What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet venture. He stated the brake lights were inoperable. Upon attempting to change the light bulbs, he noticed the socket and the circuit boards were melted because of irregular electric flow. The risk of vehicle crash is increased if the ability to signal intentions to other drivers is not available. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current was 72,000. The VIN was not available.
Left front headlight fills with water and fogs up the lens cover thus hindering the beam of the headlight. Water literally stands in the light so much that when you bring the vehicle to a stop with the lights on, the beam is like an ocean wave. I have returned it to the dealership but they say they all do that and there is no remedy. We have been told to drill a hole in the casing to drain the water. My vehicle was bought new in june 2003. This has been a problem from the beginning.
