Consumer Description

I OWN A 2012 FORD FUSION SE 6 CYLINDER THIS VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. MY PASSENGER SIDE RTAIL LIGHT CONTINUES TO BLOW AND THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST WEEK WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I HAVE BEEN REPLACING THIS TAIL LIGHT EVERY SIX MONTHS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS AND IT HAS CAUSED MELTING AROUND THE LIGHT SOCKET AND THE BULB IS CLEARLY BURNT. AFTER GOOGLING THIS ISSUE I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2012 FORD FUSION AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY OR I AM GOING TO THE PUBLIC. THIS CAN KILL SOMEONE AND START A FIRE ESPECIALLY IF THE BLAZE GETS OUT OF HAND AND CHILDREN ARE IN THE BACKSEAT STRAPPED IN. PLEASE EMAIL ME [XXX] REGARDING IF YOU ARE HAVING A SIMILAR CONCERN SO I CAN COMPILE THIS AND GO PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND NOT DONE ANYTHING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND FORD AND THE NTHSA NEED TO STEP IT UP AND SAVE LIVES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
