Consumer Description

PURCHASED USED IN JANUARY OF 2014. NOTICED RED PLASTIC HOUSING FOR BRAKE LIGHTS MELTING ABOVE ACTUAL LIGHTBULB. BRAKE LIGHTS NOW SHINE CLEAR/WHITE ON TOP (WHERE MELTED), INSTEAD OF JUST RED. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. CHECKED OTHER MAZDA CX-7'S AND CAN SEE THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I REPLACED LIGHTBULBS TO MAKE SURE THEY MATCH MANUFACTURES REQUIREMENTS, THEY WERE CORRECT AND HAD MELTED PLASTIC ALL OVER THE BULB. TOOK TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID IT'S PROBABLY A WIRING ISSUE. TOOK IT TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. I ASKED THEM TO CONTACT MAZDA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES WITH UNMELTED UNITS, THEY CLAIMED THEY WERE TOLD THAT MAZDA WOULD NOT REPLACE. *TR
