Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MILES AT NIGHT, I GET A BURNING SMELL IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE STOP ME TO TELL ME THAT MY REAR TAIL LIGHTS ARE OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONLY TWICE BUT I RARELY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THE LAST TIME AND SOME PEOPLE FOLLOWED ME TO TELL ME THAT THEY COULD BARELY SEE ME. I HAVE A BLACK CAR AND LICENSE PLATE. THE CAR IS OUR OF WARRANTY AND I DON'T KNOW IF MY EXTENDED WARRANT WILL COVE IT. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT NOW. *TR
