EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WHEN SOMEONE PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND TOLD ME I DIDN'T HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS. ONLY THE SMALL TOP CENTER BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. I WAS LUCKY THAT A STRANGER TOLD ME, I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN THAT THEY WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A SILENT RECALL. THEY HAD 3 OTHER VEHICLES IN THAT DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE IF SOMEONE ISN'T PAYING COMPLETE ATTENTION THEY WILL NOT NOTICE THAT A BLAZER HAS STOPPED UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A PUBLIC RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS A SIMPLE FIX (IT ONLY TOOK PART OF ONE DAY). ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS PUT IN A NEW TURN SIGNAL LEVER. I THINK THAT ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS SHOULD ALWAYS BE A PUBLIC RECALL, IT IS NOT FAIR THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT A PROBLEM AND DOES NOT TELL THE CONSUMER. I GUESS THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME HAD I GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. BUT THEN IT MAY HAVE BEEN TOO LATE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JANET L. WERNER. *AK
