The center third brake light fails repeatedly. It is an led light and safety factor. I am on my 3rd light on a 2007 model. First replaced in dec. 2010, and again on dec. 2016 an led light should last longer than then that.

During a routine oil change 'equipment inspection' was informed the third brake light was 'burned out'. As this is a multi-light led, the probability of the all the led to have failed was suspicious. Dealer rep was very sure entire unit required replacement and quoted a price of nearly $200 for repair of a piece of safety equipment. Deferred repair to further investigate. Web search shows this is a extremely common…

I am only entering lighting on this complaint. It is now apparent to me that most 2007 honda civic sedans suffer from failure of the third (high mounted) brake light. This light works intermittently and may not have been working at time that i was involved in a rear-end collision. I also own a 2006 honda civic sedan that has the same problem. In my day to day driving, i have noticed that most other honda civic…

Ex coupe models. 3rd high mount brake light malfunctioning. Vehicle failed inspection for this reason. Light came back on then went off again while moving wires a few times. Led light not blown, still working but wiring is causing the malfunction. Going to have the vehicle re-wired correctly. I see many complaints online from consumers with this same problem. Very expensive to fix. Led lights shouldn't blow out this…

Reported to dealer that center high mount brake light worked intermittently. They could not duplicate problem. After brake light totally stopped working returned to dealer (10,000 miles later) and was told it was more than likely a burned out bulb. The brake light doesn't have a bulb but a row of 5 leds. Was told to return the following week to pay for diagnostic to determine the problem. I removed the light at home…
