Consumer Description

2001 - DODGE CARAVAN - LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT FELL OUT, HANGING ON BY WIRES. TOOK TO PRIVATE MECHANIC, SAID DEALER HAD TO FIX. TOOK TO DEALER, STATED COULD NOT REINSTALL, NEEDED WHOLE NEW UNIT FOR DRY ROTTED RUBBER GASKET. TOOK VEHICLE TO HOME DEPOT, BOUGHT 1 TUBE OF BLACK EXTERIOR SILICONE CAULK. DROVE VEHICLE HOME, AND CLEANED AREA AROUND REAR TAIL LIGHT. PUSHED LIGHT BACK INTO PLACE AND CAULKED AROUND DRY ROTTED RUBBER. TAPED TAIL LIGHT TO BODY ASSEMBLY (BE CAREFUL TO USE TAPE WHICH WILL NOT DAMAGE VEHICLE). LEFT VEHICLE TO SIT STILL FOR 24 HOURS AS CAULK DRIED. MADE THIS SIMPLE REPAIR MYSELF FOR $2.86 WHEN THE DEALER WANTED OVER $500 TO REPAIR. WHAT A RIP OFF WHEN THEY CAN'T EVEN MAKE A VEHICLE THAT LASTS, THEY HAVE TO PRICE GOUGE THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR
