| 2008 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I TRIED TO SET MY CRUISE CONTROL. IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I'D NOTICED THIS BEFORE BUT THOUGHT LITTLE OF IT UNTIL SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. LUCKILY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PULL UP BESIDE ME AND INFORM ME STATING, "HEY, YOU KNOW YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING. ITS LIKE WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING THEY'RE ON BUT WHEN YOU BRAKE, THEY TURN OFF, IT'S KINDA WEIRD." ONCE GETTING TO MY DESTINATION, I HAD ONE OF MY FRIENDS TRAIL BEHIND ME AND OBSERVE THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS INDEED TRUE. LATER THAT NIGHT, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY POSTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DECIDED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE OR CAUSED SOMEONE THEIRS. *TR |
