| Description of the problem | After driving down the interstate i pulled up at my hotel to valet my car. When i walked to the back of my car i realized that my driver's side tail light was hanging by the wires. After further inspection i was able to determine that all of the plastic mounting tabs were broken. The dealership indicated they had seen this same problem before, but would not replace mine because the mileage was over 60k. This should be a recall item in my opinion considering brake lights/ tail lights are important to have! |
