Defective taillight assembly. They are both "melting" from the inside and have reported to the dealer and warranty carriers to no avail. They responded that I must have changed the bulbs for aftermarket ones and that could have possibly overheated and melted the assembly. I have not changed the bulbs until today (I bought the car new from the dealer). 8 out of 10 Cx-7's I see have the same issue, both tail lights melting. Looks like snow inside the assembly. This is a huge safety concern that could lead to potential accidents. Dealer does not want to take responsibility but I feel they should be replaced at no cost.
The head lights and tail lights have been replaced over three times in least than two years. The condensation on the covers makes it difficult seeing where one is driving. This I believe is a safety issue. This condensation has also caused my radio to lose its sound. The battery will not start if it rains or its cold.
1. Warning illuminator light on indicating driver/passenger airbags may require repair and/or immediate attention. 2. Rear tail light: bulb has become so hot the bulb is literally burning through the red casing of the break light - condensation or wiring is causing the bulb to overheat.
The headlight lenses on both sides are faded and dull; visibility is limited the tail light lenses on both sides are faded and dull.
