Consumer Description

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING IN MY 2007 MAZDA 3 HATCHBACK IS MELTING. IT IS THE TOP RED LIGHT ON BOTH SIDES. THESE ARE STOCK BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE FOR FREE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY ISSUE FROM MAZDA. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE MANY MAZDA 3 OWNERS WHO ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE AND HAVE RUN INTO THE SAME ROAD BLOCKS ON GETTING IT FIXED BY MAZDA.
