Consumer Description

RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER) BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT BRIGHT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, DRIVER OF ANOTHER CAR ALMOST HIT OUR VEHICLE WHEN TURNING RIGHT ON TO MAIN ROAD. OUR CAR WAS STOPPING, BUT OTHER DRIVER DID NOT SEE OUR BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS THEY WERE NOT WORKING... THE LEFT (DRIVERS) SIDE WORKS FINE, BUT WAS NOT VISIBLE TO THE OTHER DRIVER. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH 2002-2007 TOYOTA HIGHLANDERS, DEALER SAID NO RECALL WAS ISSUED? THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD BE FATAL. NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF A TICKET FOR HAVING A DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER TOYOTA HIGHLANDER OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RECOURSE FROM TOYOTA. JUST GOOGLE "TOYOTA 2003 HIGHLANDER BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM" TIME TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES. *TR
