What owners wrote
Started to smell burned wires in car. Look under dash and smoke and wires where burned. Brake lights dont work. Reading online and other issue with this car and people where having same issue. When I called dealer they said theres nothing they can do because they are no more recalls on that. But I think this is a safety issue and can cause great danger.
Consumer complained about brake light switch wiring problem. Wiring broke, causing the brake lights to operate poorly.
