THE VEHICLE FAILED ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE HEADLIGHT DIMNESS. CHANGING THE BULBS OR WASHING THE LENS DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT LENS HAVE DISCOLORED FROM AGE. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. *AK
AT 50,000 MILES HEADLIGHT LENS COMMENCED TO FOG UP AND AND CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND STILL UNWILLING TO HELP. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK
THE HEADLIGHT LENS ON THE VEHICLE IS VERY CLOUDY WHICH RESULTS IN VERY LOW/LITTLE VISIBILITY. THE OLDER THE VEHICLE THE CLOUDER THE LENS BECOME. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE COST TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT LENS IS EXCESSIVE. THE COST IS BETWEEN $400.00-$500.00. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.
