I OWN A 2007 FORD EDGE. RECENTLY I REPLACED 3 PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS IN A MATTER OF WEEKS. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO STOP BUYING CHEAP BULBS.

AND I'VE NOTICED A MUNBER OF FORD EDGE'S ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT / TURN SIGNAL NOT OPERATING. THE LAST BULB I PUT INTO MY VEHICLE BURNED OUT SO BADLY THAT THE PLASTIC BASE OF …

BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS ARE BURNT AND MELTED. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED IN COMPLAINT NUMBERS 10439124, 10380902, 10372008, AND 10307462 AS WELL . A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL REVEAL NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVE AND ARE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT ISSUE. THE SOCKET THAT PLUGS INTO THE BRAKE LIGHT PIGTAIL (ON BOTH SIDES) IS BURNT AND ACTUALLY MELTED. THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS BEEN HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING ITSELF. AND THIS IS HAPPENING WITHOUT CAUSING A FUSE TO BLOW OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. …
