04

about 42k miles

Runs great, the only problem I have is the heater control ****. But it still works with some coaxing. I don't need the heater for more than a week per year in Houston, so no biggie.

True, but if you're within warranty you get new ones for free? Mine as well I'd think, they'll eventually get them right :P

I wouldn't do that, the tails are supposed to be sealed. The fix for us poor souls out of warranty is to remove the tail, get a new thicker gasket (as per TSB), air out the tail to get rid of the moisture (using cold/warm air hairdryer or vacuum), then reinstall. Moisture enters through gasket that doesn't seal well enough (due to dirt getting in there and what not). New gasket is thicker to prevent this from happening.

But if you're under warranty, hello new taillights.
