Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At any given time, one of my three brake lights is not working. there does not seem to be any reason as the same light that was previously not working will work while a different one will be out without any work being done on the car to try to remedy the problem. some times, only one light is working or none of them are working. this is an ongoing problem. in addition, the transmission leaks fluid on a regular basis. i have had my personal mechanic to refill the transmission at least twice after less than 3,000 miles and had hoses checked to make sure there were no apparent leaks. none were found. the last time the transmission was filled was at the end of may and it is jerking really hard again after it was refilled less than two months ago. that does not appear normal to me.*jb
