Consumer Description

A WEEK AGO I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD JUST HAD A BELT REPLACED AND THOUGHT FLUID LEAKED AND WAS BURNING OFF, CHECKED UNDER MY HOOD AND COULDN'T SMELL ANYTHING. A FEW DAYS LATER MY BOSS TOLD ME MY TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT. I HAD JUST CHANGED IT A MONTH OR SO AGO, BUT WHEN I LOOKED AT MY LIGHT, THE BULB WAS BLACK, THE BASE YOU PLUG IT INTO IS BURNT AND THE PLASTIC ON THE ASSEMBLY IS MELTING. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL YET? I SEE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ON HERE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.
