Several manufacturers are dimming the brake lights (ie red running lights) by flashing the LED components many times a second. It is disconcerting to view the dashes of light that are perceived by the retina if the head is moved rapidly. I even understand the law requires constant illumination of bulbs. With more and more lights being modulated with on off cycles to reduce intensity, the eye is drawn to these flashes preventing adequate attention to other detail of traffic and obstructions at night.

Parking brake: conventional: air
- What is wrong
- Certain medium duty trucks equipped sr-7 bendix brake valves, the check valve inside the valve cavity may not properly set, causing internal air leakage. If the check valve does not properly seat, the resulting leakage can cause a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after operator pulls the dash valve button.
- Risk
- The delayed parking brake application can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the valves and replace it free of charge. The recall began on july 31, 2006. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1‑800‑630‑2438, gmc at 1‑866‑996‑9463, or isuzu at 1‑800‑255‑6727.
