EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
HIGH MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT IS AN LED DISPLAY AND COSTS $200.00. THAT IS REDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE FOR A SAFETY ITEM THAT SHOULD EITHER LAST LONGER OR BE CHEAPER. CAR WAS A DEMONSTRATION VEHICLE, AND I WAS NOT INFORMED DATE PUT IN SERVICE WHEN I BOUGHT IT - IT WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THIS LED BURNED OUT. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER WANTS 1 HOUR ($85) TO DIAGNOSE THIS BURNED OUT LIGHT! CHRYSLER OUGHT TO BE HUNG FOR TURNING A $2 LIGHT BULB INTO A $200 PART. CAN YOU HELP?
