This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Brake light failure detected before any incident. Center light functions while signal/brake combination lights fail. Failure caused by multi function switch located in steering column. This part cuts off the brake light when the signal lights are activated. This problem is intermittent, which makes it difficult to identify at first. Through internet research, I have found many references to this problem. Although my car is 1997, it only has 64K miles, thus I would not expect this type of failure related to moderate usage. If not fixed, brake light failure may result in rear-end collision.
Brake light stays on while driving, and even when the vehicle is off. To get it to shut off, consumer has to tap the brake pedal after the vehicle is shut off. Dealer has not been contacted.
