Ignition cap cross threaded.
On the highway I was signalled by another driver that I had no brake lights. I pulled over to confirm and found that indeed I did not have working brake lights. When I got home I found that I had blown a fuse for the brake light circuit. I replaced the fuse and have not had a problem since. I reported the problem to the dealer at my following service appointment. The service rep confirmed that all 3 lights (2 main & the high mounted 3rd light were on the same fuse. I feel this is a safety issue as 1 fuse going out with seemingly no cause leaves the vehicle and driver vulnerable to a rear end accident.
