Inadequte strain relief on cable leading from chassis to trunk lid allowed/caused excessive strain on wires leading to multiple insulation failures. Furthermore, some strands of at least one wire broke, protruded, and possibly shorted to another wire causing the fuse for that circuit to blow. This caused the tail lights, license plate lights, and parking lights to be off, a safety hazard for night /dusk/dawn driving conditions. I am reporting this on behalf of my father who is the owner of the vehicle. I would appreciate being cc'd on any correspondence at edscargot@aol.com
