| 2000 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARD FLASHERS, CONSISTENT WITH RECALL 01073. THESE ISSUED HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT, BUT IN THE PAST MONTH HAVE BECOME CONSTANT. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS STATED THAT THIS RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED IN 2002. THIS ISSUE WITH LIGHTS HAS OCCURRED SINCE 2007, CONTACT WITH CHEVY HAS BEEN OFF AND ON SINCE THAT POINT. CONTACTED CHEVY TODAY 9/15/2008 BECAUSE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH HAS NOW STARTED TO SMOKE WHEN TURN SIGNALS ARE USED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY COMING FROM THE MFC WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN 2002. CHEVY HAS STATED THAT RECALLS ARE A ONE-TIME FIX AND ANY FURTHER ISSUES AT ANY POINT IS THE LIABILITY OF THE CUSTOMER. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT FOR A RESOLUTION OF A RECALL REPAIR WITH WAS PERFORMED ONLY 6 YEARS AGO. IF THIS ISSUE IS UNRELATED TO THE 01073 RECALL, I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF MY POCKET, BUT I WANT CHEVY TO INITIATE THE DIAGNOSIS, INSTEAD THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE NO FINANCIAL SUPPORT WHATSOEVER TO EVEN DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS ERROR. I HAVE STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH ALL SAFETY FEATURES INTACT, AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE SAME PROBLEM THAT 01073 ADDRESSED HAS RECURRED. I WOULD LIKE CHEVY TO BEAR THE COSTS OF DIAGNOSIS, AND COSTS OF PARTS AND LABOR FOR ALL REPAIRS REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE MALFUNCTIONS RELATING TO THE HAZARD SWITCH AND/OR MFC (MULTI-FUNCTION TURN SIGNAL SWITCH). *TR |
