Consumer Description

THIS PROBLEM CONCERNS A REPEATED LIGHTING SYSTEMS FAILURE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT WHEN I HAD THE BRAKES ON WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT THAT BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL STOP LAMPS WERE NOT LIT ALTHOUGH THE CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP DID LIGHT TO INDICATE THE BRAKES WERE ON. I HAD HAD TO HAVE BOTH OF THESE LAMPS REPLACED ONLY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO WHEN THEY BOTH BURNED OUT WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, PERHAPS SIMULTANEOUSLY AS THEY MIGHT HAVE LAST WEEK. AFTER THE INCIDENT LAST WEEK I PUT IN NEW BULBS BUT, UNLIKE THE FIRST INCIDENT 3 MONTHS AGO, THE LAMPS WOULD NOT LIGHT PROPERLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. I WILL NOTIFY THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEXT WEEK WHEN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS OPEN AGAIN THAT THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE NEEDS ATTENTION.*AK
