Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I saw that my reverse tail lights were not lighting up when i put the car in reverse. i took it to the dealer where i bought the car michael automotive in fresno ca and they told me i would have to pay them $110 to have it diagnosed even though my car has less then 30,000 miles on it and bought it brand new less then 2 years ago. due to the fact that it was in a minor fender bender. i told them it was not even rear-ended and it could not be the cause of the problem and they insisted it might be and to pay them. i took it to an independent electrical shop and they concluded that it was a switch board under the dash and in no way could have been hurt due to a minor wreck. i told the dealer this and he still refuse to fix it under my warranty. i had the repair done at an independent shop, and now chev. will not reimburse me for the work, because they told me not having those lights "is not a safety concern" i think very much otherwise and every light on a car that tells other drivers my intentions is very important! *tr
