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.
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"?"
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.

The glass and back piece of the headlights were glued together. The glass came off the headlight. Due to failure in the glue composite. Need to check all vehicles using that lot of glue. Each head light cost $88.78. Consumer wants to be reimburse for manufacture defect.
