| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Both rear brake lights have failed and only the center high mounted lights are working. i replaced the bulbs but taht did not help so i did a little troubleshooting and found that the bulbs worked as they lit up when i used the signal lights, hazard lights, and head lights. i next tried replacing the turn signal/harzard flasher but this did not resolve the problem. i checked on the internet and found that several people have had this problem and the failure was caused by a faulty turn signal lever and that if this part was wiggled the lights would work again. i checked this on the car and flipped the high beams on and off a couple of times via the turn signal stalk and the brake lights started to work again. i find this extremely dangerous that a critical piece of safety equipment relies on something as trivial as a turn signal stalk. i have also heard that general motors has issuad a recall concerning this problem but that it was very narrowly confined and did not include this vehicle despite the fact that many people seem to have had this problem.*ak |
