2008 CHEVROLET COLORADO Complaints

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH. ALL BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING; NO LONGER ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. THIS INCLUDES THE TOP LAMP, ABOVE THE BACK WINDOW. THERE IS A RECALL NUMBER 09V310000 THAT DESCRIBES THIS SITUATION, BUT ONLY GOOD FOR CERTAIN STATES. IN PROCESS OF BRINGING TO CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER FOR FORMAL DIAGNOSIS. REQUESTING CONSIDERATION ON EXPANDING THE CURRENT RECALL TO INCLUDE NJ, WHERE MY TRUCK IS REGISTERED. CRITICAL SAFETY HAZARD, AS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

A FEW YEARS AGO, NOTICED MY CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T WORKING. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP AND FOUND OUT THE PART WAS UNDER RECALL, AND THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING EITHER. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, UNTIL THIS WEEK. I NOTICED TODAY THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CRUISE ISN'T WORKING. WHEN I PARKED MY TRUCK, I TESTED MY BACK BRAKES IN A REFLECTION- NOT WORKING EITHER! AGAIN! IS THIS PART UNDER RECALL STILL?

SITTING IN A PARKING LOT NONE WITHIN 100 FEET OF ME MY KEYS WERE ON PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE AIR BAG EXPLOIDED THEN ON JANUARY 2019 BATTERY WENT DEAD PUT NEW BATTERY IN IT THEN ON FEBRUARY 13 LOST ALL POWER TO DASH STILL HAD ALL OTHER POWER BUT WHEN I TURNED IT OFF WILL NOT DO ANYTHING HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER SAID IT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE PUT IT IN AND STILL NOTHING I THINK IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE AIR BAG

RECEIVED A SAFETY LETTER SEVERAL YEAR AGO (TOLD NUMBER WAS 14609), I CALLED THE DEALER WHEN I GOT THE LETTER (APPROXIMATELY 2014) AND WAS TOLD SINCE MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON EVEN THOUGH MY SEAT BELT DIDN'T RETRACT PROPERLY, I WAS NOT VALID FOR THE FIX. MOVE FORWARD TO TODAY, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE WEEKS AGO (INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, THEN STEADY), MY SEAT BELT HASN'T RETRACTED PROPERLY FOR YEARS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FOR REPAIR AND THEY REPLACED THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. SO 2 FOLD, I FIND OUT THE LETTER WAS JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I MISSED BY DATE BUT NOT BY MILES. AND EVERYTHING ONLINE IMPLIES THE WIRING HARNESS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED SO NOT ONLY AM I OUT THE MONEY I AM NOT SURE IF WE SOLVED THE ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW Y'ALL COULD HAVE MADE AN AIRBAG ISSUE JUST AN NOTE ON THE PAGE (EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED ON ME) WHEN IF MY AIRBAG DOESN'T WORK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD RESULT IN MY DEATH.
