Description of the problem | Over the life of owing this new car, from march 2016 to july 2019, the rear passenger and driver side tail light assembly have each failed once and were replaced by my own expense. Again for a third time total, this month the passenger side taillight assembly repeated its failure to have the break light to function. I feel this amount of part failure inside 3 years is too extreme and is due to poor design by the manufacturer. These failed parts happened at 16,000, 30,000 and 50,000 miles of vehicle use. None of the taillight parts were ever physically damaged before. The cost of the part alone is $795. 00. That is even more rediculous considering a home led bulb lasts longer and costs much less. |
