About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I am registering this complaint because it is a safety issue. I own a 2005 Chevy Silverado with 15,000 miles with brake lights which frequently fail to function. I checked the problem myself and found there was a connection issue. When it continued to occur I took the truck back to the dealer (11/15/07) requesting a different design which I believe is the only way to correct this problem. They lubed the sockets with dielectric grease and they are already out again. They told me they had no other design to fix this problem. When my brake lights fail to work, unless someone alerts me, I am unaware of this issue. Is this something which can be corrected? it truly is a safety issue.

: the contact stated that the vehicle stalled intermittently while driving 50-60 ph. This happens without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealership but they were unable unable to duplicate the problem. The contact believes this is an electrical or engine problem. Updated 2/28/2006 - the consumer smelled something burning and the vehicle would not start. The vehicle continued to blow fuses. The technician found a shoted wire under the steering column.
