I saw that my reverse tail lights were not lighting up when I put the car in reverse. I took it to the dealer where I bought the car michael automotive in fresno ca and they told me I would have to pay them $110 to have it diagnosed even though my car has less then 30,000 miles on it and bought it brand new less then 2 years ago. Due to the fact that it was in a minor fender bender. I told them it was not even rear-ended and it could not be the cause of the problem and they insisted it might be and to pay them. I took it to an independent electrical shop and they concluded that it was a switch board under the dash and in no way could have been hurt due to a minor wreck. I told the dealer this and he still refuse to fix it under my warranty. I had the repair done at an independent shop, and now chev. Will not reimburse me for the work, because they told me not having those lights "is not a safety concern" I think very much otherwise and every light on a car that tells other drivers my intentions is very important!
