description: I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS HIT IN THE REAR BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND, DRIVING MY VEHICLE INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS GIVEN A TRAFFIC TICKET AND MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO FRONT AND REAR. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME STATED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS. WHICH WAS CONFIRMED BY THE OFFICER. THE DIAGNOSIS BY THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BROKEN. THIS WAS DONE ON NOV. 10, 2009 AS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE THERE DUE TO LEGAL PROBLEMS. I DID HOWEVER CALL GM SOON AFTER THE INCIDENT AND TRY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME . THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP CONTACTED GM FOR POSSIBLE REPAIR. IT WAS NOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL IN 2002. THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS ARE TRYING TO DENY REPAIRING AGAIN SAYING THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE TWICE. THIS PART WAS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BAD PART THAT FAILED LIKE THE FIRST ORIGINAL PART. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH A RELIABLE NEW DESIGN OR BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE IT AGAIN IF IT FAILS AGAIN. *TR
