1 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2020

The lift gate brake light gets moisture inside during rain. The water builds up and burns out the led lights. This is a safety issue. You need brake lights.

2 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2018

My vehicle has below 11,000 miles and has water pooled in the backup lamp assembly (racetrack light) in the rear of the vehicle. This is causing the led's to flicker and short out at random. This assembly is also the center brake light for the vehicle. Without being corrected this issue will lead to the entire assembly to fail.

3 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 01/11/2018

Bought the vehicle brand new has a little over 10,000 miles on it now, started noticing standing water in the racetrack (back gate) led lights took it to the dealership to find out why water was getting in they informed me the brake light had a crack which I thought was a seam (where the 2 parts met) it is a straight line down, vehicle has never been in a accident or damaged, so the brake light cracked in its own. After a little research I found out this is very common and don't understand how this can be safe since water is getting into something electrical and causing led brake lights to fail or burn out.
