| Description of the problem | This is the second time the brake lights stop working. On this occasion i was on my way to a doctor's appointment on highway 270 coming from hagerstown md when my passenger told me someone is trying to get my attention the driver told me my brake lights are out it was at that time i realized why the other drivers was stopping so close to my car. I just thought it was bad drivers not knowing they couldn't tell i was stopping. As soon as i could i got out to check and neither brake light was working. I check the bulbs although i just changed them about two months ago and the bulbs was fine. So i switched the lights from auto to where they are just on and the lights work. |
