Cruise Control problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado

My cruise control and my rear driver's side top tail light went out a week or so ago. Today, my stop lights stopped working completely, including the 3rd brake light. I was almost rear ended and another driver informed me that my brake lights didn't work. After researching the issue, I discovered that the problems I'm experiencing are related to 2 switches above my brake pedal-the stop lamp switch and the brake cruise release switch. I called the chevy recall hotline and provided my VIN #. The girl lacy informed me there wasn't a recall for my vehicle and that they would do nothing to help me get the problem resolved. I've seen numerous reports online of other people with the same issue being denied as well. The reference # to my call is 71-1478975898. I believe this to be an extreme safety hazard and would like chevy to cover the cost of the repair and any accidents I may get into as a result of this problem. Thank you. Andrew bihn.

The electric system is is knocking out the brake light and cruise control on all 2004 and up chevorlet Colorados. I was driving home from work just to be pulled over because the brake lights wasn't working he told me the guy behind me almost nailed me because of it. I didn't know! but I did know of the Colorados having a big problem with the electric system knocking out the brake lights and cruise control. So I got on line to see just how bad it was and found out it's no laughing matter all most every chevorlet Colorado truck has this problem. Just thank of comming to a stop from 65 miles an hour and not having brake lights, I and some people on the road with me got lucky today. I called two of my closest gm dealers to try to get it fixed today and asked did they know of a problem like this and they did but gm has no recall it's at the owners exspense to get it fixed, while I told them both what I found out online. . . . The answer from one no one has died yet. **** that's what it takes to get some things fixed now days for some one to die before the companies to fix a defective vehicle. . . Please some that can force gm to fix the problems with the Colorado trucks please help us owners of these trucks outwe can't keep spending money like this I also have spent houndrerds on other problems through out the seven I owned the truck. . . Times are tight can't just got to and buy a nother vehicle. . . Look online these truck are prone for trouble and people don't know it until the have brought the truck.
