Agree 100% with complaint 10422899 and others. Replaced both rear brake light assembly's 3 times already. Plastic around contactor melts, metal no longer connects with bulb contact properly. Issue is causing all kinds of safety, financial, legal (traffic violations, points on drivers license) problems. Including no brake lights, no working directionals. Extremely dangerous. Costly.

The rear brake light on the driver's side does not work properly. When the headlights are turned on, the brake light goes out when brake is depressed. The bulb, the light socket, and the entire light assembly have been replaced. Replacing the entire light assembly is only a temporary fix, the brake light will again need to be repaired. This is not the first time for the brake light to malfunction. *tr

Numerous repairs were made by auto mechanics, however, they wouldn't last. Had both tail/brake light assemblies replaced at my cost of $243.96 just for the parts. The dealer where the parts were purchased said that they were not even making those parts…
