Reported at 1,041 miles, June 2017 CrashInjury

At times when driving with headlights on the driverside taillight will go out and will cause the middle and passenger brake light to stay on. If I turn the headlights off the middle and passenger taillights work only when pressing the brake peddle.I have removed the tail light and checked it for being burned out, corrosion or being loose and it is fine. I put the bulb back in and the drivers side taillight works fine and the brake lights work as normal. This happened a second time and I checked the bulb.
