| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In 2000 or 2001 while the vehicle was still in warrenty, i had traveled to kentucky for a visit with family. my father-in-law noticed that i had no tail lights or brake lights. a local chevy dealership replaced the brake switch at the pedal (stoplight switch). in march of this year my wife was following me in our other vehicle when she noticed that there was no brake lights or tail lights coming on again. i thought that the switch had worked loose. when i pushed in on the switch the brake lights started working again. then last week my wife was backing out of a parking space and noticed in the store windows behind her that the brake lights were not working again. she drove to an auto parts store and purchased a stoplight switch. i was able to replace the switch. thankfully of the 3 incidents with being unaware of having no brake lights there was never an accident. how many other people may have been unfortunate and this switch has caused an accident? |
