| Description of the problem | Both right and now left brake lights developed a condition where they turn on in their bright, braking state whenever the head-lights are on. The dealer replaced the right light, at my expense a year ago. Now, i have to replace the left light. These repairs are $400 each. And there is no indication to the driver that this important safety system isn't functioning properly. I was notified by other drivers of the problem. Ford should recall and inspect these vehicles. Someone will be rear-ended because of this problem. The date of my "incident" is approximate. My issue is the same as shown here: https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=4h7m70cuyvk. |
