Q: The interior lights flash when you press the brakes
We started noticing that when we press the brakes on our SUV, the 2nd and 3rd row ceiling lights would light up (once or twice). It is very annoying at night (very bright) and is a safety issue. It's almost as if there is a photographer in the back seat with their flash going off. I took it to the dealership and they were able to replicate it, but they can't find a fix. Called the manufacturer and they know it's an issue but they don't have a fix yet. Any idea what this could be (electrical)? And how can it be fixed?
