Rio

Brake lights stopped working. Replaced bulbs and checked fuse but still nothing. Good samaritan pulled up next to me at a red light to let me know, luckily there was no accident and I was only a few blocks from home.

Rio 4-cyl

My brake lights will not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. Thankfully, I had a friend following me to notice the problem, or else this could have led to an accident.
