THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE BACK RIGHT SIDE KEEPS GOING OUT. HAVE HAD BULB REPLACED 4 TIMES. THE BULBS BURN RIGHT OUT. LAST TIME DURING OIL CHANGE AT MISTER CAR WASH THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE TAIL LIGHT REPAIRED AS IT IS ALL MELTED INSIDE AND THE BULB WILL NOT STAY IN THE LAST TIME I HAD IT REPLACED WAS DURING A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AT MONDAY CHEVROLET BEFORE THIS. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A FACTORY DEFAULT? NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN. THIS CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND ONLY HAD 30 THOUSAND MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND NOW ONLY ABOUT 65000 ON IT NOW .. I DO NOT DRIVE IT MUCH .HAVE ONLY PUT ABOUT 35 THOUSAND ON IT IN OVER 6 YEARS I HAVE OWNED... HAVE OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TAIL LIGHT. I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET I DO HAVE NEW BULBS BUT THEY GO OUT IN A DAY OR LESS SO NO NEED TO REPLACE UNTIL I GET A NEW TAIL LIGHT HOLDER THING? YOU TELL ME... WHAT CAUSED THIS? I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR EXCEPT THE TAIL LIGHT. GREAT LITTLE CAR FOR SURE! I HAD TAKEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT HAS EXPIRED AND I NEVER USED IT... CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE OTHER THAN THE TAIL LIGHT ......OH AND RIGHT BLINKER STICKS HAS ALWAYS STUCK BLINKING AND I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF MY SELF.
I WAS GOING 25 MPH WHEN I CRASHED CAUSING OVER 5,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF AUTO AND PROPERTY DAMAGE IN ADDITION TO THE MEDICAL BILLS WHICH I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IN FULL YET. THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT. I RECEIVED THE RECALL INFORMATION IN THE MAIL, BUT THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. ALSO, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE CRASH HAPPENED. I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON INJURED. *JS
