I purchased these,
Got these taillights and about a month later I got the 4 check lights of death. So I ran down to the local dealership and told them to just check the code. They said its brake sensor related and the LED's most likely are sending spikes of voltage and tripping up the ABS. They didnt charge me and i figured well if that's all I'd just drive around with the lights coming on occasionally. I definitely noticed an on/off pattern of the check lights related to my stops and starts on the street. I thought maybe it would go away or at least this would be the only problem
Shortly at around 2 months, I noticed when I got in my truck, started it, I could not get it out of park. I figure maybe its not fully engaged so I violently rock back and forth to move the truck around. I also would slam the brake pedal and rotate the steering wheel. Still I thought aww, I'll ride it out because it's not that consistent or annoying YET. Last week was the worst, locked up in park every time I turned on the car. Yesterday the passenger airbag light came on. AND then today somebody in a drive through gave me a heads up that my brake lights don't work.
As soon as it stops raining, I'm yanking these things out and smashing them with a hammer.
Has anybody had problems similar, sadly I'm drawn to chalk it up as an isolated bad batch and me and my bad luck, as I have searched the forums for similar stories and found nothing?
