Explorer 4WD 6-cyl

  • 46,000 miles
My name is [xxx] and I live in lorain Ohio. I am the owner of a 2014 Ford Explorer (limited). Recently, my driver side brake light failed and after much research on my part I came to the realization that the brake lights are led. I went to my dealer and was told it was not covered, even though I purchased the premium maintenance package for my vehicle. I looked in the vehicle manual and it stated the brake lights are led and expected to last for the lifetime of the vehicle. My Explorer is just over 2 years old and has 45K miles. I explained to the dealer that I didn't feel as though I should be responsible since this is expected to last and failed so early. I also noted as did the dealer that there is moisture and something black in the light inside. This probably attributed to the light failing.
