I just noticed that there is moisture in my rear left tail light. (reverse light to be exact) I assume this is covered under warranty. I will be bringing it in tonight. Has anybody else had this problem yet?

Thanks

ive read several times on this forum that people had this problem. definately something thats covered by warranty though.
 






YUP. I posted about this here before. I took it back to the dealer three times for them change it three times before before I was satisfied. A week ago, I noticed moisture again on my 4th set of taillights but who has time to keep going back to the dealer :thumbdwn:

I give up. I'll just wait before the warranty runs out and have them change it again if it doesn't go dead by then. Moisture close to bulbs and electrical parts couldn't be good.
 






Couldnt something like that be considered as lemon law or does that only apply to mechanical parts only?
 






I have the same problem...moister in the right reverse light lens.
 






its reverse fluid duhhh...kidding.

Why not bring it in and then remove the housing and seal it with some clear silicone yourself? Might as well do it while it's still covered, no sense in paying for something that can be prevented.
 






ive seen this sort of problem in alot of lights, its like that in the headlights on my old ex, never had a problem. on the other hand, a friend had a grand cherokee that had a couple inches of water in it and kept exploding bulbs. IMHO it is nothing to worry about unless there is alot of water in there
