Description of the problem	I have a 2006 ford focuszx3 with 58,000 miles. I recently took the car to the dealership for a tune up/oil change and it was noted that the 3rd brakelight was out. I bought bulbs to replace them and upon opening the 3rd brake light cover realized the housing which holds the bulbs is plastic, 2 of the bulbs had melted to the plastic, the other 3 bulbs were loose inside the cover after the plastic melted and caused them to fall out. I returned to the dealership showing them the part to which they stated "there are no recalls on this and the part is $49". I have seen several hatchback models such as my own with 3rd brake lights burnt out. I think this matter should be addressed as the consumers should not be responsible for the cost of repairing a problem which is obviously a defect and a safety hazard.
