EXTERIOR LIGHTING

THE CAMPAIGN 04083 WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, BUT IT DIDN'T FIX MY PROBLEM. THE CHEVROLET SERVICE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THEY CHECKED THE SOCKETS, FOUND THAT THEY DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED AND GREASED ACCORDINGLY, BUT THAT THE TURN SIGNALS ARE INOPERATIVE AT TIMES DUE TO THE FACT THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IS BAD & NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO GET THEM TO WORK ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVE ALL OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT THIS CAMPAIGN INDICATED IT WOULD RESOLVE, BUT MY TURN SIGNALS ARE STILL GOING OUT SPORADICALLY, AND IT OCCURS MORE OFTEN IF MY LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON AND IF I PRESS DOWN THE BREAK. I'VE BEEN HAVING TO REPLACE MY BREAK LIGHTS OFTEN AND THIS STARTED OCCURRING THE LAST TIME I HAD MY LEFT BREAK LIGHT REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE TURN SIGNAL WORKS AT LEAST THE FIRST TIME I PUT IT ON, BUT THEN WILL NOT FLASHING & STOP MAKING NOISE SHORTLY AFTER BEFORE I'VE EVEN MADE MY TURN. THE FIRST PROBLEM AROSE WITH MY BLINKERS FLASHING VERY QUICKLY WHICH WAS RESOLVED AFTER REPLACING MY BREAK LIGHT, BUT I'VE HAD PROBLEMS ON AND OFF WITH MY TURN SIGNALS EVER SINCE. MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER HAS 105,517 MILES ON IT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I HAVE WENT THROUGH OVER 10 BULBS IN MY BACK TAIL-LIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. EVERY TIME I GO OUT AND ABOUT IT BLOWS AND WHEN I PULL THE BULB OUT THE PLASTIC IS ALWAYS MELTED OVER THE CONTACT WIRES. RECENTLY I WAS ON MY WAY TO MY GIRLFRIEND'S FAMILY'S CHRISTMAS EVENT AND I GOT PULLED OVER FOR MY TAIL LIGHT BEING OUT, WHICH HAD BEEN REPLACED A FEW DAYS BEFORE. I SHOWED THE POLICE AND HE ONLY GAVE ME A WARNING, ALTHOUGH I AM GETTING SICK OF THIS HAPPENING. I WENT INTO AN ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE TO JUST GO AHEAD AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE SOCKET, BUT WHEN THEY CALLED A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ALL THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I DO IS REPLACE THE BULB, AGAIN. I REPLACED THE BULB AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW IT BLEW WITHIN 3 DAYS. I AM STILL CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS INCONVENIENT PROBLEM BEFORE I JUST SELL MY CAR TO GET A BETTER ONE.

I HAVE HAD A RECALL FIXED TWICE ON THE BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, TAIL LIGHTS ALL IN THE TRUNK FOR THE REAR LIGHTS WELL I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE RECALL 2 YEARS LATER AFTER CONTACTING MCCLUSKEY CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY TELL ME IT IS A 12 MONTH, 12,000 MILE WARRANTY ISSUE ON A RECALL BY GENERAL MOTORS. APPARENTLY IT WAS FIXED ONLY TEMPORARILY HOW CAN THE SAME WORK BEING DONE TWICE FOR A RECALL HAVE A TIME STIPULATION? THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT DIRECTLY AFTER I HAD 36,100 MILES ONLY 100 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE A SHORT IN THE DRIVER SIDE MOTOR FOR MY DRIVER WINDOW, THEY WANT $375.00 TO FIX ONE WINDOW. I UNDERSTAND CAVALIERS ARE GARBAGE THAT'S WHY THEY QUIT MAKING THEM, BUT THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT WHEN THEY WANT YOU TO FINANCE ONE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL

ON JANUARY 28TH 2005, I TOOK MY 2003 CHEVY CAVALIER TO MY GM DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON A RECALL ISSUED BY YOU AND GM, RECALL #04083. THIS RECALL IS ONE OF THE MOST BLATENT DISREGUARD FOR HUMAN LIFE. YOU GAVE CHEVY OPTIONS! OPTIONS, THAT SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN GIVEN BECAUSE WITH THESE OPTIONS HUMAN LIFE IS STILL AT RISK! THIS RECALL ALLOWS CHEVY TO APPLY GREASE BEFORE REPLACING THE REAR LAMP BULB SOCKETS, NOT JUST TO REPLACE THEM AND INSURE MY SAFTEY AS A COMSUMER. MY CAR WAS SERVICED ON JANUARY 28TH 2005 FOR THIS RECALL. GREASE WAS APPLIED AND WITH IN 3 DAYS MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR LAMP FAILED AND HAD DONE SO WITH ALL SIGNS LISTED ON THE RECALL. BUT BECAUSE THE DEALER HAD DONE THE RECALL THEY TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS A BURNT OUT LIGHT BULB. WHICH IN THE END PROVED NOT TO BE. THE WHOLE SOCKET WAS THEN REPLACED ON JANUARY 31ST 2005. FAST FOWARD TO APRIL, MY WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED. WHEN MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR LAMP FAILS, ALSO WITH ALL THE SIGNS LISTED ON THE RECALL, BUT BECAUSE THE DEALER HAD DONE THE RECALL THEY TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS A BURNT OUT LIGHT BULB. I CHECK THE LIGHTBULB, WHICH WAS FINE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND ADDRESSED THE SITUATION. WHY WERE BOTH THE SOCKETS NOT REPLACED AT THE TIME THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED? THE ANSWER I RECEIVED MADE ME TAKE A STEP BACK. I WAS TOLD, CHEVY DOES NOT ALLOW THEM BOTH TO BE REPLACED UNLESS THEY ARE BOTH BROKEN OR IN THIS CASE HAVE FAILED. CHEVY WILL NOT REPLACE SOMETHING UNLESS IT IS BROKE.EVEN IF IT IS A SAFTEY RECALL! TO CLARIFY THE SITUATION I CONTACTED CHEVROLETS CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND RECEIVED THE SAME INFORMATION. THE DEALEARSHIP ENDED UP FIXING THE RECALL AT NO CHARGE TO ME, ON APRIL 30TH 2005. WHY WAS CHEVY GIVEN ANY OPTIONS? WHY WAS MY LIFE PUT ON THE LINE FOR A MERE $100.00, IF THAT? THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ITSELF AND CHEVY NEEDS TO BE MADE TO REPLACE EACH AND EVERY REAR LIGHTBULB SOCKET ON EVERY CHEVY CAVALIER IT PRODUCED IN 2003.
