Description of the problem	The rear license plate lights have failed. The led bulbs are functional, but the wiring harness providing power to the lights has failed due poor routing of the harness resulting in broken wires and electrical shorts to the system. Other similar make and models of this car have suffered the same problem. The service department considerers this normal wear and tear. I consider this a manufacture defect.
