Consumer Description

REPLACED PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT DUE TO LED FAILURE IN 2017. DRIVER'S SIDE FAILED THIS WEEK. FULL REPLACEMENT OF HOUSING IS REQUIRED, AND NOTHING THAT I CAN FIND STATES ANY DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DATE. THIS MEANS FURTHER REPLACEMENTS OF THE ENTIRE LIGHT (PART ALONE IS QUOTED AT AROUND $700) WILL BE NECESSARY THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARS FROM A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH THAT THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES EFFECTED, YET THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOT A DESIGN ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. GIVEN THIS FAILURE MAKES THE TAIL LIGHT INOPERABLE AS WELL AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
