WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY AND WOULD TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THEY WOULD OPERATE IN THE OPPOSITE WAY THAT THEY SHOULD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE VEHICLES BEHIND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU ARE BRAKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR MONTHS NOW. *TR

REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST I AM DRIVING, WHETHER 35 MPH OR 60 MPH, MY BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATE IN A REVERSE MANNER. AS I APPLY MY BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN I RELEASE MY BRAKES, THE BRAKES LIGHTS COMES ON. THIS CAUSES A DISTRACTION AND A DANGER TO ME AND THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE ISSUE OCCURS OFTEN AND SPORADICALLY. I HAVE NOTICED A PATTERN; WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS MY SERVICE ESC LIGHT COMES ON AND MY TRACTION TURNS OFF. *TR
