I just bought this new car and this new car has a brake light out ? Odd..How can this is mind boggling ! This new car only has 289,500 miles and my 3rd brake light bulb went out.I drove the car 16,000 miles thus far and I don't know when this light went out...I am very upset,I want a recall on this 2005 Dodge,how doesn't a brake light not last longer than 11 years ? Nobody can answer me !
