| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a my2000 oldsmobile bravada from a private party. upon driving the vehicle home, i realized that the brake lights did not function. upon further investigation, i found that the hazard flashers also did not work. i found a recall notice on the nhtsa website which covers this vehicle, which describes the malfunction perfectly. upon contacting the oldsmobile division of general motors, i was told by the customer service representative that the vehicle in question had been repaired in 2001 as required by the recall campaign. when i informed the individual that the vehicle again had the same malfunction, i was told that since gm had satisfied the requirement to repair the vehicle already, it would be my responsibility to take it to a dealer and have it repaired at my cost. my concern is that there are likely others who have had the same problem repaired by a gm dealer, and are unaware that the problem exists again with their. driving a vehicle without brake lights is extremely dangerous. i strongly believe that this needs to be looked at again, as the 'fix' performed did not cure the problem long term. |
