NHTSA Complaint #10820595 — 2007 FORD EDGE

I WAS TRAVELLING WITH MY WIFE BEHIND ME AS AND SHE TEXT MY DAUGHTER THAT MY PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. HOWEVER, WHEN I GOT HOME TO CHANGE THE BULB FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME ON EACH SIDE, BECAUSE I CHANGE BOTH AND NOT JUST ONE, I WENT TO PULL THE BULB OUT OF THE SOCKET AND IT WAS MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. THE BULB WAS HALF BLACKENED AND CHARRED ALL AROUND IT. I HAD TO PULL THE ENTIRE PLUGIN AND THEN WENT TO THE OTHER TAIL LIGHT TO DO THE SAME AND IT WAS ALSO CHARRED BLACK, BUT NOT YET MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. I HAVE FOUND OUT AFTER TONS OF RESEARCH THAT THIS IS NOT JUST ONE INSTANCE. THE BULB SHOULD HAVE BLOWN OR A FUSE SHOULD HAVE POPPED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD START A FIRE. THIS NEEDS ATTENTION TIME NOW! THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT HELP!
