Water is getting into the rear door of Outback Subaru wagon causing the corroding of rear light harnesses. Taillight failed to operate and had assembly had to be replaced. Dealer can't determine how/why water is getting into the rear door. After heavy rain, the water can be heard moving around in the door. Water drains out when the door is opened.
My complaint is my headlights� they're cloudy. On Nov. 29, 2018 the institute of highway safety released a report that said that �most base model cars have poor-quality headlights. My complaint is the car manufacturers created this problem when they decided decades ago that plastic was a better shield over the headlights than glass. My suggestion is to make the car manufacturers go back to installing glass over their headlights or u. S. Drivers are always going to have cloudy headlights. Even when we buff them out and make them shine again, it only last 6 or 7 years. This is ridiculous and the national highway traffic safety administration should change this flaw in auto manufacturing by making it a law to use glass when they build their headlights in the future.
