Tail Light Switch problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu

Tail lights not working and have a problem recall for tail lights problems.

My tail lights are not working, they randomly went out however brakes blinker ect all still work multiple forums say people have had the same issue just google it. They went out at night in a canyon, I could have been severely hurt had an officer not noticed.

As I was driving the driver behind me told me that there was something wrong with my tail lights. I then noticed while driving that the brake lights stayed on and when I did press down on the brakes there was nothing. This poses a great problem in that I could have been rear ended due to the drivers behind be me not knowing if I was braking or not. This needs to be recalled. My family owns 3 chevy's, but I am unhappy with the problems I am having with this Malibu. This may be our last chevy purchase.

The car had an issue with the syatem setting a code to check transaction and esc and the brake lights would stick on. This happened about once every 2 or 3 months. Now that the gm recall has been done it is setting these same codes 2 or 3 times a day. But instead of my brake lights being on, the brake lights don't work, my cruise control doesn't work, my tail lights don't work the car still says service transaction and esc daily. This recall has made my problem much worse. It is dangerous to drive as I never know if my tail lights and brake lights are working or if my antilocks or stabilization systems work. Gm needs to find a different solution to this problem.

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis and an unknown repair was performed on the vehicle. Two weeks after the repair, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired for most recent failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
