On our 2000 Chevy Blazer 4WD our brake light do not work and neither does the hazard lights. I have replace the bulbs but still this does not fix the problem. I recently found this website and found out there was a recall on the brake switch. We never received a letter telling us to replace this part. I was wondering can I still get this replaced, if so can you email me a letter so I can get this problem fixed at no cost, since other people were allowed to get it fixed.
Three years ago the problem began. The owner pulled over to the side of the street and when the hazard lights were turned off then brakes went off as well and would not come back on. The main tail lights and brake lights did not work anymore. There was a recall and the owner did not receive the recall notice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for service and the hazard light switch was replaced. The next time the hazard lights were used, the brake lights stopped working again. This happened about ten months after the first failure. Then the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, they were willing to repair the hazard lights at a cost of $500. There seemed to be no indication from the dealership as to why these hazards lights kept failing. The dealership has been contacted by the owner at least 7 times in last month and a half. The owner attempted to work it out with GM 10 times in the last month and a half.
The hazard/blinker switch is beginning to short out on my vehicle a 2000 Chevy Blazer VIN [xxx]. I researched and found a recall for this problem: NHTSA campaign id number : 01V364000. However after contacting a dealership I was informed that this is a vehicle specific recall and that my vehicle does not fall into this recall even though the problem is exactly the same. I purchased this vehicle used in December of 2004 and the problem began in May 2005. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
