The brake lights failed while backing up. .

2 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2002

The brake lights do not come on under light braking, dealer showed me that this happens on other vehicles he had on his lot. Dealer is unable to fix, I contacted Ford customer service, file 1495490060, and Ford requested that I test other similar vehicles, I did, and once I confirmed to Ford that the other vehicles exibited the same problem Ford told me that there was nothing they would do as the operation is normal. Since seeing the problem on my Ford Explorer I have notice that many Ford Explorers stopped at trafic lights do not have any brake lights on. Is this the same problem as I am seeing? Ford does not appear to care. Dt.
