Default '13 foglight issues

Saturday afternoon i noticed that my passenger side fog light was out. Thought that was odd, car is a month old. Planned on giving the dealer a call today at work, however on my way in, flipped em on when i was behind a car and they both fired up... ok.

Anyone have any similar issues with their fogs? Should i still call the dealer, or wait and see if its a reoccurring problem. I was thinking of taking it in, but thats just a giant waste of time and would like to avoid that if possible.

I've never noticed an issue with mine. I would still call the dealer and let them know. That way they know you had an issue with a car, and if it happens again, it should be easier to get it in and fixed quickly.

Well, took it to the dealer and they ended up having to order an entire fog light assembly. Good thing its under warranty because after parts and labor its probably going to end up being close to $1000. They tested the wiring all the way to the light and lost power in the assembly somewhere, and its not a part they stock since they dont have to replace these very often. I've only come across one other guy with this issue, and he had the same result at the dealer. Hopefully its something they will look into with the high cost of repair.

Yeah no issues with mine, good to know it's covered would suck to have to pay 1,000 for a dang light.
