Defect
The automatic cruise control unit software is defective. When the automatic brake of the adaptive cruise control system is active and the driver applies the brake, or when the automatic brake of the forward collision damage mitigation braking system activates, the cruise control unit continues to judge that the brake is still active even after these brake functions have been released. As a result, the brake lights remain illuminated and do not extinguish until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the automatic cruise control unit with a corrected part.
