Consumer Description

I NOTICED AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE INSIDE INDICATOR WAS BLINKING FAST, TELLING ME I HAD AN ISSUE. ONCE HOME, I CHECKED MY TURN SIGNALS, DRIVER SIDE WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. HAD MY SON CHANGE THE BULB AND FOUND THE PLASTIC AT THE BASE OF THE BULB WAS SEVERELY MELTED. THE SOCKET WAS DARKENED BUT STILL IN WORKING ORDER, REPLACED THE BULB AND IS WORKING FOR NOW. WENT TO FORD DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER EDGE'S. (WHAT EVER !) I WANTED THEM TO LOOK AND THE SOCKET AND HARNESS BUT THEY WANTED $98.00 JUST TO "CHECK IT OUT". AND OF COURSE, I'M OUT OF THE 30 MONTH / 36K WARRANTY. GOOD THING I CARRY FULL COVERAGE, BECAUSE IF THE CAR BURNS TO THE GROUND, YOU CAN BET I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER FORD. *TR
