Exterior lighting: brake lights: switchReported July 29, 2009 · 185,903 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Gm is recalling 185,903 model year 2004-2009 colorado, gmc model year 2009-2004 canyon, model year 2006 I-280, I-350, model year 2007-2008 I-290, and I-370, passenger vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of alabama, arizona, florida, georgia, hawaii, louisiana, mississippi, nevada, new mexico, puerto rico, south carolina, texas, u.s. Virgin islands and utah. Some of these vehicles have a brake lamp switch that may not work as designed due to contamination in the switch.
Risk: This condition could cause the simultaneous loss of all brake lamps or cause all of the brake lamps to stay on continuously. Both of these conditions could fail to warn others of the driver's intentions and could lead to a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components as specified in the recall bulletin free of charge. Gm anticipates that parts will be available by june 2010. A special coverage for vehicles registered in all other states will be implemented in the same time frame. In the interim, owners who experience the failure can obtain a free repair, however they will be required to return when the new design part becomes available. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1‑800‑630‑2438, gmc at 1‑866‑996‑9463, isuzu at 1‑800‑255‑6727 or at www.gmownercenter.com.

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.
