Consumer Description

BRAKE LIGHTS ACTIVATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT BEING PRESSED. LIGHTLY PRESSING ON BRAKE PEDAL DEACTIVATES BRAKE LIGHTS. FULLY PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL WILL CORRECTLY ACTIVATE BRAKE LIGHTS. UPON RELEASING BRAKE PEDAL BRAKE LIGHTS WILL DEACTIVATE FOR SOME TIME BEFORE ACTIVATING ON THEIR OWN. AT FIRST THIS STARTED HAPPENING OCCASIONALLY BUT HAS PROGRESSED TO HAPPENING AT ALL TIMES INCLUDING WHEN STATIONARY IN PARK, AND IN MOTION. DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ACTIVE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED OTHER DRIVERS ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT I AM DOING, CREATING AN UNSAFE SITUATION.
