Consumer Description

THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH WORKS INTERMITTANTLY ON MY 1999 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. AFTER LOOKING INTO SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MANY 2000 ALEROS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN IT STOPS I CAN NORMALLY GET IT TO WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES LONGER BY PUSHING THE TOP OF THE SWITCH DOWN OR WIGGLING IT. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $100 TO REPLACE IT. I REFUSED AND PURCHASED THE SWITCH MYSELF FOR $30. SEEMS VERY ODD THAT GM WOULD RECALL MANY CARS WITH THE SAME SWITCH AND SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT OTHERS. WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT THIS SWTICH IS A PROBLEM IN EARLIER MODELS OF THE ALERO AS WELL. *AK
