Consumer Description

DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK ON A REGULAR BASIS AND IT SEEMS EVERY TWO MONTHS THE TAIL LIGHT BULBS NEED REPLACING. I KEEP REPLACING THEM BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE ONE MINUTE THEY WORK. DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND IT IS NOT WORKING. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? THERE SHOULD BE. *JB
