NHTSA Complaint #10200032 — 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

I SAW THAT MY REVERSE TAIL LIGHTS WERE NOT LIGHTING UP WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR MICHAEL AUTOMOTIVE IN FRESNO CA AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM $110 TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED EVEN THOUGH MY CAR HAS LESS THEN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW LESS THEN 2 YEARS AGO. DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS IN A MINOR FENDER BENDER. I TOLD THEM IT WAS NOT EVEN REAR-ENDED AND IT COULD NOT BE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY INSISTED IT MIGHT BE AND TO PAY THEM. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT ELECTRICAL SHOP AND THEY CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS A SWITCH BOARD UNDER THE DASH AND IN NO WAY COULD HAVE BEEN HURT DUE TO A MINOR WRECK. I TOLD THE DEALER THIS AND HE STILL REFUSE TO FIX IT UNDER MY WARRANTY. I HAD THE REPAIR DONE AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP, AND NOW CHEV. WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE WORK, BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME NOT HAVING THOSE LIGHTS "IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN" I THINK VERY MUCH OTHERWISE AND EVERY LIGHT ON A CAR THAT TELLS OTHER DRIVERS MY INTENTIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT! *TR
