I made a complaint against this same problem but now it is on the opposite side. The brake rear passenger side has burned. The dealership blocked em from making an appointment to repair the defect. I will try again. This is the second burning of the brake light system.

Vehicle was stationery. In some cases is difficult to start the engine because the brake pedal is very hard (almost rock solid), driver must press harder the brake pedal to make the vehicle start (smart key procedure). If vehicle doesn't detect the driver's foot in pressing the brake pedal, the engine will not start and ignition switch will go to acc or on position. Events occurred in 01/24/2019 and dealership (called 01/25/2019) wants to inspect the vehicle in February 15,2019 because they are full until that date.
