Feb 2009 took for oil change, was advised needed brakes. Brakes installed. Brakes have excessive grabbing ever since.... I will not drive on wet roads/rainy days. Brakes have locked up while sitting in driveway- cannot go forward or reverse. Have had at Firestone automotive repeatedly for them to adjust the rear brakes..... now dealing with GM... today is the 3rd time in their shop (patriot Chevrolet in dade city, fl) have been told by patriot Chevrolet that there is nothing else to do except keep adjusting them when they get too tight. I have to take to shop every 2-5 weeks for adjustment.

Brake light switch out again. Had a recall on this in 2006. Matter was taken care of, but problems exists again. Called dealership and they said I am responsible for paying for the repair. Called customer assistance center through Chevrolet and they told me the same as the dealership. I believe this is a malfunction that GM needs to own up to and repair for me and all other customers with this problem at no charge.

2006 Chevy Colorado crew cab. I am the original and current owner of this vehicle. According to the NHTSA complaint number 06V139000, there is a brake light switch malfunction with this type of GM vehicle. I have had this item replaced 6 times during my ownership of the vehicle purchased in February 2006. GM has failed to fix the issue. This is a major safety issue. I have been pulled over by local and state police informing me my brake lights are inoperable. On two occasions I had a police escort to the allen samuels dealership in corpus christi, Texas. GM needs to fix the issue as soon as possible. I have sent letters regarding this issue on several dates with no response.
