Exterior Lighting
Rear 'racetrack' lighting and license plate lighting shorts out and does not function. This is caused by water leaking into and being retained in the assembly. This issue is thoroughly documented in a variety of online forums. When the lights are inoperative, the rear of the vehicle is very dark and posses a safety issue by increasing the chances of a rear end collision.
