Consumer Description

2003 FORD FOCUS SE 4 DOOR SEDAN -- RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL SOCKET HAS MELTED TO TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WHERE IT CANNOT BE REMOVED. BOTH TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND SOCKET HAVE TO BE REPLACED. LEFT REAR APPEARS TO BE DAMAGED ALSO, BUT BULB IS NOT OUT YET. IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD? IT DOES CREATE A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT'S TAKEN MY GARAGE AND THE FORD DEALER 3 WEEKS TO FIND THE CORRECT SOCKET TO FIT THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. *TR
