I HAVE HAD BOTH MY BACK LIGHT HARNESSES WHERE A BULB HAS BLOWN AND IT WAS SO HOT IT MELTED THE BULB ENDS INTO THE SOCKET AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HARNESS FOR BOTH SIDES. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME AND I KNOW THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUES, BUT YET THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANY RECALLS. WHY PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU *TR

HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. DRIVING ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN ENGINE STOPS, ALL PANEL LIGHTS COME ON, AND ACCELERATOR IS UNRESPONSIVE. PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND RESTART ENGINE WITH NO PROBLEMS FOR REMAINDER OF TRIP. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, I HAD JUST PASSED A VEHICLE AND WAS BACK IN LANE WHEN IT OCCURRED. IN SECOND INSTANCE I HAD JUST BRAKED FOR A VEHICLE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, AND UPON ACCELERATING TO SPEED, THE VEHICLE ENGINE STOPPED.

THE TAIL LIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO GO BAD. I REPLACE BULBS ALMOST 2 A MONTH. I RECENTLY JUST GOT STOPPED SATURDAY MAY 30 2020 FOR A NON FUNCTIONING TAIL LIGHT. I REPLACED IT 10 MIN LATER AND TODAY JUNE 1 2020 IT WENT OUT AGAIN. THERE'S OBVIOUS SIGN OF WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING BUT I'VE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON BULBS ITS RIDICULOUS. *TR
