What owners report

2024-02-14, Exterior Lighting
The tail light on my car leaks and condensates - this is a problem with ALL Aston Martin Vantages and DB9's made from 2005 through 2017. The problem is that Aston Martin never had a fix and instead sells defective lights as a replacement when they fail from the condensation only to be assured they will eventually fail again.
