Failure Date: 07/25/2003

High brake light lens on 1997 Mercury Sable station wagon came off. While on my way to get it replaced at a dealer, I noticed another 1997 Mercury Sable station wagon with the same lens missing! prior compliant filed here claims that replacement of this lens will cost me $150. 00! why should the consumer have to pay for this? it is obviously a factory defect. I am glad that it is not life threatening, but still. . . . . . R. P.
