First Problem (brake light cover)

zivilyn861 · 10-20-2009, 07:32 AM

Add mine to the list. I got home from work yesterday, went to pull something out of my trunk, and I only had half of the red plastic part still on my car. I have an appointment with the dealership on Thursday night... anyone know how long this generally takes to fix? I'm hoping I can just stick around while they repair it.

Add me to the list. Cracked right in half on its own.
SIB performed at dealership.

Another one. First problem I've had with the car in two years, so I guess I can't complain too loudly. Mine was cracked for several months, but today it just disappeared.

Hopefully, I can swing by the dealer, they will have the part and time to fix it, and after a cup of coffee and a quick browse of the current inventory it will be fixed. Wishful thinking?

im bout to get my 2nd 3rd brake light next week bc of the cracks. It seems as its bout to fall off.

Well you can add me to this list. I figured it would happen eventually, but not within the first 7 months. Sad thing is, my car was in for service exactly 1 week ago for something else.

My 3rd brake light split in two right in the center after about a year. Dealer replaced it free of charge, took about 2 days to get an appointment. Thankfully it didn't rain for a couple days else water would've got inside the trunk assembly.
