Consumer Description

THERE IS A SMALL PAD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BETWEEN THE PEDAL SHAFT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATION SWITCH. THIS PAD SHATTERED INTO SMALL PARTS CAUSING MY BRAKE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN I WASN'T BRAKING. THERE WAS NO WARNING PROVIDED BY THE CAR THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ON. THE LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN DRIVING, WHEN PARKED WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING OR NOT RUNNING. I BELIEVE IT BROKE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BUT I CAN'T BE SURE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PADS WITHIN THE PEDAL CLUSTER ON THE CLUTCH AND OTHER PEDALS THAT ARE THE SAME PART AND MAY BE PRONE TO FAILURE. THE ATTACHED PHOTO INCLUDES THE BROKEN PART AND A PICTURE INDICATING THE EMPTY SPOT WHERE THE PART IS MISSING.
