What owners report

2025-06-26, Exterior Lighting
Rear light malfunction alert. Intermittent. Seems to happen when humidity is high.
2024-12-24, Exterior Lighting
A medium rain caused water to enter the rear taillights and short out, causing malfunctions for both sides. The forums and Facebooks are littered with these post. It’s not off but when. It’s a poor design and safety hazard that is costing to repair.
