Driver side tail light bulb keeps going out. The socket appears to be melted/charred. I have had the bulb replaced three times in less than a year. Every time the bulb goes out, my brake light is affected and i get pulled over and issued a fix-it ticket by the police.

My blinker light started blinking really fast and i knew that that indictated that i had a bulb out. I saw that it was the rear left and purchased a new bulb for it. I searched online for how to change the bulb properly and found several videos for how to do it but they all showed that the bulb socket had overheated and was burnt. Sure enough, when i opened up mine to change the bulb, the socket that holds the bulb…

I was driving and noticed my right blinker flashing quickly so i got a new rear right turn signal bulb. When replacing the bulb i noticed that the bulb was melted into the socket. I checked the other side and it was charred and melted even worse then the bulb that wasn't working. This is very scary and a safety hazard as it could start a fire and my child is in the back seat!

Dome lights by rear view mirror do not go off. Since this is a problem with many ford vehicles; i feel it should be a recall. I got a notice months ago about a recall about the takata air bags on my ford edge, also. Still awaiting the repair. The recall said to wait for them to call.

When operating the turn signals in either direction the rear light would not work intermittently at first, and then permanently. Upon pulling the rear bulb housing, i noticed the turn signal light socket was burnt in appearance. Opon trying to remove the bulbs, one of the retaining tabs on one side broke off. Inside the sockets (both sides) were full of whitish corrosion. The main issue here is twofold: if you look…

(no ticket issued) when i got to work i changed the bulb and discovered that the bulb was not burnt out but had melted the socket on the right side of the car. Upon further investigation i realized that both tail lights had the same problem and the bulbs had also been melting the interior red part of the tail light. There is now an area of the lights on both sides…

The interior lights will not turn off. The door ajar indicator remains on even though the doors have been firmly closed causing the interior lights to remain on. At first i was able to slam the door shut until it would trigger the lights to turn off. Then, i had to use wd-40 and after 3 days of doing this every time i entered or exited the vehicle, the interior lights would remain on. Most recently, my car battery…

Drove to panama city, fl. For vacation and parked in apt. Garage. Went to my brothers apt. And within an hour, the parking attendant knocked on the door and said that our car had the fog lamps on. Tried to turn them off and couldn't. Had to remove the fuse. Had it checked out and nothing could be found to cause this problem. Fuse is still removed and cannot use the fog lights. Since this incident, the turn signals…

Driver side rear blinker has been replaced every 4-6 months. Socket is completely melted. Bulbs are melted. Black is all around socket. This is unacceptable and i will not pay the dealership an arm and leg just to keep me safe (car fire). One person said they were charged 98 dollars. That's absurd. There should be a recall and this should be replaced with no expense to the customer. *tr

The issue only seems to be with the rear turn signals. I haven't had to replace any other exterior lights since i purchased the car in apr 2011. *js

One of the rear blinkers went bad twice since i had the car and when i went to replace it the socket that the bulb goes into was black and melted. The first time the blinker went out the car was under warranty so the dealer replaced the bulb. I feel that this issue need to be addressed soon because other than being annoying having to replace the bulb it seems like a fire hazard. *tr
