consumer's view. The headlights had been replaced four times for the same problem. The condensation was so severe that it puddled when the glass was tapped which would cause it to blow out during night driving and cause a problem on the back unlit roads.

Both headlight housings collect and retain water, fogging the headlight lens. Attempted to replace a burned out turn signal bulb, located in same housing, found the bulb socket was charred and the bulb base was heat welded into the socket. Checked other housing and found same conditions.

1998 Chevrolet Venture headlight assembly. Constant condensation/moisture inside drive and passenger side units causing a foggy or burned effect and rendering headlights virtually useless. After many years, I've noticed many different model years of the Venture and its Oldsmobile cousin have the same problem. The headlight assembly should be replaced, at no charge, form the auto maker.
