The brake lights on my vehicle are constantly illuminated while my headlights are on, regardless of whether or not the brakes are compressed. This is a huge safety concern for me, as other motorists can no longer see when I am braking. I was pulled over for this and given a fix it ticket.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My head lights are NOT sufficient. It does not have the option for 2 bulbs. I have changed out the bulbs 3 times while owning this vehicle and from the first night I drove it after owning it, I noticed the lights where very off. I drive around town and on dark roads where there is NO Road LIGHTS at night with my head lights on Bright and I DO NOT get brighted back. I have hit an animal due to the lights not being bright. I fear driving the car at night or where it's to dark because the light assembly is not proper. No warning lights.
Tail and brake light for the second time has failed. A safety function of this nature should not be this difficult to fix and replace. The item should be available and affordable. You literally have to take out a lone to get it fixed. So now I can't go to work or anything else with this vehicle. This is supposed to be an affordable car. So the only way for me right now to fix is park it. I hear one person say " well it's not like a wheel falling off " I said tell that to the person behind me. With all these distractions now, between phones and other fancy options on cars. I'm a truck driver so I know how important these warning devices are. It is time to set a new standard in how safety items get replaced availability and cost should never be an issue.!!!!!!!!! With out question.
I was pulled over for my BRAKE LIGHT being out. I went to the dealer and was charged $600 for a brake light assembly. My car has 35,636 miles on it, like new vehicle. Even though it is know defect Ford would not reimburse me for part. I was told it was out of warranty and NOT a saftey issue. I certainly believe that a brake light is a safety issue- especially since they have not replaced my driver side airbag. I think this part should have been recalled and I should be reimbursed. Thank you!
My passenger rear lights flicker or don't work at all. Have been told they have been replaced before! Should be a recall as they are expensive and all LED
The passenger side outer LED taillight has failed now twice. Quite expensive to replace as you have to buy a whole new assembly vs just a new bulb.
L e d module for the rear brake lights stays on all the time, bright.
I bought this car used as I am 72 and can't afford a new one. I just found out the tail light is out and called the dealer and they said it would cost $1200.00 to repair. Is ford joking with this kind of light. I guess I'll just take tickets when I'm stopped.
Left rear brake light. It works part of the time and then it does not work. Stopped several times for it not working, then it would start. Not the entire brake light is out. Part of it still lights up. This has been happening since I bought the car used about 4 years ago.
When driving in motion passenger rear brake light is on at night at all times....got pulled over and ticketed. When home I could not recreate the event at several attempts to brake both forward and backward with the headlights turned on. Car has only 29,000 miles on it.
