Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Took my car to state inspection and failed because only left side rear brake light was not working. I replaced the bulbs and checked the fuse. Fuse is fine and had new bulbs and the light still do not work. Researched online and it seems like many people are having same problem. From what i read from people online, no one could figure out the cause and solution of the problem. Some people already took it into the dealer and "resolved the issue" by spending $400 but ended up with the same issue a year later. Seems to be going in the direction of electrical design defect. I need to get this issue resolved to pass the state safety inspection.
