| Description of the problem | Over the last 5 years of having this vechicle i have replaces bulbs after bulbs low beam, high beam, brake light, tag light and so on. When having brake light replaced it was brought to my attention that my brake light housing is melting. One of the bulbs was hard to take out because the plastic assembly was melted to the bulb. I find this very dangerous this may can even cause a fire and i have to young children that's with me all the time. I see others have the same problem but there has not been a recall yet. |
