Consumer Description

PASSENGER SIDE OUTSIDE LED TAILLIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT IS NOW FLASHING, AS IF A RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WERE ACTIVATED, BUT WHEN NO TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO A PRIOR REPORTED DEFECT WHERE THE SAME PASSENGER SIDE LED TAILLIGHT DISPLAYS A LIGHT CONDITION AS IF BRAKING, WHEN CAR IS NOT ACTUALLY BRAKING. THIS SAFETY DEFECT IS ALSO OBSERVED ON SOME 2008-2010 MKZ AND MERCURY MILAN VEHICLES IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS. THE LED LIGHTS ARE NOT OWNER REPLACEABLE; INSTEAD THE ENTIRE TAILLIGHT MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST TO THE OWNER OF OVER $500. THIS CONFUSES OTHER DRIVERS AND THEN CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
