| 2006 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH | 2006 CHEVY COLORADO CREW CAB. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND CURRENT OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA COMPLAINT NUMBER 06V139000, THERE IS A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH MALFUNCTION WITH THIS TYPE OF GM VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS ITEM REPLACED 6 TIMES DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2006. GM HAS FAILED TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY LOCAL AND STATE POLICE INFORMING ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INOPERABLE. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAD A POLICE ESCORT TO THE ALLEN SAMUELS DEALERSHIP IN CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS. GM NEEDS TO FIX THE ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE SENT LETTERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON SEVERAL DATES WITH NO RESPONSE. *TR |
