I own a $32,000 Honda S2000. After only 3 years, my tail lamps are so faded that they appear almost white. When I apply the brakes, it looks like I'm in reverse! this is a huge safety issue in my eyes and in the eyes of the cop that gave me a ticket for it. I went to the local Honda dealer to get this fixed, and they will not fix it. I have an extended warranty, but they said that is not covered under the warranty. I told them it's a safety issue, they said they didn't care, word for word! "that is not our problem", is exactly what they said. This is surely my last Honda! I'll spend my $32,000 or more somewhere else. Honda's loss.
