Consumer Description

THE INFORMATION I HAVE PROVIDED IS IN REGARD TO THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT OF MY VEHICLE. I DRIVE MOSTLY AT NIGHT AND IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THE DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. I HAVE DRIVEN HOME FROM WORK ON A FEW OCCASSIONS WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON THE WHOLE WAY. THE LIGHT GETS VERY HOT AND IT MAKES SEEING OUT OF THE REARVIEW MIRROR DIFFICULT AT BEST. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR WORSE, A VEHICLE FIRE WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT OFTEN ENOUGH TO CAUSE CONCERN. THANK YOU.*AK
