The rear deck brake light works when it wants to. No explanation provided by dealer. Expensive to trace.

I am using this method to alert the industry to a very serious problem with all automobiles with driving lights. In low visibility conditions- dusk, fog, rain, snow, etc., the driving lights increase the vehicle's visibility to oncoming traffic. However, the rear lights do not illuminate when only the driving lights are turned. This lack of tail lights makes it very dangerous for vehicles that are following a vehicle with driving lights only illuminated. I have discussed this with many drivers who feel very safe in low visibility conditions because they have turned on their driving lights- unaware that their rear lights are not illuminated, making it very difficult to see the automobile from the rear.. I feel that the rear lights should illuminate when the driving lights are turned on, increasing the automobile's visibility to both oncoming and following traffic.
