“I recently replaced my brake and turn signal light bulb constantly and notice the socket is burnt . So I took it to the dealership I had it replaced. A year later the same instance happen again so I took it to the dealership I had to replace again. I'm noticing a pattern that socket for the turn signal and brake light are burning out”
NHTSA complaint #11297123, filed 2020-01, 172,000 miles“The rear drivers side brake/blinker light socket is burned black where the light bulb connects to the socket. I've seen other complaints about this on line. This is actually the 2nd time I've had to replace the bulb, but I did not record the mileage (estimate about 40,000 miles) the first time. When I replaced it the first time, I noticed the socket was burned then too.”
NHTSA complaint #10508467, filed 2013-04, 55,139 miles“Replaced the tail light bulb for the first time by myself not at dealer and the housing that holds tail light is burnt. I am concerned that this could create electrical fire I my vehicle bulb 13466. Socket housing 13411.”
NHTSA complaint #10619023, filed 2014-08, 11,999 miles“Stop/brake/signal light burned out 1st time just replaced it! Burned out 2nd time a year or so later, noticed the receptacle looked black!! Burned out 3rd time a day or so later, noted the receptacle looks really black,I got online and found out this is a common problem with this model car !!!....dealer knows of no recall but I can assure not having a left turn signal in the rear is a real safety hazard !!!! The bulb socket looks as if has almost melted and I think it poses a real danger .”
NHTSA complaint #10639884, filed 2014-09, 38,000 miles“My rear turn signals have been working intermittently lately and I thought it might be the bulb. When I went to replace the bulb I noticed that the bulb socket appears to be burnt. I immediately went online to see what needs to be done and realized that there are a bunch of other Ford edges out there with the same problem. I felt it was necessary to report it in case this is a safety issue that could result in a fire. The Ford dealership claims that they do not know of any other complaints, yet when I look online, I see a whole lot with the same issue.”
