Consumer Description

TOOK MY 1994 CHEVROLET P/U TO MILLINGTON CHEVROLET FOR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RECALL. (HAD TO TAKE OFF WORK TO DO THIS) AFTER RECEIVING MY VEHICLE BACK I TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERUSE THEIR HANDIWORK AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THEY HAD NEGLECTED TO REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE ORANGE AND WHITE WIRES PER THE RECALL. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE FIRST TIME I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WAS WHEN I TAPPED MY BRAKES TO COME-OFF CRUISE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AGAIN, THIS TIME HARDER, AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AND STARTED PULLING HARDER!! I QUICKLY DISENGAGED THE CRUISE WITH THE ON/OFF CONTROLLER ON THE STALK, NARROWLY PREVENTING A DISASTER. *JB
