| Description of the problem | This is the second time the bulb in the back brake light melted into the socket and i've changed the bulb on the passenger side multiples times just this year. We replaced the entire brake socket when we first purchase the car and i believe now that there's a manufacturer defect and i shouldn't have to replace the brake light and socket and pay labor cost to have this replaced again. |
