Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	All right rear lights failed. Starting to get messages of rear left lights failing, but non have actually failed yet. I took off the back panel in the trunk to change the bulbs and found the wiring has melted through the plastic housing unit, it looks like the wires and the unit have been burned. After taking the car to the dealer, he said it was starting to happen to the left side of the car too. This is costing me $500 for the entire replacement! I've read so many complaints about this same issue. I'm amazed that there hasn't been a recall issued yet. Burning up wires in the trunk has to be a safety hazard!
