THE FIRST INSTANCE THAT I WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WAS WHEN A POLICE OFFICER PULLED ME OVER TO QUESTION THE BRAKE LIGHTS ISSUE OF THEM NOT COMING ON WHILE I WAS STOPPED. IT APPEARED THAT THEY WERE JUST NOT WORKING, HOWEVER THE ISSUE INITIALLY WENT AWAY AND I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR A YEAR AFTER THAT. OCCASIONALLY OTHER DRIVERS HAVE SIGNALED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING AMISS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT NOW THAT THE CAR IS AT 100,000+ MILES, THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS IS NOW CONSTANT. THE ISSUE DOES NOT DISAPPEAR AND REAPPEAR. WE HAVE NOW HAD ANOTHER DRIVER FOLLOW THE CAR TO TEST THE BRAKE LIGHTS, AND IT IS EXACTLY THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ON CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING AND OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF AND THEN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED, THE LIGHTS TURN OFF, AND SO ON. IT APPEARS THAT THE CONTACT IS INCORRECT BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHTING. IT APPEARS THAT THE EXACT ISSUE THAT I AM EXPERIENCING IS DESCRIBED BY: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V036000 HOWEVER, MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE STATED IMPACTED POPULATION, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER DOES STATE THAT THE ISSUE COULD AFFLICT MORE CARS, BUT THAT THE PRIMARY PERIOD IN WHICH THIS MANUFACTURING ISSUE OCCURRED WAS ADDRESSED. I WOULD ARGUE THAT POINT AS IT APPEARS THAT THIS CAR IS IMPACTED BY THIS WITHOUT ANY RECOURSE. *TR
