Complaint Summary

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Owner Narrative

The left rear blinker light has gone out 4 times in the last 2 years. The most recent replacement for the passenger rear blinker stopped working within 12 hours of replacement. No other lights have needed replacing until the last replacment blinker light had gone out and i became aware that both passenger running tail lights were out, my license plate light on the passenger side is out the white bottom light that's blinks when I lock the car with the key remote is out as well. When looking into what would cause this to happen I came a cross information that is an on going issue that keeps occurring in the same cars with the same make model and year that a recall should or is expected to be done. I have not paid for bulbs to be replaced it's a task car owners can perform now that all lights are not working i will be taking it in to get my vehicle working so it can be driven safely.
