Consumer Description

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF AND THEY WILL STAY ON AFTER YOU REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE PEDAL. WE HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH REPLACED 2 TIMES ALREADY AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. IF THE LIGHTS COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES), THE VAN WILL NOT START IN THE MORNING. THIS REMAINS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH THE REPAIR SHOP CAN NOT FIX AND RECOMMENDED THAT WE FILE THIS REPORT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THE VAN SOMETIMES SMELLS HOT INSIDE IF WE CATCH IT BEFORE THE BATTERY GOES DEAD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO PUT FOR THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE SO I WILL PUT TODAY'S DATE SINCE IT DID IT AGAIN TODAY. *TR
