Consumer Description

My backup lights kept burning out and are no longer functional. My directional and taillights have both burned out excessively. Last time I changed my left tail light I noticed the socket the bulb goes into looked a bit charred. My right directional recently burned out and this time the bulb is melted into the socket. I have an appt to have a mechanic change ALL REAR SOCKETS. Upon discovering the melted socket I checked on line and apparently this is a BIG PROBLEM for FORD EDGE. This should be recalled as it is a serious problem.
