Consumer Description

I AM AN AUTO TECH AT DEALERSHIP IN KS. AFTER 3 REPEATED INCIDENTS, I DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION. ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FRONT BUMPER THE FOG LIGHTS GET HOT AND EVENTUALLY DETACH FROM THE LENS. THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME I HAVE NOTICED SCORCHING ON THE VEHICLE'S FRONT BUMPER WHERE THE BULBS STARTED TO MELT THE MATERIAL. THE 4TH VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE TO THE BUMPER AND IT SPREAD TO THE ENGINE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE WITHOUT ANYBODY ATTENDING THE VEHICLE AND MORE IN A HOUSE GARAGE. IT DID NOT TAKE VERY LONG TO MELT AND IGNITE. *TR
