We have maintained this vehicle from its start. It has been developing a burn out on both rear turn signals in the last two years. The bulbs seem to require replacement more than once every six months. The bulbs seem to be overheating and actually melting the plastic between the bulb glass and the insert itself. Viewing this on…

We have maintained this vehicle from its start. It has been developing a burn out on both rear turn signals in the last two years. The bulbs seem to require replacement more than once every six months. The bulbs seem to be overheating and actually melting the plastic between the bulb glass and the insert itself. Viewing this online it seems to be a problem that goes back for years and yet Ford maintains it is not their problem. I feel it's dangerous and could cause a fire if this continues and seems to affect a majority of customers.

Manufacturer Recall 19S01, NHTSA Recall 19V001. I have contacted Bob Tomes Ford multiple times (John Grinn, Mobile service) leaving messages and my phone number. No call back. Today a scheduling representative was able to speak to someone at this dealership and was told they do not offer mobile repairs. I have received multiple notices from this dealership advertising "repairs at your home or work"!! I can't even get a return phone call but receive multiple mail notifications, man showing up at my home multiple times, same man following me down my alley, and just this weekend, someone scanning my license and leaving a notice. If I can't schedule the repair, how am I supposed to get this problem resolved that is a possible danger to my life?!?! No one will return my calls!

When is a remedy going to be available? I have been aggressively pursued for the other recall but unable to get any representative from a Ford dealership to return my calls when leaving messages for mobile repair. First was Bob Tomes Ford, McKinney, TX. I received flier that said they will do repairs at home or work. A scheduling rep finally got in touch with someone and they do not perform remote repairs!!! I'm attempting a third dealership today. Another message left, doubt I will get a call back.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the driver-side rear tail light bulb would frequently burn out after replacement.

The contact was also informed that the same failure had occurred in the passenger side tail light; however, the bulb had yet to burn out. The contact had a preliminary diagnosis performed by an independent mechanic who stated that the bulb receptacles would need replacement. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
