WE HAVE PURCHASED A CHEVY 3500HD DUMP TRUCK. WE HAVE KNOWN THIS TRUCK FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN STUCK ON AND NO SIGNALS FOR TWO YEARS. WE WERE TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH FOR OTHER 2000 TRUCK MODELS, I.E. THE 2000 BLAZER, BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION. WE FEEL THAT OUR TRUCK SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE OTHER TRUCKS MADE BY CHEVY IN THE SAME YEAR AND SUSPECT IT IS THE SAME PART. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PART IS $400 AND $250 TO REPLACE IN LABOR. WE DON'T FEEL THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE COST AND THEN GET REIMBURSED FOR THE COST WHEN IT IS FINALLY RECALLED. IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SPENT ON USELESS "FIXES" BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK AND NO ONE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR SWITCH BEING BAD UNTIL WE WERE TALKING TO A BLAZER OWNER OF THE SAME YEAR THAT TOLD US ABOUT THE RECALL ON HIS TRUCK. WE INVESTIGATED A LITTLE MORE AND THERE ARE MORE THAN THE 2000 BLAZER WITH THIS PART BEING RECALLED. *TR

NO INCIDENT..,HOWEVER WHILE IN ALASKA IN 2005. I WAS TOLD BY A STATE TROOPER THAT MY VEHICLE SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT MEET DOT STANDARDS, THEY ARE TOO SMALL TO PROPERLY VIEW THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE: 2000 CK3500, CREW CAB, 4X4, DUEL REAR WHEELS..,PULLING A 29' TRAVEL TRAILER. THE TROOPER IS RIGHT, MY MIRRORS DON'T EVEN VIEW BEYOND THE REAR FENDERS MUCH LESS THE TRAILER. MY QUESTION IS; HOW CAN THE VEHICLE INDUSTRY PUT A PRODUCT ON SALE IF IT DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS IT WAS MADE TO DO? NOBODY BUYS A VEHICLE AS DESCRIBED WITHOUT USING IT TO PULL SOMETHING AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS PER THE STANDARDS SET BY DOT NATIONALLY AND BY STATES. *TR
