EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SOMEONE STOPPED ME AND SAID I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. SAW THERE WAS A RECALL - ID01V36400 - FOR A HAZARD SWITCH CARRIER REPLACEMENT. HAD THE SWITCH FIXED ON OCTOBER 11,2007 FOR $187.01 BUT WAS TOLD THAT VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THE VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED AND COULD NOT PAY FOR THE PROBLEM. IN JUNE, 2008 ANOTHER RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM - ID 08V23100 - BUT VIN # WAS STILL NOT INCLUDED. HAVE FILLED OUT THE FORMS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE. IN THE MEANTIME, THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN SOLD AND CHEVROLET SAYS NOTHING CAN BE DONE. AT TIME OF REPAIR THE BLAZER ONLY HAD 65,000 MILES. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN BOTH THE RECALLS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:SWITCH, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I CAME ACROSS A 2002 CHEVROLET BLAZER LS RECALL #01V364000 ISSUED ON OR ABOUT MARCH 2002. I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE RECALL WHEN I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED AT JIM TRENARY CHEVROLET IN O FALLON, MO IN MARCH 2008. I LATER FOUND THE RECALL. THE REPAIR WORK THAT I PAID FOR MATCHED EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS ABOUT SO I ASKED FOR A REFUND FOR THAT WORK. THEY REFUSED SINCE MY VIN WASN'T ON GM'S LIST OF OPEN RECALLS. WHAT WENT WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE WAS WHAT WAS EXACTLY DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL. WHY WASN'T MY VIN INCLUDED? PART # 26100837 WAS A PART MENTIONED IN THE RECALL AND IT IS LISTED ON MY PAID INVOICE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
REAR BRAKE LIGHTS & THIRD LIGHT WERE STAYING ON INTERMIT. WHITE SMOKE IS NOW COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL AFTER THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED TODAY. THIS SWITCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO THE SUBJECT PRIOR RECALL OF BLAZER BRAKE LIGHT AND MULTI FUNCTION BREAK LIGHT SWITCHES. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR SHOP, THE OLD BREAK LIGHT SWITCH SHOWED A BURN MARK. AND, I KEPT THE OLD PART. WE JUST DROVE IT HOME AND THE BREAK LIGHTS STILL STAYED ON AND THE SMOKING STARTED WHICH SCARED ME SO THE SHOP HAS IT ONCE AGAIN THIS TIME TO REPLACE THE MULTI- FUNCTION SWITCH. NOTE: THAT WE WERE TOLD BY GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT OUR BLAZER WAS A FEW VIN NUMBERS OFF THE RECALL AND WASN'T EFFECTED BY THE BREAK LIGHT RECALL.......... THE PROBLEM WAS IN AT THE TIME. THE REPAIR SHOP IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING OUT THE SECOND SWITCH AT GREAT COST TO US. *NM
