Consumer Description

VEHICLE INFO CENTRE INDICATED A BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION. ALL 3 BRAKE LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE. PERSONALLY CHECKED FUSE WHICH WAS NOT BLOWN AND CONTACTED SAM GALLOWAY FORD IN FORT MYERS FOR SERVICE APPOINTMENT. WAS TOLD ONLY A BULB WAS BURNT & THAT ALL BULBS WERE NON-FUNCTIONAL BECAUSE OF "XMAS TREE EFFECT". I FIND IT UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE TO LOOSE ALL BRAKE-LIGHT FUNCTIONALITY BECAUSE 1 BULB IN THE CIRCUIT EXPIRES. THIS IS EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT; WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A FACTUAL SITUATION WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
