On 09/15/16 we purchased a 2017 Ford exploreer limited from supreme Ford of slidell, la. Two weeks after having the SUV, we noticed the right tail light was not working at times. On 11/16/2016, we drove the vehicle back to the dealership to repair the light. When the sales manager drove the SUV to the service department the rear right taillight was working. . But when the service manager looked at the SUV, the light was working. But when we started back to denham springs, la, the right taillight started acting up again. I took several videos of the light randomally going off and on on the trip back home with my iphone. I attached video of the light, I edited it to a smaller size and emailed back to the dealership. On 11/17/16 we received a reply from the service manager stateing; thank you for taking the time to video and send it to us regarding the taillamp concern you are having with your 2017 Explorer, the next time the concern display itself consistantly, a rental at our expence for a day to see if we can isolate the cause. Kenny mcdow service manager supreme Ford slidell 985-690-1605 fax: 985-690-847-0431 kmcdow@supremeauto. Net I replied to the dealership; mr. Mcdow, the new 2017 Ford Explorer limited still has a problem with the right tail light intermittently working about %50 of the time. I do not think there will be a time when the tail light will "consittantly" go out. . . This problem needs to be repaired ASAP before someone is killed in an automobile accident. . . The video clip I sent you is just a sampling of the tail light intermittently going out during our drive home to denham springs. . . I am concerned with driving the "lemon vehicle" and beleive that Ford needs to replace the "lemon vehicle" with a proper working new 2017 Ford Explorer limited, with a adaptive cruise control as the salesperson stated the vehicle had.
