    2007 ford edge, both rear turn signal lights shorted out within a few weeks of each other. In both cases, the base of bulb that plugs into socket has a burned black appearance leading me to believe this could be a fire safety hazard in this model. I have replaced both bulbs and my husband is reporting to our local dealer.

    Rear tail light bulbs require frequent replacing. Bulbs and sockets are discolored and show minor menting of plastic socket material. The correct 4157k bulbs are being used as per the owner's manual. This vehicle was purchased by us new. *tr

    The rear tail light socket on the passenger side is extremely charred. The light bulb on that side has failed 5 times over 7 years, clearly from overheating, causing loss of brake light and turn light. The other side has never failed but shows early signs of overheating.

    The rear turn signal bulbs are burning out on a regular basis of approx every 4-5 month. The bulbs and assembly both show signs of blackening and melting. 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 may 2009. *tr

    Tail light blinkers are melting into the sockets. I have to replace the bulbs once a year because they blow, i was also told by a mechanic that the reason my speaker blew on the right side of the car was do to extra electrical power. *tr

    We own a 2007 edge sel and the driver's side brake light constantly burns out. The bulb has been replaced countless times and the socket is melted. I just wanted to share this with everyone. A clicking noise has also developed on the driver's side front wheel recently, however we haven't seen anything related to other complaints about this. The vehicle currently has very low miles (24,000) and this seems odd. I hope…
