4 Brake Light Switch problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2012

I was involved in a rear impact crash due to the brake lights failing to illuminate. I had the brake lamps switch of my 2007 Chevrolet Colorado extended cab replaced per the manufacturer recall that was issued in 2010. However, the replacement that the dealership installed failed, causing the driver behind me to be unaware of my intention to stop, which caused that driver to crash in to the rear end of my vehicle. This issue was supposed to be corrected by the recall, but gm is obviously still using faulty parts. My accident did not result in injury or fatality, but other drivers may not be so lucky.

7 Brake Light Switch problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2009

I have a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck bought in georgia and I currently live in tennessee. I discovered upon entering my garage in the afternoon of 7/13/2009 that my brake lights were continuously illuminated and would not turn off despite repeatedly pressing them and turning the vehicle on and off. I was unsure over the source of this problem so I conducted a quick google search and found the news article regarding this particular issue encountered in my vehicle type fitting my exact description (campaign id 09v310000). I am very lucky that I know about vehicles, because at that point I was able to disconnect the defective parts power supply and not drain my battery until I could get to a dealership on July 14th. I arrived at the dealership and was treated very rudely, with the service department insisting that my vehicle was not part of a national recall. I showed them the article with the inclusion criteria, but was still not treated with any respect for my concern. This was a safety issue, and I was also lucky that my brake lights were illuminated at all (even if they were on at all times). I did some more investigation, and found the defective product in my brake pedal assembly. I disconnected it and brought it to the parts department to simply pay for a replacement product. Again, luckily they had a replacement product I could purchase which I did and replaced it myself. The lights now work properly, despite the best efforts of my local Chevrolet dealership.
