EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER HAVE GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN 9 MONTHS. EACH TIME THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND BULB. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH MY TRAILBLAZER. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY THIS PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING, AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT FUTURE PROBLEMS. *LA

BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT ON 2002 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT HAVE FAILED ON FOUR OCCASIONS SINCE LEASING THIS NEW CAR ON 5/24/02. SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GREAT IN FIXING THE PROBLEMS. THIS FIRST INCIDENT ON 11/6/2002 INVOLVED ONLY ONE TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHT BUT THE FOURTH INCIDENT ON 11/21/2003 INVOLVED BOTH TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHT. THE FAILURE COMES WITHOUT WARNING AND ONLY IS NOTICED WHEN A GOOD CITIZEN DRIVER INFORMS ME. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS NOTICED WHEN A DRIVER ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE BOTH LIGHTS WERE OUT. FORTUNATELY, THE TOP (DOLE) LIGHT WORKED. THE DATES OF THE REPAIRS ARE: 11/6/02, 8/7/03; 12/23/03; 11/21/03. IN A RELATED PROBLEM THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND/OR WASHERS HAVE FAIED ON THREE OCCASIONS: 7/2/02; 11/6/02 AND 12/23/02. *LA

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE FAILED. LUCKILY SOMEONE BEHIND ME HAS BEEN NICE ENOUGH TO LET ME KNOW BEFORE I AM REAR ENDED. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND HOPE THAT GM FIXES THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. THE SOCKET HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND APPEARS TO BE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. IF YOU PULL THE BULB SLIGHTLY OUT OF THE SOCKET THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL WORK, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE FIRST BUMP OR TWO YOU GO OVER SHORTS THE LIGHTS OUT AGAIN. I ONLY HOPE I CONTINUE TO HAVE NICE PEOPLE, WHO ARE PAYING ATTENTION, BEHIND ME WHEN I AM TRAVELING, OTHERWISE I MAY BE WRITING BACK TO REPORT SERIOUS DAMAGE. LET'S GET THIS FIXED-IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM-JUST READ THE COMPLAINT LIST. *AK
