Consumer Description

TWICE IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A SHORT IN THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY RESULTING IN MY BATTERY GETTING DRAINED. I COULD NOT GET TO MY TOOLS IN THE TRUNK BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO OPEN THE TRUNK AND I COULD NOT OPEN IT MANUALLY. THE SHORT HAS BEEN DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL WIRE BEING PINCHED BETWEEN A WASHER AND THE FRAME WHEN THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AFTER A BULB WAS REPLACED. IT CAUSED MY CAR TO DIE WHILE RUNNING.
