The interior lights over the rear passenger seats and the cargo area blink when the brake pedal is pressed. This also occurs when the left turn signal is applied. The brake control module was replaced once and the issue seemed to go away. It has now returned and the dealer is telling me that the lamps need to be upgraded.
