Brake Light problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Astro

Brake lights and hazard lights stopped working. Consumer saw a recall on the television however, after calling the manufacturer, it became clear that this vehicle was not included in the recall.

The brake lights failed. Contacted the dealer. Was told it was in the switch. Recall number 05v099000/ concerning hazard lamp circuit. Was issued.

Brake lights, hazard lights, and turn signal lights fail to function suddenly and with out warning. VIN# 1gnel19w81b156780. Root cause appears to be failure of the multifunction switch ing on the steering column. Same issue wa observed on other gm models.

2001 Chevrolet Astro van. VIN 1gndm19w81b122816. I had to pay $420+ today to fix a gm known safety problem. I was told my car was not covered. They told me I had no other complaint option. Stop lamps/hazard lamps inoperative2000-2001 Chevrolet blazer and trailblazer (classic); GMC jimmy and envoy(classic); and Oldsmobile bravada (classic) summary: vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The multifunction switch could develop an open circuit condition that results in the stop lamps and the rear hazard lamps becoming inoperative. The center high mounted stop lamp and turn signal functions are not affected. Consequence: the loss of stop lamps and rear hazard lamps could fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped and could result in a crash. This is the same problem as NHTSA #01v364000 or NHTSA recall no. 01v364/gm gm/chevy uses the same steering yoke for the Astro/safari vans. They did not include the vans in their the referenced safety recall. They only included the 2000-01 Chevrolet blazer, GMC jimmy, and Oldsmobile bravada. Why not the Astro/safari. They know this is the same part/failure? the gm campaign number I found was 01073 and 01073a.
