| Description of the problem | Rear left brake light is malfunctioning -- local shop said it is not the bulb, rather the whole rear (left) light assembly and the sensor attached to the brake pedal. This car only has 18,000 miles on it -- this should not be failing at this point -- cost to repair is approx. $1000 (for parts, labor) -- others also believe this to be a manufacturer defect -- a 'recall' should be done -- the brakes are a safety issue -- if the driver behind you doesn't see the brake lights come on, the milan can get read-ended. |
