| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Let me start by saying that i do not own this vehicle buy was following one last evening. It was dark, i was traveling east on rt 55 near front royal, va. A new (04 / 05) jeep cherokee style vehicle was stopped making a left turn across traffic. The brake lights were plainly visable but i commented to myself that the driver should use turn signals when making this manuver, especially on the well traveled road. As i got closer to the stopped vehicle, to my surprise, the turn signals were on and working.... Problem is ... From 100 feet behind, the intensity of the brake lights over shadowed the operation of the turn sigal as they are both red and operate on seperate light fixtures. *ak |
