I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF TO REPORT THE HEADLIGHT COVERS ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET SSR ARE MELTING FROM THE HEAT OF THE HEADLIGHT. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHEVROLET BUT THEY SAY MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFE FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME AND HAVE NEVER HAD THE HEADLIGHT COVERS MELT.
