| Description of the problem | I have received multiple warning signals indicating that my tail lights and turning lights have failed. I initially thought my bulbs were blown but i thought it was strange that all of them would blow at one time. Upon checking the panel in the trunk i noticed that the wires looked like they were burning. I brought it into the dealer and the said they have noticed the issue but do not know the cause. I asked if this was recalled and they stated no, and that i would be responsible for the repairs. After doing further research i noticed others have had similar issues. I do not think that it is fair that the consumer should have to incur the cost associated with subpar manufacturing. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. |
