Consumer Description

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW HAS A LITTLE OVER 10,000 MILES ON IT NOW, STARTED NOTICING STANDING WATER IN THE RACETRACK (BACK GATE) LED LIGHTS TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHY WATER WAS GETTING IN THEY INFORMED ME THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD A CRACK WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A SEAM (WHERE THE 2 PARTS MET) IT IS A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN, VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT OR DAMAGED, SO THE BRAKE LIGHT CRACKED IN ITS OWN. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN BE SAFE SINCE WATER IS GETTING INTO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL AND CAUSING LED BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL OR BURN OUT.
