Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) we own a 2001 blazer. in the past our vehicle has been rear ended twice, my wife suffered a neck injury in the 1st accident. the 2nd accident just happened about a month or so ago. (2) 2-19-2005 i was following my wife home ,after having my other vehicle serviced,and noticed the stop lamps were not working. i got on the internet ,& found there was a recall for 2000--2002 blazers with the exact same problem nhtsa recall 01v364/gm. (3) i called gm at 1-800-222-1020 gave them my vin number,they said my vehicle was not part of the recall .but i should take to vehicle to a gm dealer as soon as possible ,have the multi-switch repaired,& they would reimburse me for the expenses then ,the first person i spoke with never called me back as they stated they would,i called him back twice. after no response i called ,& spoke with another person , she was going to call the location i had the multi-switch replaced,& call me back , her co-worker called me ,& told me she was in a meeting ,& i should call her back. since then i have called her back 3 times,just got her voice mail ! still waiting to hear back from her. i can not believe gm is not taking this safety problem serious!! my wife,& children could have been killed because of this defect. if our blazer is not part of a recall then gm must be trying to hide this problem!. *ak
