Yes, my car does that as well. Maybe it would cope with the situation although back in the late 70's and early 80's the gas there was so extremely bad that even an old VW Beetle with a regular 1200cc engine needed serious adjustments after crossing the border. And those cars were known to be happy with really bad swill, low compression and all.

None of my Fords have had similar.

Could have been. But that's stupid if a supposedly safety-enhancing feature does the opposite. Why don't they just turn the tail lights on with the daytime running lights?
