1 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2020

Rear brake light seals failing allowing water into left and right brake light housings. When I asked dealer about replacement they said that they are not covered under safety warranty.

2 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

Rear brake lights (left & right) show heavy condensation that could potentially result in lights wearing out early or cloud vision of motorists driving behind me. There is probably a potential seal issue or leakage in the light assembly that leads to this. Showed it to dealer and got a quote of ~$900 to repair/replace. Also, the liftgate seal might be broken or leaking as notice dampness or small water accumulation in trunk after rain.
