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.

Since purchase of vehicle Oct 2000 I have been in the shop 35 X for manufacturing problems. Ongoing problems include dimming of headlights at any given time and flickering of clock/radio display at any given time. Service attempted to fix the dimming and flickering by replacing the alternator, but it did not fix the problem. They are now unable to duplicate the problem. It took service 5 attempts to fix taillight water retention problem (they sealed the entire assembly). The rear differential fluid was reportedly low from factory causing a grinding sound in my gears (it took 2 attempts to fix that problem). Since that differential problem, I have had a clunk between 2nd & 3rd gears (service is unable to duplicate the problem).
