Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2008 Audi TT would constantly beep with right rear light or left rear light with an x through a light bulb symbol popping up on the screen in between the tachometer and the speedometer. If I applied the brakes, the x through a light bulb symbol would go away. It turns out that the light that is farthest outboard in the tail light housing (on both left and right sides) was the problem. I found that the problem was with corrosion within the connectors that go directly to the tail light housing. …”
