Consumer Reports is sending a warning to drivers.
ExpandLaura Geller, CMG Washington News Bureau and KIRO 7 News StaffConsumer Reports is sending a warning to drivers -- the electric vehicle in front of you might be slowing down, but you might not know until the last second. New tests show the brake lights on some EVs don’t come on early enough to warn other drivers the car is coming to a stop.
“It’s something we want consumers to be aware of,” Alex Knizek, manager of automotive testing and insights for Consumer Reports, said. “You run the risk of maybe getting in an accident, somebody rearending the car because they didn’t realize it was slowing down.”“You can essentially drive the vehicle without ever touching the brake pedal,” Knizek explained.
Consumer Reports found this issue in models from Hyundai, Genesis and Kia. It impacts 101,000 vehicles.
