Consumer Description

THE FRONT DRIVER TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK, IT HAS MELTED THE PLASTIC INSIDE. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULB SEVERAL TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO BURN OUT. THE PASSENGER TURN SIGNAL IS NOW BLINKING VERY FAST AND THEN SLOW SO I'M GUESSING IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THAT ONE DOESN'T WORK. ALSO THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR BLINKER AND BRAKE LIGHT DO NOT WORK. ALL OF THIS IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AND COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. CLEARLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE AND RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. *TR
