What owners wrote

Headlights have faulty seals causing condensation and water to lay inside the headlight causing the headlights to short out without any warning while driving on the highway at night, this is a very serious safety issue! Why is this not a recalll? Seems pretty serious 70MPH an any second complete darkness
