I was driving approximately 70 mph on the highway when I came up behind a vehicle whose three brake lights were completely inoperative. The vehicle suddenly stopped, but there was no brake light illumination to warn following traffic. The only reason I realized the vehicle was stopping was because I was traveling on a slope and could see the vehicles ahead of it also slowing down. If the roadway had been level, I likely would not have known the vehicle was braking and could have rear-ended it at highway speed. This created a serious safety hazard and put me and other drivers at significant risk of a high-speed collision.

THE VEHICLE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR YEARS, I THEN CANNOT START THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO GM, I HAVE HAD IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TWICE, WHICH COST ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THEM TO REPLACE PARTS WHICH HAD NO EFFECT IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OUT, THEN TURN OFF THE IGNITION FOR 10 SECONDS, THEN IT WILL START. I HAVE PUT UP WITH IT FOR YEARS, BUT WHEN I AM STRANDED IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, THAT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. YOUR REPORT WANTS TO KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE, RHYME OR REASON, AT ANYTIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2009.
