I called chevrolet (1‑800‑630‑2438) about a recall on 2000-2002 chevrolet blazer id#08v231000. Exterior lighting: brake lights: switch. I told them my 2002 blazer brake lights,hazard lights,dash lights,tail lights,head lights,interior lights,turn signal lights were not working properly. Brake lights,turn signal lights,and hazard lights only worked when you push red hazard pop-up button to the left and hold it there. Headlights,tail lights,dash lights,and interior lights were all flickering while driving. I was told this 2002 blazer was not on the recall list, as it was built on september 5, 2001. The recall ended on august 20, 2001. I have researched this recall,and found it to be the difference between brass contacts and copper contacts in the multi-function switch. Also the grease used in the switch. I asked them if I had it repaired, and found brass contacts, instead of copper contacts in the multifunction switch, if they would reimburse me for the cost of repair. I was given a case # and to get it repaired. The only I would get reimbursed was if another recall would come out in the next 12 months/ 12,000 miles which ever came first. And would strongly recommend a chevrolet dealer. I don't have $600.00-$700.00 to get it repaired at a chevrolet dealer. I believe this is a factory defect, and should fixed immediately! There are more chevrolet blazers with the same multifunction switch problems, not in these recalls. Not all years are covered.

Consumer states. Intermittenly head lamps, radio, windshiel wiper. And doors become innoperable obstructing the drivers views. Dealer has inspected seven times replaced instrumental panel switch. And the problem is reocurring.
