“Have been having problems with rear tail light (stop lights). When I replace the burned out bulb, it burns out within two weeks or less. Have had to replace the board that holds the bulbs which cost about $40.00 each. Have replaced four times since 2010. There appears to be an electrical problem causing the board to burn out.”
