I own a 2012 ford fusion se 6 cylinder this vehicle has a major safety hazard. My passenger side rtail light continues to blow and the most recent incident occurred last week when I noticed a burning smell. I have been replacing this tail light every six months for the past two years and it has caused melting around the light socket and the bulb is clearly burnt.
