This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The brake lights of my Toyota Corolla (1996 model) have been having some malfunctions on and off for at least a year. At first, I thought it was the bulb problem, so I checked the assembly myself. The bulbs are all ok. The bulbs will light when I touch the wires connections. The bulbs will be ok for a while (days, hours or days), but it will stop functioning some time afterwards. It seems there is a connection problem in the design of the tail light assembly. Since I am not an expert on it, I would like to report the incident. I have noticed the problem on same model cars on the road. To do a simple test, you may want to locate a 96/97 model with taillight blackouts. If the bulbs are ok, my statement will be valid.
