2007 Chevrolet Colorado

There is a recall for my year of Colorado but not my vin. The recall is for 04-09 Colorado trucks for a defective brake light switch. Defective switch=no brake lights. My 2007 Colorado brake light switch is defective, therefore I have no brake lights. The switch has been tested and found to be defective, but a search of my vin shows no recalls. It's obvious that my vehicle and likely many more vehicles are effected than what are covered under this recall.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR IMPACT CRASH DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILING TO ILLUMINATE. I HAD THE BRAKE LAMPS SWITCH OF MY 2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO EXTENDED CAB REPLACED PER THE MANUFACTURER RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2010. HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED FAILED, CAUSING THE DRIVER BEHIND ME TO BE UNAWARE OF MY INTENTION TO STOP, WHICH CAUSED THAT DRIVER TO CRASH IN TO THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CORRECTED BY THE RECALL, BUT GM IS OBVIOUSLY STILL USING FAULTY PARTS. MY ACCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN INJURY OR FATALITY, BUT OTHER DRIVERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. *TR

I GOT A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY TRUCK, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WON'T WORK IN THE TAILLIGHT SYSTEM. THE BRAKE LIGHT ABOVE THE BACK WINDOW WORKS. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THIS I WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS OVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES, ALL MY OTHER LIGHTS WORK IT IS ONLY MY BRAKE LIGHTS THAT DON'T WORK. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS PART OF THE RECALL. WHAT SHOULD I DO. THEY SAY ARKANSAS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR
