When press the brakes the rear brake lights do not come on. The vehicle rear lights are on but the brakes lights do not illuminate when the brake pedal is pushed when having to stop or slow down. Only found out about the lights because individual behind my Veracruz pulled from around me to the driver side of my car and told me I had no brake lights just tail lights and he almost rear-rear ended me at the stoplight.
