Consumer Description

BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL APPLIES THEM; BRAKE LIGHTS DO FUNCTION NORMALLY ON MANUAL BRAKING. THE APPARENT DESIGN FLAW OF BRAKE LIGHTS FAILING TO ILLUMINATE WHEN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL APPLIES THE BRAKES VIOLATES THE SAFETY PRINCIPLE OF BRAKE LIGHTING ALTOGETHER. SUCH A DESIGN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD AS IT COULD LEAD TO INCREASED COLLISIONS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. THIS CONDITION IS OBSERVED TO HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY.
