| Description of the problem | Takata recall - in 2016 there was a recall for the brake light switch to be fixed on my car. They said that they fixed it but now i am having the same issues as my brake light switch is still malfunctioning. My brake light stays on the whole time when i am driving which i have had to replace the bulbs as they were blown and one of them had melted. As far as i can see, if this was properly repaired then none of this would have been happening. I have to constantly lift my brake pedal to turn them off before i get out of the car so that they will not be on. This happens while in motion and stationary |
