Issue ID	1036774
Internal NHTSA #	10562277

Brand	TOYOTA
Model	CAMRY HYBRID
Model Year	2012
File date	29/01/14
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I have noticed that the rear brake light is not turned on when i place my foot on brake pedal. In order to turn on the light, i had to push little more than i used to do on the other non-hybrid car. Because this vehicle has regenerative brake system, it activates whenever my foot is off from gas pedal, and starts to slow down. On the other non-hybrid vehicle, the light is turned on as soon as i touch the brake pedal, however, on this hybrid vehicle, i have to push more to turn it on. Even i can stop this car without turning on the brake lights. I asked the dealer about this issue, but they told me it is with in normal range. But i feel this is very serious safety issue. For instance, a following driver behind this vehicle may not be able to notice that it is slowing down because brake lights are not on, but actually the car is stopping. Please review this issue and compare to other hybrid vehicle with regenerative brake system.
