Consumer Description
BRAKE LIGHTS MAY NOT ILLUMINATE RECALL (WUE-90) WHEN I'M PARKED OR DRIVING, MULTIPLE ALERTS SHOW ON MY DASHBOARD (EYESIGHT OFF, ABS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED, VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CHECKED, HILL START ASSIST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CHECKED). SOMETIMES WHEN I START MY CAR AND I'M ABOUT TO CHANGE TO DRIVE, IT WON'T LET ME SWITCH OUT OF PARK. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE ALERTS GO OFF, MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T ALWAYS ILLUMINATE. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING IN OCTOBER 2018. I WAS THEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND AFTER MY CAR WAS REPAIRED, THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE FIXED UNTIL THE LIGHTS BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH 2019. YOU CAN SEE THE WARNING LIGHTS THAT HAVE ILLUMINATED IN THE ATTACHMENTS.
