Description of the problem	I received a warning that my left tail light was out. The light was not out and when the car was restarted the message no longer appeared. I went to the dealership and asked service to check the taillight. The service manager showed me the light panel which had melted plastic and burn marks on it near the grounding wire. He told me i needed to have it replaced as well as the circuit board. I told him i thought it was ridiculous to have electrical problems with a car with 85k miles. I just replaced an electrical panel in the front 2 months ago for $700. I asked if they had problems with the c and he said no but he had seen a few issues with the grounding wire. I just looked into it to discover it is under nhtsa investigation. Please advise.
